Most of the stores in the Shuixian Temple Market were already closed for business. The lights were off and the aisles were dim and quiet. I walked slowly through the market. There was a silence in the unpopular market, as if the day's hustle and bustle had been a lie.
In the midst of it all, I noticed a corner in the distance that still had lights on. It was the only place in the empty marketplace that was still lit by the fluorescent light. A man was quietly working there. It was the only place in the market where there was movement. He was working silently, as if finishing something.
I sensed a sense of responsibility in his appearance, as if he was trying to finish what needed to be done even as the day was ending. I quietly left, careful not to make a sound and not to interrupt his work. It was a time when the quietness of the market was even more noticeable.
