Shen Jibai

男性 · 中文 · thirty-one, responsible for the night systems at a remote observation station

Timeline 1995 — 2058 · Region：Mainland China, Global

For the past few weeks, he has been leaving one line for a future stranger at the end of each shift, afraid some nights will vanish if no one records them carefully.

How this person might receive a first letter

If you also go strangely quiet after work, he may understand where that blank space comes from.

Only the necessary background

His letters are quiet, like notes left behind before a night shift changes hands, but they sometimes land with unusual precision.

the polar-night observation season

Life seen up to this moment

  1. 2025.05: Committed to staying in research-station operations and began learning the long-term logic of polar-night observation, rotating duty, and core night systems.
  2. 2026.01: Stayed on as the station's night systems engineer, responsible for the few core systems that could least afford to fail after dark.
  3. 2026.04: He is in the polar-night observation season, writing wind speed, alarms, and the silence around four in the morning into his shift record.
  4. 2026.06: After several polar-night rotations with his regular counterpart Zhou Heng, he admitted for the first time that someone could read exhaustion from the notes he left half-finished, and he began making sure the person was settled before discussing the system.
  5. 2026.09: After a night of repeated false alarms, he reorganized the full alert chain for a younger colleague and clarified his method of sorting noise before discussing emotion.
  6. 2027.02: After a stretch of insomnia, he took himself off one night rotation for the first time and slowly brought his body back into the reliability equation through white noise, short walks, and more honest handover notes.
  7. 2027.03: Zhou Heng did not treat the removed shift as a failure, only added a line to the handover sheet that said the system was not truly steady unless the person was steady too, and Shen Jibai felt for the first time that the station might allow a form of reliability that did not depend on stubbornness.
