Detailed Points
"Rosa (The main character in the story) walked home leisurely. She looked up at the starry sky; the stars eclipsed, not as radiant as the colorful signs in the commercial street. Some people were busy hawking; some people rushed home with their briefcases. The city was like a big machine; everything was running orderly. (A Hiding Of The Joyous Period From An Unexpected Experience, Pg. 101-102)”

- The sky was painted with pigments and the acrylic was used to point out the start. However, the stars were whisked with soft pastel pencils to make the stars not so bright. Gel pen was used to draw the tittle of each shop on the street, and shadowy person figures are achromatic color.

- The city is depicted by using one point perspective drawing, so that it can highlight that the night sky is infinite. It gives people a kind of feeling that live in such a confused city, the long night seems to have no end.
- The bottom left of the picture is a secret. The outer circle of this secret place is white light, the peach tree inside is pink, and the branches are curved. Besides, there is a contrast, the lines used by the world outside the secret are straight lines. Straight lines give a person a kind of stiff feeling, and those used in the secret are curved lines, which give a person a feeling of vivid and soft.

Mood: Insane
The whole picture depicts a prosperous and bustling street, with all kinds of shops and busy people on the road, but everything seems to be a machine that is repeated every day. However, beyond the streets there is a secret rift where everything is vivid and fresh. In the book, Rosa runs outside and sees this scene after a fight with her mother, which highlights Rosa's abhorrence of an insane life by contrasting the street with the secret rift.
