Library
At Sham Shui Po, outside the Po On Road Municipal Services Building, a yellow taxi slowly pulled into the parking area.
"Here we are, 110 bucks. This is the nearest large library around here. I heard it opened just a few years ago," the driver, a short and chubby middle-aged man, said as he turned slightly in his seat and pointed out the window at the building, addressing Yang Chu, who was sitting in the back.
"Thank you!"
Yang Chu glanced at the building outside the window, took out a 100-dollar bill and a 10-dollar bill from his wallet, handed them to the driver, and got out of the taxi.
He made his way into the municipal building, took the elevator to the second floor, and arrived at his destination: the Po On Road Public Library in Sham Shui Po.
Yang Chu intended to thoroughly browse through some books to see if he could find a solution to his problem.
He chose not to seek help from medical or other professionals. Hong Kong is a capitalist society, and with less than a thousand Hong Kong dollars left in his pocket, he didn't even have the qualifications to book an appointment at some of the high-end clinics or with specialized medical professionals.
Even if he could reach some suitable institutions or professionals, whether they could solve his sleep problem was another matter. What was certain, however, was that he would quickly become a subject of research and experimentation.
Of course, in the face of life and death, there's little that can't be compromised.
Still, until he had no other options, Yang Chu wouldn't easily let others take control of his fate.
He wasn't even sure why he was thinking this way—
His memories from his past life had many gaps. The life he remembered was blurred and fragmented.
Fortunately, his ability to think and reason logically, and much of the knowledge he had learned, remained intact.
When faced with these problems, his mind could combine his current situation to make judgments and decisions.
Whether these decisions were correct or effective, or if they could solve his current problems, was something he couldn't dwell on much further.
These somewhat scattered thoughts were just fleeting moments that passed through Yang Chu's mind while he quietly sat in the back of the taxi earlier.
The Po On Road Public Library was clean and bright, with a pleasant atmosphere.
The library wasn't very large, with about four or five employees wearing name badges working there.
Once inside, Yang Chu's eyes quickly scanned the sections on the bookshelves, and he soon found the biology and medical sections.
There weren't too many books—about four long rows of shelves—and they ranged from new to old, indicating that aside from purchases, some books were likely donated by the public.
Most of the books were in traditional Chinese, with a few in simplified Chinese scattered throughout. A large portion was in English, but Yang Chu didn't find this too difficult.
Quickly scanning the shelves, Yang Chu soon stopped at one of them and pulled out a book.
The title was *The Most Familiar Stranger*, with a subtitle about self-awareness and discovering potential.
Yang Chu briefly glanced through the table of contents and flipped through a few pages. Feeling it might be useful, he set it aside on the nearest shelf and continued searching for other books.
