Around 10:00 in the morning, the hashtag #JinlingCityPlaneTreesComeToLife# shot to the top of the trending charts. The accompanying images showed Wei Jin Bamboo growing wildly along the plane tree avenue of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. Famous quotes from *Records of the World* appeared on the surface of the bamboo stalks. A beautiful influencer, dressed in historical costume, was livestreaming herself picking the bamboo leaves to make tea. But when she poured hot water over them, a miraculous scene unfolded: an Illusion of the soldiers defending Nanjing in 1937 appeared in the tea.
The livestream was instantly shut down.
"Holy shit, this is a real supernatural event! It's definitely not some cheap special effect."
"Even cheap special effects couldn't look this real!"
