The teacher opens with a story about being an alternative service worker in the Philippines, and tells of a paranormal incident he encountered in a hotel in the Philippines. On the first night, he woke up to find that the three chairs in the hotel had all shifted to face him, "Isn't literature like the line in the darkness formed by the three chairs? Literature is the line we have to cross." Using the important symbols in the story as symbols, he brings out his own view of literature. To the false legend circulating in the alternative service center, "Ghost stories are the stories we recognize. This brings out the core of gay literature: "We are like ghosts, we want to appear and manifest. The teacher also prepared a friend request column from a magazine in the 1990s, showing us how gay people had to express themselves in a roundabout way in that era of non-openness. Finally, the teacher encouraged us to read more gay literature and try to create our own work, to try to break through the gay literature that has already reached its peak, to try to break through that "line".
