"Even the cats here have jobs! What's your excuse?"

In Houtong Cat Village, even the felines hold titles of grandeur. Here stands the eternal train conductor 'Black Nose', overseeing a station that once thrived on coal but now thrives on curiosity. The real cat lounging at its base seems indifferent to its statue counterpart's duties. As I stand here amidst this peculiar blend of past industry and present whimsy, I can't help but marvel at how even inanimate objects can command respect in this village. The yellow train behind me whispers tales of journeys past while the lush greenery promises new adventures ahead. One must wonder if these cats ever ponder their own significance in this human world or if they simply bask in their unearned glory.
