Inside the Indigenous Victims Memorial Hall, the guide explained in a sweet voice, "The first floor is the archives, mainly displaying historical materials about the Indigenous people, along with firsthand documents left behind by those involved, such as diaries."
"The second floor contains the classrooms where Indigenous children once studied. Most of the remnants have been cleared away, leaving only a few desks. You may sit at them and experience that piece of history up close."
"The third floor is the dormitory. There are many traces there with unique significance, such as graffiti and scratches on the walls—but no one can understand the meaning of those words and drawings anymore."
"East of the hall lies the cemetery where the victims were buried. It has not been maintained for a long time. They say that on cloudy days or at night, you can hear the dead crying there..."

Dream Teller took the Travel Guide and opened it. Three short lines were written on the title page:
