This makes me wonder how much can be learned from whatever is left from the space travel era. :D

Right? There could be huge philosophical arguments about the meanings of artefacts, with different schools of thought. :D

AW! ♡ He probably knows kids like that already.

Maybe! I'm really not clear how many ordinary Dixingren he knows (outside of the palace) or how much time he spends down there. He seems surprised by the state of things early in canon ("Dixing has become a prison of torment" /quoting from memory). :-/

I figure he knows some things from, like, the times where he has to bring back innocent people (and secretly releases them), but yeah, he probably doesn't know many ordinary people on a personal level.

Ha, but any Dixingren who's been to Haixing by definition isn't completely ordinary. Or, at least, not typical. :D

But yeah, he definitely has some contacts among the populace, like Wu Tian'en for one.

Hah, very true. :D He can maybe learn from the not-very-typical Dixingren about their families and other people they know. :)
