First we were weighed by my friend Kong Bu, which determined the order of our body weights. The heaviest lay down first, the lightest lay down last. The order of the bodies was 3, 2, 2, 2, 1 from the bottom to the top. Our bodies were stacked one meter high and the nameless hill grew one meter higher.
