About the Prozac Balcony. Several friends, who had started imagining since their student days, one day wished to have their own space: like a bar, or a restaurant, or a café. However, due to various realistic considerations, they eventually worked in different fields, but could still regularly gather in their free time, have a drink, and relieve their worries, sharing coffee and pastries, listening to music, smoking, and telling each other about their life stories and exchanging ideas about their dreams on a small balcony. Everything began here, which is also the origin of the name "Prozac Balcony." As time passed, the circle of friends gradually expanded, and the number of visitors increased. The space of the house finally felt cramped and narrow, and the gatherings could never be fully enjoyable. The friends also had to face important choices in their lives. They then remembered the unfinished dream they once had as teenagers. Thus, with cooperation and mutual support, this group of friends, with their unique talents, spent nearly two years, and finally started operating the first Prozac Balcony on Anhe Road. However, this city was even more sorrowful than they had imagined: not all souls are noble and mature enough to understand others' dreams, and they were also hindered by various physical, chemical, and moral legal restrictions, which made the free materials in that space extremely limited, preventing the creation of more ways to relieve sadness, to heal each soul, which had different shapes, yet shared the same sense of confusion and wandering. Therefore, just before the one-year anniversary of the opening, the friends reluctantly reached a consensus, and in a heroic gesture, permanently closed the first Prozac Balcony on Anhe Road a day before the anniversary. Under the condition that no one decided to give up their dreams, the crisis would only mean an opportunity. This sudden change quickly made them recall a place that had once amazed them, but due to a series of misfortunes, they had missed it. After the decision was finally made, the friends concentrated their efforts and quickly completed the second Prozac Balcony located on Fuxing South Road. The process was like the boat in The Great Gatsby, written by Fitzgerald, a boat that was destined to keep returning to the past with the tides, yet struggling against the current, full of pain yet also rich in flavor. Regardless, this place was indeed much closer to the original dream: like a bar, like a restaurant, like a café. At the same time, people, matters, and things were still as warm and real as before: the red British telephone booth, the white bright small sign, the wooden balcony always filled with smoke. Each of the symbolic elements of the Prozac Balcony could continue to appear in the memories of everyone, and remain more firmly open for all the people who would come, whether lonely or not.
