It was once a busy transportation hub, but now it is silent. Located on the edge of the city, surrounded by buildings eroded by time and deserted streets. As time passed, this gas station gradually lost its former glory and was replaced by new transportation routes and modern facilities. The sign has faded, Esso's logo is faintly visible, the oil pump is corroded, the fuel tank is empty, and the once busy refueling machine is now just a pile of cold metal. Despite being abandoned, this gas station still carries memories and stories from the past. But for those who have worked or cheered here before, it is the end of an era, a witness to the changes of an era.

It is one of the abandoned educational facilities after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. These schools are usually located in remote areas, and due to insufficient government funding, they cannot receive effective maintenance and support, resulting in a gradual loss of population and abandonment of the schools. From these abandoned schools, one can see the classrooms, buildings, and various teaching equipment of the past, but there is no trace of students and teachers anymore. These relics have become witnesses to history, reflecting a part of the education system during the Soviet era, as well as the social and cultural landscape of that time. Not only is it a review of past educational models, but it also triggers people's thinking on education, social change, and the protection of historical heritage.
