Archangel Gabriel (列) set up a cardboard version of himself holding an engineer's scale (例) in his hands in the space station's bathroom. Next to the cardboard Gabriel is a speech bubble saying "you must be THIS tall to enter heaven". Gabriel set it up as an example (例) so that the people can check for themselves using the scale whether they are tall enough or not. Rosa Luxemburg (亻) and Li Qingzhao (li) frequently use this example to check if they are tall enough yet.
