"Heading south, a beautiful story is about to begin."
As we ventured towards the southern lands, we encountered picturesque landscapes and vibrant cultures. Each new experience became a cherished memory in this enchanting journey. Throughout our adventure, we discovered breathtaking natural beauty and forged lasting friendships, creating a story that will forever remain etched in our hearts.
南下，一个美好的故事即将开始。
In a wildly absurd dream, I met her. She found me in a way I never saw comin'. "How'd you find me?" I asked. "Read your novel," she answered, brief and enigmatic, just like her sudden appearance.
"You know," I said, humbly shaking my head, "I'm not one for chasin' the spotlight. My words are like fossils yet to be dug up, unpublished, just buried in the corners of niche platforms."
But she told me, it was in the lonely corners that she stumbled upon my words, read 'em, and then fell for 'em. I reckon that's what you'd call fate. She didn't care 'bout how well-known I was, just whether them words could strike a chord in her heart.
In that dream, she and I were just two shootin' stars in the river of life, brushing past to leave a trail of sparks. Our kiss, it came without a prelude, passionate and profound, not mindin' our strangeness, just blazin' away on its own.
At some event, her fingernail accidentally scratched her palm. I tried to comfort her in a flap, but my clumsiness only sparked her anger. However, just when I thought it was all over, her anger dissipated like clouds, and she smiled at me again.
We lined up at the hospital for a more thorough check-up, to see if there'd be a scar left behind. In that quiet corridor, I hugged her from behind, hands gently resting on her neck. And in that moment, she turned around, her eyes filled with resolve and trust: "I know my mum, my uncle, and heaps of others will tell me to think it over. But I believe, no matter what, you'll end up bein' my undefeated lover."
我们甚至还不那么熟悉，只是过客中的擦肩。
“Her big advice was to not to be too consumed with romantic love. Friendships and work, she said, brought her the most happiness.
I couldn’t agree more. I mean, that’s the thing that fucks us up. This idea of a soul mate, of someone who will come to complete us and save us from having to take care of ourselves.
But at the end of the day, it’s not the love of one other person that matters, it’s the love of life.“
最重要的不是对另一个人的爱，而是对生活的爱。
I once suffered from a serious illness. On our way back, she wept. We had a lovely afternoon, but her tears were sudden. Perhaps we had shared a moment that stirred her deepest emotions. She confided in me that a few years ago, she merely liked me, until that unexpected moment when I fell ill. Slowly but surely, her feelings for me had blossomed into a deep and tender love. Maybe our understanding of love differed, or maybe this was her way of bidding farewell. Nonetheless, we spent a wonderful day together, and as the old adage goes, "I dreamt many dreams, but still slept well."
In this world, truly interesting people are already scarce, and naturally, the fascinating stories they create are few and far between. Forced to live under the constant pressure and restlessness of modern life, their situation becomes even more pitiable and ultimately tragic. It's a sad reflection of the times we live in. So, please don't become like them.

In 2016, at the Shenzhen University Architecture Design Institute, this should be the desk of a soon-to-be graduating student. That year, I took many photos of the workstations of design industry practitioners, which was quite an intriguing endeavor.
“Don't have too many illusions about your significant other; perhaps "illusion" isn't quite the right word. Also, at the appropriate time, make sure you know your place, even though you may think your relationship is special. But there's nothing wrong with all of the above, as it reflects your determination to make an effort. It's important to acknowledge that such things require trial and error.
Now that you know this, proceed in the safest way possible. You can still give it your all, even though "trial and error" might not be the most fitting term - what you actually want to express is that you can wholeheartedly love, strive, and work hard. The reason you can still do this is because you believe in passionately and sincerely pursuing your goals, and you trust that each time you will do better than before. However, when the day comes that your goal is no longer simply to live with a particular person, then refrain from such reckless actions.”
In this moment, you may feel that you've discovered the limits of your conversation with this person. But don't worry, this doesn't mean you can't have more fun interactions or form a deeper connection. It just means that they might not be exactly what you were expecting. If you decide to explore a relationship with them on different or deeper levels, just keep in mind that there could be some things that you may never quite see eye to eye on. Embrace the journey, and remember that you can handle whatever comes your way. After all, personal growth often comes from these experiences.
