25 november I knew Charmaine, I am here. We are here.
(This is the final part about the topic of Monkey King. finished at 10.26)
More than twelve years have passed since then. Those strong emotions I had during my youth are only a distant memeory now. In spite of the similar circumstances between now and then, I could no longer feel the same as I did before. As the saying goes, you can never return to the "unknown" once you know.
Although I still dream of becoming a Xia, I am no longer shocked as deeply as the time when I first read the martial arts novels by Jin Yong. I used to stay up the whole night finishing the .....love story of Yang Guo and Xiao Longnv. I cried at the tragic ending of Xiao Feng killing his lover A Zhu, and breaking their promise about living in Saiwai with cows and lambs. I also kept day-dreaming for a long time in the hope of chancing upon a book with all the secret Kung Fu recipes, and that I would become the most powerful Xia in the world, and that one day I would stand at the peak of Hua Mountain to challenge other Xia, although I knew perfectly well that there is no such a place for a woman.
Until now, I would still become excited when I hear things about magic. My eyes would still glow when my friends talk about extraterrestrial lives, unknown galaxies, or the supernatural world. But such a passion is more of a revival of my childhood infatuation rather than a constantly present interest. I know I have permanently lost that kind of sensitivity and child-like heart since I already KNEW.
But there is another possibility, that the one which shines to the extreme would return to peace, and the wisest would return to innocence. After experiencing all the bitterness and bliss of life, I may understand life in a new dimension and thus achieve another kind of simplicity.
Many thanks to Z~: ) |
