Love at first sight

     When a man falls in love with another man, it's not the kind of homosexuality that's ridiculed, nor is it the profound friendship of Bo Ya and Zhong Ziqi. It stems from the natural bond of blood, requiring no cultivation.

    He's already moved even before he sees him. After meeting him, it's an overwhelming affection. This is a love that needs no pretense; perhaps few feelings in the world are purer or more enduring. Because it's a love that doesn't require reciprocation, it allows the best in human nature to flourish. This love is different from the care of friends, different from the passionate love between men and women. Its unchanging nature makes human society endless. Before it even forms, it's filled with fantasies and dreams. After becoming a fetus, it's filled with anticipation. When it's born, its love deepens and endures because it has a place to rest. When it dances with joy, the taste of life makes its love even stronger. Life
    is a journey; we've experienced joy, we've experienced sorrow, we've reunited, we've parted—everything is on the journey. We have been loved, and we have loved. Perhaps we have forgotten what it feels like to be loved, only remembering the taste of love itself. It's not that we didn't cherish it, but simply that we didn't understand. Only after loving can we truly savor the taste of being loved. His ignorance needs to be nurtured by our knowing love. His nature, extended in our conscious love, is a warmth born from shared experiences regardless of wealth or poverty. Growth is his instinct, but health and happiness are all we can give him. I am on my own journey, while he is at his cradle's resting place. I am tired, so that he won't be tired in the future.
    For this hope, I have walked through loneliness, endured solitude, and finally succumbed to the clamor. A glance of longing in my departing heart. A glance of longing in my unbearable longing for my hometown. A glance of longing in my weary night. How far I am from you, you don't know, but I do! How deep my love for you, you don't know, but I do! You may not know, but at this moment, a grown man is thinking of you with his love, this young, inexperienced man! Let go of the lingering affection in my eyes, and let me, as your father, set an example for you, your future father, and do something...

Even if they are not relatives, they can still be close.

      There is a kind of touching feeling called warmth.     It was a low, dilapidated, and neglected Russian-style house, less than 20 square meters, built in the 1950s. The house was dark and damp, the walls were cracked and loose, and the furnishings were tattered. The only slightly modern element was a black-and-white television with a blurry image, which had been its companion for the rest of its life. Xu Fengying, 92 years old this year, lived in this house, as old as herself. Twenty years ago, her husband passed away, and without children, she struggled to survive on a meager monthly allowance of 300 yuan.     To provide for this lonely elderly woman, Wang Fenglan, a kind neighbor living less than 100 meters away, offered her a helping hand. In the freezing winter, she helped the elderly woman light the stove for warmth; in the rainy summer, she helped repair her house; when her clothes were dirty, she washed them; ...

Bookmarks of Time

  　　Not far from home, there's a small river covered in lush grass. 　　In my childhood, I loved to read by its banks. In the early morning, the mist would bathe the river in a dreamlike glow. I would be bathed in the morning light, splashing through the water, finding a small stone to sit on. Holding a book, I would be completely content. When I grew tired, I would lie down, watching the pale blue morning mist gently kiss the river, listening to the soft, mysterious whispers of nature. I would close my eyes, take a deep breath, and the fragrance of rice, flowers, and the fresh scent of earth would permeate my very being. A gentle breeze would pass by, and a few petals would drift down onto my warm cheek, too delicate to brush away. 　　Suddenly, a boy's figure would come into my view. 　　He always seemed to happen to be there when I was reading. The occasional startled birdsong would tell me he was coming. His footsteps would grow closer, striking a chord in my heart. Strangely, my...

Never try to stop someone who wants to leave.

      You must understand: you can't keep someone who wants to leave, you can't wake someone who's pretending to sleep, and you can't move someone who doesn't love you. If he misses you, he'll contact you; if he wants you, he'll say so; if he cares about you, his true feelings will show; if none of these things happen, then you don't need to bother with him. Actually, you can sense who likes you; you can also sense who you like, whether they love you back, and whether they care. Sometimes, as smart as you are, your foolishness lies in habitually deceiving yourself. You made promises you shouldn't have made, and persisted in things that weren't necessary.     Love can't be forced. Let go of those who can't enter your heart; turn back from worlds you can't enter. If the tea is cold, don't add more water; it won't taste the same. If someone leaves, don't try to keep them; it won't feel the same. If the love is gone, don...
