time is with you

Chapter 56 Afterword
Writing is a lonely and happy thing.

Because of working during the day, I usually write at night, turn off the headlights, only turn on a small desk lamp, hide in a small corner of the study, and bury my head in weaving stories under the orange light.

I know, this is my world and theirs.

No one will bother and no one can be bothered.

As a person who once scrapped more than a dozen diaries and wrote only a few diaries, I was also surprised by my patience and persistence.

Is it because I like to write so I persist?Later I found out that it was not, and later I found the answer, because I like to "look".

My original intention of writing the story was just to please myself, but later I met some people who also liked it, and they made an appointment to go through this journey together.

However, one thing will never change, it is still my story.

My first love enlightenment book was Mr. Shen Congwen's "Border Town". Such enlightenment.

I have to say that the semi-tragic love between Nuo Song and Cuicui had a profound impact on me. I once wanted to write a happy ending for them, but then I gave up.

Because that's not them anymore.

But I have always firmly believed that they will achieve unknown consummation in another world.

Fu Shijin and Mei Ran in this book are also from that world.

The theme of the story is "Never forget, always echo", inspired by another romantic story.

A woman danced with a foreign man at a ball and became pregnant after the dance. Later, when the man returned to China, she brought up the child by herself.There is a passage in the story that I still remember vividly: "My mother loves my father. Her love is so strange that it blooms like an epiphyllum and withers in an instant. For the beauty of this moment, she withers her whole life."

At that time, I thought, is there another man in this world who waited for a woman for a lifetime because of a momentary heartbeat?
My mind was full of clamoring, don't let them wait too long, let them reach consummation!

Hence the story you see now.

Mei Ran is a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. The character design comes from an old friend of my grandfather. He is an old Chinese doctor with noble medical ethics. He is now in his seventies.The glorious deeds of the old man can no longer be counted one by one, but his "heart of a doctor" impressed me deeply. In the article, he paid medical expenses for poor patients, performed operations with infection risks, took in stray cats, The plots such as donating to the foundation are taken from him. Unfortunately, my clumsy pen cannot write one of the tens of thousands of things he has done in his life.

In recent years, medical accidents have become more and more intense, and doctors are in danger. On the other hand, traditional Chinese medicine is actually not favored by too many people, and fewer and fewer people learn Chinese medicine.The old man was disappointed but also deeply helpless.Therefore, I also have a little selfishness, hoping to convey some positive energy in this book, so that everyone can learn more about Chinese medicine.

As I write this, the night is already deep.

I'm slowly saying goodbye to them...

Pushing open the window, the cool breeze and the fragrance of tree flowers poured in. There was a heavy rain during the day, but the moonlight tonight was surprisingly good.

I think at this very moment, Fu Shijin must be staying beside his wife and children, coaxing them to sleep softly, and perhaps another piece of gentle moonlight rests on their bedside.

My words are over, but their stories are still going on.

So, I don't say goodbye, and I don't have to say goodbye.

If Missing has a voice, then they must be able to hear it too.

A reader once asked me, would someone really fall in love with someone because of their voice, and keep their love for seven years or even a lifetime for her?
My answer is:
If you didn't have it before, you have it from now on.

It lies in the palm of your hand right now.
