Features: "Happiness is not impossible." This is my recent discovery. The moments of this morning have been incredibly sweet. As long as you are here, with you, I forget everything. I don’t want to think about anything, nor do I want anything, because I already have everything. When there is no third person with us, I am happiest. Whether sitting and talking, walking, or shopping on the street—it’s all wonderful. I have been to Changdian before, but how could it compare to the sweetness of today? Love is licorice; in this bitter world, it makes everything more palatable. Mei, you are truly delicate, truly lively, truly like a little dragon. I love your simplicity, not your extravagance. When you wear a blue cotton robe, your expressions are filled with a unique radiance, and my heart fills with indescribable joy. Simplicity is indeed true nobility. When you are neatly dressed, you are naturally beautiful, but that beauty is ordinary, something everyone recognizes. Mei in plain attire, however, has a special charm that I alone appreciate. "To indulge in people leads to moral decline, and to indulge in things leads to loss of purpose"—this saying holds truth. I detest the ordinary, the mundane, the trivial, and the vulgar; I love the expression of individuality.
