Features: Choices in life, the good, the happy, the big-tailed wolf, the unsatisfactory, the lack of sex, the irrational, the malicious, many kinds of experiences we often go through. It's hard to say whether you design life or are led by life. We laugh now and cry then, life is filled with many indescribable emotions. Later, days became jokes. I thought living this way would be easier, I thought it would boost my immunity, I thought it would bring me closer to you. I often get out of bed and habitually pull open the curtains. Suddenly, sunlight shines into my eyes, my pupils naturally contract, and then I look outside. It's the same spring, the same brightness. On this side of the glass, I can't tell the difference between this moment and any other. But, it's really all different now. The air is filled with the smell of 84 disinfectant, it's irritating, but everyone thinks it's better than the taste of street pancakes. I rarely go out. Even when I have to leave the building, I hang two activated carbon masks on my ears. From spring to summer, my forehead is always sweating profusely. No sex, no kissing, no intimacy, we only send text messages. Yes, in this spring. Everything is different now because of "SARS," we all became lonely. We sing "I'm afraid I won't make it in time, I want to infect you, until I hear the trace of dry cough in your throat, until the high fever doesn't subside, until I can't breathe, let's, isolate together" and fall into a drowsy sleep. We have never been this suspicious of our own kind before, especially when they sneeze or cough dryly. So, we lock ourselves at home, simply turn on the computer, and browse the traces of our past lives stored in memory. Those jokes vividly appear, like a sudden, icy hand poking your collar, making you jump. Those are scattered writings. When put together, they become the life we have all experienced. Touching them, you feel sticky, like a customer service guide in a high-end hotel. Even if you open it, you might still feel nauseous. Life has no choice, the good, the happy, the big-tailed wolf, the unsatisfactory, the lack of sex, the irrational, the malicious, many kinds of experiences we often go through. It's hard to say whether you design life or are led by life. We laugh now and cry then, life is filled with many indescribable emotions. Later, days became jokes, because this way, at least we can become lighter, at least we can entertain the past.
