Holding hands under the sunset and walking by the mountains and streams have become the fog that gradually dissipates in the early morning.
The breakdown of my marriage left me like a broken bridge hanging on the bank of the river of love.
From the vast rays of sunshine to the heavy ears of grain, nothing can stop me. I just shuttle between night and day, from one place to another, just because my heart has not found its destination.
I have always been a solitary traveler. After the failure of my marriage, I was physically and mentally exhausted, which made me wander alone on the journey of life. Whenever night falls and I look up at the sky illuminated by lights, the loneliest time of the day comes.
I have always wanted to find another lonely traveler to walk with me, to keep my two lonely hearts close and warm, to break willows in the pavilion with you, go boating on the river, listen to the rain in front of the window, and add fragrance to the red sleeves. Watch with you the willows blowing in the spring breeze, the lotuses reflecting in the summer, the chrysanthemums blooming in autumn, and the plum blossoms wrapped in snow in winter.
I have gone through the cycle of four seasons, from the blooming flowers in spring to the snow falling in the sky, from Sichuan to Xinjiang, climbed over mountains and waded through rivers, but I still haven’t found you. The inn where you stay.
The one I love who loves me, where are you? All the water in the world has turned into a fog that fills the sky because of my desire.
Memory is like sharp claws, tearing at my heart violently. Youth is gone, sorrow becomes a wound, it hurts when touched, and bleeds when opened.
I, who was born timid and cowardly, but had a kind heart and never harmed anyone, was trying my best to stick my head out in the shadow of time and walk towards the sunshine. There are still mountains and sky in my heart.
I have seen the shadow of Naihe Bridge and Po Meng beside the bridge from a distance. I know that the final destination of the soul is heaven.
Time has taught me that my lifelong wish is to wait for you! If you are the destiny of my life, let’s walk this last journey together!
I'm waiting for you at Broken Bridge!
