Original text:

I never refuse to throw away a piece of paper-I always keep it, fold it into a boat and throw it into the sea.

Some were blown into the window of the ship by the wind, and some were wet by the waves and stuck to the bow. I still keep folding them up every day, hoping that one of them can only flow where I want it to go.

Mom, if you see a white boat in your dream, don't be surprised that it dreams for no reason.

This is your beloved daughter with tears in her eyes. Wanshui Qian Shan, please let it go home with her love and sorrow!
