He is a wayward child, a fairy tale poet in the castle and a clumsy lover. He looks for light with black eyes, and he stubbornly weaves his dreams in the shaking world.
A soul that is too fragile is too beautiful and lonely. Gu Cheng is not from this world, he should belong to himself, so he fulfilled himself, but the ending was too tragic, too rude and too capricious.
He is a wayward child, so he lives in his own beautiful world forever. The world of talented poets should be pure that outsiders can't understand, so pain and loneliness are doomed.
He said "I am a wayward child", he said "Close your eyes, the world has nothing to do with me", and he said "The night gave me a pair of black eyes" ... These words cannot be forgotten.
"Black" is the result of killing all the light, and the night becomes the tomb of light. "Black eyes" are warriors who betray in the dark, and its "black" is given by the night. He didn't give up "light", but he longed for it persistently.
The man looking for light first turned his eyes to himself. He doesn't want to break through the smog outside, just want to follow his soul into his palace and keep a pure land of the soul.
In the hearts of a thousand people, there are a thousand people who care about this city. He is real in his works, in his life, in his lover's eyes and in his lover's heart, and every one is illusory. Because it is fragile, it is stubborn and willful. The poet stubbornly guards the pure world in his heart and preserves the original beauty in his own way.
Throughout the ages, many poets have chosen to face death, but no one has blood on his hands. Gu Cheng cut his wife with an axe and hanged himself under a tree. At that moment, his soul must be shaking. He ended a legend with his frankness and even shook his poetry. Tracing back to the essence, he is not a madman who kills, but a child who is flustered and does something wrong.
Life is half reality and half ideal. Everyone will face this kind of pull and contradiction. The only difference is that Gu Cheng chose to base himself on the ideal and end the reality. We choose to base ourselves on reality and look forward to our ideals.
