Impressions
Because I saw one of the sentences somewhere, I read the full text intently. I really like this kind of delicate, gentle, simple and clear language. When you feel down, reading it over and over can always calm people down. This is the power of words. Excerpted from "No Walking Tomorrow" from Mu Xin's collection of essays "Reflections of Colombia".
Excerpt

If you look at it, listen to it, and don't know its name, you will feel a slight embarrassment, an indifferent apology, and a faint embarrassment.
>> The fateful loneliness that cannot be sung or cried is the sense of existence of the tower.
>> I know what life is, but I don’t know what to do all the time, so I let the wind carry the fragrance of flowers on the street, and am used to looking at the tower with vague propositions, under a small umbrella. Loudly sarcastic comments on the battlefield in the rain.
>> For anything, when it loses its first meaning, a second meaning will appear. I often feel that the second meaning is easier for me to approach and suitable for me, just like the words on a tombstone. Leaning on a baby carriage, with three pages of wills pressed on the hot bread, I walked on the beautiful afternoon and seemed to be lost in the second meaning. I had no other pleasures. Whenever I had a little pleasure, sorrow came first, and sorrow was What, if you know what sadness is, you won't be sad anymore - what is life? Life is like this. Some things have not been done yet and must be done...other things have been done but not done well.
