She thought that following her heart and making her own choices meant she would never regret them. Later, Song Shengsheng began to question whether she had done the right thing.
"Didn't I tell you not to date in high school?"
"Didn't I tell you to study hard?"
"You wouldn't listen back then, so who can you blame now?"
"Song Shengsheng, as in 'a life of nightly revelry,' right?"
"That's her. Stay away from her."
"That's Chen Mu's wife, isn't it? Chen Mu is so unlucky."
Later, Chen Mu became part of Song Shengsheng's world.
"Song Shengsheng, don't be a coward. You don't owe the world anything."
"Song Shengsheng, do what you want, whether it's right or wrong."
"Song Shengsheng, you have to live for yourself."
He called her Song Shengsheng, by her full name, again and again, and every word was etched into her heart.
Much later...
Song Shengsheng's world was submerged in a sea of silence. She was the only 52-hertz whale, drowned beneath an endless sea of blame, turning herself into an isolated island forgotten by the world.
