There is a mythical beast called the dream tapir, which feeds on dreams and obsessions.
Someone told her that once she had collected a thousand dreams and obsessions, he would be with her.
But when she had finally collected them all, she discovered that he was gone forever.
He wanted her to gather people’s obsessions so she could witness the greatest joys and sorrows, the fiercest anger and grief, and all the vicissitudes of life, until at last she understood him as well.
He gave her the name Zhong Jueqian, hoping she would eventually realize that life is simply what it is, and there is no need to cling to anything.
But she could not see through it. She only wanted to look at him once more.
After all those long years, she understood just one thing: all her wandering in this life had been an attempt to draw closer to him, while all her drifting had taken her in the opposite direction.
