The Snow Canon, the Mist Canon: Chronicle of the Twins 雪典,雾典,双生纪
“The first snow between heaven and earth fell atop Kunlun Mountain. Back then, snow did not yet know what melting was, and mist did not know what it meant to disperse. They thought everything in the world would last forever.” “Later, the snow melted and became water. The mist dispersed and became nothing. Only then did they understand: what was eternal was not themselves, but the person who paused in the snow, and the eyes that glanced back through the mist.”
