Split Love

The fog "in the clouds" in the old northern city is always as heavy as lead, turning the glow of Lin's glazed roof and the shadow of Zhou's thorn garden into an indescribable sadness. The encounter between Lin Zhou and Zhou Ning was destined to be a shattering fall from the moment they collided into each other's sight. The diamond ring in Lin Zhou's palm had already been warmed by his body temperature, but the coldness under the surface of the ring could not be softened - it was the last mark left by his mother on him, and it became a curse in his heart. He was too afraid that the person around him would turn around and leave, so he tried his best to pull the person to his side. But the harder he tried, the more blood seeped between his fingers, turning his obsession of "wanting to keep" into a sharp blade that hurt others and himself. The chain around Zhou Ning's neck was embedded in his flesh, it was the cage where his father was crucified. He was trapped in place, and even his breathing was filled with the thorns of thorns. He could only seek life through futile collisions, but every time he was hit, he was covered with injuries, and he fell into deeper darkness. Even his shadows were cold and desperate. They are the only echoes in each other's abyss, but they turn the resonance of "similar people" into a lament for each other. Every time they get close, there is a bone-scratching pain, and every entanglement accelerates their fall. Those hands trying to grab each other eventually become the force that pushes each other to destruction. When the fog lifted, the wind "in the clouds" was smelling of blood. The diamond ring fell into the dust, the chain broke into pieces, one person fell at the end of the fall, and the other was trapped in a desperate situation. This encounter was originally a search for two lonely souls, but in the end it became the superposition of two corpses. Even the fog in the old city was filled with sadness that will never dissipate due to the entanglement of the broken bones. Purpose: The story uses the tragic entanglement of Lin Zhou and Zhou Ning as an incision. Through the process of the two being trapped by the dilemma caused by mental illness, pulling each other in paranoia and pain until they are destroyed, the individual struggles are sublimated into a reflection of the common plight of marginalized mental illness groups - mental illness is different from other diseases. It is invisible and intangible, but it brings real pain and torture to patients. They are like lonely souls ignored by society, trapped in their own spiritual shackles. It is difficult to find understanding and acceptance from the outside world, and they are prone to more intense internal friction due to the attraction of similar people. The final destruction is not only the fate of the individual, but also the painful epitome of the survival predicament and silent torture of the entire group.
