A Play in Fragments

Lou Zhe is Cheng Shanshui's most captivating dramatic role.

-

Cheng Shanshui yearns for freedom, yet is trapped in a cage.

But this cage confines not only her, but Lou Zhe as well.

After years of suffering, Lou Zhe crumbles into a handful of ash.

Cheng Shanshui cannot catch her or make her stay.

She never knew that love could hurt so much.

-

The truth is, they both know it perfectly well.

Lou Zhe has long since lost the will to live. Her vitality had already been extinguished, long before Cheng Shanshui appeared.

So Cheng Shanshui will not force Lou Zhe to stay by her side.

But Cheng Shanshui is selfish. At least as her lover, she hopes Lou Zhe will live.

Yet as her lover, she also hopes Lou Zhe can have her wish.

-

"Cheng Shanshui." Lou Zhe turned to look at her. She raised a hand to touch Cheng Shanshui's face, unable to speak for a long time. At last, she closed her eyes and asked in a strained voice, "Have you thought it through?"

I can't bear for you to fall in love with someone who is going to die.

"This is too cruel to you," Lou Zhe said in anguish.

Cheng Shanshui's heart tightened. She pulled Lou Zhe into her arms and said earnestly, "Lou Zhe, I've known since the very first day that you had no will to live."

"I've never regretted falling in love with you."
