That Man Shouldn’t Live Alone

Seeing the recent lines that brought tears to my eyes—"I leave him with the hope of life; I want to sink to the bottom of the lake with you"—made me very emotional.

I saw it on Xinlei a long time ago, and I was deeply moved by the unspoken, subtle emotions conveyed on the back of the last photo. Love is a hand that wants to touch but then pulls back.

I love this kind of story so much, thank you so much! I hope you keep writing!

As many people say, love doesn't mean everything. It's not good for a person to live alone, but often, you aren't necessarily Eve made from the rib of the person you love, able to accompany them for life. In the end, one day you will be able to gently place them in your heart, thus commemorating those lost youthful days.

The last time I saw it was several years ago, on Xinlei magazine. It wasn't called that; I think it was called "Unwilling to Live Alone in Peace," but I preferred the title "It's Not Good for a Person to Live Alone."

You were born before I was born, and I was born after you had grown old. You regret that I was born too late, and I regret that you were born too early. You were born before I was born, and I was born after you had grown old. I regret that we were not born at the same time, so that I could be with you every day. I was born before you were born, and you were born after I had grown old.

The words "lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth" and "pure white" evoke a sense of exquisite thought. How many corners have you explored?

TO Pure White: Indeed, both versions exist. Haha, the one Nonghei is referring to is probably a different one, perhaps from a later era. I think I saw it in a middle school political textbook. We even asked the teacher why they used "Nihao" instead of "Nanhao," and the teacher said: "Nihao" expresses friendliness... Hehe... Is the right pinky really useless?

Buenos Aires. My favorite city.

So touching, it has a very Hong Kong vibe.
