Luo Li was trapped by painful memories, which led to a period of anxiety and depression. In the end, she pulled herself through and achieved her dream.
Everyone has some degree of psychological trouble or stress, for a shorter or longer time. Some people make it through, some are still struggling, and some leave this world forever. What causes us pain is often not today, but yesterday.
Life is a kind of purgatory, and any words meant to comfort the heart seem pale and powerless. When life has lost its meaning, can death really not be a form of release? If you make it through, there may not be a future full of flowers and sunshine waiting for you, but if you don't, that is the end of your life. The truth is simple, but putting it into practice is so, so hard. In certain moments, what keeps us from answering death's call isn't strength or willpower, but some little thing, person, or memory we can't bear to leave behind.
I wanted to write a novel ten years ago. Ten years later, I can finally stop and write about the thirty years behind me. Let this be a tribute to the past three decades. If someone meant to find it happens to be going through something like this, and even sees the slightest glimmer of light, feels the slightest warmth, or is reminded of the slightest happy memory, I will be overjoyed.
Theme: Painful memories are not something to forget, but to look down on and leave untouched. Think more often of things that make you happy, and create beautiful memories of your own.
