In front of them stood a vintage DVD player from the last century; behind them glittered Victoria Harbour in golden light. Thinking back to the first time he met Chen Qiang, Lin Churong turned the silver band on his middle finger. His gaze was gentle and refined It had been a damp day during the rainy season. He thought he was kindly taking in a stray puppy. Who could have known that the puppy would grow into a wild dog, becoming the springtime beauty that wouldn’t melt away from his damp dreams? To Chen Qiang, Lin Churong was a blessing that fell from the sky in a torrential downpour. He could play the pretty-faced young lord onstage, or be the tender rose holding a blade on the rooftop. He was the gift Chen Qiang had sought through all the twists and turns of his life. A Bodhisattva, and more than that, his whole world. *“I hope you’ll listen to the old glories in my heart.”, Black House Band, “A Journey Against the Current”* *Reader’s guide: 1.

Tomb keeper/general store owner x guitarist Five years after their breakup, Song Jialin saw Yan Sheng again, on a poster hanging on the wall of a bar. His gaze traveled down from those cold, fierce eyes, passed the small mole on the tip of Yan Sheng’s nose, and finally settled on those slightly pursed lips. With his fine skin and deep-set features, Yan Sheng had always been aloof and cold, a heartless man who cared for no one. But only Song Jialin knew that those cool, thin lips were actually soft and warm to kiss. It was a summer afternoon, and a sudden downpour. The old attic was cramped and stifling, waves of music rolled over one another, gray mist obscured the distant mountains, and greenery began to flow. From the bones that had soaked in the cemetery, a pure white flower bloomed. Song Jialin caressed that lingering warmth. Its name was Yan Sheng. In 2022, a magnitude-six earthquake struck Liannan. The world began to shake. Buildings collapsed in an instant. Incense smoke curled around the Mazu temple, carrying its blessing, while an unanswered call was cut off amid concrete and rubble. Later, a pair of warm hands and a cherished thought crossed the vast distance between north and south to find him. *“, In the fifth spring, when the swallows chirped, I caught a bright summer day.”* Theme: Love can overcome every hardship. Stay true to yourself and embrace life.
