Self-Awareness

Xu Jingzhi ran into a fellow countryman while abroad. The man strolled along a long bridge, holding a bouquet of white roses. Water birds perched behind him. The sun shone brightly, and the sea breeze was still. Xu Jingzhi pulled over and struck up a conversation, asking if the man wanted a ride. The other man shot him a cold look and said, crisp and clear, “Get lost.” Only later did Xu Jingzhi learn that Su Ming had been holding those white roses that day to mourn his deceased boyfriend. By then, Xu Jingzhi had been pursuing Su Ming for a while, sending a bouquet of white roses to his office every day. When Xu Jingzhi learned the truth, he doubled down and bought up every white rose in the city, flooding Su Ming's law office with them. Xu Jingzhi: “I'd like to dedicate ‘Funeral for a Rose’ to you. You're welcome.” * Xu Jingzhi: “Actually, I can talk to the dead. Your ex visited me in a dream last night. He said he's been reincarnated as a condom at a convenience store, and that the best way to honor his memory is for you to put it on and get it on with me.” Su Ming: “I really want to stuff something into this guy's mouth so thoroughly that he can't say a word, only whimper and beg for mercy.” Theme: Learn from each other and make up for each other's shortcomings.
