Synopsis
Highway text. Free, loose, optimistic and cheerful, but suffering from hereditary ALS, the writer Gong × longed for freedom to the point of becoming a crazy psychotic painter. Unlucky, Zhu Liangjian was sentenced to death as soon as he was born, but fortunately, he received a reprieve from death. Knowing that he would not live long, he had nothing to worry about. I wish Liangyan loves writing and finds freedom in the horizontal and vertical strokes of words. By chance, Zhu Liangqian's car broke down while he was traveling, and he was rescued by the hero Qi Mengliang. Qi Mengmeng suddenly fell ill, and Zhu Liangjian took care of Qi Mengliang. On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qi Mengliang turned to the bad stage. Due to his illness, the two of them only stayed in Yading, Daocheng, the "last Shangri-La" for one day. "I heard from others that Daocheng Yading is very beautiful. I wanted to come and see it. It is indeed true." Through this time together, the two formed an irreplaceable friendship. "I admire you very much. Can I invite you to travel around the world with me?" "It's an honor." On the last night before leaving, the hotel organized a bonfire party. The boy who was forced to play the piano ten years ago plays again ten years later for freedom. "Still be free and sing my song forever. Traveling all over—thousands of miles— Forgive me for being unruly, indulgent and loving freedom in this life, but I am also afraid that one day I will fall. Anyone can abandon their ideals. ——" During the conversation, we learned that Qi Mengliang had been detained in a mental hospital for three years and was still under the control of his parents. "There are too many interests involved, and I don't like it." "I like freedom." "Then, do you want to elope with me?" "Let's go, I want to be free." In Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, the two got on a plane bound for Japan. "I have a hereditary mental illness. During the years I was locked up in a mental hospital, I was awake for a few days. In my hallucinations, I saw the snow in the Alps, climbed Mount Everest, went to the sky in Bolivia, and even saw the Aurora." "I was born to be free." The two traveled from Mount Fuji in Japan to Vladivostok, and from Moscow to Murmansk, the only ice-free port in the Arctic Circle. "Geography books say that Murmansk is the only ice-free port in the Arctic Circle. The sun sinks below the horizon, followed by nearly 40 days of polar night." "The brilliant Northern Lights are a scene that can soothe the mood during the long polar night. When the polar night ends, local celebrations will be organized, and people will go to the local mountaintops to welcome the first ray of sunshine after the polar night." "Then -" Qi Mengliang looked at the Northern Lights, the only thing that could relieve his mood, and then turned to look at Zhu Liangjian, "Can I invite you to enjoy the summer sun together?" "With pleasure." During the long night, Qi Mengliang, who was in a state of impatience, had been chatting about freedom with Zhu Liangjian. "Freedom is an elusive thing. Since ancient times, many people have been chasing it, but few have succeeded." "The price of freedom is too high and many people cannot afford it." The first ray of sunshine in the polar night rose, and countless people cheered for it. The world and the earth learned the same lesson. Zhu Liangwen knelt down on one knee and took out a ring, "I dare not say that I will love you forever, and I don't have those oaths of love. This ring is not a shackle. I only want you to be free." After welcoming the first ray of sunshine after the polar night, we set off for Sweden, then all the way from Norway to Victoria, to Sri Lanka, and all the way to Bolivia to visit the "land of the sky", and then got married in the Maldives. "The realm of the sky witnesses our happiness, and the sky also congratulates us." "The Island of the Sun and the Island of the Full Moon bear witness to our love, and the stars in the universe also bear witness to our eternity." "It's not necessarily a bad thing to have concerns." The two arrived in Antarctica. "I want to go to Vatnajökull in Iceland, and your destination is the Canadian Rockies." "There will always be a brief separation in life, but it doesn't matter, we will always want to see each other again." "Being restrained in the name of love is never acceptable, I just want you to be free." "We should never stop pursuing freedom because of each other." "After all these years, it should be just a mere display of good times and beautiful scenery. Even if there are thousands of customs, who can tell me? But in the future, we will continue our relationship." During the trip, Zhu Liang's condition became more and more serious. By the time he arrived in Antarctica, he had respiratory failure and could not live for a few days. However, he never confessed to Qi Mengliang and separated from him in the name of "freedom." On the last night, the two of them watched the Aurora. "Zhu Liangjian, I still can't tell the difference between reality and fantasy. In fact, it doesn't matter anymore." Qi Mengliang lay on the snow, staring at the sky in a daze, his eyes particularly bright. "Just having you here is enough." "They said I was a lunatic, a complete lunatic. Others said that love is the medicine that soothes lunatics." "Whether it is reality or fantasy, you are my good medicine. This period of time is the most unforgettable in my life. Thank you and I wish you good luck." "From beginning to end, I have been walking alone on a long road. Once upon a time, I thought I would keep walking like this. Until I met you, Qi Mengliang. From then on, you are my freedom." "The final destination of all people is death. There is nothing to be afraid of." "You were by my side in the last moments of my life, and that was enough." "I can die on the way to a distant place, but I can never die in fear of the distant place." The next day, Qi Mengliang boarded a plane bound for Iceland, saying goodbye and never seeing each other again. Intention: freedom.
