The Embers Are Not Extinguished
Short Fiction星烬未熄
Snow Falls On Old
In the spring of 2021, the unemployed Qi Heyu wrote down random remarks about "The Thorn Birds" on the Xingjian Yishui APP, which was like throwing his thoughts into the deep sea - he would not have thought that thousands of miles away in Dapingkou Village, Yunling Province, Li Wenjun, who was suffering from immune hepatitis, was staring at the faded train tickets in an old book and happened to catch this "star". He was making stewed soup in a deli in Tanghe, Zhongzhou, and she was planting seedlings in the cornfields of Yunling, and the star paper became the only bridge. He wrote that the star anise in the braised sauce needs to be simmered for a long time, and she replied that the sour soup with mujiangzi must wait until it is sour before it becomes fragrant; he sent the "Guidebook for Liver Disease Experts in Zhengchuan City", and she secretly painted the braised sauce packaging full of stars. But an illness made her reluctantly cut off the star bridge - she was afraid that her illness would bring down this boy who had to learn to tie corn stalks for half a day. Until the summer of 2025, Li Wenjun fainted in the rice field while planting rice seedlings, and a diagnosis of liver failure was thrown at everyone. Qi Heyu carried the wrinkled guidebook and found a 30% chance of "tofacitinib" outside the ICU, even if he had to mortgage the deli freezer to raise money for the medicine. In front of the remote consultation screen, she held his hand and said, "I want to try it," like a seedling moving toward the sun. Now that the ginkgo leaves in the ward of Zhengchuan City Hospital are green again, he reads "The Thorn Birds" to her, and she looks forward to helping him hold up his live streaming phone. It's just the unsent time capsule in the letter, still waiting for her to complete the words after "Thank you" - does Sancheng hope to keep her? Can they go back to Dapingkou together to see the late rice filling? How many fragrant tomorrows will be written into the manuscript of "The Embers Are Not Extinguished"?
