Saitama's Self-Recording

In my life, I don't bother others to write. When others write about me, they write about me as "the most talented woman of all time." These five words are too big for me to wear. Some people also wrote that I was "miserable and pitiful." These five words were too small to contain me. In my life, I have been happy, happy, drunk, and laughed. I have cried, been afraid, hated, and lost. If you lose, stand up again. Even if I can't stand up, I have to crawl. If you can't crawl anymore, just write. As he wrote, he stopped. This "Shu Yu's Autobiography" is written by myself. Don't hide, don't hide, don't pretend. Write about what I see, hear, smell, and touch. Write about the emptiness in my heart, and it will ring when the wind blows. "Shuyu" is my nickname, I come from Shuyuquan. The spring water is clear, cool and alive. I hope my words are too. If you read it, you will read about a woman who was drunk in the creek pavilion at dusk and strayed into the depths of the lotus flowers - that is me. I read about a woman who was gambling with her husband over books and spilled tea in the Hall of Return, and laughed so much that the tea fell into her arms - that was me too. I read about a woman who, after her country was ruined and her family was destroyed, walked alone on the road to escape while protecting her inscriptions, stones, calligraphy and paintings - that was me. There is not a day in my life where I pretend to be alive. ——Li Qingzhao
