The Gatekeeper of Cheongshin-An

Introduction to the work "The Gatekeeper of Seishin-an" In order to avoid Murong Yan'er, who had been searching for her for three years, Ye Xingchen sneaked into Qingxin Temple under the false pretense of "unfeeling love" and became the "gatekeeper" who guarded the rules and regulations. The abbot's words, "He will definitely not be tempted by a woman's thoughts," allowed him to temporarily escape the mortal world of love and debt in the pure land of Buddhism, but it also trapped him in sweeping the floor, observing the precepts, and burying the past day after day. Murong Yan'er stepped through the mountain gate and said, "Others become monks and cut off their love, but you are afraid of causing trouble when you become a monk." This broke the calm he deliberately maintained. She didn't believe his "see-through" and didn't recognize his "unfeeling". She was willing to stay in the mountain wind outside the nunnery, waiting for the day when he was willing to tell the truth. What she is looking for is not only the person, but also the truth that has been deliberately buried; what he is escaping is not only love, but also the unspeakable past and unfinished responsibilities. Inside the mottled wooden door of Qingxin Temple, there are washed white monk robes, bald brooms, and endless fallen leaves; outside the mountain door, there are obsessions condensed by three years of wind and frost, and sincerity that refuses to be extinguished. He thought that he could cut off the bonds by hiding in Buddhism, but he didn't know that there were some sentiments that were more difficult to keep than the rules and regulations, and more difficult to sweep away than the fallen leaves on the stone steps. This is a light comedy-style practice about escape and pursuit, illusion and truth. There is no bitter sadomasochism, only the repeated jumps between the pure land of Buddhism and the world of mortal love; there is no straightforward emotional catharsis, only laughter and tears hidden in the sounds of sweeping the floor, sighs and unspoken words. He was able to deceive the abbot and the rules and regulations, but he could not deceive himself, let alone Murong Yaner who was standing outside the mountain gate and was sure that he had never seen through it.
