There are no four seasons there, only the maddening heat, and a rain that must visit every day in the rainy season, no matter whether there is a roof or shade, it can make people collapse in an instant;

however, in such a place, the most It is suitable for secret unbridled growth: from the hot and mottled stone gap, to the wetness of the parasitic moss wrapped around it; from the roots to the top of the palace, until there is no firm hard object to support its toughness. The secret in the tree hole is the seed of all these growths.

So, no longer need to pay attention to the fear of being seen in the world, she curled up on his bed like a cat, the sound of mahjong hitting the table outside the door was like a spell, the more you tried to unbutton the cheongsam, the tighter the hoop, the more they could All he can do is turn the timidity on the edge of the Thunder Pond into quietly walking out of room 2046.

Once the secrets are put into the tree holes, no one can decipher them anymore. They just inherit the tones of the language and the strokes of the words, but they do not need the grammatical arrangement and the echoes of the beginning and the end. Most of the time they are sound, broken, and impossible. Patchwork restored; occasionally heard, not even screaming and howling, mixed with cicadas or rain, and instantly forgotten.

Perhaps there are countless such unclaimed stories hidden in Angkor's smile.

No matter how painful his heart was, on his face it was just a little bit of tremor slightly larger than the normal breathing range, like the moment when he stepped on a step to lose weight, like being pierced by an ice pick into his fiery beating heart.

"Have you called me?" The man who is always hesitant between offense and defense, the bravest only has this cautious confession; there is only 0.05 seconds of anxiety on her face, just like the time spent with him The proportion of the long life is similar, and then the sentence is forgotten, and it ends in mutual deception.

Because of this, no matter how fast he stepped on the train, he couldn't lead to 2046, because the luggage on his back, the luggage full of memories, hesitating for the ticket again and again, and the cycle of slow half-beat, all too much. too heavy.

Yes, this is the symbol in Wong Kar Wai's films, Zhou Muyun and Gong Er, they are not acting, they are one kaleidoscope after another, so that we can glimpse our own kaleidoscope.

  • Chow Mo-wan: In the old days, if someone had a secret they didn't want to share... you know what they did?

    Ah Ping: Have no idea.

    Chow Mo-wan: They went up a mountain, found a tree, carved a hole in it, and whispered the secret into the hole. Then they covered it with mud. And leave the secret there forever.
