Heavenly Dream

In this miasma night in the southern country, mosquitoes are still "buzzing" frequently.

Moths are also coming in from time to time. Even the hornet's nest was knotted to the tin canopy outside the window. Panicked, but fortunately, the wasp dispersed. No wonder Lingnan became a place of exile and escape after the Tang Dynasty. In terms of natural territoriality, this place is indeed not suitable for human survival. It is not surprising that "SARS" originated here. Although people here can eat "civet cats" and "drunken shrimps", raw and half-baked ones, they can satisfy their appetite, but in the end, the complexion is more yellow and the complexion less rosy. Sleep well, tasteless, groggy. On the contrary, if you have been in the North for more than ten days, you are extremely tired, drinking a bowl of "wonton soup", you can sleep soundly. The reason is nothing more than the unclear four seasons here.

On the surface, it is evergreen all year round, with the fragrance of birds and flowers, but the miasma generated in the heat and humidity cannot dissolve in the cold, and it will slowly erode the healthy body invisibly. From the "age spots" on the faces of the old people here, the miasma can be seen. That is, why are you still staying here... Looking north, looking around at a loss. You think, one day, you will leave here. To the north, there is always the thousands of weather and infinite charm of the north. It always makes you more comfortable and at ease.

I remembered what the rebel youth (James Dean) in the movie "Eden of Eden" by Elijah Kazan said to his dad: "You said let us choose. But once we choose, we will always encounter problems. "This work, based on John Steinbeck's novel, has influenced countless young people around the world since it was produced in 1955. That kind of meticulous exploration of the complex feelings between father and son, although it ended in tragedy, it deeply shocked your soul.

The film has a slow rhythm, full of pain and sincerity. Regrettably, James Dean, who became a classic "sentimental" image, died unfortunately after starring in another movie "The Lost of Youth" that year. "Tian Lun Dream", although it is a dream, it is a spring and heaven for those looking forward to it.

One night, go to the mall to pick up the water bottle. The waitress said: "Who else has boiled water to drink these days?"

You smile indifferently. For many years, I have been accustomed to boiling water. Why not ask someone to send bottled water. You think, you can save the waiting and troubles of the water deliverer. Also, for bottled water, you are always subconsciously not at ease with it. From small to large, boiled water was used to make tea, to cleanse the intestines and stomach, and to absorb nutrients. I just hope that the tap water is still clean and sterile. I only wish that after moisturizing, I can still feel refreshed. As for having a good night's sleep in the "Heavenly Dream", I am afraid it will be very difficult, unless there is a heavy snowfall here. Unless this is not south of Lingnan, unless what you are talking about is not idiotic dreams.

East of Eden quotes

  • [Abra pleads with Adam to reconcile with his son]

    Abra: Mr. Trask, it's awful not to be loved. It's the worst thing in the world. Don't ask me - even if you could - how I know that. I just know it. It makes you mean, and violent, and cruel. And that's the way Cal has always felt, Mr. Trask. All his life! Maybe you didn't mean it that way - but it's true. You never gave him your love. You never asked for his. You never asked him for one thing.

  • Abra: But you must give him some sign, Mr. Trask, some sign that you love him... or he'll never be a man. All his life he'll feel guilty and alone unless you release him.
