Similar to the HE version of Brokeback Mountain.

There is a scene in the play, in the grazing place, before leaving the fence after repairing the wall, the little Romanian brother suddenly climbed over the fence and walked up the hillside. What suddenly came into view was an endless plain. The howling mountain wind blew recklessly across the vast land. Even if the dark clouds were pressing on the horizon, the horizon in the distance still tore a bright hole. It opened up, from shock to surprise, the eyes when looking at each other, something began to grow arbitrarily.

The male protagonist has been grazing here for many years, chaos, decadence, alcoholism, one-night stand, and never really took that step. From this moment, everything in the past seems to be moving away, and a new world is coming.

Suddenly I felt, "The Kingdom of God", the translation, is really beautiful.
