far in the snow

Facing the life in the snow all the time, people are longing for the warmth of others

The society gives modern people freedom and space, and it also makes each other farther away, and the road to mutual warmth is longer. A bridge like "relatives" can't enter people's hearts. If they are too close, there is only collision left.

Yusof is more like a horse stall ten years ago. He just arrived, and his clothes and life reveal that he is out of tune with the city.

Compared to ten years ago

He's no longer full of shoe stench, he's got cleaner and a tidy shoe closet

He's no longer littering the floor, he's no longer smoking in his bedroom, he's got a footrest that makes sitting on the sofa more comfortable

He loves photography and makes it his career

Ma Tu has adapted to the urban environment and transformed himself into a person who is out of tune with who he was ten years ago.

But some things don't seem to have changed much

Still being pushed by life, silently loneliness of a person, watching the person who misses passing by, helplessly waiting for her to leave

It seems that as long as we live, we will change and remain the same

We will eventually be pushed far away by life

With loneliness and hard-to-get warmth

    After reading it, it was like a boring punch in my heart-in reality, there are so many unreconcilable contradictions, unsolvable problems, unspeakable feelings. When the last person left, through the smoke left by a cousin, he felt a trace of understanding and reconciliation for him.

    In fact, it’s not bad because it’s too much to pretend to be B and the three monkeys.
