About Soul and Redemption

Originally read in 2014. From "Let us begin at aardvark and never stop until we reach zymurgy" to "Sometimes when we push away, that is when we most needed to be resisted". If love...then what? To have someone to share that ecstasy found in words. Now I know what awaits me.

From the "Dictionary" and "The Book of the Boat" to this OED editor "Legend", I really have no resistance to this movie. Behind the turmoil of the great era, the dictionaries loaded with national traditions are no longer shelved, penetrating the nostalgia of generations, and spanning historical time and space. Will we still be touched by a piece of sweet fragrance? Of course, what is intensively presented on the screen are those editors who have been forgotten or even unknown. Their bright heads and perseverance, resistance or silence, in today’s context are more like an interpretation of the "old world" civilization. The lyrical elegy that is spread by the fire, the tune is always revolving with the phrase "It lives on". I couldn't help thinking of Lu Lao Shenxian and the "English-Chinese Dictionary", as well as the dictionary editors who raced against time day and night.
