Alienation and closeness, rejection and acceptance, pursuit and loss, forgetting and remembering, escaping from homeland and finding freedom

Xu Zai said to the world: "I heard from others that there is a kind of bird in this world that has no legs. He can only fly and fly all the time. When he is tired from flying, he sleeps in the wind.

The fate of being abandoned made Xu Zai lose the feet that brought him home, and he went around and returned to the starting point. , The dark and dark endless wandering, endlessly.

Whether it's revenge or recovery, no matter how far he escapes, Xu Zai's destiny will always be that child waiting for love, hovering high in the sky and never flying past

Days of Being Wild quotes

  • Su Lizhen: I always thought one minute flies by. But sometimes it really lingers on. Once, a person pointed at his watch and said to me, that because of that minute, he'd always remember me. It was so charming listening to that. But now I look at my watch and tell myself that I have to forget this man starting this very minute.

  • Yuddy: I've heard that there's a kind of bird without legs that can only fly and fly, and sleep in the wind when it is tired. The bird only lands once in its life... that's when it dies.
