A poem from a friend:
And two other posts:
一切都是天意
不让700万香港人戴口罩;结果14亿人戴上了口罩
不让14亿人过圣诞节;结果14亿人过不了春节
你把武汉封了;结果世界把中国封了
不让那8个人说话;结果全国人都在为那8个人说话
Everything is the will of Heaven
7 million Hong Kongers weren’t allowed to wear breathing masks; as a result, 1.4 billion people put them on
1.4 billion people weren’t allowed to celebrate Christmas; as a result, 1.4 billion people couldn’t celebrate the Spring Festival
You closed Wuhan; as a result the world has closed China
8 people weren’t allowed to speak; as a result the entire country is speaking for them
灯节
非常时期,众生有情,一念相系,念念相护。即便今夜举目四望,不见长安,却仍有人间灯火,照对你我。
所以也盼着,总有一天,我们将同游此街,或西窗烛共剪,任高空的星火,落在榻前。也总有那么一天,我们会提一盏灯,穿过这纷乱的世间,在灯火阑珊处笑着再相见。
Lantern Festival
In extraordinary times, sentient beings care, they share a purpose–to take care of each other. Even if I look around tonight and cannot see my hometown, nevertheless people still carry the lanterns that light our way.
So I look forward to that day, when we will walk these streets together, lovers will be together, meteors fill the sky, falling into our beds. And there will always be a day, when we will raise our lanterns and move through the chaos of the world, meeting again where the lanterns light the darkness.
