In this dazzling world, I walk alone.

   My grandmother used to tell me: To try something, start by reading a book, writing a word, cooking a dish, or loving someone. Even if your handwriting is terrible, your cooking is bland, or you love the wrong person, don't be afraid. Because as human beings, we make countless mistakes, ruin countless meals, and misjudge countless people in our lives. At least you remember them—they are things no one can take away or carry with them, and they won't fade with time. They are vivid and alive in your memory and mind. 


  I know what I want, I'm certain, and I won't explain  further.


  I use my paintbrush to depict a blueprint for myself and others' lives.  


  Action is the framework, perseverance is the structure, confidence is the background, 


  and paint is the ideal. My paintings depict a vast world:


  street scenes, alleyways, bustling traffic, pyramids, and the Louvre


  yet, even the most magnificent wings cannot capture the image of you in my mind.


  No one is perfect, and everyone makes countless mistakes in their life.


  Some, though unintentional, still cause harm. Some mistakes are unforgivable— 


  like falling in love with someone and staying in a city. With a heart full of flickering lights, you only hope


  to change your gaze for one person turning around. A pair of bright, captivating eyes. 


  You misjudged someone; it seems every coincidence carries an unforgivable shadow.

  You put all your effort into cooking a dish, but it still lacks flavor.


  You pour all your hope and sweat into it every day, but you still can't find a solid harbor .


  You spend your days on reports, data, and profit scales, but you still can't reclaim that one important day for you.


  You seem indifferent to the world, but you still remember and prepare gifts for family and friends.


  You receive countless customer complaints every day, but coincidentally, they're all outside your scope of handling.


  You seem to love


  everyone, but you actually only love yourself. All your coincidences are the inevitable result of countless repetitive actions. All


  opportunities are plans laid out for you by others.


  All failures and mistakes are valuable assets in your life.


  Life never gives you anything.


  But I know that the person who gives the most knows what they need and what they don't need.

There's a kind of meeting that feels like a long-awaited encounter.

     When     I first arrived in this city, the weather was a hazy, grayish white. It was already the height of summer, and there was a humid, stifling heat.     At the subway exit, I saw Mo Xiaobei struggling to find me in the crowd. She took my suitcase, then pretended to be incredibly strong, smiling happily at me and revealing her cute little tiger teeth. I followed Mo Xiaobei through several subway stops until we finally arrived at her rented room. The moment I opened the door, it felt like I had entered a disaster zone. Just as I had imagined, her room was a mess. Several pairs of shoes were scattered haphazardly on the floor, and bottles and jars were strewn about on the table, along with leftover food that had been moldy for days. I turned to look at Mo Xiaobei, who scratched her head sheepishly. "I haven't cleaned the house these past few days. Since you're here, could you help me tidy up?" I knew she was always like this, so I shook my head h...

Five-degree slanted characters (Part 2)

    Chi Zhoumu played three games of League of Legends in a row. Whenever he encountered a problem he couldn't figure out, he had to shift his focus to prevent himself from being trapped by his chaotic thoughts. After the three games, Chi Zhoumu stared at the computer for a long time, lost in thought. "No, I have to go out for a walk and relax," Chi Zhoumu thought to himself.      When Chi Zhoumu went out, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. The streetlights emitted a quiet, dim yellow light, and only a few people were running on the playground. The moonlight was faint, casting overlapping shadows, and the road was deserted. He went to the pavilion, sat down on a bench, and lazily admired the reflection of the library lights on the lake. Two or three couples were scattered on the small island in the lake. "It's hard to find such peace and harmony in the bustling city," he thought.      After sitting for about twenty minutes, just as he was ...

Looking up at the starry sky

     The night is deep, and I can't fall asleep alone. I open the window and see the twinkling stars, but are you the brightest one?     I remember the first time I saw you was in my final year of junior high. I stood nervously behind you, watching my classmates register one by one, and my name was left unassigned. Yes. I was timid and cowardly, and because I didn't have the money for tuition, I didn't dare to speak to you. I just stood there, standing there.     Later, you noticed me, smiled slightly, and asked, "Have you registered?" I shook my head. You asked again, "Are you having trouble?" I nodded. "Come with me!" When I took out my blankets from a corner of the school, I saw tears in your eyes; and I couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears. You took the blankets, took my hand, and walked towards the dormitory building.     I've always thought of myself as a stubborn child, someone no one could melt the thick ice in my hea...
