Title: One Night, One Day, One Year, One Lifetime Translation of: 一夜一日一年一世 Pinyin: yī yè yī rì yī nián yī shì Author: 扶苏绿 (Fu Sulu) Length: 13 Chapters That night, I listened to the hymns till dawn, not for serenity, but to seek a sliver of your soul; That month, I flipped through all the scriptures, not for enlightenment, but to touch the pages where your fingers once lingered; That year, I knelt on the grounds, my head embracing the dusts, not to pay obeisance to the Gods, but to feel the warmth you left behind; That life, I wandered through ten thousand great mountains, not in search for an afterlife, but to cross paths with you - Gao Fei, do you believe that I lived through this night, this day, this year, and this lifetime, only to hold your hand and accompany you in this journey of life?

Translated from "靛自将息" by Salion Miller, originally published on April 20, 2022. Translator's note: I read Joyce's The Dead a few days ago, which reminds this passage, which is also perfect in describing farewells and pursuits very well. To put this story in simple and easy-to-understand terms, it is essentially a decision about 'to act' or 'not to act.' One can either be content with the status quo, patiently waiting as time etches marks on both body and mind, eventually unable to withstand it and being ground into dust to return to the earth, or one can use their talent and ability to take a gamble, striving to accomplish the unfinished tasks that must be completed. I'd like to use the word I once heard below the original post: "Life is but a fleeting moment, so why not do things that you find meaningful, spending your limited time immersed in endless passion? It's a pity that there are too many attachments in the world. If I had the chance, I would also like to be like Lastwine - seek means in the world, earn a smile from a beloved, gain the satisfaction of my fellows, and find my own carefree joy." Hope you enjoy this passage.
