Weakness in Moving Forward by Wang Ran When verse evades my grasp, I grasp for it once more, In moments where progress halts, I press on as before. Eyes heavy, feet unsure, Yet grateful to persist, To gather fragments of life's lore, In joy or sorrow's midst. What flavour does it bear, This life of ours, we ask?

Cold winds rush through my mind, Leaving thoughts behind. All empty like a void. Dead silence, all my senses are shutting down This moment of ‘lightness’ Enlightens me! + + + +

The writer searched the shelf and showed him an original diary manuscript that had been kept for a long long time, and after a while, both of us said, why not have it toured on-screen? Okay, let's go. We shall see whether the good old days and the present have anything in common? And sure, with the words "All rights reserved"! ...... ...... A new outlook Last year was quickly gone in the blink of an eye. It's a bit sad to say. Before you know it, a new year has already came into the world. How long has it been since I left my M place? Besides from my family, what happened to my frien...
