With orchid

Shenzhen, China

It is near at dusk, I stop living in this small city. Tranquility that Yu Hui of the setting sun lets the small city seem exceptional at this moment. When go out of the station, fall and fall to pass by some crowds rarely and rarely on the street, it should be quitting time, they walk in the direction of the family with the stride that is releived most. What the step without any occasion can be compared favourably with and gone home is so calm. Without worry, has not born, yes, just the end of the stride is full of warm soul harbours.
It walks among the crowds to carry the simple travelling bag, a person who walk looking travel-stained is more or less nondescript at this moment such as me. To look up and down slightly all around, I choose one some dim street walk. Road surface has some moist blue and green slabstones rising and falling, both sides of the street stand side by side the simple and unsophisticated local-style dwelling houses.
The small city is called that in the ancient town, though we have enough reasons to describe her long history and continuous and remote national culture conditions and customs from all sorts of materials, but I think, it is very unreasonable that emphasizing her simply is ancient. History of thousands of years is continuous in a lot and ancient breath everywhere, criticize of a text slightly, every one makes yardstick federation of time that persons is filled with deep respect burst out accidentally.
I think, in the face of that countless " ancient town " ,What we need is a certain more rational cultural intension. In other words, the one that treats continuous time is cool and calm, that kind of mourning in silence and listening while facing numerous historical intension. It is all right to want to read and fill long history, but don't send out the sound, the applause not needed resounding across the skies, can need listening to, coming from remote soft,effeminate music of ancestor quiet praise with one voice is in need either, come to understand that long footprint diligently.
An old man over seventy years of age sits at the gate of shop serenely. I inquire him the direction of another historic site by buying a bottle of water ways, the old man has referred to with old hand hands, by the dialect simple saying something that I can not understand very much. I think I know how to go.

See some things in an Internet cafe, by the way have a chat about a few words with the friend in the distant place simply, saw suddenly " Happy birthday " Congratulatory words,this last I very the unexpected a bit. Consider carefully thinly, today is my birthday. Really very skillful, I select to set out on a journey on the birthday inadvertently, perhaps, this indicates the life state that I have been already destined too, just reveal in an obvious way now.
A song has sounded in the ear, it is Yanni's " with orchid ". Hear this section of melodies are in background music of a certain program in Phoenix Satellite TV for the first time.
"Cool and lonely world like an orchid, it is full of cold gaudy air in this world to float. A share blows against one's face freshly, seems to surmount a lot of dust and manic. Unless it is the lovely it is and not sad, passing such,no trace. The sky has no trace, but the bird has already flown over. With orchid, feel sad on a that time such as eyes, it has for a moment to be thorough to realize perhaps.
Elegant song, temperament like being natural and smooth light, clean plenty of, linger on remote illusion, the tranquility for a long time that look for wishing eagerly.
Unless it totally is the getting dark come down, it walk in street,a little cool wind stroke the face but. With orchid, pass on a satisfied birthday.
