Book Excerpt: "Landscape, Water and Shadow" - Ye Si

I've been a little busy and lazy lately, and I haven't been able to help them record the books I read. The typhoon signal No. 8 was hoisted last night, and people saw different scenery. The changes of the times over the past few decades have also changed the landscape of Hong Kong. It would be better to excerpt the text of Ye Si's "Landscape, Water and Shadow" during the period when the saddle hit Hong Kong.

"The old railway station seems to be too familiar, and there is no special feeling. The new railway station seems to be unfamiliar and unaccustomed, and it is separated from us by a certain distance. The old things are familiar in time; the new ones Things, without the baptism of time, are so jerky.”

"You gain, you lose, you feel, you forget. You don't bathe in the same river twice. There's no point in comparing. Swim the same place, and each time you discover a different thing, a different feeling."

"The past is blurry, and the future has become uncertain. It seems to be floating in many overlapping time and space."

"We have seen the lush greenery turn into a vast mountain, and we have seen it eroded one by one in the long days."

"Between the known and the unknown, those times in life when everything in life has not been fixed are the most beautiful, but also the most anxious. Just like the gestation period of literature, the youth of people, the buds of plants. But everyone is ups and downs. It is difficult to jump out to appreciate the ups and downs of beauty and the unknown preciousness, only after a period of time can you appreciate and miss it. It’s like this fog story.”
