Reading Bigen｜#Accompany with you• Don’t go down the road, find your own Nina

■ Preface

While browsing the Patreon page of Cat Eclipse , I was accidentally attracted by a title titled " You'll take the high road and I'll take the low road " published on November 2, 2021 (written in August 29, 2018).

Because I couldn't understand the meaning of English sentences directly, it aroused my curiosity. I clicked further and found that it was all Cantonese. I didn’t give up. Later, I finally found a Microsoft language conversion and translation tool, which can also read aloud⇩!

So read (listen to) the 4,500-word long text and write down your response.

■ Accompany you

Dear Cat Eclipse:

I was thinking about it, trying to figure out what Sergeant Morrison meant by "high road" and "low load". Later, the protagonist told the lieutenant, but the lieutenant didn't say anything; when he saw his family, he didn't say anything... It wasn't until the Lomond Lake that I learned the origin from the lyrics of the ballad hummed by the old lady... It really stinks the reader's (me) appetite, but it's worth it. It is such a moving allusion, like the starry sky in Scotland.

 O ye'll tak' the high road, and I'll tak' the low road,
And I'll be in Scotland a'fore ye,
But me and my true love will never meet again,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.

You'll go up, I'll go down,
I will arrive in Scotland before you,
But my love and I will never see each other again,
On the shores of the most beautiful Loch Lomond.

"What's so special about us, asking other soldiers who have their own homes to fight and die for us?"

Sometimes, I can't help but feel the same way as the protagonist⇧.

Although it is not as good as going to the front line, why are we so indignant and hatred for "other countries' affairs"? It may be based on the same love for " democracy, freedom, and the rule of law"!

I am fortunate that the land where I live is now able to breathe free air as usual, and I have to live in the military (compulsory service), or related documents during the martial law period. It's a movie, a drama, and a game. Try to figure out the suffocating feeling of "unfreedom" and try to empathize with it. Don't forget that all this is so hard to come by.

I hope that there will be no more sibling(s) to go "down the road" and everything will be fine.

＊

Recently I also read the novel " The Gentleman of Moscow ", in the story there is a pair of friends: the Count and Nina .

For the Earl, life in the hotel (within the high walls) is getting narrower and narrower. It was Nina who let him see that this hotel (the walls) can be pushed outwards, there are doors behind the doors, and there are rooms outside the rooms. , rethinking, changing perspective.

Though the movement is restricted, the mind is not imprisoned.

May the sibling(s) also find this "Nina" and accompany you.
