Last Friday night, I pushed for a date, not because of the epidemic, but the finale of the Hong Kong drama. In order to make the audience immerse, in addition to the dialogues of the past few days, the character, the situation and the relationship are all contributed.

Ashin's insistence on "decentralization" has always affected me. This is the principle of narrative practice. I also believe that a hundred flowers bloom, and there is no need to be superior. When Wan Jun asserted to Ashin "Xiao Yi Da Yi": "After decentralization, it will become another center." I couldn't help laughing in front of the TV. Wan Jun finally confessed to himself and Ashin; the reality is that he has heard and seen different circles, and there will always be a unit that has already become the center. Even as Cathy Ho said, he has not done himself well, and only cares about making other platforms disappear. It keeps saying that it is going to be decentralised.

I cried when I saw the scene of Ashin and Meng Ling in the computer room in episode 19. Friends who haven't seen it say I'm exaggerating.

The plot of the night: Ashin disappeared for a few days, and Meng Ling finally found him. Facing the lost Ashin, Meng Ling has been describing how he influenced BornHub's partners and made everyone regain their faith. If it is a TV series, maybe Meng Ling will have a deep hug with Ashin at this time. But it turned out that Meng Ling's words pushed Ashin to face a more painful reality: he couldn't help roaring at Meng Ling that he had bowed his head to reality and was far from his belief. I have always insisted on believing in the kindness and choices of people, but it turns out that in reality it is not as good as the packaging and the number. Ashin finally had to let go of the belief that he held tightly, in exchange for not only disappointment to others, but also to himself. It was a piercing pain. Countless failures and obstacles have not only left us disheartened and devastated, but also made us focus only on ourselves and forget about the people around us. At this time, Meng Ling changed the conversation and invited Ashin instead, and asked the friends in BornHub who were once influenced by Ashin to change him and make Ashin stand up again.

I was about to lose faith in the recent series of unfortunate events. Just in the morning of watching this episode, I received a text message from a friend I met a few years ago because of my research, expressing my gratitude for giving her hope when she was down. This talk has given me the power to move forward. Although we are not in a mentoring relationship, it turned out that in the research interview, the interview method of applying narrative practice brought her recognition and acceptance. The hard work I have put in in the past few years, although not many achievements, has become the direction of her belief in practice. She also knows about the worst things I've had recently, and the voice message at this moment healed me: reminding me that no one is an island.

In fact, from the days of disaster relief work, we have already realized that there is no almighty person in this world. We all have difficulties, we all get frustrated, we don't get everything right, and that's life. I don't know where the courage comes from. Over the years, I have been stubborn and stubborn, doing stupid things that seem crazy in the eyes of most people. Because of this, there are many setbacks. But please don't forget, standing up from every low ebb, if you can achieve the state of "looking back at the place where you have always been desolate, when you go back, there is no wind or rain", it is also an achievement. If he has this ability, he is also grateful for this friend's sincere sharing; even when he is disappointed, he must remember that he once brought a little light to others, and I deserve this light.

In the play, Meng Ling asked Ashin at least three times: "Are you thinking about it?" (What are you thinking?) Every time I hear this sentence, I feel warm. Meng Ling, played by Hanna Chen, is indifferent, but she doesn't lose her concern. The tone and rhythm are just right and not aggressive. Meng Ling has been observing Ashin silently for many years, and has a certain concept of Ashin's dealings with others and character, but when Ashin was distressed, she used curiosity and slowly explored what filled Ashin's depressed chest.

In fact, each of us can be Meng Ling. Please don't be stingy with your words, let the people who once gave you hope know their influence; please use your curiosity to accompany the frustrated people with faith gently and softly.
