Knight of the Blue Lagoon (The Past of Tao v)

~

The Chinese New Year is coming soon. In ancient times, celebrating the New Year was like passing a test. Zhou Meichen needed to think carefully about the coming year. Zhou Meichen adjusted her vacation to the New Year. She wanted to go out for a walk, change the environment, go to a strange place, and find some freedom.

There are not many places to go now, and there are only a few places in Southeast Asia that you can still visit. Zhou Meichen first came to the art museum, which was renovated from the city government building and the Supreme Court. It displays Southeast Asian art since the 19th century. Although the artistic vision is refreshing, the exhibits still feel that they lack some boldness and heritage. Coming to the Esplanade Concert Hall, the building is inspired by the compound eyes of insects. It looks like two durians and has a unique shape. It does provide a good place for the artists who come to perform. However, it feels a bit small because they are insects after all. Arriving at the Comprehensive Entertainment City at night, Mr. Li vowed that as long as he was alive, he would never open a casino. In the end, he compromised for the sake of tourism and the economy, which fully illustrates the importance of money, both to individuals and to a country. A small country has repeatedly tried to survive. There is nothing wrong with impermanence. It just requires foreigners to get tickets.

The red color in the casino can stimulate people, and the layout is like a maze. After entering, you can only indulge. There is no distinction between day and night here, and time stops here. Zhou Meichen was actually not interested in this kind of place. She sat in front of the slot machine and played aimlessly. She vaguely felt a figure behind her, and when she turned around, a strange encounter in a foreign land suddenly disrupted her original state of mind.

"Why are you here?"

"Come find a little peace, what about you?"

"Come out for some air."Zhou Meichen.

It is precisely because of depression that people come here to seek release. It is precisely because of this release that life becomes more colorful.

"You know I'm here?"Zhou Meichen

"have no idea."Tao Zhi.

The two smiled slightly. The meeting made them get to know each other again. They couldn't help but think of the first time they met. Different from that time, this time they knew the existence of each other in the world. The meeting made them know each other deeper. The most real expressions on their faces Smile says it all

"Do you like these?"Zhou Meichen

"I don’t like it, but I come here almost every year."

Zhou Meichen doesn't know why Dao Zhi chose this place. Maybe like herself, she is confused about relationships and has doubts about work, or maybe she is a little confused about the cognitive world. She comes here hoping to gain some peace in the unfamiliarity. , can feel some confidence from the strict legal system, and can gain a firmer understanding at this intersection.

They played in the casino for a while, enjoying themselves but not attached, and Daozhi won some money

43. People are far away in my heart

Walking on the street at noon the next day, Zhou Meichen looked around. There is indeed the beauty of gardens. People who live near the equator will never realize the richness of the solar terms. Only summer gardens are beautiful, but also incomplete. Such gardens can only be seen occasionally. One moment is enough.

When they came to the beach at dusk, the sunset shone on their faces. Only thoughtful women are truly beautiful. They rolled up their trouser legs and walked on the beach. They both liked the sea and often dreamed of the sea, especially the beach at dusk, which looked like a flower. Gorgeous roses, the glow is the blooming petals, everything is soaked in fragrance. Countless footprints were left on the beach, only the sea remembers it. Daozhi walked on the beach, the sea water washed the footprints, Zhou Meichen looked at Daozhi, and borrowed the light of dusk in the morning.

In the past two days, Daozhi and Zhou Meichen traveled all over the city. Things in museums often have a tragic past. The so-called monuments are just things from the late 19th century. A country without history does not need to be burdened by history, and there is nothing in the past worth remembering. People without a past can only look to the future, but it is still somewhat sad.

Looking in front of me, Tao Zhi is talking about the past here. The history of modern Asia is a history of invasion by the West.

"Did you enjoy your stay?"Zhou Meichen

"It’s not that I like it, it’s just that the road here is worth walking and has a certain reference value for us. This place is too small for a man. It will make the people living here become small. People still live. It's better in a big place, where lions can run in the vast grasslands. What about you, do you like it?"Daozhi

"Generally speaking, the scenery here is limited. I still like places with mountains where I can see richer natural scenery."

On the day of departure, Zhou Meichen asked:

"Will you go back with me tomorrow?"

"Aren't you afraid of causing any trouble together?"Daozhi

"There will definitely be trouble, but it doesn't matter."Zhou Meichen seemed to be deciding something.

"I'll come back in two days."Daozhi

"Do you plan to stay here?"

"I want to go to Macau."

After dusk, morning will come.
