Deep Courtyard

In memory of the great works of my idol, the famous author. Rest in peace, Madam… Your great works will always be fragrant throughout time….

——— tribute to Qong Yao by hellowyellow

In the dusk, amidst the crumbling ruins, a blind man stubbornly searches for his wife’s departed soul.

Why did his beloved leave him? What past lies buried in this wasteland?

She steps into the mysterious, deep courtyard, exploring the fragments of time; layer by layer, the past unfolds; memories vividly emerge.

When the truth is revealed, where should she go?

Years of separation, longing to express her yearning,

The past is hard to recall; love and grievances fade with the wind.

Listen to the cuckoo softly cry in the woods,

Better to return, better to return!
