The poem is a way of seeing the world, not just describing it.

你以为你在逃避，却撞见了自己。绕最远的路是回家的捷径。

The world is a fine place and worth the fighting for.

I keep thinking about this river somewhere, with the water moving really fast. And these two people in the water, trying to hold onto each other, holding on as hard as they can, but in the end it’s just too much. The current’s too strong. They’ve got to let go, drift apart.
