In the novel, Su Nianqin asked Sang Wuyan why she liked him.
At that time, Sang Wuyan replied mischievously: "Love at first sight."
In Sang Wuyan's mind, what did Su Nianqin look like when he first met her? Was it the face bathed in the morning light by the lake, or the stubborn and arrogant blind man in the narrow elevator car? Sang Wuyan never said it, and Su Nianqin didn't know.
"Love at first sight" is the most mysterious and unpredictable word in the dictionary of love.
So, have you ever experienced love at first sight? And what happened next
I remember one year, when I was buying coffee in the waiting hall of Incheon Airport, I met a young man wearing a peaked cap. His cap was pulled down very low, he was tall, and his legs were straight and slender. I stood next to him waiting to pay, and I only looked back at him once, and I felt that I liked him a little.
In the long terminal, the radio broadcast flight information in different languages intermittently, and the runway was busy with flights from all over the world taking off and landing. But I didn't talk to the man, I just passed him there, got on our own flights, and flew to different places on the earth. Now thinking about it carefully, I don't remember what he looked like at all, but I have always kept the excitement and beauty of that moment in my heart.
Whenever I think of this incident, I feel that Sang Wuyan may be the embodiment of my obsession, an insoluble obsession with beautiful things.
Every time I finish writing a book, I receive many messages from readers, most of whom ask whether these stories are my own experiences, whether Mu Chenghe, Ai Jingchu and Su Nianqin really exist in the world, and whether they have prototypes. Faced with such questions, I always don't know what to do, say yes, or say no
I remember Mr. Mo Yan once said: "A writer may write dozens of books in his lifetime. The combination of these dozens of books is the writer's autobiography, and the combination of these hundreds of characters is the writer's self."
So, which part of these characters is my self? Perhaps because I am so deeply involved in them, I can't answer it.
But I know that Su Nianqin is that beauty.
He, like A Yan in Good Words and Dr. Ai in The World in the Dust, is a beautiful dream that fascinates us. Writing about a blind man has always been my dream. His stubbornness, his sensitivity, his affection, his inferiority, and his pride have all made me, as the author, deeply obsessed. I often think that maybe it is not me who is shaping him, but he already exists in this world, and I am just using him to tell his story.
finally-
After falling in love at first sight with Sang Wuyan, Su Nianqin fell in love with her completely. They met, fell in love, experienced twists and turns, and then returned to peace.
then-
A moment is a lifetime.
