WX: The Big inside the Small

When Mr. Yang and Miss Long live inside the tomb, they feel full and contented. Later they go to the outside world, where they are forced to seperate because of people's duplicity and cattiness and so on. They feel empty in the prosperous outside world. That's why Miss Long insists going back to the tomb---That's her home, her root.



When we were still in high school, in our small hometown, we didn’t feel lonely. Some good friends, some good classmates. We laughed, we cried, we rode the bikes together.

However, now we all go to other places, some larger cities, or other countries. BT goes to America, SM stayed in GZ, FP goes to JM, WJ is in FS… Once they coloured my high school life in those years, however, these years, we have been separated in different places and go further and further.

Always the same dream. In the dream, our teachers asked us to go to the playground. They went out together, leaving me alone. Could not find BT, SM, WJ was in the distance, and FP, finally FP was still there… Actually these dreams reflect the reality: They are so far, only FP is still my good friend whom I can talk my recent things.

When I talked this to FP, she cried. She said she is so lonely in JM. BT is lonely too, though I don’t have many chances to see her online, yet I still remember last time when she talked about life in America, her tone is a little sad. SM won’t feel lonely perhaps. Now she lives with her bf, and forgets me lol. And WJ. Who knows how he has been recently.

I think, as we go further and further, experience more and more things, and meet more and more people, we will feel lonelier and lonelier, inside.

In those years, in the small hometown, we felt full, we felt big inside ourselves. However, in these larger cities, we feel so empty.
