Deng Wei's farewell letter to Tushan Jing.
(Background information: “见字如面” in Chinese means that when you are reading a letter, there is a feeling arises in you, so familiar that it seems that the person who wrote this letter is talking to you face to face. This is why DW chose to write a letter, a romantic way to say goodbye to the character. It's like an old friend who has crossed a parallel universe to talk to you face to face. )
Translation:
Jing,
This is the third summer since we met. I am very happy that we have been accompanying each other and walking side by side for more than a thousand days.
At first, I only knew that you were the handsome and elegant Qingqiu Gongzi (Qingqiu Son of Privilege), walking towards me with a friendly yet blandly smile. I didn't expect that you would leave a strong mark in my world.
I am moved by your yearning for life, happy for your efforts to heal yourself, and often touched and admired your extraordinary wisdom and broad-mindedness. But even such a virtuous person like you was almost knocked down by the "heavy shackles". Even so, you always practice "repaying with songs" by "restraining your love for yourself". I often feel sorry for your situation, but I admire your purity and courage.
In the blink of an eye, it's time to say goodbye. I have thought about how to say goodbye to you countless times, maybe through a grand carnival, maybe through a small gathering with tears... But as I expected, you chose to leave quietly without disturbing others. Well, I have to pack up my mood and move on. I will think of you often, just as I occasionally see those familiar images again, even for a moment, which can make me return to Qingshui Town again in a trance. I think I will always remember and remember all of this.
Jing, thank you for coming! May your happy ending be an ending that will always make you feel satisfied. May every day of your life be as beautiful as you expect.
At the same time, thank you to the LYF family, and thank you for everyone's company and love. The road ahead is long. No matter where you are, I hope you can see me when you look back.
