The door was closed. There was finality about its look, as if it would never be opened again. Ping stood there, staring at the door for a long time. She could hardly move, as though cement had solidified in every one of her joints. Her ears kept ringing with five words, and they had become louder and louder:

“YOU GOT THE WRONG PERSON!”

The whole world seemed to disappear in these five words. Nothing did matter any more. Subconsciously, her hands stretched into her pocket and reached a picture. She took it out. A young beautiful woman holding a baby… Read the rest

Marry for money, or starve for love. If there is no between, what would be your choice? I sincerely believe that the great majority of people would choose the first, even though they might not admit it.

Welcome to the material world, where our happiness is usually attached to the fame and the fortune we could get. No one believe in happily-together-forever-fairylike ending, and no one like to make sacrifice to the others. Instead, we rush in and out of the relationships or marriages for personal gains. And our greed needs for money could never been satisfied. Marriage, once… Read the rest

My dearest dear,

I’m writing to tender my resignation to you. I do it with a heavy heart. I appreciate the opportunity of being your wife, and with the greatest reluctance, I decided to leave the place where I have lived for the last seven years. Serve as the wife to the man I loved and still love was a dream job. I shared joys and tears, praised and humored with you, and I dedicated my body and soul to create a world of ourselves. My faith in our home was the source of inspiration for me.

I… Read the rest

“Hello?" A familiar voice said over the phone.

“Yes, it’s me. Quite a long time." I replied lightly with complete dispassion.

His voice didn’t change much over these years, although the magic has gone.

“So…how are you?" he was saying.

I heard myself replaying, “Fine, just the same, not change much." Suddenly I got a feeling like we were reciting lines from a play. The 10-year-gap is at its widest. We used to be such close, now we were nothing but two strangers.

There was a noticeable pause. Then he gave out a brisk laugh. It’s… Read the rest

I’m so cold, numbed of all the feelings. Great, don’t feel a thing. Even the fear, the pain and all the other ill feelings are frozen. I’m just crouching at the corner of my cave, trying to get some warmth. But there is no warmth, only cold, deadly cold. The cave, once filled with light and noise in good days, now is dark and empty. I’m crouching here, waiting, waiting for what? I really don’t know. The time is passing by, but my life keeps stagnant.

It’s quite late but my partner hasn’t shown up yet. He took away… Read the rest

His hello was the end of her endings
Her laugh was their first step down the aisle
His hand would be hers to hold forever
His forever was as simple as her smile
He said she was what was missing
She said instantly she knew
She was a question to be answered
And his answer was " I Do."
——- Sex and City

When I was married, I was still a little girl inside, a girl who believed every single word in the fairy tales, a girl who is waiting for… Read the rest

My dearest dear:

Last night I was packing, sorting out things that belong to us. I heard you beat so erratically and I knew what you were trying to say. You were screaming: Stay, Stay." But dear, no, not this time. I had followed you a thousand times. I always followed you, remember? Even you took me to the places I should not be, the places that were scaring, and exciting. And the most dangerous thing is that they were luring. I still followed you, without a second thought, to the place even I knew it could never lead to… Read the rest

Once upon a time, there was a little quiet girl. She was pretty and smart and cherished by her mother. If she were not so sensitive, if she were not born with a withdrawn nature, and if her parents were not so unhappy to be together and left her a miserable childhood, perhaps she could grow up to be a confidant happy woman and everything would be quiet different. But life allows no ifs.
   Dated back to a night many years ago when she was inexperienced but brave, there was a terrible fight between her parents. She still… Read the rest
