Dreams And Reality

📚🌹🐲 People have a Dream of Red Mansions, but they live in the world of Water Margin; they want to take an oath of the peach garden with sworn brothers in Three Kingdoms, but they always meet monsters in Journey to the West. // 人啊,长了颗红楼梦的心,却生活在水浒的世界,想交些三国里的桃园弟兄,却总遇到些西游记里的妖魔鬼怪。 Rén a, zhǎngle kē hónglóumèng de xīn, què shēnghuó zài […]

Dreams fade silent, no reply, Old friends pass like strangers by. Coming back feels colder than The roads I walked to nowhere’s end. Let love linger till […]
