Here in this uncertain world, money, property, the permanent things—they’re all unreliable. The only thing she could rely on was the breath in her lungs, and this person who lay sleeping beside her. Suddenly, she crawled over to him, hugging him through his quilt. He reached out from the bedding and grasped her hand. They looked and saw each other, saw each other entirely. It was a mere moment of deep understanding, but it was enough to keep them happy together for a decade or so.

From Love in a Fallen City by Eileen Chang. Translated by Karen S. Kingsbury, published by NYRB Classics, devoured by me.

Notes for my life
It took me good 25 years to articulate my feelings and put them into words. And now that I am able to express myself, I’m overwhelmed. I have been fascinated by the power of words and impressed by anything that is well written, quirky, obscure and that offers a new perspective on life. Fiction is my only escape, it allows me to cut off myself from the world and yet be a part of it. Just the way no two individuals can be alike, I feel no two stories are similar. Although love, life, death and emotions have been the universal theme of fiction, still every story written or told is different. Human Nature remains a mystery to me, every moment something new is added to it. I am not an artist, but I am a student of Art and I like creating things.
