感动

A few years ago, a story that was discovered on the Internet by Chee Boon touched me to tears. It made me want to find out whether the story was real and whether or not the characters really went through it all.

That story was “Dolce Vita”.

Then a few days back upon reading the synopsis of 93.3 DJ Dennis Chew’s play titled “第一次的亲密接触”, I came to realise that “Dolce Vita” was actually based on this story written by a Taiwanese. Of course, I went to read the original version.

I was touched to tears all over again, this time by a more complete version. Most importantly, I found the answer to the question I have always wanted the answer to. “第一次的亲密接触” was based on a real story, sadly. How else could the writer describe everything in such detail?

如果我還有一天壽命，那天我要做你女友。
我還有一天的命嗎？..沒有。
所以，很可惜。我今生仍然不是你的女友。

如果我有翅膀，我要從天堂飛下來看你。
我有翅膀嗎？..沒有。
所以，很遺憾。我從此無法再看到你。

如果把整個浴缸的水倒出，也澆不熄我對你愛情的火燄。
整個浴缸的水全部倒得出嗎？..可以。
所以，是的。我愛你…

I guess this would be the defining paragraph of the story. If you are interested in the original story in chinese as well, here’s the link. If you have someone dear, go give him or her a hug after reading it. I’m quite sure you will feel like doing that.
