When you can't describe people's fate in words, you might as well believe that it is god's arrangement, and we suffer for it, because it is not false, xiaozi's so-called sentimental, it is the bleeding pain of peeling off the skin to see the wound inside. When people are in pain, it is often not a cry, but a wail.
