The Letters from Room C47

中文原版/Original Chinese version:C47房间未发出的信


Dear Meifeng,
               Hello!
               How long has it been since we last saw each other? A few months? A few years? I honestly don’t know anymore. You know, just now it felt like only yesterday we were together on that majestic mountain, gazing off into the rest of the world, but unable to see that which was obscured by the thick sea of fog. Why does it also feel like you are right by my side on that tranquil beach as we watched the sun set? I clearly can remember us there, hands interlocked, sitting on that sun-warmed rock. What a good feeling! Do you still remember that?
               I still don’t understand-what happened to us? Why are things the way they are now? Everything that happened in those few days was my fault, I admit this! But I think you’re being rather cold-hearted, to vanish without a trace. I can’t even find you to apologize…
               It looks like some wounds run too deep to ever heal. You must still hate me. Why else would you be constantly ignoring me? Meifeng, I’m begging you, please write back! Prove that you still remember me! I don’t mind if you curse at me, I don’t mind if you let loose! It would be so much better than this cold silence you give me.
               Right, there’s one last thing I should tell you: a few days ago, some strange creatures tied me up, and locked me in a very strange tower, which they call “Swan Lake”. Don’t you think that’s a really strange name? Although, these creatures seem to have at least allowed me one courtesy-they allowed me to write to my friends, family, and other relations to tell them where I am. Besides you, I have no one else to write to… so I wrote this letter to you.
               I guess that’s all. I hope everything is well with you.
