Kissing the fire

The very recollection of Mr. Xu reminds me to the most of his eyes, glistening with silvery grey, which is not the actual color of those eyes indeed. However, whenever his eyes studded with tremendous wonders come to my sight, his seeming conditions of exploring the unknown of life, unveiling mysteries of the universe convince me that his pair of eyes is touched with a kind of faint silvery gray in the real sense of the word. Meanwhile, his eyes look a little like those of a Greek Statue’s, smooth and endowed with endless affection. That’s exactly what I mean for his silvery grey eyes. Zhi mo seems to be in the state of expressing wonders from hour to hour, towards the worldly happiness and misery, naturally splendid scenery, along with daily trifles. He shows great interest in all of these, even the sorrowful utterance that only fails to make him slip into despondency and weariness. Instead, he would be startling cheerfully for the exposition of evil’s charm.

It was in an evening in Shanghai three years ago. “Kissing the fire”Zhi mo said this piece of words that

could stand for his attitude towards life, as he reached a paper cigarette to a lit one holding between his friend’s fingers to get it ignited. The experience of life, the resemblance to a burning fire, keeps a great number of people at a distance. Shrinking from being involved, they weigh everything with apathy and yield to fling themselves to this raging flame. Ergo, they fall into such a dim life, devoid of any glories. Dozens of years have elapsed while they are figuring and figuring, so as not to suffer the loss, which actually turns out to be a loss. On the contrary, Zhi mo is glad to kiss the rampant fire. The rays of light turn the decayed into the eternal and make the spring flowers spring up over the earth. No wonder he amazed all the time，with his eyes similar to the Greek Statue’s for Greek people lead their life as Zhi mo did, just kissing the fire , singing the praise of life.

This time, he gave the last kiss to the flame in his life on half road rising to heaven.
