Origin (5)

The era of feeling good about oneself is over.

Care too much about yourself, and the end result is that even you will loathe yourself from the bottom of your heart.

Lao Xiang knew very well that his era had already ended. Before, he had been unwilling to admit it; now he only wanted to wail.

He was a superfluous man. This shelter from wind and rain that he had built with his own hands, this home he had maintained with such scheming care, this woman he loved.

He could not help a pang of sorrow, and the tears fell.

How he longed to return to the past.
