His request was for a house awaiting death, for the moment when life is extinguished, not the sunset, but the desire to see the sunrise.他的要求是为了房子等待死亡的时候,生活是熄灭,没有夕阳,而是欲望去看日出。We always remember the depth of those words that came from a single person.我们永远记住那些字的深度,它来自一个人。

“In a dream Soushu somehow became a butterfly.“在梦中,Soushu不知怎的变成了一只蝴蝶。He was too content to be a butterfly floating in a comfort manner forgetting that he was Soushu.他太内容是一只蝴蝶漂浮在一个舒适的方式,他是Soushu遗忘。Before long he awoke up himself and he knows that he is without doubt Soushu.不久,他醒了自己,他知道他是毫无疑问Soushu。Well, what is this?哦,这是什么?Did Shoshu become a butterfly, or a butterfly become Shusho in his dream?并Shoshu变成蝴蝶,或是一只蝴蝶成为Shusho在他的梦想?There must be a distinction.必须有区别。This must be a materialization (all everything is in a state of flux.)”这一定是一种物质化(所有的一切都在一个稳定状态。”
