Lan Li felt that he had a long, long dream, and that dream was so long, traveling through time and space, and also through the universe, wandering wantonly in the long river of time.

He dreamed of Chu Jiashu, he dreamed of Ding Yanan, he dreamed of Lan Li-Hall, he dreamed of "gravity", he dreamed of Heather-Cross, he dreamed of "Beasts......

Rebirth, travel, two lives, changing one's life, reincarnation of fate, the chaos and chaos in the tunnel of time and space burst out with incredible energy, everything was disrupted, mixed, blurred, hazy, as if everything was real, but as if everything was false, as if-

It is as if walking through the vast universe, standing at the height of the Creator, overlooking the birth and transformation of human beings, the birth and death of living beings, and the rise and fall of the earth. He is so small, yet so majestic.

Small and majestic, these are a pair of contradictory antonyms, but they blend together in perfect harmony and open up new horizons.

Lan Li's memory was a little blurry, and he wasn't quite sure which book he had read it from, an ancient Greek philosopher, an ancient Roman astronomer, or an ordinary person, but he had learned of such a point:

The universe is infinite and immense, and it is impossible to reach its limits, and the only thing that can be explored is the human mind.

Those ignorant and ordinary human beings, who firmly imprison their minds in one heaven and earth, and refuse to accept the grandeur of the world and the vastness of the universe, will be destined to become an insignificant speck of dust in the long river of time;

Lan Li can understand the core idea of these words.

Because he himself is personally experiencing that only by witnessing the turbulence of the sea can he understand the vastness of the earth, only by feeling the differences in cultures can he understand the diversity of nations, and only by experiencing the differences of groups can he understand the complexity of the world.

It's like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, it doesn't really go all the way, it's always just "a special disease" in the news or rumors, and you can't feel it, let alone understand it, it's real. This is true for black people, for gay/sexual/sexual relations, for women, and for those with rare diseases.

Prejudice comes from ignorance and from imprisonment.

Lan Li deeply understands this. However, it was not until today, when he truly felt the vastness of the world, the emptiness of the firmament, and the vastness of the universe, that Lan Li completely opened the door of his mind and glimpsed the height of another dimension.

"If you don't go out and see, you'll think this is the whole world. - "Cinema Paradiso".

The dream is too real, the reality is too illusory, and it completely breaks all the barriers of time and space, so that Lan Li is lost in the gap between time and space, and can't find a way back.

Slowly opening his eyes, he didn't know how long he had been unconscious—or rather, how long he had been asleep, or if he had always been awake, and now he was just moving from one dream to another, like the layered dream structure in "Inception", and it was completely impossible to tell.

"Lan Li, you're awake!"

Nathan's chubby face came into view, he still had a piece of cheesecake in his hand, and the room was faintly filled with the aroma of black tea—not the best black tea, just Lipton's black tea bags, the faint aroma was almost negligible.

Nathan's face showed an expression of happiness and joy, and he almost jumped in ecstasy, and his eyes were even more vivid with excitement and bewilderment. If it weren't for the crumbs of cake at the corner of her mouth, maybe Lan Li would have been moved to tears.

"Roy, Lan Li is awake!

Nathan turned his head and shouted in the direction of the door, then turned back again and asked urgently, "Are you hungry? You must be hungry, you've been asleep for so long, there's nothing in your stomach now, those nutrient solutions don't work at all." How's that, what would you like to eat now?"

Involuntarily, the corners of Lan Li's mouth outlined a light arc. Even though my mind was still groggy and I couldn't clear my thoughts, I couldn't even think about it, but I couldn't help but laugh.

First Roy, then Alfonso, then the doctor...... In less than three minutes, the room was packed, but then in less than two minutes, Roy and Nathan began to rush people, and the crowd rushed out of the room, leaving the room in a bustling manner, and only the doctor remained.

Even if he was just lying on the bed in his room, without seeing it with his own eyes, Lan Li could hear the commotion coming from outside the doorway, and in his mind he could paint a picture of the scene in the corridor, as if the entire photography base was agitated, and everyone gathered at the door of his room at the same time. Such a lively onlooker scene is really spectacular.

The doctor did a simple examination and confirmed that Lan Li's physical condition was fine, and suggested that he should start eating some liquid food now, and wait for his stomach to get used to the food a little before starting to eat solid food.

To be honest, Lan Li has a lot of opinions about the definition of "liquid food" in the West, and it seems that he doesn't know whether it is rice cereal or oatmeal porridge, and it is so slimy that it looks like vomit, not to mention swallowing, just stirring it with a spoon, as if there is a golden hoop stick stirring his stomach.

However, if you think about it, the ten years spent in a hospital bed, the liquid food in the ward is also a virtue, and it is difficult to swallow. Lan Li didn't have any more complaints about the food in front of him, but he just ...... Why is he eating liquids? Isn't he in good shape? Isn't there anything wrong with it? Liquids? That's an exaggeration, isn't it?

"If you keep stirring like this, I'm sure it's not going to get any easier to swallow, it's just going to make it worse. A cold voice came from the door of the room, and when he looked up, he saw Rooney Mara in a light yellow sweater, with a faint smile on her face, and her eyes bright and deep, which reminded him of the stars.

Lan Li raised his head and looked at Rooney quietly, without speaking, just took a spoonful of liquid food with a spoon and held it high, and then saw the thick food overflowing and sliding down from the spoon little by little, which was really difficult to approach, let alone stuff into his mouth.

Rooney couldn't help but frown, frowned slightly, shook her head in horror, and then pointed at Lan Li, "You're the one who needs to eat, not me." I suppose your stomach is already protesting, isn't it?" there was a hint of schadenfreude in his voice, but after laughing, the corners of his mouth slowly calmed down, and he didn't speak again.

Lan Li didn't continue to resist, but scooped up the liquid food and put it in his mouth. The taste buds of the tongue seemed to have fallen asleep, and they couldn't taste a trace of taste, which once again awakened the memories in their minds, those memories about Chu Jiashu, such a taste was really too familiar, so it was still not clear to distinguish between dreams and reality, past and present.

Rooney quietly watched Lan Li's movements, even as a bystander, the unknown food made people frown, but as a person concerned, Lan Li seemed to be accustomed to eating, and the unhurried movements produced an illusion in a trance, as if he had long been accustomed to this terrible liquid food.

"So, has Ryan Stone found the purpose of life and the meaning of life?"

Rooney's question, calm and peaceful, her eyes bloomed with concentration and excitement, but it exploded in Lan Li's ears like thunder, and the surging fragments of memories rushed in, filling the entire brain in an instant, and then breaking the balance and breaking the shackles, the chaos between reality and dreams all dissipated, and the sense of reality returned to the body.

Reality. Dreamland. Past. Right now. Chu Jiashu. Blue Rite Hall.

Everything became clear, and his fingertips couldn't help curling up slightly, feeling the warmth in his palm: he used to be Chu Jiashu, he is now Lan Li-Hall, the ward, the universe, that's a dream, the crew, the light box, this is reality. The endless dream just now has finally awakened.

Lan Li, he is Lan Li. As an actor, the Lan Li who chased his artistic dreams, and the Lan Li who embraced freedom, after experiencing despair and difficulties, he was reborn again, just like Ryan Stone broke through the shackles, re-understood the meaning of life, and found the origin of life again.

In the story of "Gravity", Ryan goes through three stages, from fighting, to giving up, and then to fighting.

In the vastness of the universe, desperate loneliness kills all possibilities for survival, Ryan chooses to give up, but at the end of life, he once again finds the starting point of life, from his family, from himself, from dreams, and more from the meaning of life, which makes him break through the shackles and start a desperate escape, just to feel gravity again.

The transition from the second stage to the third stage is extremely complex, extremely profound, and extremely important. It is precisely in order to realize this that Lan Li trapped himself in the "space universe" created by the light box.

After a long period of struggle and pain, Lan Li became Ryan, or more accurately, Ryan became Lan Li, in the two characters, Lan Li really felt the resonance, not just the simple acting of the method, but the imprint from the depths of the soul, breaking the barriers of time and space and illusion, and merging into one.

After calming down, all the experience came to life again, and one couldn't help but savor it, and then, the corners of the mouth rose slightly, and even though the liquid food in the mouth was still sticky and tasteless, the pure joy from the depths of the soul began to erupt.

"Yes, I found it. Lan Li met Rooney's gaze and smiled in affirmation.
