One afternoon, I had a rare holiday to rest at home, and in order to test my newly installed mini stereo, I planned to search for a few old songs on the Internet to listen to. My requirements for the song are that the female voice is sweet, accompanied by strings, and the melody is soothing, which is more suitable for testing the silk diaphragm tweeter on the small speaker.
There are a sea of songs on the Internet, I have nothing to do anyway, just flip through the countless old songs on the music website, suddenly, there is a song that caught my attention, the singer's voice is very unique, very slender and pure voice, the violin in the soundtrack is like crying, the melody is soothing with a trace of sadness, as if telling a touching story, I deliberately looked at the name of the song, this old song is called "Heart Words".
I can hear your melancholy, but I can't tell you that when I speak, the sound will disappear in the air
And the heart is slow, the heart is slowly frozen in silence with each other, and your eyes are red and aggrieved
They asked me to use my hands to express all my emotions, and my hands were raised in the air, but I could not speak
And outside the window is the light March weather, and your sorrow is left in winter
You are still alive with the memories of last year's accident, and I still can't accept it, and I sigh silently
How do I tell you that I have forgiven you and just can't say in person that I still love you
Don't you cry, okay, don't cry anymore, I hug you tightly with both hands
I have never heard this beautiful song, so I gave up the original purpose, and followed the title of the song to find information related to this song, so I knew that the singer of this song was once popular in the Chinese cultural circle, and then retired bravely from the Taiwanese female singer Meng Tingwei, and I also saw a true story that is directly related to this song, the author who created this song at that time, it was after hearing this story that he wrote this moving song.
One night in Taipei, a teenager from a drag racing family drove his girlfriend with a group of people on the highway to pursue the speed of the wind, the weather was not good that night, the rainy road made the wheels slip, and the two had a serious car accident, especially the girl was hit on the right side of the brain, so that the right hand and right foot were paralyzed, and also affected the vocal cord nerve and could not speak.
The girl can't accept this fact at first, and often secretly sad, but then gradually bravely accepts the fact that she can no longer speak, but the boyfriend is always under the pressure of his own psychology, and he can't let go of the mistakes he has made, especially whenever the girlfriend tries to use sign language to express the intention in his heart, the boy sees the girl's hands in the air, and he blames himself and can't help crying, and the girl sees him blaming himself in pain, and has already forgiven him in his heart, but he can't say it, every time he wants to tell him in sign language, he is afraid of causing him to cry again, and only hopes to tell him that he still loves him deeply。
I have to say that I, who also likes to drive motorcycles, read this story while listening to "Heart and Sign Language", and it was easy to resonate. As an "old" rider with many years of driving experience, I know that driving a motorcycle itself is not dangerous, but the driver's wild heart that cannot control itself under a certain emotion is extremely dangerous, and many young riders end up paying a heavy price for it because they can't control the inexplicable restlessness in themselves.
The same is obviously true of the little couple in the story, the girl can't speak anymore after the accident, the boy's remorse, the girl's unbearable, and the pain that the two are entangled but can't express...... As a motorcycle enthusiast, I seem to be able to empathize, and in the sad melody of "Heart and Sign Language", I seem to see a young couple looking at each other, but they can only communicate with each other's hearts with gestures.
I can't tell if I was moved by the story or the song, but I had the idea to change their fate in a short story that I wrote myself. In my story, I will give this boy who made a mistake a chance to make amends, I think men should face responsibility, not escape reality, not avoid the price, and finally complete the redemption of themselves and usher in their new life.
Thus, there is this "Decision with No Regrets". At the end of the story, our protagonist Cheng Xiaonan pays the price for his actions, he redeems himself but transforms into a girl, how will he face his future life? How will he face his lover, relatives and friends? How will he face society with a new identity? Just like I gave the name of Act 16, "Not the End of the End", this story has just begun, what will happen after that? Cheng Xiaonan, good luck......
