"Where are the people who accompanied
back then? The ones I once loved, what do they look like now? Were the dreams of the past fulfilled? Or are they only fit for commoration now? Let ti dry everything up, yet I can no longer find my true self..."
The song continued, and everyone hoped it would never end, as their tears hadn’t stopped flowing.
Once, in our pride, we all carried lofty ideals, rushing through unfamiliar cities just to chase the truest dreams deep in our hearts.
Once, no matter how hard life was, we believed that as long as we worked hard, success was within reach.
Once, we naively thought that even a tiny room could nurture the most beautiful love.
But now? Where have the companions gone? Where have the loved ones gone? And where have the dreams of the past gone?
Now, the fast pace of society leaves us no ti to reflect on our inner selves. Gradually, to survive in this harsh world, we’ve grown a thick shell over our hearts.
Slowly, we’ve lost the ability to cry, as fewer things can break through that shell and truly touch us.
We can still rember secretly shedding tears while watching *Titanic* in school, not daring to let classmates notice. We also rember the resolute determination to join the military after being stirred by stories of flood relief efforts.
"Looking up at the vast galaxy, the stars that once accompanied —do you still rember the stories from here? Life, like an unfeeling carving knife, has changed our appearance. Must we wither before we bloom? I once had dreams..."
In the final chorus, Jiang Siming sang with extraordinary passion. The veins on his neck stood out, imbuing the song with powerful emotional resonance and a call to action that gripped everyone.
Jiang Siming’s song didn’t just hurt; it struck deep, like a sharp file carving into everyone’s heart.
When careers remain lackluster and love becos elusive, can we still say we’re unafraid of failure in youth?
One day, we’ll realize that we’ve long since grown old.
Many like to say, "I’m getting old," even at just twenty or thirty. Because what ages is not the body, but the heart.
We’re no longer reckless, no longer carefree, no longer open-hearted, no longer smiling.
Instead, we carry the weight of life’s pressures, the fear of marriage, the disappointnt in the future, and the hesitation in the face of difficulties.
We’re sensitive, stubborn, and act tough to the end. We hurt others easily and are just as easily hurt in return.
We chase fleeting joys and revel in the beauty of solitude.
We believe we’re unique, convinced the world will change because of us.
And yet, we awaken to the reality that we’re no longer young, and our future may no longer hold endless possibilities.
The once vibrant scenes of life have beco faded mories... Without realizing it, we’ve drifted far from youth.
Everything we once had has been shattered by reality. All that’s left is silent lantation, unable to leave anything behind.
