Serendipity
February 23rd, 2006 by jadeite
I picked up a novel from MPH yesterday because I wanted some good literature to read. I’ve got a thing for Asian authors because I really enjoy the flavor they inject into their books, especially Indian authors. So I got this book called ‘The Magpie Bridge’ by Liu Hong merely on a whim, because the blurb on the back sounded interesting.
Then I open the book, and the first thing I see is a Chinese quote. Translated, it says:
“If the affections are mutual and everlasting, does it matter that they cannot be together in everyday life?”
Mmm.
