Chapter 2: Life Goes On
Translated from Chinese by Claude. Read the original
After today it’s December. 2010 is gone in the blink of an eye, and I’m working hard through its last month.
Yesterday Mom and I went to see a movie, Resident Evil. Dad had to work overtime, so he couldn’t come. It was in the 3D theater, and there were only 8 people. So empty. Yesterday was a Monday, so no wonder: everyone’s at work, and I’m the only one with time on my hands.
After the movie we went to the supermarket downstairs, and I bought two packs of modeling clay at Carrefour. I’m making a promo animation. I hadn’t touched modeling clay in forever. The last time I remember playing with it was back in ‘03. Sometimes people just overlook the things they used to play with, even though they’re so easy to get.
Parasyte is a manga with a lot of philosophy in it, but it’s a bit gross. Sometimes when you think about it at night, it really gives you the shivers.
A few lines from it that I really like
“From a pig’s point of view, you’re the monsters that eat pigs”
“What’s our common goal, yours and mine? To survive”
“We are tough, and we are fragile”
“Searching for the start, searching for the end, thinking as I go, and never stopping”
The rest you’ll have to figure out for yourself
Life goes on. What if one day it stops? I think that day will be when I leave this world. But I’ll start living again in another one.
PS: Here’s the Zhigao baby clay I bought yesterday. Let me show it off…
Below is the model I made. It’s half finished: a model of a small room.
