"I'm going to become a space person!" you see the city boy happily.
Is this an advantage of Earth people? Or a disadvantage?
"Upon seeing the sleeve, one immediately thinks of white arms, immediately thinks of the whole **, immediately thinks of genitals, immediately thinks of **, immediately thinks of crossbreeding, immediately thinks of illegitimate children……
Rich in association, seeing this, one thinks of that; from this to that, this is the advantage of higher life forms; other lower life forms lack this advantage.
You see on Earth, once there was a little girl selling matches on Christmas night: barefoot in the ice and snow, walking and shouting, "Selling matches—selling matches—" but she shouted all day, and no one bought her a single match.
Hunger, cold, loneliness—no one sympathizes, no one pities.
(This world is unsympathetic to the tears of the weak.)
What a pitiful little girl.
But at this moment, the little girl does not feel hunger, cold, or loneliness.
Because at this moment she is dreaming.
In the dream, she sits by the warm fireplace, her dear grandmother, with rough yet gentle palms, lightly stroking her hair as fine as gold silk.
She happily lights the candles, eating sweet cake in the bright candlelight. This is the wondrous effect of dreams: able to turn cold into warmth, poverty into wealth........
(Imagination can also turn a mortal into a person.)
You see, the author of Dream of the Red Chamber, Cao Xueqin, clearly lives in a thatched hut below the hillside, leading a life of insufficient food and inadequate clothing. Yet he still dreams. In his dream, Cao Xueqin is wonderfully beautiful; in his dream, Cao Xueqin turns 'bitter tears' into fine wine and delicacies........
In the dream, ten million years of time are nothing more than a snap of the fingers.
"Men and apes part, a few stones rubbed, in childhood. In the iron furnace flames flicker, asking when one will know? Only a few thousand cold and hot…… the divine deeds of the Five Emperors and Three Sovereigns, deceiving the ignorant passerby……" All of this happens in dreams.
All good things in the human world can be obtained in dreams. Hamlet, when tormented by fate, says: "……If in a kind of sleep, our heart's anguish and the countless blows that flesh and heir cannot avoid could thus disappear, that would be the outcome we long for……asleep, asleep, perhaps still dreaming……"
This, dreaming, is surely a good thing; otherwise, why would people throughout history and across the world love to dream, to have good dreams?
"A good dream keeps people sleeping," there are good dreams in sleep.
The city boy brought into the Moon Palace by the Moon girl, is having a human dream; can his good dream come true?
