696 chapters, a lonely and beautiful blade of grass

Last time, the Classic of Documents said: at the foot of Great Wilderness Mountain's No Opportunity Cliff, the Heaven-mending Stone abandoned by Nuwa, one day, while playing by the Spirit River at the base of Great Wilderness Mountain, now among the scattered stones by the Spirit River there is a story of a blade of grass. Now I continue to tell the story below——

This blade of grass grows very specially. Its stem is purplish-red, and its roots are firmly embedded in the cracks of the stones.

This is a blade of grass with extraordinary vitality, a lonely and beautiful blade of grass. All the blades of grass in the world have companions, but this blade of grass grows alone, solitary, in the stone cracks.

This blade of grass is not only uniquely grown, but also lonely and desolate. Although she possesses extraordinary vitality and is beautiful.

By the Spirit River, the lonely and beautiful blade of grass saw a Heaven-mending Stone walking toward it; its leaves fluttered back and forth in the stirring of the gentle breeze, as if welcoming the stone that had come from afar.

But she felt a little afraid, a little fearful, because she did not yet know this stranger stone walking toward her.

Although she grew from the stone cracks, although there were many stones around her, she did not love those nearby stones, feeling nothing for them. The reason is simple: lack of affinity.

Upon seeing this beautiful and lonely blade of grass, the Heaven-mending Stone looked adorable and felt pity for her. This is because, having not obtained its wish to mend the heavens, it frequently adds a segment of sorrow. Reader, I misspoke. I should say: having not obtained its wish to mend the heavens, it frequently adds a segment of love; saying it this way is accurate.

In this world, anything can happen. Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio tells of a fox and a human loving each other; the well-known Legend of the White Snake, where the White Snake loves Xu Xian, loving to the point of life and death; Journey to the West tells of monsters loving humans. My story tells of a stone and a blade of grass loving each other; this love moves heaven and earth.

This is nonsense, fabrication, bragging.

Reader understands: among literary classics ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, aside from the Bible and the Four Books and Five Classics, which work is not nonsense, fabrication, or bragging? This depends on whether you can brag or not, whether you can criticize or not.

Therefore, I especially remind the reader: do not mistake the people and events in literary works as real, including TV dramas. When everyone is idle and bored, they watch for fun. This is called 'When the false is taken as true, the true becomes false; where there is no action, there is still no existence.'

The affairs of this world, for now, are unrelated to us; set them aside and still look at how this stone and this blade of grass are falling in love. Perhaps there is something laughable or worthwhile to be found.

By the Spirit River, the lonely and beautiful blade of grass saw a stone in the distance slowly moving toward it. The blade of grass first felt fear, but then saw that the stone moving toward it had no intention to harm it. Listening to Stone Brother say, he too is lonely. Exceptionally talented, abandoned, or neglected, scorned—this truly is a case of mutual sympathy, hearts reflecting each other.

By the Spirit River, the lonely and beautiful blade of grass, hearing the senior brother's narration, felt immense joy. Because the lonely and beautiful blade of grass growing in the cracks of scattered stones had never before heard anyone confide these heartfelt words to her; of course, the lonely and beautiful blade of grass had never received such pitying and cherishing gaze from anyone.

Reader, hear me repeat: this is affinity. This is 'those with affinity meet across a thousand miles; those without affinity do not recognize each other even face to face.' Otherwise, where would there be stories in the world? Where would life have suspense? Where would life have ups and downs?

To know how this beautiful and lonely blade of grass and the lonely, neglected Heaven-mending Stone fall in love, please listen to the following explanation——
