Letter 20 - Water Birds + An Apocalyptic Dream

Water Birds

  I thought you are going to write about the cutest bird -- "the mandarin ducks". They were also very beautiful birds, and in traditional Chinese culture, mandarin ducks are believed to be lifelong couples, unlike other species of ducks. A Chinese proverb for loving couples uses the mandarin ducks as a metaphor"Two mandarin ducks playing in water". 

  Indeed, swans are beautiful birds, I got this from my 8th-grade summer vacation trip with my family in Germany. It's from the"New Swanstone Castle", isn't it adorable? I remember when I was in Germany I didn't felt very well suffering from the menstrual period, and my mom bought it for me, it really did comfort me a lot when I'm holding it. 

(The camera on my new cellphone didn't work out very well either)

An Apocalyptic Dream About The Future

  I've been dreaming some weird dreams recently. And here is one of them. I dreamed that me and my new friend, who I just met in the library in my dream, was walking down the street, and we saw a huge MARMOT digging in the asphalt road, and in a dirty drain with lots of human pollution and plastic bags inside you can clearly see a drowned rabbit which is a little bit expanded and transparent because it was dead for a long time and absorbed a huge amount of water inside it's body. And suddenly the marmot changed it's digging direction, and it stopped in front of a human house and start to jump and try to bump into human's house from the window. My friend said the marmot was really hungry and because of the people's excessive reclamation it can't find a place to live and it had nothing to eat so it wanted to get into people's houses and eat up all the people who destroyed the earth with pollution, and it had red eyes because of dusts of the air pollution keeps running into it's eyes. And we heard of the alarm of the government's broadcaster saying that there will be a 300 meter tidal wave coming into the metropolis, so we decided to find a very high building to hide, but we didn't found one. Then I woke up.
