To be a useful good person, one must first be able to fight and stay whole. As long as you are not disappointed with your own life, you will not despair of the world. —Dedicated to those who are "heartbroken because their heart is willing to hurt" at this very moment. As I fell asleep with red eyes from horrific live broadcasts and mourned for the deceased who were strangers yet so familiar, my dearest loved one suddenly passed away. The pain of personal mourning intertwined with collective grief is all because of love. Love reminds us how we once lived and died for it, urging us to live diligently and fight for our lives. In extraordinary times, it is even more important to preserve our daily lives. So, until this very moment, have I healed? Not yet. There's no rush, nor do I have the heart to heal completely. As the lyricist of "Fighting to Stay Whole," I would say I won't be someone who lets go of "her." As the author of this book, "Fighting to Stay Whole," I have recorded firsthand experiences of "as your strength is, so will your days be," and I have also experienced the power of "helplessness" and the truth of love and pain coexisting. If you wish to keep your spirit pure, you must still live well. [Author Biography] Lin Xi Graduated from the Faculty of Arts at the University of Hong Kong, majoring in Translation.
