Yesterday my colleague asked me to move in again. However, after learning that I was living
in a barber shop and the barber didn't ask me to pay during the summer holidays
(because he said he couldn't find another tenant like me), she finally gave
up.
I still remember that a musician played and sang Jiang Kui's "An Xiang" for
me. It was the first time I had heard that song played on the guitar.
Some things can only be understood through first-hand experience. When I was
young, I heard someone playing Jiang Kui's melody. I enrolled in a guqin class.
Though unfortunately at that point in my life, I was going through too much stress, so I had to give it up. Perhaps only
people who move frequently can understand Jiang Kui’s wandering life experience and frustrations he laments, during his mid and
later life.
