Wake up around 2
AM, after dreamless sleep for two hours.
Since Graham slept
only for two and half an hours, I figured that I had slept enough. Though I was
not after the Tooth Fairy, but another demon, myself.
I need to review
what I wrote in Jan-Feb 2018, about the historical wilderness. So far, still
fragments. So far, no further explication of Mu Xin and Chen Ying-Zhen yet.
Meantime, the
situation across the strait changed a lot in the past two months, due to Trump’s
moves. It is more and more like a chess.
So, that brings us
back to Chess Master, again. And Dragon Inn is still a valid metaphor, too.
Mu Xin and Chen
Ying-Zhen represent two possible ways of homecoming exile. Both remained
strangers at home. Both never reached home, in a way of speaking.
I regard myself as
another exile. I regard this writing as an inappropriately personal and
historical statement. But, you see, I have always been incapable of being
correct and appropriate.
