------------------ -----------------
Bai is the beautiful child who is as white as a half moon cake.
Bai is a white butterfly lying beside the reeds with its wings folded.
White is the ten thousand snowflakes falling from the sky silently, without sadness or joy.
White is time passing in the pale light.
White is all the memories I have experienced in my life.
White is a beautiful thing that is fragile, easily destroyed, and disappears in an instant.
Bai is a person who was once dead or destroyed, and who persevered in restoring himself from the blackened wreckage, and is therefore still a brand new person.
White is the white vapor exhaled from the nasal cavity, which is the evidence of our existence; it is our life, a miracle that spreads in the void in a white and clear form.
White is the white spark burning in the darkness, and it represents the eternal faith.
I believe that if you believe that you will not be destroyed, you will not be destroyed.
