I know I was never very good at figuring out symbolism in my high school and college literature assignments so this is really way beyond me. I challenge all the members of my book club to see if you can figure out some of it. Most Chinese stories and legends have a lot of symbolism and really tragic endings. I haven’t heard any ancient Chinese legends where the boy and girl live happily ever after in the here and now. Some of them do get together in the afterlife but I don’t think that counts.
I am thinking this one is not one of their tragic love stories it might be about the cliff directly in front of me as I am taking this picture. Is it telling me to think about jumping?
