Waiting Until Thirty-five Years Old (我等你到三十五岁)

Summary:

The diary of Nan Kang of his relationship with his ex-boyfriend, expressing that he was willing to wait for him until 35 years old.

From morning to night, from the moment of love, the ending should have been predicted. The world praises love, but never admits love. Why is it wrong? Nan Kang, 35 years old is too long, and the waters in Xiangjiang is too cold. For fear that you are alone in the distant heavens, and he, with a woman and maybe a child, in the paradise at home. Nan Kang, do you regret waiting?

(It is said that this is a real story of a real person, Nan Kang, who has written other stories in his life. He had a loving boyfriend who, unable to withstand pressure from family and society, married a woman. In between March 9th and March 12th in 2008, Nan Kang jumped into the waters of Xiangjiang and ended his life. People found his body in the river on March 27th, after 15 long days drifting in the cold water. In 2016, readers commemorated his would-be 35th birthday.)

Some time ago, when I went to the furniture shop, I saw a set of brown sofas. They were big and comfortable and could almost suck half of a person inside. The price tag was over 4,000. I said to my husband, “I’m buying them for you, as a wedding gift.” He looked at me in astonishment and said, “Nonsense.” And then went to observe a little coffee table with interest.

Such an obvious cover-up that even I could see, but he probably had nothing else to do and nothing to say other than that. I looked at his back and smiled.

Actually, he didn’t know that I wasn’t gambling or mocking him intentionally. I really wanted to buy something for him.
