White Olive Tree

“Ah Zan, I am Ran Ran.”

No person is an isolated island, except for you.

That day, he looked outside the window and saw a white olive tree in the open field.

Reporter Song is quite different from her appearance.

Reporter Song works very diligently.

Reporter Song is a bit cute.

Today I saw white olive trees with reporter Song. It was very special.

My New Year’s wish is to to marry her.

——Li Zan

Ah Zan, you need to pay attention to your safety.

Ah Zan, I like the scenery that has you in it

Ah Zan, don’t be afraid. I will take you home.

Ah Zan, you are the best person I have ever met.

Ah Zan, you have worked hard.

——Song Ran

“Ah Zan, I want to be a bird in my next life.”

“Then I will be a big tree.”

After witnessing the deepest darkness, the most ferocious evil, and the ugliest horror, I am nonetheless grateful to have seen the light, the kindness, and the most beautiful of souls.

I am nonetheless thankful to have seen that grove of white olive trees with my own eyes.

I knew it was a mirage; the intersection of where the sky and the ground meet in the desert.

And you were always by my side; the brightest light in the dark boundless night.
