Like a Dream, Not a Dream (3)
"Look at the writing on that note... what is it? It's weird, it looks like a square. ..." As quickly as he could, Alexandre pulled a pen out of the top pocket of his denim shirt and jotted down the words that appeared on the image: 9 September 1990, Anna Yu.
Alexander wrote down the numbers and characters, which were inexplicable to him, and when he tried to look inside the sapphire again, it had disappeared. The ring became a normal ring again.
The dark figure said: "Are you ready? As soon as the voice of the dark shadow fell, the sapphire began to play a clear picture like an electric screen: all the scenes of Alexander's previous life with Anna's girl, from the time she jumped off the cliff to the time they parted.
Ten-year-old Alexandre watched and watched. Tears fell silently.
These scenes, which had been intermittent in his dreams over the course of countless nights, were now clear before Alexandre's eyes. It awakened all his feelings and memories. So, it was not a dream.
When the scene was over, Alexandre said, "We have to go home and check the Internet to see what the words I have recorded are. If we can find out what country the word belongs to, then we should be able to understand something. ..."
...
Ten years later. Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, China.
The charming fengshui bamboo. Hanging houses with a special touch. The slender Dai girls.
"Do you think this is the city where Anna was born ..." asked the dark figure, puzzled.
"If I didn't make a mistake when I recorded it, according to the linguist I found, the characters on the note are Chinese, the mother tongue of the Chinese, and the reason we are in this city is because Anna's name tells me that she is most likely a Dai girl born in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan. Anna's surname, Yu, is a surname unique to the Dai women of China's ethnic minorities, the most prominent of whom live in Xishuangbanna. In addition to studying Chinese, I have also studied some of the cultural customs of the Dai people over the years. Generally speaking, among the Dai people, men are born with the surname of Yan and women with the surname of Yu. ..." said Alexandra, seriously explaining to Black Shadow.
"You're not only a professional musician, but also a good researcher. ..." Black Shadow joked.
"Don't make fun of me, you know everything I do is just to find Anna. Being a musician, I can travel and sing everywhere, even if I don't have a professional concert, as long as I can find a bar, I don't have to worry about not having the money to travel. As for learning Chinese, it's so I can communicate with Anna in the future, we've been apart for so long, I don't want us to meet and then have an unbridgeable language barrier ... I don't want us to meet and then have a language barrier that we can't cross." said Alexander, speaking from the bottom of his heart.
"I didn't snark at you, I've always admired your heart. But we've come such a long way, it would be a waste of effort to find the wrong place ..." the dark shadow couldn't help but voice his concerns.
