Another night after raining. The wind is touching my face gently, with fresh air and the sm ell of rain. It feels like someone is playing music by toughing the c ords on a stringed instrument. The sound is light, scattering, hittin g straight into my ears. What a familiar night! The same wet, same s ad. It caught me again. I know I'm going to meet her during a night like this. Yes, indeed. When I was standing in the night wind, her face appeared in front of me, familiar, pretty and clear. I stretched my h ands toward her, reached her hair, then stopped on her face. I could even feel her body temperature, and her smooth, tender skin...... I said: Finally, you see me. She said: Yes. You look just like what I've dreamed of. I said: You are also my dream. She said: It was a dream for both of us. I said: One day, we are going to wake up. She said: No. We'll let it go on. I said: You promised to keep me. She said: But it was you who escaped. I said: I probably worried too much. She said: Yes, regret could be pretty, but I would rather to s ee a different you. When she was saying all these words, she was staring at me, wi th her deep eyes, in the deep night. I felt like she was taking me in to her eyes, but she turned her body and disappeared in the darkness, leaving me all alone, in this beautiful city, in this lonely night. M y hands are still outreached, while my mind is telling me, what I have been holding is just the empty air...... I wanted to choose a better time to tell the story. But I kno w that when time passes by, my memory, as well as my enthusiasm will g o away, no matter how excited I was. I think I can only describe this pain while it still hurts. It's like a wound, right as it heals, you open it. It bleeds, but it also makes you remember. I kind of like this bloody reality. Chapter 2 In today's changing world, I happened to be a fancy guy who's changing with the world. I caught up fashions in all kind of aspects, except AIDS. I learned about the internet by chance. I still rememb er the day when I went to a computer shop with my friend. My friend w anted to buy an ink box for his printer. The manager of the computer shop seemed drunk that day. He started to chat with us. He told us h ow wonderful the internet is, how easy it is to get to newspapers and books all over the wor ld. Of course movies too, those without special editing! He said, yo u can also make international calls at the same rate as the local call s! You can put whatever you want on the net without worrying about be ing offensive to your government. I told him that I have written a lo t of stuff. But the publishing house would never accept any of my wor k. They told me that I wasn't good enough. I needed to go home and g o over all of my basic literature classes in high school. Now, with t he internet, it seems to be all set. The manager finally told me that there are a lot of po rnography and sex books on the internet too. His final words caught m e and I made the decision. The next day, I took the computer back home and linked it to t he internet. I asked the manager of the computer shop where I could p ut my free comments. He said after I bought the computer, his interes ts in me ended. He simply heard that from somebody else. Shit! There was an article in a magazine said that internet is much like the Renaissance and the industry revolution. China had missed bo th and it could be the reason why China is still a developing country. Now, the third revolution in the history of human civilization ---- the information technology is coming. China couldn't miss it again. If you miss this one, there is no longer another one. At the end of t he article, it also criticized the telecommunication systems in China. It said that the cos t for internet in China is even higher than that in America. This kin d of behavior will only get short term profits, and the consequence of it could put China into a bad position again. The title of the artic le was a good one: the internet, the new life. I liked the article, b ut I didn't know how it changed my whole life. I am a pretty smart guy. So, a month later, I became very goo d at playing with computers and internet. The saying was right: It is a wonderful experience of life in the net world. The internet is just like an anticipator, especially its news report. Couldn't complain! One day, I even learned on the news wire that a flight from Beijing to Kunming was hijacked and landed in Taiwa n in ten minutes, etc...... I registered in lots of web sites, using different nicknames, posted a lot of articles, criticized others when I didn't agree with t hem. It was more like throwing bricks on others, tough, heavy and sho wing no mercy. I used to admire the newspaper editors a lot. I wanted to get my works published. But now, when I put my name as author of the art icle on the BBS and saw some responses after that, I was so proud of m yself and felt that I was just as good as those big names who won the Nobel prizes. Sometimes, I was even upset if I didn't see any respons es following my speeches. I almost forgot that there is another thing called newspaper in the world. Later on, I got to get on the interne t every single day. O therwise, I didn't feel right. I didn't want to go out. I lived like a sick man. I truly believed that you could do all you need to do in your life on the net except making love and giving birth. The greatest feeling it gave me was the freedom. I could do w hatever I want! But I didn't go to those pornography web sites. Beca use they usually ask you to pay to get in. I felt this kind of life was just great and happy. I felt tha t I was living in a honey pot which was so sweet, pure sweet! Day and day passed with these good feelings, until one day, I went into this chat room. Chapter 3 That was a night after I finished posting an article on the BB S, which was about some tips that I learned from being in love with so meone. It developed as a series, although I didn't intend it to. I c ouldn't remember which episode that was. I was very tired after that. So I went to the bathroom, peed, and logged into the chat room on Gu ilin city's web site. This place was always crowded with people. Because of the mem ory limit, it only accommodates 15 people at the same time. My tip wa s to open another window and monitor the chat room. As long as there is one person logging out, I could sneak in immediately. This small t rick made me feel good. That was one of the reasons that I liked this place. Another reason was that you can talk to somebody by choosing an one-to-one selection. That's good for privacy. Nobody else could possibly see the words . You can say whatever you want in the private room. After saying "hello" to every old friend, I found a new name: Bored. I said in the hall room: Hello, Bored, are you new here? After a long time, I saw his words: Yes, Rain. My typing is r eally slow. Please don't puch. I liked to chat with slow typing... [内容过长，已截断] 2002-06-17 06:10:00
