The 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' of TCM …TCM, in the long river of time, seems to have been cast under a spell of stillness.

Yaozi's novel "Seven Reincarnations" ~ a story about love, reincarnation, and the quest for life's meaning
Chapter 3: History
Anything crafted by human hands tends to be laced with affectation and exaggeration. Even if one could clearly see the titanic wheel of history, one's strength — no more than that of an ant — could never halt or turn it. Rather than fret over that unstoppable wheel, it is better to focus on oneself and make one's own history brilliant.
Chapter 3: The Grand Cosmos
A black hole, with its incomparable mass and gravity, pulls hundreds of billions of stars into orbit around it, devouring everything it can touch — until it consumes all, leaving behind only nothingness. Just like the ultimate greed of the human world.
Chapter 4: Mending
The human world is full of separations and mendings — between individuals, between communities, especially the former. People use needle and thread to repair clothing; spiritual practitioners use them to mend the rift between life and death. But in the torrent of time, all mending is as fragile as a spider's web in the wind.
Chapter 6: The Andromeda Galaxy
'He' took 'her' on a divine-eye journey through the Andromeda Galaxy. Countless stars streaked past them like flowing light. The two of them soared through the star-filled ocean of Andromeda. Perhaps this was the most cosmic level of romance a straightforward guy like 'him' could offer...
Chapter 6: Time
A human life is like a long scroll of time. If one could unroll it fully and magnify it down to every minute and second, it would reveal boundless details — seemingly infinite and inexhaustible, like an endlessly intricate fractal totem, yet all telling the story of a single person...
Prologue: On Spiritual Wave and Spiriton
The most advanced physics has proven that the essence of all phenomena is wave-like in nature, without any solid, particle-like substance. All existence is built upon the ethereal and intangible — including the soul.
Chapter 1: Clinic Visit
The wave-like nature of all phenomena lays the foundation for the resonance of all things. The essence of the soul is also a wave-like existence. What we call 'fate' is more likely the interactive resonance between souls with similar frequencies — and the medium of this resonance is the material world itself.
Chapter 1: The Bracelet
Diamond-hard, gem-bright sariras are inlaid into an eternal golden bracelet. Though the lotus engravings are carved from gold, they bear none of gold's vulgarity.
In the endless cycle of reincarnation, who can hold a diamond-like faith, raise the blazing torch of wisdom, pierce through the darkness, and find the path home?
Chapter 1: Verses
"Blossoming and withering
Blossoming and withering
Sitting on balcony and watching moon
Frost and snow blowing over the ground
Scenery not charming but people fascinated
When will her bright eyes cease to stare"
Is this poem about love between lovers, a dream among flowers? Yes and no...
Chapter 3: Choices
Low-energy electrons bound to a nucleus have fewer orbital choices. Only when its energy reaches a certain threshold can it become a free electron, breaking free from the nucleus's constraints — no longer doomed to endlessly orbit a fixed point, instead gaining infinite possibilities. What about humans, then?
Yaozi's music ~ to extract beauty from this troubled turbid world
Blood-Red Rose (Chapter 4: Nightmare)
"Blood-Red rose
Bloody game of cruelty
Blood-stained nightmare
Whose heart is bleeding"

A tragically beautiful piece, filled with words of blood yet devoid of the stench of gore...

Embraced by Autumn Wind
The practitioner, from first sensing the autumn wind's chill, to listening and resting the heart, to releasing and letting go, until arriving at enlightenment — the autumn wind remains the same, but the practitioner is both the same and no longer the same as before.
She and He (Chapter 6: Sound of Guzheng)
The hundred-life destiny between her and him is like the fate of vines and a giant tree, intertwined and entangled through life after life, inextricably bound, just like this piano piece...
The Fairest Flower
People pursue and seek everywhere; even with abundant possessions, they remain anxious and unsettled day after day. Yet, in the very end, they will come to realize that the most precious treasure lies deep within their own minds.
Unwilling to Let Go (Chapter 7: Fearless of Life and Death)
The Bodhisattva, having attained enlightenment and liberation, gazes upon their once intimate companions who remain lost in delusion and suffering the consequences of their own actions. Thus, they consciously retain a trace of attachment — unwilling to abandon them.
Crossing the Galaxy (Chapter 3: The Grand Cosmos)
Extreme greed can drive everything to revolve around it, only to ultimately devour all. This holds true in galaxies, just as it does in the human world.
Enlightened Ones (Chapter 7: Enlightened Ones)
Enlightened ones could have chosen to escape this turbid world and enter the pure nirvana. Yet, perhaps the greatest compassion and feat in this world is to have attained enlightenment and still choose to stay.
Lingering Dream (Chapter 5: Lingering Dream)
"If not for whispers among flowers, what voice remains to prove that you and I once cherished each other in dreams?"

When everything is gone, will only memories remain as traces to prove that you and I once existed?

Gazing into Stars in Your Eyes
After awaking from the great dream of the world, all a practitioner can do may be to quietly keep company with those companions who are still asleep.
Realizing the Unborn (Chapter 7: Enlightenment)
Both the perceiver and the perceived are like an illusion, a bubble, a shadow — intrinsically empty, instantly illusory, with no origin, no destination, birth without substance, and dissolution without trace.
