A Wisp Of Smoke 一缕青烟

Singapore - Mandai Crematorium and Columbarium

新加坡 — 万礼火葬场及骨灰安置所

On Christmas Eve, attend a relative's funeral.

在平安夜这一天,参加亲戚的葬礼。


The elders I met when I was a child have gradually aged as I have grown up.

小时候见到的长辈,也因为自己长大而渐渐老去。

Because everyone is "busy", everyone naturally pushes "see you" to "next time".

因为“忙”,大家都理所当然的把“再见”推给“下一次”。

"Next time" sometimes means "forever" that will never come!

“下一次”有时意味着不会到来的“永远”!


Ironically, modern "busy people" often only get to see their relatives once on such occasions.

讽刺的是,现代的“大忙人”通常也只能在这种场合见到亲人一次面。

Life is like a subtraction problem, if you see it once, you will lose it once.

人生就像一道减法题,见一次就少一次。

Do not wait until the other person has turned into a wisp of smoke when you meet.

莫等见面时,对方已成一缕青烟。
