Original Message from Yi Xie (2020)
恋(Lian) is a Chinese Character. According to the dictionary, 恋 in English means "feel attached to". It is a beautiful word. It shows a strong feeling of humans that they are connected with someone, something, and some event.
This period of time is torture, and there are plenty of stories happened in my life that I will never forget. I know it sounds weird, but thanks to this self-quarantine, life give me countless time to think. Think about my life, my past, my future, and the connection between people. I start to think about my behavior and words that may hurt people who are important to me. It is interesting to see how connections are more and more highlighted when the in-person connections between people are broken by distance and self-quarantine.
I don't think I have enough experience and the ability to tell what love is and what this feeling is. This game is a derivative of my thoughts, and just represent my own feeling about Love and distance. Thank you for playing this game. I hope this game can bring you joy.
