"When the Snowflakes Fall"
When the snowflakes begin to fall
I sing softly in my heart
Finally waited for this day
Don't miss the snow season in your life
This journey has been hard and bumpy
Qixi also has a variety of wonderful singing and harmony
After going through the rugged mountain road
Survived the rough waves and storms of the waterway
Stayed… stayed…
My writings, word for word
It's the fire that burns for love in my life
Who put a flower in the snow?
The sun reflects the roses so vividly
Just like the snow and fire in my heart
Whether it's good or bad, right or wrong
That me... that me...
Always chasing the sunrise and sunset
Believe that there is love in the world, the original intention is just like yesterday
This is my last choice
Time has come and life will not get better
Don't drag down your loved ones and transcend the disease
My heart is free and unrestrained and happy
At this moment... At this moment...
Like snowflakes and sparks blooming at the same time
I will fly to the stars where I can dance

Dear friends and confidants:
Don't cry, don't be sad, don't feel sorry for me. I have gone "easily"!
"Pianran" is my favorite word. It means "flying" of "autonomy, ease and freedom". It is graceful and "light". I got rid of the body that was gradually causing me pain, and "Pianran" turned into snowflakes. Fly away!
This is my wish. "Death" is the only way for everyone, and it is also the last "big thing". I don't want to leave it to fate, I don't want to slowly wither and wither, I want to "make the decision" for this final event.
God's design for the process of life is not very good. When people get old, they have to go through a very painful period of "weakness, degeneration, illness, hospital visits, treatment, and death." This period of time can be long or short. What a torture it is for people who are bound to die of old age! If you are unfortunate, you may become a "bedridden old man" who relies on "intubation for life support"! I've seen that kind of tragedy. I don't want that kind of "death".
I am the "spark" and I have burned with all my strength. Now, before the flames are extinguished, I choose this way to go home gracefully. What I want to say is all recorded in my video of "When the Snowflakes Fall". I hope my friends will watch the video several times and understand everything I want to express.
Friends, don't mourn my "death", smile for me! The beauty of life lies in "being able to love, hate, laugh, cry, sing, speak, run, move, have the company of the mortal world, live a carefree life, hate evil as much as hatred, live a vigorous life..." these , I have owned them all in my lifetime! I have "lived" and have never let this life down!
What I can't let go of the most is my family and you. "Love" is tightly tied to my heart, and you are the ones I miss the most. In order for my soul (I don't know if humans have souls) to be able to "fly", please laugh for me, sing for me, and dance for me! My spirit in heaven will "dance" with you!
Farewell! My beloved you! I am glad that I have met and known you all in this life.
Note that the way I "die" is implemented at the end of my life! Young people, please don't give up on life easily. A temporary setback may be the "temper" of a beautiful life. I hope you can withstand the test and live to be eighty-six or seven years old like me, with no physical strength. time, then choose how to face death. I hope that by then, humans will have found a very humane way to help the "old people" and "return" happily!
My dears, be brave, live a strong "self", and don't live up to your trip to this world! Although this world is not perfect, there are also all kinds of unexpected joys, sorrows and joys! Don't miss out on the wonderful things that belong to you!
There are too many words to describe it. Finally, I wish you all good health, happiness and live a carefree and unrestrained life!
