他是男人,我也是男人(序)

It’s the variety that spices up the world, I told myself. Having been dwelling in a modern city for years, I thought I could accept the variety easily. “I might be wrong,” I found out.

If I was more open-minded, I would not have been surprised to have met him. The probability is one tenth. That means for every ten people I mingle with everyday, I stand a chance to meet a person like him.

One out of ten. The proportion is just too small to make these people a majority. That’s why we think they are different – some of us stereotype them or refuse to acknowledge their existence as a part of the society; some even ‘punish’ the group of people by isolating them.

This is not fair, “majority wins”. Why most of us just can’t help?

“I will not tell you,” he did not try to make this mysterious, but I was curious. “Why not?” I wanted to know more. “My story is different from those you have heard so far.” That’s a big hint. “So what’s happening must be a man-ghost romance or a… that one.”

It’s a ‘that one’. His intuition, as sharp as a woman’s, made him realise that I had got hold of some clues. I persistently interrogated him further. Seeing no point hiding it anymore, he finally confessed.

From then on I became his listener. Times and again I reassured him that the difference was acceptable to me. I really thought so. I did not lie. However, the fact turned out to be another way round.

I was not someone I thought I was. That disappointed me. I tried to accept statement like “True love exists between us. It’s just that I am a ‘he’, and he is also a ‘he’”, but I simply could not.

I blamed myself.

Haha, hope this is really as the title says...纯幻想. I am one of the common "majority" you know...

最近忙得很啊,真的没有太多的时间。

如果机缘不对的话,可能就搁着不写了…… :-(
