Her name is the sound of a breeze blowing across the rails. Feng Jin is a soul destined to walk alone on the Starry Sky Railway. There is no earth-shattering glory, only countless fragmented memories, shattered in the flow of time, like an endless dream.
Feng Jin’s growth is a silent river, flowing with fragments of fear, courage and glory. Her body seems to be made up of “fear crushing flesh and blood”, and those pains and tears spread deep in her heart, becoming a silent mark. She understands that fear is not an enemy, but a shadow that is always lurking. Only by learning to live with it can she not be swallowed.
Then, there is the hidden pain of “courage tearing the chest”. Courage is not a gorgeous declaration, but the harm silently endured in the deepest cracks. Her chest was torn, but the pain became another way for her to breathe, and the pain and courage were intertwined into an inseparable thin line. She groped in the darkness, looking for a glimmer of light, but she could not escape loneliness.
Glory, this word sounds so distant and illusory, but it shows a real weight on her. “Glory baptizes the body” is a silent trial. While she was cleansed by glory, she was also bound by it. That glory is both salvation and shackles, making her body and mind constantly struggle between light and darkness, as if walking on thin ice.
In the drunken era of “Pinoconi Theater”, she was drunk in the abyss of memory. A glass of wine, a past, like a hypnotic spell, blurred her perception of reality. That “drunken era” is not only the material in the game, but also her nostalgia for the past time and her obsession that cannot be given up.
She has a light cone named “May the rainbow light stay in the sky forever”, which is her only belief and sustenance. The light cone is like her inner lighthouse, guiding her through the vast darkness, but also reflecting the deepest loneliness in her heart. She poured all her materials into this, hoping that the light could resist the coldness of fate and dispel the haze in her heart.
Her growth was accompanied by countless collections and accumulations. Those “fear crushes flesh and blood”, “courage tears the chest”, and “glory baptizes the body”, each piece of material is the scar and strength deep in her heart. She has no gorgeous words, only continuous progress and silent persistence.
“The seeds of thought”, “the sprouts of manas”, “the Alaya”, these names seem to be the secret garden deep in her soul, dark and full of vitality. They nourish her thoughts and bring her endless reverie about the future. There are also “the legacy of the same wish” and “the footprints of fate”, which are the codes for her dialogue with the world and the clues for her pursuit of self and belonging.
Feng Jin’s story is a narrative about loneliness, struggle and growth. She is not a hero surrounded by a halo, but a traveler groping alone in the dark. Her fear and courage, glory and confusion, constitute her complex inner world. She silently tells the truth of life: there is no shortcut to growth, only rebirth in brokenness.
She is like a leaf floating in the wind, light but weightless. Her light is a glimmer in the darkness, and her shadow is a heartbeat in loneliness. She walks on the Starry Sky Railway with her own scars, quietly waiting for the silent redemption.
Feng Jin’s story allows us to see the complexity and reality of growth. It reminds us that everyone has fear and loneliness, struggle and hope in their lives. With silent tenacity, she interprets the fragility and tenacity of life, and tells us to find our own light in the darkness.
I hope Feng Jin on the Starry Sky Railway can find her own direction in the wind and complete her self-salvation in the interweaving of light and shadow. Her journey is a secret road deep in the hearts of each of us, and it is the deepest understanding and perception of life.
