Chapter 17 when a man falls in love with a wax figure

Suddenly I thought of such a plot: a man and a woman have been separated for many years; because of hatred, he doesn't want to see her; because of love, he can't forget her.As time goes by, the woman has become famous, and there is a statue of her in the wax museum, which is what she looked like when she was 21 years old thirty years ago. People would rather remember the story of Yan Yuan, the voice and appearance of the characters in the story. Almost every day, men go to the wax museum to see her, she is really similar, as if she has been moved out of the secret room of memory, her body still smells of the day of parting, the pier and the sea breeze.

"Will the wax figure be sold?" he asked the administrator. "It won't be sold, but it will be replaced." "When will it be replaced?" "If she is not popular, change it." "When she is not popular, I can buy it." He can embezzle his savings and sell the business for her . Three years later, the wax figure is still there.The man noticed the loss of complexion on her face, and only he could perceive that loss.He couldn't let people wantonly destroy his memory and his love; he decided to take her home at all costs. He had figured out how to steal the wax figures, but the wax museum was about to close down, and the "inventory" he wanted was publicly "badly surrendered".On his 60th birthday, the man finally got this most cherished gift; he felt relieved that when he was getting old, she was still as beautiful as before.

"In the days to come, I will have no regrets if I have you by my side." He arranged a room for her and let her "live" in it; every day, he went to the room to chat with her. There are always endless topics to talk about. "My friends say that I'm cheerful, and it's your credit." At that time, he was already seriously ill, and he knew that the time we spent together would not last longer.His will is very simple, just to be cremated with the wax figure. Half a year after the man's death, the woman came back from abroad and knew that he was gone, so she went to worship him; the woman was also old, and the years did not leave anyone behind, but the old things were left behind. He, she broke a white rose and offered it in front of the columbarium, which was regarded as a condolence to him and to herself.
