“I have a beloved, over the mountains and across the seas… I’m his reverse scale… My name is Jing Lin… Ming Jin Stage… City of
Huaishu… Qixing town… He and I, he…
...I want to form a marriage alliance with him… In Qixing Town…Ming Jin Stage… Come for me, for me…”
― Tang Jiuqing, 南禅 [Nan Chan]

“There’s a man I love...I expected him to be my tribulation, but then I fell under his spell. I yearn to see him in the day, and I yearn to see him at night.”
― Tang Jiuqing, 南禅 [Nan Chan]

“This was the tenth month of my "fellowship" in oncology - a two-year immersive medical program to train cancer specialists - and I felt as if I had gravitated to my lowest point. In those ten indescribably poignant and difficult months, dozens of patients in my care had died. I felt as if I was slowly becoming inured to the deaths and the desolation - vaccinated against the constant emotional brunt.”
― Siddhartha Mukherjee, The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer

“There’s a man I love."
Jing Lin strained to say to himself. 
"In the clouds. In the sea. In my heart.”
― Tang Jiuqing, 南禅 [Nan Chan]
