I met Mrs. Marina, a very kind old woman. In my eyes, she is not at all ridiculous or worldly. She gives off a friendly feeling, making people fall in love with her at first sight. I felt her warmth, and she was very willing to talk to me.
I told her that I am Zhang Xiaobei's wife, a wife who was forced to separate from each other in hardship. Marina remained calm, not finding it strange at all, as she had mentioned the existence of someone like me before. Marina just found my appearance very strange. She said she would never have thought that I would come from afar to find my husband, and that the love in my heart is truly great. This was the most incredible love story she had ever encountered. Because Marina had no idea why I had come here or what my purpose was, in her eyes, she only understood that this was the power of love.
At this time, France has also begun to fall, and is already on the verge of collapse. Here I see many German soldiers, they are beginning to occupy this romantic city, and the war is quietly spreading. I also heard that many French men have been captured and detained in concentration camps, restricting their activities and forcing them to do hard labor. Most of the men in the city are being used as prisoners to do hard labor for others, leaving us women to wonder what we can do and how we can survive! I really feel anxious for these people.
In Apartment 1, I saw many German soldiers and also many French women. They are entangled in such an improper relationship, and my heart is filled with pain. Poor these people, living in misery, yet still wearing a halo on their heads. Perhaps at this moment, they are thinking about how to survive, and the national righteousness has long been thrown out of their minds.
Just witnessed the frequent warfare in the country, and coming here has made things even worse.
Marina told me that she hasn't seen Zhang Xiaobei for a long time. She said he is a smart and ambitious person, but unfortunately, his luck isn't so good. She doesn't know his current situation. She only detailed to me about his feelings for Taliesin. From Mrs. Marina's expression, it's clear that he really likes Xiao Bei, and even feels sympathy for his current situation. But I think he has only lost his loved one. She still has me. Perhaps this is our fate, destined to reunite here.
I am wearing tattered linen clothes, wandering the streets of France, where the beautiful, pretty, yellow-haired French women see me as a monster, a hideous, dark, and skinny creature. My hair is disheveled, my skin dark, and my clothes ragged, like a beggar on the street.
The fireworks of war have not burned people's hearts, just like those French women who throw themselves into the arms of German soldiers, disregarding their husbands suffering in prisoner-of-war camps, and getting involved with German soldiers and officers. This kind of behavior has become prevalent, and I shyly cover my eyes. Lord, their ignorance has deepened their sins. How will you punish them? They will not have a good ending.
Under Nazi occupation, the women of Paris continue to enjoy life. Well-dressed Parisians shop on tree-lined boulevards, leisurely stroll in parks, pack nightclubs, and women in swimsuits swim in pools. On the streets, you can always see French women and German soldiers in pairs, occasionally sharing a French kiss. But in my eyes, it's all empty. I am not without desires, I just understand that I don't need to seek, everything I want will be given to me by my Father God. I just need to hold fast to his words, and I will always be joyful and peaceful. There is nothing greater than living a life without worries. But how many people can understand this?
I arrived at the place where Xiao Bei works. I am not qualified to go in, and it's chaotic inside now. They, the government officials and soldiers who symbolize power and status, hold their lives firmly in their own hands. In their eyes, the law is not the law, it's just a set of rules they can change at any time. And what are they doing it for? For money, fame, beauty, and physical pleasure, the things that people in this world pursue.
"Madam, please stop wandering back and forth here. You don't seem to be a resident of France. How did you end up here? This is not the place for you to come. Please leave!"
"I'm just here to inquire about someone, his name is Zhang Xiaobei. I want to know where he is."
"Oh! Assistant Zhang, he used to be a popular figure around here, the personal bodyguard of Governor Zhan. But he hasn't reported here for a long time, and we can't reach him either!"
"How could this happen? Don't you have his address? Maybe you can try calling his phone again, perhaps he's around?"
"Alright, poor thing. Since you've been wandering around here all day, I'll make this call for you. If no one answers, don't blame me!"
"Thank you, dear friend. I'm very grateful to you. I believe I will bring you good luck!"
"Oh, what are you talking about? Stop joking around, I don't need you to bring me good luck, I've always been a lucky person! What good luck can you bring me? Poor thing, you really know how to joke! Alright, I'm going to make a call!" He turned and walked away. I waited quietly outside.
"Ah, poor thing, I said I'm a lucky person. He answered the phone, but sorry, I forgot to ask you, who are you to him?"
"Just tell him, my name is Betty, and he will understand! I want to see him!"
About five minutes passed...
"He said he doesn't know you, please leave!" "No, no, no, how could this be? I came all the way from China, tell him I spent over two years just to get here, I must see him! Has something happened to him?"
"Ma'am, I can't help you. She has already hung up the phone. Please leave. Whether you know each other or have any grievances, please resolve it on your own. Alright, that's it." The soldier left.
I think something must have happened to him. It can't be that simple. I fell silent. No matter how long it takes, I will wait to meet him.
