The other day, we were talking about masks some people had to wear... Once you had on a mask, you had to keep wearing it... You wouldn't think of taking it down even though you were at home...
Then the next day, it happened that I read Lu Xun's words about 'masks':
鲁迅 -
面具戴太久,就会长到脸上,
再想揭下来,
除非伤筋动骨扒皮。
By Lu Xun-
'If you wear the mask for too long, it will grow into your face... You won't take it down unless you have your face skinned, scarred and ruined...'
