Icy Flame

just like most of the people in this city, they live together but never know each other for the life time.

but one day they ran into each other in front of the fountain in the park.

they just liked the lovers who lost each other for years.


what a happy and sweet afternoon!

it rained cats and dogs suddenly. they left their contact number for each other and left each other in a hurry.

still he turned right and she turned left.


they were caught in rain and wet through but their hearts were so warm.

they were both too excited to fall asleep that night. the rain lasted for the whole night.

his life is just so-so recently. sometimes he may take a part time palying the violin in some upper class restaurants in this city.

it is november now. still glommy weather here. winter is coming anyways. and there is kind of sorrow hused into the air.he enjoys hanging around outside in his leisure time when he doesn't practise the violin, going to the park to feed the pigeons, sitting alone there for the whole afternoon.

the wind is so chilly in a winter afternoon.sometimes he's got a feeling there is so much emptyness and weakness inside the heart.

in the winter evening the shadow becomes so long and lonely. still she turns left.he turns right. they never meet each other.

it gets dark so quickly nowadays even not five o'clock,yet. she is translating a tragical novel which makes her feel all the world is so grey.

after work she enjoys go to the cafe for a cup of coffee, going for a walk in the street watching all the passerbys, talking to the homeless cats.

there is sunshine outside. why it is still so damp and grey inside?sometimes she's even got a feeling the life is boring.

Who's Jimmy? He is a famous animator in taiwan. i love almost all his books and have a collection of all of them. strange that i cannot find anything about him in english website on internet. anyways for more information about him check this Jimmy offical website out. i cannot find any english version of jimmy's books in internet here also though there are a lot in both traditional and simplified chinese...

just try to translate some of them here to share these beautiful and shining pictures, sentences, stories here.
Separate Ways is also known as Left and Right.

They're both convinced
that a sudden passion joined them.
Such certainty is beautiful,
but uncertainty is more beautiful still.

that winter was dreadfully cold.
the whole city was covered with the dank and chilly rain...
the sky is grey, without even a beam of the sunlight
so depressing, so gloomy,
the streets are weeping.

In the same apartment:

she lives alone in one apartment. this is an old apartment building located in the outskirts. she always gets used to turning left first whenever she goes out and wherever she goes.

he lives alone in one apartment. this is an old apartment building located in the outskirts. he always gets used to turning right first whenever he goes out and wherever he goes.

everyone in this city--the forest of concrete building never bothers knowing about their neighbors.

he never meets her; she never knows him.
