The sky is the scenery we most often overlook
Looking up at the sky, you find the world is still beautiful
Just like a canvas
It adds colour to our lives
No matter when, it accompanies us in a vibrant manner
It might be your favourite colour
Or it might be your favourite mood
Everyone experiences it differently
May the colourful scenery of the sky become your favourite attitude towards life
I heard the sky is a fan of orange soda,
drinking it so much it spills out
I heard the sky’s original colour was that of dreamy purple, sometimes beautiful, sometimes bewildering, not unlike life itself
I heard the sky is a sundry shop, one that sells cotton candy
I heard the sky is an ocean, look, the kites and planes are sailing

The sky is endless treasure, just like you

In this short life, I hope to find someone
Have an encounter at Beijing Airport
And watch the sunset while waiting for our flight
Let’s walk in the afterglow, back home
