Crusing With My Cow.

The story of Niulang( cowherd) and Zhinuv is widely spread in China, and legend has it that they were a couple who were not recognized by the Chinese society at the time, and they could only meet once a year due to theocratic punishment, and on the day they met they would meet at the Magpie Bridge in the sky. Therefore, the relationship between them is regarded as a symbol of love, tenacity and loyalty, and this day is also regarded as a valentine's festival in China.
But is it too cruel for humans to endure the relationship of seeing each other once a year?  Should them have to endure more  than they gain from it in order to stick to their relationship? Intimacy is stereotyped by such narratives, while erotic is despised as a human instinct.


和我的牛野战

牛郎织女的故事在中国广为流传,传说中牛郎和织女是一对不被当时的中国社会认可的情侣,由于神权的惩罚他们一年只能见面一次,见面的这一天他们会在天上的喜鹊桥相会。因此,牛郎织女的关系被视为爱情坚韧忠贞的象征,而这一天也被视为情人的节人。
但忍受一年见面一次的爱情是不是对人类太过残忍?牛郎和织女理应为了坚守爱情而承受更多的寂寞?亲密关系被这样的叙事刻板化,而情欲/爱欲作为人的本能被轻视。
