He wants to live.

“故事讲的是一个小伙，穷酸粗陋的乡下小子，但心思细腻。他父亲领了神职，却早早撒手人寰。小伙子便进了城。他不想像父亲那样，到死都只是个小小祭祀。他求知若渴，踌躇满志。寒窗几度，他抛却了过往的偏见、开阔了他的视野。他志愿求索，对世间的一切都要亲自推敲，绝不轻下定论。与此同时，他亦培养出蓬勃的想象力和温柔善感的内心世界。一草一木都能使他动容、令他欢乐。他自有强盛之处，甚或有改创世界的伟力，却终究不了了之，无甚成就。可一切尚未落幕，他的故事不会悲剧告终。他满怀热望，但始终一贫如洗，一无所成。但他从来不曾回避这样的命运，从没做过逃兵。他热爱生命，仅仅是呼吸的自由便可令他感到充实愉悦…他就这样活着，也将这样活下去！”

"A young boy, village boy, poor but sensitive. His father's a priest. The father dies. The boy comes to the city. He doesn't want to be a priest. He'll study. He's ambitious. He studies. Through his education and struggles, we watch as he sheds his old superstitions and fixed views. He questions everything and takes nothing on trust. Yet he has imagination and sensitivity. Little things move him and bring him joy. Perhaps he has greatness in him, the ability to create, but he doesn't make it. But it doesn't end there. It's not a tragedy. He does nothing great. He remains poor, in want. But he never turns away from life. He doesn't run away. He wants to live. He says living itself brings fulfillment and joy... He wants to live! "
