From Xu Zhimo:

I am a person who is willing to risk the world and work hard with all my strength. I seek with my lungs to avoid the pain of disasters, but in fact I seek peace of mind and peace of mind. To save. I will search for my only soul mate in the vast sea of ??people. If I get it, I'm lucky; if I don't get it, it's my fate. That's all.
