The meaning and value of life is actually in "time". Only time will tell us how to continue our lives and how to interpret our dreams. Your time is limited, don't live for others. Reading Shen Congwen's life, we seem to see a boat in the river of time. The boat moved forward quietly and steadily, just moving forward, regardless of the wind, rain, dark clouds or scorching sun behind it. When we read Shen Congwen's Talking about Time, what we read is people's attitude towards time. As Faulkner said in The Sound and the Fury, "I gave you my watch not to let you remember time, but to forget it occasionally, instead of using all my energy to conquer it, because time can't be conquered anyway."
