    Wang Nuo

    In "The Twelve Heavens", Xi Li once again described the "wind" of Sachs.  She created the image of a saxophonist known as the "King of Southwest Saxophone" - Wang Ying, a tall and handsome wandering musician whose father is Manchu and whose mother is Russian.  He fell in love with a female poet named Rourou in the novel.  The author also uses "Touching This Music" as the chapter title, and includes this poem in the work, and the author of the poem is just the female poet Rourou.  In "Confused Women", a collection of self-explanatory essays, Xili described "I"'s strong and lasting love for the saxophone lover with the title "A Woman's Life".  At the beginning of the article, "I" and "my" groom "lie together. We lie together and keep a distance, and no one speaks".  In reality she is lying on the marriage bed with the groom she does not love, cannot see clearly, and does not understand, but in imagination she is with her lover¡ª¡ªthe lover she regards as the Pied Piper.  "Oh, my lover, my fluttering wings of music!" "He warms me with his young and fiery bodyhe will take off every garment that separates us, and hold me close until his heat  Infiltrating my skin, penetrating the inner being of life, altering the rate of blood flow, melting every knot in my extremities" (The Lost Woman, pp. 51-52).  This very feminine confession lets us understand that women's desire for a lover often requires warmth, care, and dependence more than sex, and the penetration of heat is better than the entry of the body.  On the wedding night, her imagination and desire for the saxophone lover and her indifference and rejection of the groom formed a huge contrast, and a violent collision occurred in her heart.  Finally she couldn't bear this contrast and collision.  She needs relief, even if she dies¡ª

    My hands are on my belly, holding a slender sharp blade tightly.

    I wait.

    As soon as he wakes up, the lying Bridegroom, as soon as he understands and rises, I'll give him this warm knife and say at the same time: "Kill him, the musician. Or kill me,  Kill me, that's the only way to go!"¡ª¡ª

    "Women Confused", pp. 53-54

    What kind of love is this!  Saxophone love.  Tormented almost insane by conflict, she realizes that the only escape is death, either his or her.  I believe that she must be reluctant to let him die, so she emphasized again that killing herself, and said firmly, "This is the only way to go!" Because she had given him all her life at the moment she fell in love with him,  Has decided unshakably to dedicate eternity to that moment.

    There is a kind of music

    Anywhere, anytime

    Like that tender devil

    Quietly

    Always find me

    force me

    sign

    Eternal Covenant-

    "Saxophone's Dream Song", excerpted from "Xi Li Xiang", page 12

    The poet can never *get rid of the devil of tenderness, never* get rid of the wind of saxophone.  Wherever she went, whoever she lived with, saxophone love was everywhere, like Eros and like Mephistopheles.

    Xili's charming saxophone style love is closely related to her love of music and singing.  According to her old friend Leisurely's recollection, Xili always has singing in her life.  "Every weekend, I can hear her singing alone in her hut all dayshe can sing any song, one after another. Especially at dusk, she seems tired and sits by the window  , keep singing, the voice is beautiful and illusory." ("Xi Lixiang", p. 140) She herself wrote an essay entitled "Never Stop Singing", claiming that "I can't bear that silent time If  Without music, without singing, how bleak life would be!" ("Confused Women", p. 77) Xi Li has a very good sense of music, especially for saxophone music.  Listening to sax's "wind", this picture appeared in her mind:

    The lonely sound of the wind, the unfathomable grass and gullies, the owl with one eye open and pretending to sleep on the invisible branch

    This mysterious singer!  It leads everything, it wears a silver cloak, slightly raises its wings, looks up at the night sky, seeking the place of light and wisdom Who does it sing for?  The shadow of a stranger by the sea, or a beautiful girl who is hurt, or a dream that will never come true

    Who is driving slowly in the middle of the night, the lights passing by the night scene-

    "Saxophone Night", excerpted from "Lost Women", p. 33

    Sax wind!  Xili's love!  Xili's character said, "The sound of the saxophone is close to our soul" ("Twelve Heavens", p. 67); I said, her saxophone love shocked (thunder) my soul!  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
