"Cattle Fly" reading notes

The young man seemed to have shaken off his gloomy mood, as if he had completely changed into a different person.

The tide of life rolls by, but it never hits this place, and everything here is unchanged.

Never did you ever think that the unfortunate clown also had a soul—a living, desperately struggling soul, imprisoned in that twisted shell, forced to be its slave? You show compassion for everything, pity the body of the clown in the costume of a bell, but have you never thought that the miserable soul is naked without a fig leaf? Think about it, it shivered coldly in front of those spectators, suffocated by shame and pain, felt their mockery whipped at its body like a whip, and their laughter burned its naked flesh like a hot soldering iron! Think about it, it is so pitiful and helpless in front of everyone, looking around to find the mountain to help, but the mountain refuses to hide on it, wants to ask the rock for help, the rock has no intention of covering it, it envies the mouse, because the mouse can burrow into the hole and hide. Don't forget, the soul can't speak, there is no voice to shout, just endure, endure, endure.
