Have been rewatching kiseki: dear to me almost everyday due to my obsession ✨✨

And I realised that for our main couple, there wasn’t any formal introductions between the two. Usually there might be a third person who helps to connect the two. But there isn’t in this case.

Fan Zherui learnt of Bai Zongyi’s name through digging around Zongyi’s room and got wind of it via the scholarship certificate. While Zongyi learnt of Zherui’s name indirectly during this scene:

Zherui: I need to stay here for a few days. If you help me, I will repay you. I, Fan Zherui, keep my words.

To me, this is so interesting because the first thing we do when we meet someone is to offer our name. This allows the other person to address us properly during the interaction, to identify/pinpoint us again in the next time we meet, or simply to name drop if the occasions allow. Hence, the fact that both of them did not volunteer their names tell us that they were very sure they want nothing to do with each other in the future. Especially since Zherui asked Zongyi for his name while Zongyi was cleaning up Zherui’s wound, and Zongyi stayed quiet:

This really sets the stage for “I have no idea how much you will mean to me in the future”. And to think about how Zongyi will be taking the place of Zherui and going to prison on his behalf, this really is one of the main reason why this couple will be the death of me.

I love it when the characters have no idea what they are in for, and how this person who they thought will be extremely insignificant, is really going to bring in a whole 180 degrees change in their life. I guess this is why this show is call “Kiseki”/奇迹, a direct translation would actually be miracle. Except the official eng title is kiseki: dear to me.

Kiseki: Dear To Me OP Translation

拥有你的明天 has been looping in my brain after watching the OP multiple times and I’m convinced of the editors’ intentionality in picking each scene/CP/character to match each line. So before I forget and to help me process the feels™️, this is my translation/interpretation of the lyrics.

*Disclaimer: There is no 1-1 translation from mandarin to english and direct translations don’t always make sense so each person’s interpretation can be different!

偶尔自我 莫名失落 你能理解

Occasionally alone I’m inexplicably lost, you understand

你掩饰的 痛和快乐 我能感觉

The pain and happiness you hide, I feel it

有一种度日如年的 思念

Missing you for a day feels like a year

在你我之间 悄然地蔓延 该怎么收敛

This silence creeping between the two of us, how do we stop it

不管此刻的我们 多么遥远

No matter how far apart we are in this moment

我要去 一个拥有你的明天 [1]

I only want a tomorrow that has you

就像是 被乌云遮住的光线

Just like a light ray blocked by dark clouds

不会因为谁的阻挡 而改变

We won’t change just because of anyone’s objection

就算所有声音让我们分别

Even if all the voices around cause us to part

为了你愿意对抗 全世界

For you I’m willing to stand against this world

时间不曾让我忘掉 炙热的爱恋

Time has never once let me forget this passionate love

伤口还流著血 誓言绝不改变

The wound still bleeds, our promise will never change

在一望无际的孤岛里呼叫

In this immense isolation and loneliness, yelling [2]

暴雨狂风 找寻微弱讯号

In the violent storm, desperately searching for a sign [3]

等待奇迹出现的 那一秒

Waiting for the second that a miracle appears

不绝望 不伪装 只绽放

No more despairing, no more pretence, only blossoming

[1] It directly translates into “I want to go to a tomorrow that has you” but I think the feeling it’s trying to convey is as above

[2] It translates into “On this boundless lonely island, yelling” but it’s a metaphor so I took some liberties

[3] It directly translates into “In the violent storm, searching for a weak signal”, tying in with the metaphor in [2]; so again, liberties (ties in better with following lines anyway)

#kiseki: dear to me #kiseki dear to me #bai zong yi x fan ze rui #fan ze rui x bai zong yi #bai fan #chen yi x ai di #ai di x chen yi #chen ai #ramblings #im overwhelmed with feelings #they make me so unwell 🥹 #this is not a full translation of the song

The Id in Full

I found this on bilibili and had to share it. Honestly, I could never write anything this unhinged good. True insanity love cannot be replicated by a mere mortal such as I.

深情朗诵《我好想做兔毛手袋的实验品啊》，但伤痛英文散文风_哔哩哔哩_bilibili

Transcript below:

Oh, my beloved Medicine Pocket, with every fiber of my being, how I crave to be their most daring experiment — a test subject willingly consumed by an unyielding desire to explore the depths of their ingenious mind. 

(哦，我最挚爱的兔毛手袋，我身上的每一根纤维都渴望成为他最大胆的实验品—— 一个心甘情愿的，被想探索他聪明的头脑深处的欲望彻底吞噬的试验品。)

How I ache to be the catalyst that ignites their creativity, the spark that sets ablaze the fires of inspiration within them. 

（我多么渴望成为点燃他创造力的催化剂，成为点燃他内心灵感之火的火花。）

How I wish they take me into the inner sanctum of their laboratory and sculpt me into the masterpiece they envision. 

(我多么希望他把我带进他实验室的内部圣殿，把我雕刻成他设想的杰作。)

Within the realm of daring experiments dismissed as mad science by everyone else, I yearn to surrender myself entirely, as a willing vessel for their extraordinary vision.

(即便他大胆的实验被他人斥为疯狂的科学，我渴望完全交出自己，成为实现他非凡实验愿景的容器。)

In their worldview where beauty is often measured by conventional standards, I humbly stand before them, aware that I may not possess the same conventional charm as a puppy or an arcanist. 

（在他的世界观中，所谓的美往往是以常规的标准来衡量的，我卑微地站在他面前，意识到我可能不具备像只小狗或神秘学家那样的魅力。）

Yet, in the depths of my heart, like an unwavering flame of a Bunsen burner, a love flickers and dances, immune to the judgments of inadequacy.

（然而，在我的内心深处，就像本生灯坚定的火焰一样，我的爱在舞动，闪烁，不受对我不足之处的判断影响。）

Perhaps, in the grand tapestry of existence, I am destined to be but a humble creature, a mere vermin, a lab rat confined within the walls of their affection. 

（也许，在称为“存在”的宏伟织锦中，我注定只是一个卑微的生物，一个单纯的害虫，一个被禁锢在他感情之墙的实验室白老鼠。）

Yet, even in this self-imposed diminishment, my heart remains steadfast, under a trembling breath, I implored, "Please, Medicine Pocket, allow me to be your lab rat."

（然而，即使是在这种自我贬斥的情况下，我的心依然坚定不移，在颤抖的呼吸下，我恳求道："求求你，兔毛手袋，请允许我成为你的小白鼠。"）

"Let me be your devoted lab rat, the embodiment of your curiosity, a vessel for your boundless imagination."

("让我成为你最忠诚的小白鼠，成为你好奇心的化身，成为你无限想象力的容器。")

As you study me, my love, remember that I am not merely a subject for scrutiny but a willing participant in this scientific romance.

（当你研究我时，我的挚爱，请记住，我不仅仅是一个被你审查的实验品，而是这个称为“浪漫”的科学中一个自愿的参与者。）

With every hypothesis they formulate, with every test they conduct, I willingly surrender myself to be the canvas upon where they paint their profound study, in which their genius takes flight.

（他提出的每一个假设，他进行的每一次测试，我都心甘情愿地交出自己，成为他那描绘深邃实验研究的画布，让他的非凡造詣能在上面自由翱翔。）

For it is in this vulnerable surrender that I find my truest purpose.

（因为正是在这种脆弱的屈服中, 我能够找到我存在的意义。）

Amidst the choices that weigh upon me, this transcends a mere deliberation between options like rofecoxib and pregabalin;

（在众多抉择中，这已经超越了在罗非昔布和普瑞巴林俩选项之间的单纯考虑；）

It is a matter of love.

（这是一个关于爱的问题。）

*注: matter也可翻译为物质(双关) 

It is an impassioned dance of the heart, where emotions intertwine and intertwine, beckoning me to embrace the transformative power of connection.

（这是我一场狂热，情感交织的心灵之舞，指引我去拥抱那能让你彻底改观的联系。）

I find myself desiring to be a species entirely of my own, not just a lab rat, but a creation — a creation born from the amalgamation of your hands, my dear Medicine Pocket.

（我发现自己渴望成为一个独一无二物种，不只是一只实验室的白老鼠，而是一个创造物—— 一个由你的双手诞生的创造物，我亲爱的兔毛手袋。）

So, I implore you, my love, my dear Medicine Pocket, let me be your most audacious experiment. 

（因此，我恳求你，我的挚爱，我亲爱的兔毛手袋，让我成为你最大胆的实验品吧。）

In your pursuit of knowledge and innovation, let us unearth a love that is extraordinary and unexplored, where the boundaries between scientist and subject dissolve, and we become something magnificent — a testament to the arcane wonders that unfold when love and science entwine.

（在你对知识和创新的追求中，让我们发掘出一种非同寻常和未曾探索过的爱，使科学家和受试者之间的那界限消失，让我们变成了一种宏伟的东西—— 证明当爱和科学交织在一起时能产生的，那神秘学般的奇迹。）

[Arlington] — A love story 一个古怪柔软的“爱”的故事

Arlington, St Ann’s Warehouse, New York — A love story.

What I saw outside the window, kept me from sleeping.

Maybe it's all falling apart finally

In the midst of a terrifying world. Enda Walsh has dared to imagine a strange, tender love story.

一个古怪柔软的“爱”的故事

前两天看到同学准备自己的东西，把一个“future is soft”翻译成了柔软的未来。顿时喜欢上了柔软这个词。今天这个剧，怪怪的，很扭曲，又有点温暖，姑且就用上柔软吧。

自打川普上台，《1984》就火了。连百老汇最近都刚上映一部同名的作品。作者乔治·奥威尔在本书中描述了一个以追逐权力为终极目标的极权假想社会。这个社会里的人被剥夺了自由，监控遍布各处。那句Big Brother is Watching You（老大哥看着你哪）仿佛笼罩不散的阴魂，成了经典的令人闻知生畏的名句。

人都麻木了。

不过今天不是要说这个《1984》（因为我没看），就是借来打个比方。

上个月28号，纽约Dumbo的St. Ann's Warehouse结束了最后一场Arlington的演出。这部同样反乌托邦的作品被形容成简直就是《1984》里那个大洋国的映射。不过Enda Walsh还是想玩的更多一些，她往里面揉进了剧场、舞蹈、表演艺术、诗歌，用一种荒诞的方式将一个爱向极权世界挑衅的故事铺展开来。

一个空荡荡的雪白屋子里，像是一个精修过的明亮监狱，里面有一排三个蓝色塑料椅，一个大的盆景，一个有水却没有鱼的浴缸，一个挂了一件外套的衣架，还有一个很高的大窗户，伸手都够不到。

Part 1: 监控之下，我想听你的过去（话剧）

一个女孩儿（Isla）在里面，喃喃自语，日复一日。然后发现她并非一人，发现自己在监控之中。墙上有摄像头，摄像头的那一边，一个青年男子在他的操作间面对各种显示屏和投影仪，开始尝试着通过监控的话筒以及投影和这个女孩儿沟通。女孩儿一开始略带敌意，不过男子告诉她她很可爱，这让这个略略自恋的Isla放松下来，两人开始聊天。

青年男子鼓励Isla回忆一些过去的事情，他则是在其之上摆弄着声音和投影，尝试引导和帮助Isla讲故事。但意外总是发生，这个控制系统很不稳定，故事讲着讲着总要被打断，然后男子就尝试安抚Isla，并引导她往下一个故事讲。Isla说她不太明白为什么人们总是谈论已经过去的事情，谈论什么本来可以发生，本来可能会成功，谈论他们的梦想 -- 或者更好说是谎言。 

 Part 2: 能不能逃出这里（舞蹈）

同样的房间，另一个女孩儿，颓废的样子，躺在地上。她疲倦的身体不断挣扎，疯狂跺脚，沉重的喘气，旋转、扭曲、爬动、翻腾、跳跃。她尝试着各种方式，逃出这里，但偶尔却又能感受到有丝丝沉浸在这种禁闭的状态。像只困在笼子里的猛兽被磨掉了兽性，要咆哮，要挣脱。

本段没有任何语言，最多的只是这个女孩儿的喘气声。所有无法用语言描述，在这个压抑世界里的情感都由身体猛然迸发出来，愤怒、无奈、狂躁、忧郁、绝望、沉迷、颓废、人性已经开始变态。最后女孩儿纵然一跃，居然猛然跃上头顶之上的窗户，推开大窗，逃离了这里。

 Part 3: 可否共渡难关（话剧）

那个青年男子被甩上了舞台，衣衫褴褛，血迹斑斑。好像犯了什么错误，从这个系统中间层的监控小兵，落魄被打入了和Isla一样甚至更糟糕的地位，玩偶般地被各种玩弄。

Isla又出现了。两个人质疑，呐喊。然后。男子叫Isla闭上眼睛，他开始描述一个美妙的世界，想象着自己走在青葱森林里面，手指拂过绿色、拂过空气，慢慢闭着眼睛一步一步往前走。终于第一次，从头到现在，两个人走到了面前，剧中第一次有了人与人之间的直接交流。像是两个患难与共多年的老友，要一起面对和逃离这个变态的世界。

 以下，开始随便打点了。

Arlington这个有点超现实的的舞台很素净，没有特殊的装点。雪白的空间，白得和监狱一样，所有装饰很听话的只躺在舞台两边。舞台边缘从四周向内打的灯像手术室的无影灯，干净的都不愿意留下黑影，如果不算舞台后面打上来的投影的话。 原来投影还可以倾斜，像是一个顺时针渐变的时空。光抖，影子也跟着颤抖，整个系统就好像瘫痪了。而隔壁的监控间却密密麻麻排满了各种老式的监控仪器，复古的泛旧黄，难怪经常瘫痪吧。

 被束缚的一切，空想的一切，鱼缸没有鱼，跳舞紧握的衣服没有人。

 Arlington的手法很清奇。第一段熄灯时还在想Isla下一个故事要讲的是什么，男子是不是要从监控室走出来。谁曾想灯光再次亮起，语言就消失了，但第二个女孩儿的身体承接上来开始叙事。编舞超越了动作本身，让人下意识的跟着女孩儿的呼吸感受她的情感变化，意识大于运动。也不知这段舞蹈是放在中间还是后面更有意思一些。

意识到 Enda和Samuel Beckett都是爱尔兰人，难怪如此荒诞。

在这个社会达尔文主义盛行的川普时代，不知要怎么压榨和泯灭人性才能让人类社会像机器一样转的越来越快。人已经好像已经没有了隐私，你的信息随手可取，可人和人之间却仿佛又是那么的遥远。你没有自我命运主导权的时候，你还有什么？也许只有当人心有些许温暖的时候，才有资格企盼自由吧。企盼去哪里，也许这个理想国就叫Arlington？希望现实里的这个Arlington是真实的。

进剧场发的program里面有两张下面的照片，上面标注是作者的灵感。旁边附上了匈牙利籍犹太诗人Miklos Radnoti的两段诗歌Postcards。写于Miklos被屠杀的那一年（1944）。

Miklos被害18个月之后，被屠杀埋葬尸体的坟墓被挖开，他写诗的小本也得以被发掘。他最著名的组诗系列就是这组叫Razglednicák (Postcards明信片)的组诗，是大屠杀文学中比较重要的一篇。这个系列大致描述了一个他目睹男子被枪杀的过程，进而幻想自己的死亡。

Postcard1:

Out of Bulgaria, the great wild roar of the artillery thunders, resounds on the mountain ridges,rebounds, then ebbs into silence while here men, beasts, wagons andimagination all steadily increase; the road whinnies and bucks, neighing;the maned sky gallops; and you are eternally with me, dear,you abide forever – still, motionless, mute, like an angelstunned to silence by death or a beetle inhabiting the heart of arotten tree.  

Postcard2:

A few miles away they're incinerating the haystacks and the houses, while squatting here on the fringe of this pleasant meadow, the shell-shocked peasants quietly smoke their pipes. Now, here, stepping into this still pond, the little shepherdgirl sets the silver water a-ripple while, leaning over to drink, her flocculent sheep seem to swim like drifting clouds.  

保加利亚之外，雷电如大炮般的咆哮

肆虐的在山谷间回旋翻转

而后，消逝无声

让此地的人、野兽、机械甚至遐想都要蓄势待发

路嘶嘶着，马喧叫着，英俊的鬃毛，飞纵而去

而你会与我，爱，在一起，在那喧杂浮生中，永远

和我那炽热而强烈的，意识，一起生长

某个地方你和我一同，就在那里，待着

静止，无动，蓦然，像一个被死亡惊住的，天使

抑或一支在烂树根里躲藏的甲壳虫

几公里之外，有人在焚烧

甘草和房屋

那些歇工的农民

蹲在青翠的草地边缘

烟雾从他们的烟管里徐徐上腾

此刻，这里，一个牧羊女孩儿，走近了这片静池

银波微漾

依身饮水时，她那群绒绒绵羊

好像天边飘动的云彩

KISEKI Dear to Me: 3.5 CPs + GANGSTER/MOB + SALT DEATH PTSD

Alright guys, temporarily bursting out of hiatus to talk about this show because DAMN if there's anything we know works in BL-land, it's like underworld AU (hello History3: Trapped and KP lmao), and even better if this underworld AU has like DILFs and two familiar actors who WERE FORCED APART in their previous roles and who knows if that'll happen again BUT!

Without further ado...

Title: Kiseki Dear to Me, based on novel Dear to Me by Lin Peiyu Beginning: Aug. 22, 2023, 7PM (GTM+8) Episodes: 13 Total No. of CPs: THREE CONFIRMED + "childhood friends" DILFs

-----------

CP 1: BAD BOY + GOOD STUDENT

Fan Zherui x Bai Zongyi: Fan Zherui, 25 years old, is a gang member who turned to the gangs due to family problems, and one day when he's injured, Bai Zongyi saves him, he falls in love with him and decides to leave the gang, but things go awry when his enemy Zhang Teng (played by Wayne, see CP 3) comes after for revenge. Bai Zongyi is a good student, your cutest boy next door, who is independent and has some PTSD from when he was beaten up in the rain - meets Fan Zherui and for once realises what it means to be loved, to have someone to care for him and more. TWO MEOW MEOWS?! Anyway, Bai Zongyi, according to MDL, will take the rap for some fight for Zherui, and then end up in jail, but then very weirdly the official description says that CP 2's Eddie ends up in jail for Bai Zongyi, I'm a tad confused but WHATEVER we will find out when we watch the damn show.

----

CP 2: ADOPTED SON OF GANG BOSS + CHILDHOOD "YOUNGER BROTHER" PUPPY

Chen Yi x Eddie (Ai Di): They both grew up together with Eddie as the younger 'brother', with Chen Yi being 'adopted' by gang boss Chen Dongyang after his parents, also gang members die to protect the boss. Eddie has been chasing after him for the longest time, and has a sad family background as his parents are druggies and he was only able to grow up well under the protection of Chen Dongyang, and he only listens to Chen Yi. UNREQUITED-REQUITED love, but Eddie sees how Chen Yi feels deeply about Chen Dongyang (I don't know what that means from the description LMAO like??) and decides to leave Chen Yi, and somehow get embroiled in something and ends up in jail for Bai Zongyi. Chen Yi is only just understanding his own feelings for Eddie when Eddie literally goes to jail DOGBLOOD MUCH?! Anyway they will reunite 4 years later.

----

CP 3: MY BAOBEIS?!?!?! MY LOVELIES WHO MADE US GET PTSD OVER SALT?! WILL THESE TWO GANG MEMBERS GET THEIR HAPPILY EVER AFTERS THEY BETTER FUCKING DO

Zhang Teng x A-Jun: BOTH GANG MEMBERS if you couldn't tell from their loud af shirts and thick ass accessories LMAO omg I cannot believe how happy I am to see these two again. A-Jun is Zhang Teng's like follower??? Has been following him since he joined the gang and both fears and reveres him, and Zhang Teng is just angry ball of angst and revenge and vengeance, if you couldn't tell from Wayne's face. I cannot believe they're in a setting! WHERE THEY MIGHT NOT GET GOOD ENDINGS WAS SALT SEPARATION NOT ENOUGH TELL ME YALL

----

CP 3.5: DILFS? "CHILDHOOD FRIENDS" DADS???

Friends yall do not understand how I feel about these two uncles. IF you've ever watched Taiwan family dramas, these two, especially the one on the left Xie Chengjun, is a fucking LEGEND, he's in EVERY SINGLE FAMILY DRAMA all hundreds of episodes of them, he's literally like THE dude to idolise he's been paired up with EVERY SINGLE POPULAR GODDESS ACTRESS in Taiwan - I KID YOU NOT I GREW UP WATCHING HIM on OUR CHANNELS EVERY SINGLE DAY ACROSS 5-7 POPULAR FAM DRAMAS it's been like 20 years ISTG.

Anyway I'm NOT SURE if they are actually going to be a CP at all BUT (1) at press conference this week, these two made kissy faces at each other sooooo...?

Zhou Minglei grew up with Chen Dongyang protecting him as he was a weak and sickly child, so they're childhood friends, and he becomes super unhappy and upset that Chen Dongyang begins to protect and pays attention to Chen Yi ;-; LIKE WHAT IS THIS DESCRIPTION? Okay we could think of this professionally as like two bosses of a gang with their interests at stake BUT THE DESCRIPTION?! And ok Chen Dongyang on the right, he's obviously gang boss, and he relies on Zhou Minglei a lot to fix his problems for him. EXCUSE ME?!

----

The main CPs (1 & 2) are torn apart in a particular fight, and they will reunite 4 years later LET'S SEE HOW THAT GOES THANK YOU.

500% I'll be watching this you bet your damn ass because they better give me happy ending Wayne and Junzhi THIS TIME otherwise they're seriously cursed?!?!?!? No more salt accidents fuck you writer for that ;-; AND IF THE DILF PAIRING COMES TRUE even if just bromance and meaningful side eyes, this bitch will take it.
