Plague [Chinese]

By Albert Camus

If the plague were to recede and disappear, the departed souls would be powerless to return to the world. Those who survived this war would look back and realize with a start that they had always been alone. How to face their own shadows, how to define life, would become eternal questions after the storm had passed. From that moment on, everyone could be said to be inextricably linked to the plague, and the first thing the plague brought to people was exile. Indeed, the lingering emptiness in one's heart, the real emotional fluctuations, the delusion of time turning back or fast-forwarding, the memories that pierce the heart like a thousand arrows--these are indeed the feelings of exile. Sometimes, we would fall into fantasy, joyfully waiting for the doorbell to ring or the familiar footsteps in the stairwell of our loved ones returning home. In that moment, we would forget that the train had stopped running, deliberately choosing to stay at home at the time when the night express train used to carry passengers into the city.
