“你要替思琪上大学，念研究所，谈恋爱，结婚，生小孩，也许会被退学，也许会离婚，也许会死胎，但是，思琪连那种最庸俗、呆钝、刻板的人生都没有办法经历。你懂吗？你要经历并牢牢记住她所有的思想，思绪，感情，感觉，记忆与幻想，她的爱，讨厌，恐惧，失重，荒芜，柔情和欲望，你要紧紧拥抱着思琪的痛苦，你可以变成思琪，然后，替她活下去，连思琪的分一起好好地活下去。You must go to college for Si-qi, go on to postgraduate studies, fall in love, get married, have children for her. Perhaps you’ll drop out, perhaps you’ll get divorced, perhaps your child will die before birth. But Si-qi will not even have the chance to experience the most ordinary, dull, stereotypical parts of human life. Do you understand? You must experience and remember all of her thoughts, emotions, feelings, memories, and fantasies, her love, hate, fear, her vertigo and loneliness, desire and tenderness. You must hold on tightly to Si-qi’s pain. You can turn into her, and then, live on for her. Take what was taken from her, and live well.”
