Abstract
(Inscription on the jade stone rejected by the goddness Nu Wa when she repaired the sky [from “A Dream of Red Mansions” by Tsao Hsueh-Chin; Foreign Language Press, Beijing 1978]).
“The evolution of the world can be compared to a display of fireworks that has just ended: some few red wisps, ashes, and smoke. Standing on a cooled cinder, we see the slow fading of the suns, and we try to recall the vanishing brilliance of the origin of the worlds.”
G. Lemaitre
“Unfit to mend the azure sky, I passed some years to no avail. My life in both worlds written here, whom can I ask to pass it on?”
