British patient: At the end of the sky, where is Xiangqiu?

Don't say I'm just a cold-eyed spectator, in their stories, I shed my own tears.
The vast and vast desert, the clear blue sky, and the free and unruly wind.
He is wise and arrogant, she is beautiful and quiet, two equally noble souls.
I bumped into their encounter, saw the gleam of their eyes, heard their heart-pounding voices, got insight into a fatal encounter, and grieved a love that depended on life and death.
I can see their inner conflicts and struggles under the calm exterior, understand every word they want to say and then understand why they are timid and hurt each other. And when the carefully guarded masks finally fell into mud, through the tears of compassion, I witnessed that they were deeply in love, and their spiritual desires were united.
I pity them being teased by love and becoming less like me. His wit was thwarted and his grace was lost; she was weak and pale, reproachful and gloomy. Temptation, hesitation, restraint, out of control, approaching, leaving... all kinds of weirdness all stem from love.
After all, there is still no escape, the fate of the ending. Death took her away, and fire burned him. The love that was so unforgettable in the past turned into a broken book in the end. He slept quietly in her last words, and went to a land where he could love her freely. However, who really knows - "at the end of the sky, where is the fragrant hill?"
All those who use such feelings, please take this as a warning. Before the flames of love, please stop and think: Can you endure the calamities of love and finally attain Nirvana after destruction?
PS. Catherine's last words are really classic, and they are specially transcribed here:
We die, we die rich with lovers and tribes, tastes we have swallowed, bodies we have entered and swum up like rivers, fears we have hidden in like this wretched cave. I want all this marked on my body. We are the real countries , not the boundaries drawn on maps with names of powerful men. I know you will come and carry me out into the palace of winds, that's all I've wanted- to walk in such a place with you, with friends, on the earth without maps.

    Saw the movie very early and was very impressed with the letter from Catherine at the end.
