Look, that fire

The story begins with playing with fire. Karen asked her lover's younger brother, Baron Bresson, would you like to marry me? For nothing else, you think about my money. The cash-strapped baron might consider it a win-win deal, rather than hanging out with a prostitute, and agree. He went to Africa, to her estate, where he waited for her to get married.
Africa, halfway across the world from northern Europe, is poor and hot, there are savages and beasts, and Karen not only wants to go there, but also wants to marry a man who she doesn't understand at all and doesn't love her at all. This is no fun. What is fire?
She came to Africa in a hurry. There was no sign of her future husband at the station, and he was not at home. When she asked the servant, she told her to go to the club. And when she saw him, he completely ignored her long journey and said the wedding would be held in an hour. After the wedding, she was a baroness.
The wedding brought her only one title, and she had to pay for it on a regular basis. A woman, in a foreign country, has no support and only one husband, but he often wanders outside and does not return all night. It is difficult to see him during the day. He is going to hunt and go to the club to meet friends. He wanted to grow hundreds of acres of coffee on a plateau where coffee had never been grown before. As for finding someone to reclaim wasteland, plant and weed, he threw it to this woman.
Is it to wait for his irregular return every time, every whim of tenderness, or to use his fists to open up a world by himself? The heroine Karen chose the latter. She took root in Africa, growing coffee, learning to hunt, and helping the poor and helpless locals. She was still playing with fire. She ran to the road to meet her husband who didn't love her at all. She fought with the stubborn chief for more support. She also drove an ox cart to the battlefield to deliver supplies to her husband. She lost her way and was ambushed by lions along the way. Countless thrills. She could have lived a quieter life, so she could have been safer.
She is such a woman that if there is a big fire in front of her, not only will she not dodge it, but she will fly towards it and burn like a moth. So she dared to tell the husband who didn't seem to care about her at all, that she fell in love with him, and even if he let her get syphilis, she didn't say anything to accuse her, but she was disheartened and could no longer love him.
When Dennis asked her to go hunting, she hesitated, but think about it, this is another fire, why not try it and see if life will burn again.
A fire will start a journey, there will be sweet love by the bonfire on the coast, there will be candid long conversations at the candlelight table in the forest, and there will be exploring each other's secret thoughts through starlight, the most beautiful , It was by the river that he washed her hair, and the sun was also a fire at that time. Of course, there is an even bigger fire that will burn up all of her life. She will not know what kind of fire will be waiting in front of her.
She only knows that Africa is beautiful, love is beautiful, life can't wait, life must burn. Africa is really beautiful. Dennis took her to the sky in a helicopter. Every frame that followed was full of landscapes, vast grasslands, running beasts, blue sky and white clouds, flying birds, azure lakes, rushing waterfalls... ...Following the person she loves, watching the beautiful scenery, even if life stops at that moment, there is no regret.
Dennis said that Africans only live today, if they are put in prison, they don't think they can be released tomorrow, so they will die. For Africans, there is only today, not tomorrow. Indeed, in a place with a dangerous living environment, it is a miracle to live a good day. Who can guarantee that tomorrow will not feed lions and tigers? They are born with no concept of tomorrow. Are they afraid? In the uncivilized consciousness, fear is probably the same as knowledge. It can't make life any better, and they don't want such things.
That fire really came, and it burned in the night, Karen murmured, it's over, it's over. She has lost everything, and she has to stubbornly push herself to a worse point. She doesn't want that man who comes and goes like the wind. She loves him, but can't have him. She would rather bear the grief alone, and No need for his unwilling mercy and help.
She hoped that the love that had lasted for several years without a fixed place would land, and Dennis, he didn't want to, he had to fly higher and go further. A woman is destined to belong to the earth, and flying is only a short-term withdrawal. Her feet cannot be separated from the land, nor can she be separated from those who need her shelter. A man, on the other hand, is more like a migratory bird. He wants to chase the wider world, and only stops when he can't fly.
So what about love, what should it be like? Should they support each other, share the wind and rain, and get rich together, and then live a normal life, the two of them touch the right hand with their left hand; or should they not restrict each other, you have yours, I have my direction, and only dry firewood and fire when we meet, regardless of firewood, rice, oil, and salt. What should it be like? Perhaps marriage is the former, and love is the latter.
What is the meaning of the existence of another person in life? There is no answer. Karen, who had suffered a change, wanted to return to her hometown and healed under the protection of her relatives and homeland; Dennis, who realized that she could not be alone without Karen, planned to follow Karen, but this legless bird was summoned by the sky to heaven. . Solitude and freedom, need and bondage, the trade-offs and struggles in this are all burned up by a fire, and the love story left behind is a legend in the mouths of others.
The servant said, you need a bigger fire, and I can find you. In the forest before, it was servants who lit a fire in front, and Karen went to find him. This time, he didn't want her to be depressed. He believed that a woman like Karen who couldn't live without fire would definitely ignite a bigger flame to light up the way for others.
Walking into Africa, going out of Africa, spanning more than ten years, is an epic story of a woman's growth. She went from being vain at first to being direct, frank, brave, tenacious, optimistic, and free and easy, to the dangerous world she was in. , with abiding curiosity and enthusiasm. She is worthy of being loved, but powerful enough to be feared to love.
What if it was you, if there was a fire ahead? It's a fire that can burn life and devour all hope. It's burning like that. Do you run away, or jump? Playing with fire, you may set yourself on fire, with a bang, ashes, and nothing will be left. Of course, it is also possible that the soul is guided by the firelight and follows the light and warmth. Even if there are lonely beasts, you can still sleep peacefully. The fire in the dark is the only hope in the wilderness, but it is also the only danger. Do you dare to approach step by step?
Fire is really dangerous. No wonder the gods want to take it back from the world. Prometheus, who stole fire, committed a heinous crime. His liver that was pecked and resurrected was tortured by vultures again and again. The crime of stealing fire Unforgivable. With fire, darkness and loneliness may cease to be a deterrent and a threat. But what the gods don't know is that human beings are animals who can play with fire and burn themselves. Without punishment from God, he may put out the fire but save his life and save the time of the gods.
We are all travelers looking for love and hope with torches. If, in the vast wilderness, you see a big fire burning in front of you, it is not far ahead, do you have the courage to die?
Look at that fire! Congratulations, you can encounter a fire in your lifetime and when you are young.

    I used to have a farm in Africa where I grew coffee beans and treated black children. I met a lover in Africa who was striving for freedom and loved animals more than people. I once wrote a song in Africa, where is the dead land, where is the pure morning dew. I am always empty-handed because I have touched everything. I always set off again and again, because everything is uglier than Africa.
