慢遞員colourBIG在泰國的low-budget旅行後安全回到中國，並順道到展銷場的長洲島轉運中心完成慢遞任務；她在沙漠中的AYESHA交接時認識了一個游擊隊戰士，其它信息就不公開了，但是派送了之後colourBIG發現她不小心留了夾在書中游擊隊朋友送給她的一小張畫
COURIER colourBIG arrives safely back to China after her low-budget travels in Thailand, and drops by the Display Distribute relay centre on Changzhou Island to make the final delivery; she accidentally leaves a drawing given to her by a guerrilla fighter met during her handover meeting with AYESHA in DESERT, other details of which are not to be disclosed publicly
I came to Thailand flustered and upset, there were too many people and too many relationships back home making me want to flee. Originally I was going to go to Zimbabwe, but the stars weren't aligned and ended up in Thailand. Behind a language barrier smoke screen, I volunteered for a newly initiated mushroom farm NGO, where I met up with my partner, but this only added to my chaos, and while in a daze at the mushroom farm I thought to myself, I'd rather be alone.
I shook off my partner and took off for Chiangmai. While on the road, I noticed a nice hair salon and went inside, ended up staying with the hair stylist for two nights, getting high on mushrooms and weed. We ran around all over the place, and he got in a sweat losing track of me a couple of times. I had been running wild through a field of grass taller than me, there I didn't see anyone nor any strange visions, but there was a blurry thought in my head: All the things and answers I want have already happened, but I simply had not noticed before. There isn't anything new anymore. That night, high again, the hair stylist was talking endlessly about Buddhism, and I became so dizzy I had to go to the toilet to vomit. A kind of unsettled feeling curled up around me and layed down in his hair salon and said, "Night stop, let him leave me alone." He was really terrified and said he wanted to sleep next to me—not to have sex. I refused, but he said he liked me and kissed my face, then left. The next day, I knew I had to leave. My chaos created even more chaos, so this time I fled to a temple instead.
The first thing I saw at the temple was a group of white people dressed in white clothing chattering. The volunteer at the front entrance smirked at me, making me suspicious of what kind of Buddha she followed. A Chinese person asked me whether or not I was chinese, and a Hongkonger heard that I have a Hong Kong passport and said hello. I grew tense, didn't want to stay any longer already. The first day I didn't want to speak to anyone, but by the second day my Asia face was already surrounded by others, 90% of them white. I told them my troubles, and some of them said I was too young, that it doesn't matter. Others called me Bodhisattva. Since I already came this far, I shouldn't waste the money I've spent, so on the third day I asked a monk to take me to to another mountain to meditate.
You know what happened next? There was a small monk hidden in this other mountain, imperceptible. But I knew it was him, and I began to ask him what he thought of the male monks here, eating meat and asking others to worship them? It turns out that he was from an anarchist organisation in Germany, but had fled to this haven in a depression about the increasingly right-wing world around him. The things that were happening everyday challenged the limits of this extreme leftist. So we found in one another someone with whom we could finally let off steam--this fucking temple let privileged white people take over the place, using only one hour of their working salary to pay for a whole night's stay. These people who have plundered the most resources come to Thailand to practice Buddhism, loftily holding up a pile of flags and talking about world peace. But wasn't it also you all and your lack of reflecting upon your privilege that lead to war? It's so laughable. We talked on and on. The next day, he sent me a message, thanking me, and said he had decided to leave the mountain. He wanted to return to his group.
I also left the mountain, and randomly got to Pai, casually contacted a place where I could stay for free in exchange for work. It turned out to be an old hippie who grew weed at home. He let me do whatever I wanted there, and I opened up again, Mary, I've come around, I understand clearly.
I realised why I had wanted to leave home, and I also knew what I had to do when I got back. All the answers were within my life already, and I'm already fulfilling them.
