American comics: A salted fish becomes a saint by hanging up

Emma looked at him, seeing the affection and memory in his eyes. "You and your mother must have had a very special relationship," she said gently. "I can sense that special feeling in you."

Lin Nan smiled, his eyes full of warmth and gratitude. "Yes, I am lucky to have such a mother." He said, "Her teaching and love are an important part of my growth."

“She has always encouraged me to pursue my dreams and stick to my beliefs.” Lin Nan continued to share, “No matter what difficulties I encounter, she always supports me and gives me the strength to face everything.”

Emma felt the determination and perseverance in his words. "Your mother has had a great influence on you," she said admiringly. "Your achievements and your current strength are all due to her teaching and care."

Lin Nan nodded, his heart filled with gratitude. "She is one of the most important pillars of my life." He said sincerely, "I hope to repay her selfless dedication to me one day."

On the train, after Lin Nan and Emma talked about their mothers and childhood memories, the topic involuntarily turned to a more profound and sensitive topic - love and loss.

Lin Nan's voice was a little low, and he said quietly: "My mother left us when I was very young."

Emma felt his sadness and the pain of his memories, and she gently held his hand in silent support.

"I lost her company when I was very young." Lin Nan continued, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, "but her love and teachings will always remain in my heart."

Emma did not interrupt him, but listened quietly. She could understand his longing for his mother and his deep feelings of loss.

"My mother's influence on me is profound and lasting no matter what," Lin Nan continued, his tone firm, "She taught me how to love and how to cherish every moment of my life."

Emma said softly, "She must be so proud of what you have become and your inner strength."

Lin Nan smiled and looked at her gratefully. "Thank you, Emma." He said, "Your understanding and support make me feel very warm."

Their conversation slowly moved away from memories of loss and toward a more positive and warm subject - love. Recognizing that this was a special moment, Emma decided to continue the conversation.

"What do you think about love?" Emma asked, trying to understand this complex and universal subject from his perspective.

Lin Nan pondered for a moment, then said: "Love is a kind of unconditional dedication and sacrifice. It is not only an emotion, but also a kind of power."

"It can drive us to do things that we normally think are impossible. We are willing to give everything for the people we care about." Lin Nan continued, his eyes flashing with a deep understanding of love.

Emma smiled and nodded. She could feel the sincerity and awe of love in his words. "You are right. Love is one of the most powerful emotions we humans have." She agreed. "It can give us strength and help us find meaning in life."

On the train, when Lin Nan and Emma were talking about love, Emma's topic turned in an unexpected direction.

"I think love is actually hate," Emma said, her voice a little heavy and thoughtful. "Sometimes we love someone deeply, but feel angry and painful because of their actions or choices."

Lin Nan looked at her in surprise. He had not expected her to have such a view. "You mean, love and hate can exist at the same time?" He tried to understand her point of view.

Emma nodded. "Yes, I don't think love and hate are mutually exclusive emotions. Sometimes we love someone deeply, but feel angry and hurt because of their actions or choices. These conflicting emotions are intertwined in our hearts."

Lin Nan was silent for a while, and he began to think about Emma's words. "Perhaps, love and hate are indeed related to each other on some level." He finally said, "We have deep feelings for each person in a relationship, and these feelings may not only be simple likes or dislikes."

Emma continued: "And sometimes we feel this way about ourselves too. We love our dreams and ideals, but at the same time we can feel self-doubt and discontent because of our own shortcomings or disappointments."

Lin Nan listened, and he could sense the depth and complexity of her words. "This is indeed an interesting and profound insight," he said. "Perhaps the boundaries between love and hate are not so clear, and they may be more complex and multidimensional manifestations of the emotional world."

On the train, Emma reveals the source of her motivation: she has been struggling to maintain a long-distance relationship with a postman.

"Although this long-distance relationship is full of challenges, he is my motivation to persevere." Emma said, with determination and tenderness in her voice, "Although we are separated by distance, each other's support and love will bring us together."

Lin Nan felt the deep affection and persistence in her words. "You must have a deep love for each other," he said. "This kind of belief and support can help you overcome all difficulties."

Emma smiled and nodded, "Yes, we support each other and pursue our dreams together. Even though we are separated by distance, our hearts are always closely connected."

"He is a postman who brings me a letter every day. This is the main way for us to keep in touch." Emma continued, her eyes flashing with expectation and determination for the future, "Every letter is like a ray of light, illuminating my way forward."

Lin Nan looked at her with emotion. He understood how much she valued and cherished this relationship. "Your love is so beautiful and firm." He said, "He must be very lucky to have such a firm partner like you."

Emma smiled and said, "Thank you for your blessing. Although this long-distance relationship is not easy, we believe in each other and believe that our love can overcome everything."

They continued to share stories about love, perseverance and faith on the train. As Lin Nan listened to Emma's words, he felt her passion for love and hope for the future, which made him more determined to help her complete their mission and return to the original timeline.

On an ordinary night, Lin Nan was lying on the sofa, flipping through the latest issue of Spider-Man. His apartment was filled with all kinds of American comic books, and there were posters of his favorite characters hanging on the wall. The night outside the window was getting darker, the hustle and bustle of the city was gradually fading, and only Lin Nan's heart was still throbbing with the ups and downs of the plot.
