The furthest distance in the world is not the distance between life and death.
It's that I'm standing in front of you, but you don't know that I love you.
The furthest distance in the world is not that I'm standing in front of you, but you don't know that I love you.
It's that I'm obsessed with you, but I can't say that I love you.
The furthest distance in the world is not that I can't say that I love you.
It's that I want you to feel heart-wrenching pain, but you can only bury it deep in your heart.
The furthest distance in the world is not that I can't say that I miss you.
It's that we love each other, but we can't be together.
The furthest distance in the world is not that we love each other, but we can't be together.
It's that we clearly love each other, but we pretend that we don't care.
…
The furthest distance in the world is the distance between a bird and a fish,
One soars in the sky,
The other dives deep into the sea!

Lu Chen wrote a poem on his blog. The poem was called "The furthest distance in the world".
At the end of this blog post, he wrote: I dedicate this poem to all the fans of "Autumn in My Heart". I wish all the lovers in the world can be together, and true love will not be separated by distance!
Due to the finale of "Autumn in My Heart", Lu Chen's blog became the focus of countless people that night. Therefore, when he posted this poem blog post, it immediately attracted a lot of clicks, comments, and forwards.
To this day, no one could doubt Lu Chen's talent in music. Not only did he sing, but he also composed and wrote lyrics. All of his works were written by himself, and he never lent them to others.
A "Autumn in My Heart" has let everyone see his strength in literary creation and performance. As a rising star in the circle, Lu Chen's rise and popularity is really convincing. (TN: Romance in My Heart)
But critics will always exist, whether they are jealous, jealous, or have ulterior motives. There is no shortage of voices criticizing Lu Chen on blogs, and the main firepower hit his serialized novel "Autumn in My Heart". (TN: Romance in My Heart)
What melodramatic, hypocritical, deliberately sensational … There were so-called literati who disdained Lu Chen's novels.
Lu Chen never responded to these voices of doubt and criticism.
If he remained unknown, then no one would criticize him at all. Since he had stepped into the entertainment industry, wanting to be liked by everyone was undoubtedly a fool's dream!
He did his own things seriously and worked hard to manage his own business.
This "The Furthest Distance in the World" was Lu Chen's first real poem.
In his dream world, there were many stories to this poem. The original creator had many different opinions, and then after it was spread on the Internet, it derived many versions, becoming a classic that countless people were familiar with.
Lu Chen used this song to complete the final promotion of "Autumn in My Heart". It was a remembrance and a memorial.
There was a distance in the world that was even more distant than life and death. It was not a distance that spanned the past and the present in time, nor was it a distance that encompassed the universe in space. Instead, it was a distance that was the hardest to cross, the distance between hearts.
Life and death was a distance that could never be merged. Although they were close at hand, they were like strangers. This was the distance between the heart of an unrequited lover and the person he loved.
Love but could not get along. Lovers could not get married. This was an eternal regret.
The distance between lovers, obviously in love but pretending not to care, was contradictory and painful. It was a distance that defied the sincerity. Even further than this was the indifference of the heart. It was the contempt for love. In the face of the person who loved you, you resolutely dug a ditch that could not be crossed, and rejected love far away from the furthest distance in the world.
Distance could produce beauty, but the furthest distance in the world was painful.
Lu Chen wanted this TV series and this poem to let people understand how precious and rare it was to be able to be together and love each other. Cherish what you have, so that you would not regret after losing it.
He wanted this Valentine's Day to have a different meaning because of his existence!
The reputation of a good poem needed time to ferment. But for the fans, especially the true fans, this "The Furthest Distance in the World" had undoubtedly given them the most special feeling. It had instantly struck them in the heart.
Especially after they just watched the finale of "Autumn in My Heart".
The feeling was especially deep.
"The furthest distance in the world is when I am standing in front of you, but you do not know that I love you!"
"Xiaolan, I love you!"
"I really want to cry. Big Lu Chen, you are so bad. Why did you do this!"
"This is the saddest Valentine's Day I have ever had."
"I think the meaning of this poem is to let us cherish the people around us, and understand that true love is hard to find."
"Good poem doesn't need to explain."
Many fans left comments under Lu Chen's poem. The number of comments, likes, and forwards kept rising.
Some bloggers who did not listen to Lu Chen's songs and had not seen "Autumn in My Heart" had deep feelings when they saw "The Furthest Distance in the World" forwarded by others.
In today's era, poets were a very different existence, even the object of ridicule.
Especially modern poetry, in the eyes of many people, was a particularly niche and boring thing. It belonged to the self-entertainment of a small group of literati. So much so that some people said that as long as you knew how to hit enter, you could write poetry.
The era of poetry had long gone. A great variety of entertainment filled the lives of modern people. Their spiritual needs no longer needed to be satisfied through poetry.
And really good poetry, poetry that could touch people's hearts, was also on the verge of extinction!
Lu Chen's "The Furthest Distance in the World" was undoubtedly able to make people's eyes light up. It was meaningful and profound. For those who understood poetry, it was simply deafening.
However, good poetry was a necessity. So other than Lu Chen's fans, other people's evaluation was still brewing. But the influence had already been produced, and it was spreading at an alarming speed.
After posting this poem blog post, Lu Chen did not continue to pay attention to his blog. He turned off his computer and cooked some supper to appease his hunger. Then he went to the bathroom to take a hot shower.
Valentine's Day 2016, just like that.
Pa! Pa!
Just as he was about to lie in bed to rest, there was a sudden knock on his door.
Who could it be so late?
Lu Chen did not think about it and went straight to open the door.
The next moment, a delicate figure suddenly jumped into his arms. A familiar fragrance rushed into his nose.
Lu Chen instinctively hugged this uninvited guest, only to hear an intoxicating whisper in his ear.
"I love you!"
Hearing this voice, Lu Chen felt as if he had the whole world in his hands.
There was nothing else to ask for.
