It's said that at the time the universe was created,a goddess named Nuwa was born.She was in charge of all living creatures great and small and was destined to bring vitality to this desolate land.As long as she passed by,flowers would bloom and birds would sing sweetly.Thanks to her great love and blessing,the world became full of life.She is actually the mother of all the life.
However,as the world was at its begining,there was no enough gods to maintain its regulation but too many demons which brought disaster and misery to all creatures.Suffering was everywhere.As all the livings just liked her children,Nuwa could feel their suffering.Each time she saw some creatures in pain,she would be very sad and streamed with tears.Because the tears contained her universal love and all-encompassing compassion ,the land which her tears dropped down upon would be revitalised.Wither trees would grow new buds.Faded flowers would get a new lease of life.And dead animals could back to life again.So magical her tears is,as great as her fraternily.
One day,Nuwa passed by human being' tribe and saw some people died in the disastar.Their relatives was crying bitterly aroud the lifeless bodies.Out of great compassion,she well out tears.As soon as her tears dropped down, all the dead were revived.All the people were shocked by this strange and formidable lady.They prostrated themselves in worship and chanted"holy goddess" except one person stood beside.
He was stunned by the scene and totally attracted by this fairy lady.You may wonder why he dare to stand by while others all kneel down.Because he was also a great one.He is called Fuxi,the king of all the original human being,who used to be a god but rebirth as the wisest human later. He was destined to lead all the human being to live a happy life .
Fuxi invited Nuwa to their tribe and human all around offered the best food to Nuwa to show their worship.Nuwa was happy to be welcomed and respected by these special creatures.She was also curious about human's life thus decided to stay at the tribe for a few day.However,as time went by,she indeed lived a happy life with human so that she ignored how many days had gone.And Fuxi was always accompanied with her.
When their days turned into months,Nuwa found that Fuxi was different from others.He was the king of all the human being and deeply loved all his people. Just like Nuwa's, his fraternity was also as great as the sky. Attracted by the common thought of each other,they fell in love.Their marrige is sweet.On the one hand,they show the universal love to their people,just like the greatest god.On the other hand,they cherished their private love to each other,like the commonest couple.Under Fuxi and Nuwa's leadship,human being lived better and better.
Several years after their marrige, all the gods decided to carried out a devastating blow on demons. In desperation,demons launched revenge crazily.Human's tride was also involved. To protect his people, Fuxi led his warriors into the war. In the fierce battle, Fuxi was seriously injured.When he was carried to Nuwa,he was to die.
Seeing her lover was badly wounded, Nuwa,who was in great grief, burst into tears right away.However,as her tears dropped down upon Fuxi's body.Her lover didn't get recovered as its suppose.Why?Bcause the tears dropped down before was out of her universal love,those were goddess' tears thus magical. However,the tears that dropped on Fuxi was out of her individual love.these were a common woman's tears. And at present,Nuwa wasn't the great goddess, but Fuxi wife,no more than the commonest women.Finally, Fuxi died before Nuwa. A great goddess who could raise every creature from death cannot save the man she loved.Isn't it ridiculous?
Therefore,we could say that the great goddess Nuwa doesn't have any private love but her universal love.
This is a story made up by me.Don't try to search its origin.(此文纯粹杜撰,莫问其源)
