I love you so much Mingming.

(Malu grasps Mingming.)

Mingming: You finished writing your poem. It's beautiful, what a shame.

(A searchlight suddenly shines in. A siren wails. Many people rush into the

rhinoceros enclosure. They look upon the scene dumbfounded, not actually

daring to approach.)

Police: Malu, release the hostage immediately. Raise your hands in the air

and surrender. We've got you surrounded!

Heizi and the others: Malu!

(Malu all is aloof to what is happening around him. He hugs Mingming

Mingming sits motionless; her eyes stare off into the distance. She suddenly

starts to sing.)

Mingming:

Smile at me, like when we met for the first time

Speak to me, even if your vows change tomorrow

Hold me tight, on this night that's so cold

Think of me, in that year you began to feel old

The years that will pass will pass,

In the end it will only be me by your side.

The years that will pass will pass,

In the end it will only be me by your side.

Smile at me, like when we met for the first time

Speak to me, even if your vows change tomorrow

Hold me tight, on this night that's so cold

Think of me, in that year you began to feel old.

Mingming and Malu:

You were different, unique, soft, clean like the sky.

You were my warm glove, my ice-cold beer.

You carried the fragrance of a shirt laundered in the sun; you were a

never-ending dream.

You were chaste, naive, like glass.

You were chaste, naive, nothing could dirty you.

You were chaste, naive, nothing could change you,

Sunlight passed through you and changed its direction

My love, my love, my love, my love.

End
