她是广州一个酒吧的驻唱。总是一头短发，清秀的脸庞，又爱喝威士忌，像一个男孩子，很多人都叫她Danny Boy. 2020年11月20日晚，她说要离开广州了。为什么想离开？“因为在这里看不见星星，这里的车不让人，这里的夏天太长，这里的楼总是一个劲地往上长。”她说话就像唱歌一样。她还说她属于森林，那里有夜莺和狼嚎。但也许这些都不是原因，她只是喝多了。在她决定离开的前一天晚上，有一个老人来酒吧找她。那个人点了一杯苏格兰威士忌，喝了一大口，又拿出一张长发少女的照片，问：“请问见过这个孩子吗？" 

Guangzhou, I’m leaving now. I was hit by a ray of moon last night. I wanted to sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, only to find the stars were missing. If the skyline was glowing, how come the stars were not twinkling?

Guangzhou, I’m leaving now. I don’t belong here. My sword is too sharp, it misses all the spines, thorns, and prickles like a wolf misses a howl. The spirit inside of me belongs to a forest, a big one, with stars in the sky, and lullabies from the nightingales.

Guangzhou, I’m leaving now. I was under an order to make this city beautiful. I brought whiskey, jazz, and Monet—trying to add a little texture to it. I looked around: cars were racing, people were swearing, rap music was blasting, concrete boxes were soaring, and they cheer this never-ending summer. But I’m only a moon-kissed girl. 

Guangzhou, I am leaving now. This is my last shot of whiskey. An old man walked into a bar last night, he ordered a scotch, took a long sip, and asked, “I’m looking for a girl.” He is looking for me, and I am drinking my memory away. You pulled the trigger, you broke my heart,  and I, on the contrary, will never stop loving you. 

曲毕，愿天下所有Danny Boys看得见星星。
