I've never been able to figure out exactly why people fall in love with another person. I guess maybe we all have a gap in our hearts, blowing cold wind into our souls, and we urgently need a heart with the right shape to fill it. Even if you are a perfect circle like the sun, the gap in my heart may just be a crooked zigzag shape, and you can't fill it. In the article, the Manchu princess agreed to marry Weddington just because she was grateful for his life-saving help and thought he was a good person; Walter knew that Katie was vulgar, vain, and a second-rate thing but still loved her; Katie found Charlie charming and charming and was intoxicated by it; Mrs. Justin hoped to marry her husband for status... From beginning to end, everyone is covered with a hazy and distinctive veil. However, uncovering these layers of veil is a cruel and indifferent psychological journey, which is particularly heart-breaking. Ask about love: It is not difficult to see that a person will not fall in love with another person because of his beautiful qualities. It seems that loving someone is blind and selfish. Just like after Katie arrived in the cholera area, although people admired Walter's noble character, and Katie gradually realized the gentle and deep love underneath Walter's unsmiling skin, it was a pity that Katie did not fall in love with Walter until her death, no matter what admirable character he had. Yes, even the dedicated, affectionate, honest and upright Walter only fell in love with Katie, a second-rate thing that she had already seen through. After thinking about it for a long time, I felt more and more that each of them was illusory and elusive. At this point, as a human being, it is not difficult to ask this question - why do people fall in love with someone? Why can't you fall in love with a noble, excellent, and loyal person who is devoted to you? Why would a pervert be tempted by a hypocritical, cunning, and selfish preface? People are not attracted by good character but are greedy for flashy skin. There is no doubt that Katie's good-looking skin has given Katie a lot of conveniences, and she can easily capture the love and flattery of men, but she has never realized that flattery can make people unable to see the reality clearly. Over time, they either become impetuous or lose patience and cannot calm themselves down. Over and over again, they end up getting carried away by false flattery. In that era, it seemed that love was never worthy of being cherished, pursued or even praised. Love at that time was like a plump head, filled with everyone's desires, ambitions, status, interests, laziness, and fear, and became rusty and unbearable to touch. In those youthful and ignorant years, I always felt that I had to be with the other person because of love, and I couldn't bear to choose each other because of the right match or morality. Now I feel that there are some moments when both of them are happy to protect the person they love and stay together without feeling bored. Even considering many factors that led to the original choice of each other, people must be happy to accept it in this impetuous world. On the long-distance road of life, growth makes us tend to compromise step by step, but this is not a sad compromise, but a compromise of inner peace.

The title of the book is Veil, about which I have some self-righteous understanding. First, it is an impenetrable veil used to cover up one's nature. The veil is still a veil, and the outlines of ugliness can still be seen. Second, the veil itself is the ugliness that blocks the truth, goodness and beauty of human beings. When this veil is lifted, people can return to themselves. But let's not forget that Katie's ending negates this idea. Even if the veil is lifted, the face is not that beautiful. Human nature is ugly. By emphasizing this fact, Maugham probably wants us to really look directly at our own ugliness. The nun in the monastery said this: "Inner peace cannot be found at work." So, if a person wants to gain inner peace, he must look directly at his own ugliness, that is, accept his past, good or bad. This veil is a two-way street. If you use the veil to block the prying eyes of others, it will be difficult for you to see the reality of the world. Between life and death, between the vast world and the narrow people, Katie had an epiphany: all people, and even the entire human race, are like water drops in this river, flowing indefinitely. The drops are close to each other, but far away from each other, forming an unknown huge current and rushing towards the sea. Since everything is fleeting and nothing is of great importance, people still want to focus absurdly on trivial things. Allow yourself and others to suffer misfortune. This is so sad. However, when Katie realized this, Walter contracted the plague and died. Walter experimented on himself, and actually died of a broken heart. Before Walter died, he said, "It was the dog that died." The second half of the book focuses on Katie's inner transformation. She didn't love Walter in the end, but she sincerely wanted to reduce the hidden burden in Walter's heart. Mother Superior asked Katie to remember that fulfilling your responsibilities is nothing. It is a requirement of you, just like washing your hands when they are dirty is not commendable. The only thing that matters is to love your responsibility. When love and responsibility become one, God's grace will come to you, and you will enjoy knowledge and happiness beyond all else.

You use a veil to cover others from prying eyes, and it is difficult for you to see the reality of the world.

I feel that the movie is better than the book, and the movie has all the parts that are not in the book.

I like the heroine and wish her to finally gain inner peace. This is a happiness that many people cannot achieve in their lifetime.

A book recommended by a girl I like, I want to read it

I watched this movie a long time ago, and it has always left a deep impression in my heart. The heroine's initial self-will was quietly wiped clean by her husband's silently hidden love. In the end, she understood love, but lost her love. It is a very sad story.

It's so heavy. To exchange one's life for something, the price is too high. Live well and take good care of yourself in your limited life.

Personally, I feel that this translator's translation is not very good. After reading Mr. Zhang and Mr. Long's translation, I feel that it is far from the best.

Katie is unfortunate but also lucky. Her living environment created her selfish and perverse character. Later she realized what love is, so she became strong, brave and independent.
