Song of Everlasting Regret review
The reason I like it is that all the works written by Wang Anyi are substantial and the number of words is not limited
A wise man never falls in love
When a woman - especially a beautiful woman - falls in love with a man - especially a man who once loved her but later abandoned her for various reasons, she will suffer heart-pounding pain. If something like this happens again and again, then her heart will continue to bear the pain in her heart until it is riddled with wounds... Therefore, a wise man does not fall in love. Even if a wise man falls in love with the person he thinks is right, he will face it calmly and no longer be persistent when fate ends. Good love does not make people suffer. Love that makes people suffer is definitely not good love, and there is no need to regret losing it. Love is not a necessity in life. Love is a luxury in life. A person may not encounter good love in his whole life. But without love, is it necessary to be unhappy? When a person is immersed in a bad love, it is really heartbreaking and painful! Encountering good love is like winning a lottery ticket, it is one's luck. Where in the world can everyone buy lottery tickets and win big prizes? More people won't win the jackpot! Aren't they happy? In life, happiness is the most important thing! Love is hard to come by! Just let it happen!
