Marriage is like a gold-painted birdcage. The birds outside the cage want to live in it, and the birds inside the cage want to fly out. Therefore, there is no end after marriage and separation. " Miss Su said: "There is also such a saying in France. However, it is not a birdcage, but a besieged castle. People outside the city want to rush in, and people in the city want to escape. --Excerpted from the original text of Besieged City The writing is very good, and the metaphors in it are really apt. It is refreshing and gives people something to learn and understand. Irony runs through the entire text, prompting reflection and emotion. There is a kind of black humor. The storyline is coherent and dramatic. The characterization is very real and penetrating. You can see your own shadow on them and the shadows around you. Keep reading, and you will gain something. At least you will gain the sense of accomplishment of reading a good book, right? [Emot=default,05/]
