About This Novel
There is a legend about a bird that sings only once in its life, and its song is more beautiful than any song in the world. From the moment it leaves the nest, it is looking for a thorn tree, and does not rest until it finds what it wants. Then, it plunged its body into the longest and sharpest thorn, and let loose its voice among the wild branches. In its dying moments, it transcended its own pain, and its song eclipsed both the skylark and the nightingale. This is an extremely beautiful song, and the song ends with death. However, the whole world is still listening, and God is smiling in the sky. Because the best things can only be exchanged for deep pain and great trauma... Or so the legend goes.

What does it mean to be desperate?
Meggie's thorn is Ralph, and Ralph's thorn is the contradiction between his love for Meggie and his love for his career. Paddy's is the pursuit of Fei's love, Fei's obsession with a married man, and Zhu Siting's is the protection of her younger brother. The villain Luke even has a desire for Meggie's body and an attempt on Meggie's money. The narrow-minded Mary Carson also has resentment towards the growing relationship between Meggie and Ralph. The most unbearable thorn is probably Dane's. Because, his life experience is actually a sin in the world. Perhaps, this is a religious topic. Dane's thorn is his identity, and it is also the fusion of the blood left by each other after Ralph and Meggie's thorns stabbed each other to death. It is the product of desperation. "The bird carries thorns on its chest, and it follows an unchangeable law. She was pierced by something unknown, driven, and died singing. At the moment when the thorns penetrated, she did not realize that death was coming. She just sang and sang until her life was exhausted. , We can no longer sing a note. When we pierce the thorns into our chests, we know it, but we still have to do it. However, we still have to pierce the thorns into our chests. "
reality
In fact, Ralph is also very happy. He has both physical love and soul love. Even soul love is heavier than physical love. This book is very true and basically recounts the hardships experienced in life. The following is my favorite page.
There is a legend about a bird that sings only once in its life, and its song is more beautiful than any song in the world. From the moment it leaves the nest, it searches for a thorn tree until it finds one.
Has anyone ever understood the sorrow of an old woman with wrinkles on her face but falling in love with an eighteen-year-old boy, and the torment in her heart?
There is something in each of us that we don't want to let go of, even if it makes us miserable. We are who we are, that's all. Just like the bird with thorns on its chest in the ancient Celtic legend, it cried out with blood, vomited out its bloody heart and died. Because it has to be, it's forced. Some things we know won't work, but we still do it. But being self-aware doesn't affect or change the outcome of things, right? Everyone was singing their own little tune, believing it to be the most beautiful sound the world had ever heard. Don't you see? We create our own thorn bushes and never stop to count their costs. All we do is endure the pain and tell ourselves that it was well worth it.
Um. . . . . I don't have much to say, it's just a good-looking movie. If you like it, it's good-looking. If you don't like it, I won't watch it even if it's good.

Although I didn't finish it because it was so expensive, it's very interesting!
A legend, a story, a tragedy
