This is the most beautiful book I have ever read on this website. When I saw Lianqiu's death at the end, I burst into tears. I felt unspeakable sadness because I saw love, which we living in modern times may never be able to have! Can't help but feel even sadder!
I don't know how to evaluate it, but the content of this book is very sad and miserable. Love was really too elusive in that era. The love between the actor and the warlord is really touching, but the ending is very tragic. I want to emo [almost cry] [cry]
The language style is elegant and unique, short but rich in content, the characters are delicately portrayed, the plot is twists and turns, and the theme is profound and thought-provoking. I think the biggest highlight of this book is the historical background of the Republic of China. It is not only about small love, but also about great love and helplessness. Some of the words come from ancient books, and the intonation characteristics of the characters' speeches also have the characteristics of the times. It can be seen that the author has put a lot of effort into it. The character of Yan Jinghua is very fascinating. He is extremely responsible both for the motherland and Chen Lianqiu. There is no loss of great love even if there is little love. Cheng Qiulian is very sensitive and delicate. Because of his lack of experience and knowledge, he always feels insecure. But he also has a certain ability to judge right from wrong. After all, he refused when Cheng San asked him to serve the Japanese officer. He doesn't have a "God's perspective" like us readers, so there's nothing wrong with his pretentiousness and small-mindedness.
It's pretty good-looking, but I don't know why Lianqiu is so obsessed with the people in Feng Yuan Tower. Although love in the Republic of China is very sad, if he can let go of Feng Yuan Tower, will he be able to stay with Jinghua. But if he lets go, he won't be the Lianqiu that Jinghua likes. [Crying] No one asked, no one said [face covering]
The writing is super, super, super good, the story is beautiful, the plot is sweet, and the plot is sadistic. Although it is only a few tens of thousands of words, it has written a love full of nostalgia and reluctance. The ending of be is heartbreaking. If they can be allowed to live in a peaceful era, the ending may be different. Describe this story in a few words: Love? Deeply loved. Sad? Grief. Beautiful? Beautiful. Deep? Profound. Regret? Pity. Is it possible to change? No.
The story is simple, but after reading it, I felt full of melancholy The writing style is simple, but it expresses true feelings There are too many regrets and misfortunes between Lianqiu and Jinghua But they love each other to the core. If it is true as the book says: they have an afterlife Then they must be very happy in the next life This book is only six chapters long, but it contains all the pure love between Qiu Lian and Jinghua. The author is very good at writing and can make people feel their own feelings. This is something that many other authors cannot do. It can be said that this book can become the first and only top 1 book since joining the Western Persimmon Cake.
Love in the Republic of China was tragic in nine cases out of ten. Yan Jinghua showed his heart to Cheng Lianqiu. After reading the previous chapters, I felt sorry for Lianqiu, who had been an actor for nineteen years, and also felt sorry for Jinghua, who as a warlord could not protect him for a while. I think it ended well for both of them.
I was worried that if it took less than 30 minutes, I would think it was a refresher, but this book really doesn't take 30 minutes to read [face covering]
The identities of the two people are very different and their positions are different. Maybe this ending is good in some ways. I hope that in the next life, Cheng Lianqiu can have less worries and pity, and Yan Jinghua can pick him up and confess everything to him as soon as possible😔
I don't understand why Cheng Lianqiu did this. I feel like he is severely depressed. I really feel sorry for the two of them. Yan Jinghua is also very kind. While others chant Buddha, he chants Lianqiu. I feel so uncomfortable ahhhhhhhhh!
