Can a middle-aged couple still love each other?
With elderly parents to care for and children to raise, the ambiguous relationship between Chairman Li Donghuai and another woman tears apart an already fragile marriage. Tan Limin gives up her hopes and fantasies about married life and starts a new business.
Her eldest daughter, a top student, and her son, a grade-school underachiever, are everything to Tan Limin. For their sake, she bravely takes that step: she wants a divorce.
But an old car, traded in for a replacement, forces them into a "cooling-off period" before their divorce.
Once she has cooled down, Tan Limin realizes she no longer has expectations of marriage or hopes for a love that lasts forever.
She and Li Donghuai agree to decide on the last day of each year whether they want to spend the next year together. If they do, they will write a promise and a plan for the coming year. If not, they will get divorced.
After that, her life changes completely.
The time of marriage is getting longer and longer. Love is the smallest but also the most important point in marriage. Two people come together and get married because they love each other. If you don't love each other... You are just a stranger that you can't even touch. Two people don't divorce because they still love each other and have feelings for each other. Some people always say, "When a couple has been married for a long time, love will turn into family affection." This view is really wrong, and it does not make sense logically. After all, isn't it just because you love each other that you marry each other? If you don't love him/her, how can you marry him/her? Without love, where does family affection come from? Even if it turns into family affection, you still have to have love first. Otherwise, family affection comes out of thin air? It is precisely because there are too many entanglements between husband and wife, and it is precisely because they still love each other. They are comrades-in-arms, friends, two names connected on the marriage registration, and even more so, lovers.
This article truly describes the cruelty and helplessness of real life. Come on, author, I look forward to publishing better new books.
