"The stars are still so bright The moon is still in the sky Nothing seems to have changed It's just that he's not by your side face in memory has become vague and abstract And you are no longer young The figure is also a little out of shape If you meet someone you love again Remember to hold his hand tell him if you don't have him you have nothing where are you now how are you doing now are you like me Are you wandering outside?" The lyrics are a perfect match for Ming Zhen and Lu Yun Conghao, please bring happiness to their palms [almost crying] [love] [love] [love]
This book conveys a kind of meaningful, restrained and deep love everywhere: Whether it's the fifth master Ming's pity and true love for Fang Fei, a woman of that era, or the shocking pride of the era when Fourth Young Master Zeng said "the heroes cannot be allowed to die", or the passionate love that the young actor knows his heart and carefully carries... There is no doubt that the Republic of China was not a romantic era. But it is undeniable that the Republic of China, which was between the rise and fall of the feudal dynasty and the rise of the new era, was characterized by chaos and turmoil, and the dream-like era also really existed. Melancholy, regret, desolation, and loneliness are like the desolation of the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, like the debris on the ground after the fireworks, and like the autumn wind blowing through the yellow flowers in the backyard. What the rain hits is just two broken but connected hearts in the floating world. Is it a blessing or a misfortune to be able to find such compatible and close-minded people in such a chaotic era like the Republic of China? You are lucky! Their meeting is what people long for most in peaceful times. Outside the window and downstairs, the streets are bustling with traffic and feasting. Lively They are all other people's, only the sadness in my heart is my own
It's really good-looking. I have never seen such an ending. Both the male and female protagonists died. Meng Xiaotang suffered too much, and even if he later took revenge on Ming Zhen, it would not be a tenth of what Ming Zhen did to him. The male protagonist is a typical Stockholm, I feel so sorry for him.
Looking at the latter part, it's a bit like Pei Zhongheng and Nan Zhou. The ending is regrettable, but as the book says, they got what they wanted and that's enough. The author's writing style is quite good. The characters in each book are delicate and vivid, which is impressive. Looking forward to the new work [Love] Publish a new book, The Republic of China, Qiuqiu La [top post][top post][top post]
This is the nth Chang'an Dada book I have read. I really love Chang'an Dada's book [Flying Kiss]. Every book has beautiful words and rich descriptions of the characters' inner feelings. The previous books I read were all HE, but this one, "Prison in the Floating World", is BE. The ending is really sad. The male and female protagonists could have been together well, but they chose death together. I feel sorry for the male protagonist. He suffered too much when he was Meng Xiaotang. Even though he later became the rich man Lu Yuncong, he still fell in love with the heroine Mingzhen who he had hurt [crying]
This novel is a real treasure! It's not the "perfect heroine" routine produced by the assembly line at all. The heroine's character really shocked me. It is lively and real, with edges and fireworks. It does not have a "perfect character" that is forced to cater to readers. Instead, it makes people feel that this is a living person with flesh and blood, who can cry, laugh and struggle. The only thing that made me so upset that I pounded the table was the scene where Master Ming Wu fell into despair. The feeling of falling from the clouds into the mud really made my heart ache. I felt regretful but couldn't help but be attracted by this ups and downs of fate. No loss in investing!
After the heroine goes crazy in the early stage, it is really heartwarming after she starts to cheer up. The passage of time is depicted through words, rather than simply "a few years later", and the happy life of the heroine and Fangfei Mingqi is depicted. In the later stages, it really got better and better as I watched it. I liked the heroine's calm character in dealing with things and always had her own ideas. I also liked the little actor's humble and sincere love. I thought it would be revenge but only made me fall deeper and deeper into it. Double death means he. I hope Ming Wuye and Xiao Xizi in the parallel world will understand their own hearts and live happily [almost crying]
Praise! The writing must be polished, the plot must be plotted, the depth must be deep, the suspense must be suspense, the echo must be echoed, and every detail of the setting and foreshadowing must be echoed. It is very complete. The language is terrifyingly calm, but the story is not calm. The various contradictions, misunderstandings, and tangled psychology are written superbly, making this book eye-catching.
I cried after reading the book review, and the ending for both of them is not happy. I like the ending to be happy. I don't know why I prefer such an ending and a fast-paced novel. I don't like the words crying and shedding tears, but I still clicked in and read to the end of the page. I can't escape the feeling of crying. Chapter, in the end I was very happy for the two people the author wrote about. They went in the direction they determined. Even if their feelings were not expressed, their hearts were already connected to each other. I, the spectator, always felt like, "Damn it, you tricked me into tears. It was so late at night and my eyeballs were swollen. It was so sad and hateful."
A great book without a doubt. If it's love, Mingzhen doesn't have it, if it's hate, Mingzhen doesn't have it, but if it's reluctance, if it's pity, if it's empathy, if it's compassion, if it's reluctance, if it's heartache, Mingzhen does. If we talk about hatred, Lu Yuncong has it. If we talk about love, Meng Xiaotang has it. If we talk about inferiority, unwillingness, cowardice, anger, fear, and arrogance, both Lu Yuncong and Meng Xiaotang have it. These complex and real emotions come from their hearts, themselves, and each other. In that turbulent era, neither of them were happy people. One was a heartless man imprisoned in a cage, and the other was a broken-winged bird struggling in the quagmire. They met each other and sought in each other those things they did not have but longed for. We fell in love with each other, but because of sensitivity, fear, and cowardice, we were unwilling to admit it. At first, one of them was aloof, and the other could only look up. Later, the status changed, but it seemed that there was no change. But in the end they faced death. In the face of death, everyone was equal, so they finally abandoned all cowardice and embraced each other. In the next life, in the next life, we must love each other well, let those cowards, those pains, those unwillingnesses, and those hands that hesitate but not reach out, disappear into the blood of the two of them. I like the heroine of this book very much. There are always comments saying how evil and bad this heroine is. But I think even if she is a bad person, she is also a very good person. What's more, the heroine is not a villain. Every bad thing she does is understandable. She is a three-dimensional person. The female protagonist initially imprisoned the male protagonist out of some evil intentions, but mostly because the male protagonist tried to kill her, but she also saved the male protagonist's life and gave money to his mother, which made her angry for a while. In the subsequent days of imprisonment, he was not subjected to too much physical torture, and it was better for him. Of course, I did not say that this imprisonment was a good thing. The male protagonist was also tortured because of it, but was it torture for the male protagonist? Maybe you can get this answer from reading. Later, the heroine went through a huge change, her family was broken up, and then she discovered that her father, whom she always thought did not care about her, might also care about her in the slightest. In such pain, please pay attention and don't forget that the heroine herself has some psychological problems, and she is also a sensitive and painful person. She chose to give up on herself. I think this is normal. If you can always stand strong and never soften in the face of any difficulties, then you are not a human being, but a different species. The reason why humans are human is that in addition to being strong, there must also be weak parts. What's more, after going through all this, the heroine finally stood up again. Mingzhen died, but she came back to life. He survived quitting smoking, survived from the rich lady to the porter at the dock, and survived, from the aloof young lady to the painting girl who talks to people and talks to ghosts. In order to survive, she can persist in anything. Such strong vitality is really very attractive to me. The male protagonist is a pitiful person. This is absolutely true. His experiences and times have made him pitiful. His life has actually been controlled. In order to repay his mother, he has been suppressing himself. When he met the female protagonist and was whipped by him, he finally no longer had to pretend and could be himself. At that moment, he may also have gained some pleasure from freedom. Later, he went to jail again and experienced the torture again, but in the end he was still unable to be cruel to the heroine. Find out the reason. I'm afraid it's because he has fallen in love with the heroine a long time ago. This love is because a soul who yearns for freedom meets another soul who yearns for freedom. No matter what they did physically, they were always colliding mentally, and spiritually, they were always clinging to each other. A small part of the suffering he suffered came from the heroine, and most of it came from that damn era. Meng Xiaotang has long been in love with Mingzhen, Lu Yunchu has always been in love with Mingzhen, and Mingzhen has been amazed by Meng Xiaotang since they first met. Later, even though Meng Xiaotang became Lu Yuncong, in her heart, he was still the same actor, and she still loved him and cherished him. In the next life, be good.
