The day I was diagnosed with cancer, Gu Ci was at the film festival with one of the rising stars under his management, watching her accept an award.
The popular young actress stood onstage receiving her award, while he sat below as her audience, brimming with confidence. When the camera passed over him, he gazed up at her with a doting smile.
In that moment, I knew I really had to let go.
Seven years had long since worn away the love between us, along with my illusions about him.
But after I handed him the divorce papers, he cried and begged me not to divorce him.
