Gu Lingyu, I always look for a few words about you in other people's stories.
Everyone, go see it, such a great work! After watching it, I imagined the scene of Meng Lingsheng and Yun Guanlan holding hands and dying together, but when I saw the ending, I had a sad and calm feeling. In that war-torn era, it was not easy for them to get to know each other. How could they dare to expect anything else? In them, I can see the millions of people in that era. Thousands of wives and children were scattered, and there were also many people with lofty ideals who saved the country and the people. In the end, Meng Lingsheng said, although we don't have a marriage certificate, in my heart we have already been husband and wife. The best love is probably in the heart and in the love. Finally, I wish the author better and better [sending my heart] [sending my heart]
After reading this book, I feel deeply that it is not easy to survive in this war-torn era, let alone the love between children. Whether it is Yun Guanlan who is facing the disappearance and death of his adoptive father, or Meng Lingsheng who has been away from home for eleven years and cannot see his father for the last time, they must live with tenacity and strive for a peaceful world for the country and the world. The author's writing style is very good. The book not only contains the September 18th Incident during the Japanese invasion of China, but also reveals the characters' spirit of singing and crying in order to protect the safety of their home and country. This book is my favorite among all the Republic of China romance series I have read.
This is my favorite book in the trilogy. I'm really sorry for Yun Guanlan's ending. I wish he could have a happy future with Meng Lingsheng, but happiness seemed difficult in that era. Well, I'm going to buy a physical book to collect.
The Old Dreams series is really good! Although it is be, it is not very sad or uncomfortable. The whole story design is in line with the logic of the Republic of China era, and it is not too cliché. The ambiguity and temptation of adults are really great. Each character has his own characteristics! Of course, the "extra" of 1913 is also an endless surprise. It turns out that they are so close. They are almost, almost able to meet, and Axiu can hear and know the words "I love you" with her own ears, and there will be no regrets!
After reading it, I felt very empty but depressed. The helplessness and female voices in the chaotic world are well written. The characters are also good, with correct views and a big picture. It is a good novel [Blow Kiss]
This is a novel that I have been waiting to finish for a long time. Probably because I couldn't bear to read the last chapter, and I hesitated every time I stopped at the interface. I took advantage of the holiday and decided to finish reading it. It is said that "love in the Republic of China is tragic in nine cases out of ten." This is true. In that war-torn era, there might have been countless Yun Guanlan and Meng Lingsheng. There has been a deep misunderstanding between Yun Guanlan and Meng Lingsheng since they met, but at the same time, they also planted the seeds of fate between them. Yun Guanlan's gentlemanly demeanor allowed him to save Meng Lingsheng, which was the starting point of a turning point in their relationship. When Meng Lingsheng went to the hospital to save Yun Guanlan, a piece of "Chun Yin Meng" written every day connected the two. The relationship between the two has completely eased. I thought Meng Lingsheng could continue to be happy like this, but the appearance of Zheng Wuji gave Meng Lingsheng a hard-earned good life. Because of love, Zheng Wuji destroyed Meng Lingsheng's life; because of love, he let an innocent person leave unjustly; because of love, he betrayed his country. What he did was disgusting and he was a hateful and pathetic person. Towards the end, Yu Meigui brought news of escape. Meng Lingsheng was happy to go to the appointment, but what she was waiting for was that Yun Guanlan missed the appointment. Yun Guanlan not only wanted to save Meng Lingsheng, but his unyielding spirit also reflected countless heroes and martyrs during the Anti-Japanese War. I hope that in the next life the two of them will be together in the mountains and rivers of Fuchun, cooking wine and tea, and returning to the boat after wind and rain. I wish you peace.
Oh my god, another sad story that makes people sigh. Yun Guanlan and Meng Lingsheng fell in love but couldn't stay together. Why did they meet such a pervert and break them up! It would be great if they could go to Hong Kong together and accompany their children to grow up together. But things went against expectations. In that era of war, how many families were separated and their families were broken up. I still feel sad when I think about it! The author of "1913", "1937" and "Looking Back in Spring" is really good at writing. It is beautiful and exciting, but it hurts my heart after reading it. It makes me depressed. I will probably have insomnia again tonight!
The whole novel has a clear idea, and the author's writing style is also very good˚*̥(**⁰͈꒨⁰͈)*̥. The turmoil and tragedy of the Republic of China are also described👍. The male and female protagonists and supporting characters are also very nationalistic and righteous❤️, and they really do it." The country comes first, the small family comes last." The male and female protagonists are also very good (づ ̄3 ̄)づ╭❤~, the portrayal is very profound, and many plots in the article are very meaningful. "The tragedy of the Republic of China, nine out of ten is tragic" is the main theme of this novel. I really cried to death by writing it. ಥ ಥ ༽ 😭
Nine times out of ten, love in the Republic of China is tragic, and this is also the case. I didn't understand the names Meng Lingsheng and Yun Guanlan when I first read them. It's a pity that such a beautiful name also fell in the flames of war. The heroine has shouldered many responsibilities in her life, which makes her a responsible lawyer who speaks out for women. As a filmmaker, the hero has always been a dream chaser who awakens the minds of the Chinese people. It's not like these two beautiful people ended up separated. I was indignant, relieved and confused. In the end, what touched me the most was the emotion. I hope that in another unknown country, there will still be such a beautiful couple living a harmonious and beautiful life in the leisurely atmosphere of the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.
