The core theme of "Regret Teaches Us How to Love Each other" - "Missing comes from not being brave, not persisting, and immature.
"Regret Teaches Us to Love" takes the love trajectory of Jiang Linchuan and Ye Qinying as the core, and deeply analyzes the nature of "missing out" in love. It does not tell a simple story of fate, but reveals that the root cause of many unforgettable regrets often lies not in "not loving" but in "not loving maturely enough".
The novel describes in detail the process of the two people meeting in their youth, drifting apart due to cowardice and hesitation (Jiang Linchuan), pride and misunderstanding (Ye Qinying), unilateral sacrifice and poor communication. They eventually parted ways because they were not brave enough to express their true feelings, were not persistent enough to resist the pressure of reality, and did not love maturely enough (replacing understanding and cooperation with self-impression or showing off).
The focus of the novel, however, is the chapter after "Regret." Separation becomes the tempering furnace for their respective growth. In the tempering of career and life, they lost their youthfulness, learned responsibility, independence and communication, and established a solid self-worth. When fate brings them together again, they show mature appreciation and protection.
Enlightenment: True mature love sometimes involves sober letting go and fulfillment.
