The CEO's Heart on Guitar Strings

The most touching thing about this work is that it does not use dramatic conflicts to attract attention, but uses delicate brushwork to describe the most authentic appearance of marriage - from the caution when getting married with the imprint of their own lives, to the occasional small frictions during the running-in, and then to slowly finding a comfortable rhythm of getting along with each other. The rhythm of the narrative is like the warm sunshine in the afternoon, slow but extraordinarily smooth. Every detail hides the texture of life: for example, the husband remembers that his wife does not like to eat coriander, so he will tell the store in advance every time he eats out; the wife discovers that her husband always secretly handles work late at night, so she silently warms the milk and puts it in his hand. These seemingly trivial interactions are the best footnote of "mutual warmth". They would quarrel over whether to squeeze toothpaste from the middle or the tail, and then awkwardly learn to make porridge when the other person was sick; they would complain to each other when they were frustrated at work, but they would always add "it's good to have you here" before going to bed. There is no dramatic plot, but everyone who reads the story can find their own shadow in them - it turns out that a good marriage is never a natural fit, but a willingness to put away the edges for each other, and live "I" into "us" in daily life. Those inadvertent sprinkles of sweets are even more touching: when we hold an umbrella together on a rainy day, we subconsciously tilt the umbrella towards each other. Even if we forget to prepare a gift on the anniversary, we will seriously say "Thank you for spending another year with me", or even just sit side by side on the sofa watching a TV show. Occasionally, the knees that touch each other are filled with the warmth of tacit understanding. This kind of story may not have strong dramatic tension, but it uses the most real warmth to make people believe that the most touching thing in marriage is always the understanding after running in and the mutual support over the years.
