Ding Santai has never had a stable life for a few days in his life. Yu Rong died young, Feng Gu was buried in the wind and snow of Yanma Road, Cuihong and Nannan were scattered in the vast forest of Qinling Mountains, three women, three unresolved relationships, like three thorns, stuck in his troubled life. In the end, he guarded the loess of Huangyuan and his father's tomb, not because he didn't want to find another companion, but because he didn't dare - he was afraid of involving anyone else in his life, and he was afraid of tasting the taste of loss again.
This kind of restraint of "not daring to write about the fourth woman" is more powerful than forcing a belated reunion. His loneliness is not the loneliness of being unaccompanied, but the thought of three women, guarding a heavy concern, and guarding the roots of Huang Yuan. This uneasy feeling makes Ding Santai's image darker, and also adds a layer of helplessness and tenacity to the helplessness and tenacity of a small person in troubled times to the background of the entire "Huang Yuan" series.
