The Rules of Love

A flight, an encounter. Shen Huiming knows that love at first sight between adults is really just being attracted to someone's looks. He is attracted to a flight attendant named Suo Yang. Suo Yang comes across these lines in a book by Alain de Botton: 1. Someone must be up there, thirty thousand feet in the air, playing with our fate. 2. A philosopher in the bedroom is just as absurd and ridiculous as one in a nightclub. 3. It's hard to distinguish passion from love, or infatuation from affection. 4. Cupid's arrow is easier to shoot than to receive, and giving is easier than accepting. 5. We have a responsibility to think about growing old together, little by little. He thinks these lines from Essays in Love perfectly capture the rules of his relationship with Shen Huiming.
