In the past three years, he has been increasingly unable to tell whether the person around him is Yulan or Yutang! He seemed to be trapped in a puzzle. Sometimes he thought she was Yutang, but hadn't Yutang died of illness long ago? Sometimes he thought she was Magnolia, but Magnolia was clearly beside him. Why could he still miss Magnolia so much? Sometimes he also doubts whether it is Magnolia or Yutang that he misses? Thinking more deeply, he could no longer tell whether he loved Yulan or Yutang. At first, he loved Yulan when he was a student. From then on, he also loved Yulan after their reunion, but his eyes often lingered on Yutang, because she was so similar to Yulan when she was a student, that youthful and lively. Maybe he only loved them when they were young, and what he loved most was still the playful and cheerful girls in their youth. When he thought of this, he was shocked! How could I be so despicable? He warned himself over and over in his heart that he only loved Magnolia from the beginning to the end, including the youthful and playful Magnolia in his student days, as well as the considerate and virtuous Magnolia now.
This novel imitates Zhang Ailing's novels in terms of period background and storytelling, especially in the story-telling method at the beginning, which imitates the first and second incense burners of agarwood crumbs, and appropriately clicks on the title. Eileen Chang is best at writing about infatuated men and women in cement. I think people who don't know Eileen Chang's works would say this. Although love, hate and infatuation are the most common in the world, Eileen Chang's story design is extremely clever, and some of them are simply amazing. Those plots need to be carefully studied before you will be amazed by her unique ingenuity. Having said so much, I just want to say that this novel also needs you to read it carefully. However, love in Zhang Ailing's novels is cold, and no one can't leave the other. I think she is writing about the truest reality. I still prefer happy endings, so this is very different.
Concept: If there is a person who is very similar to the person you love in terms of appearance, character and habits, will you fall in love with him or her?
