I recently rewatched Departure. I saw this article and wrote an extra. I came to take a look. I also reread this article all night long. The familiar heart-wrenching feeling. The author's writing style is really good and gives people empathy. Pei Sui's respective life lines are simply projections of the distorted love growth system of East Asian families. I can see myself in both of them. On the one hand, they are cared for by the extended family but bear the emotional ties that they should not bear. Not being able to escape, on the other side is the soul that has been suppressed for a long time and is looking for a breathing room to escape... It hurts... But under this narrative, I still feel that Sui is not worth it, and I don't think Pei should be readmitted as the closest lover, even though they both have their own unhappiness. Pei's cowardice and avoidance are reasonable. I can empathize with her. Her choice at the time was already the best solution under the cognition and situation. Regardless of her psychology, selfishness or arrogance, this is a way to let herself breathe again. She is far slower than Sui. She has done a lot for Sui, but in the years when Sui resisted pressure and transformed, Pei was absent on his own initiative... Just like many people's worldviews are reshaped and reconstructed before and after adulthood. People will shed many of their previous things in the process of transformation. Time and time again, "Growing up has become the gap between me and myself." Sometimes when I think back to my teenage behavior, I can only understand and cannot sympathize. Ten years is too long... Sui Pei's personality in the two timelines is also very different. For Pei, I can understand her original intention of choosing freedom and using worldly success and excitement on this road for a long time to bring a sense of reality to her life, as well as the empty trap after failure. But she has always believed After she chose to give up on Sui, she still firmly believed that Sui was hers and could start over with time and "persistence". This made me uncomfortable. Being used as an emotional anchor for a long time was not a happy thing. Sui had always assumed the role of Pei's emotional sustenance. It was very consuming, exhausting and tiring, but Pei didn't feel... I think Sui will always regard Pei as a loving family member, but the closest and most trusted lover. I don't think it will happen anymore. The moment Pei made this choice I should bear such a result. In my eyes, the ending of oe is no different from that of be. The premise of love is equality and seeing each other. I don't seem to have seen this in the whole story. The later period is more like a helpless compromise. Although Pei thought it through at that time, of course, the ending tendency of the family is just my own Hamlet. Whether the relationship between Pei and Sui is reunited is the author's own arrangement [Comparison] I am just not poor and Sui should not be trapped in one person. Her sensitivity deserves more vivid love experiences. Sui's statement also includes "I don't want to love only one person in this life." Even if Sui reunited with Meng, it was only after she had really loved other people in the past three years that she began to reconsider Pei's parallel time and space.
This article is really unique, with complex characters. I have also read a lot of GL articles. They read very smoothly, and the characters are mostly positive. The relationship crisis between the two protagonists mostly stems from external factors. The separation is not about lack of love but too much love. After watching Li Gang and Dong Qing, I think this is also a characteristic of the author's writing. The characters need to grow up and deal with their own issues before they can get a truly good love. The growth of Xue Tong and Lu Shimiao is relatively not so difficult, and their personalities are relatively complete, especially in the 60s, there are no flaws. Sui Ran and Pei Dongqing, Pei Dongqing's experience was too painful, so her growth was also very long, and she couldn't bear the pain. Unlike us readers who know what to do from the perspective of Pei Si's birthday later, Pei Dongqing felt very distressed after realizing that she missed so much warmth by escaping. Fortunately, there was Sui Ran, who forced Pei Dongqing to see her own problems; fortunately, there was Sui Ran, who could guide her; fortunately, there was Sui Ran, who never gave up on loving her. This ending is just right. If Sui Ran really doesn't love Dongqing and ignores her, I think Dongqing will never be well again, just like she ran away before. The author is really great. The complexity and growth of the characters are a bit difficult for me to understand, but you can write her out and let us readers see it. Sometimes even I can't figure out what I'm thinking, sometimes this way, sometimes that way. So the author is really great. 👍
Zhai Zhai, I want to read Dongqing... Zhai Zhai's other two books have several extras, I want to read Dongqing...
Guo Nong and Li Gang have written several extra chapters, and Dong Qing is also a biological child! Don't be biased, please update more soon!

Wow, I just read the news "A man took photos of Taiwanese tourists and found out he was a missing relative." This news is about a story about brothers who were separated in 1949 and one of them was adopted and had his surname changed. What a coincidence, I immediately thought of holly.
What about the promised extra? ? ? ? [Cheek support][cheek support][cheek support]

One of my favorites is Sisterhood. The character creation is more and more profound as the characters are developed, and the plot progresses very comfortably. After reading it, I really felt reluctant to let go...
I didn't understand the ending, how did they get together?
