A thousand miles of love

Federico 2021-12-15 08:01:11

Although it was "Romeo and Juliet" written by the British Shakespeare, the love swan song that has been passed down through the ages took place in the small Italian city of Vinola. Literary and artistic setting, love singing, and the "Letter to Juliet" wishing wall in the small town came into being, providing an outlet for women who have suffered from love.

This wishing wall is a bit similar to the tree hole. The difference is that the tree hole only accepts and accommodates silently, while the wishing wall has an additional reply function, which allows women with rich experience and experience to experience their feelings as Secretary Juliet. Other women who were troubled provided confidant elder sister-like replies. Even in the fast-paced modern times, this kind of warmth still spans time and space, and it changes thousands of times...

Some people say, "When we first love, we don't understand love", and some people say that there is always a "corner forgotten by love" in the world; Repeatedly chanting "The Story of Love" with perseverance, some people wandered between "Sense and Emotion". Unlucky people may only be able to recall "Incapable Love" in their dreams throughout their lives; and lucky people will eventually realize that even "Half Life" is worth cherishing and keeping.

Claire, who is already a grandmother, is lucky. The letter written to Juliet when she was emotionally tangled 50 years ago was occasionally discovered by Sophie from New York after half a century of dust. Although from the perspective of timeliness, the reply seemed meaningless, Sophie, who was moved by Juliet's love and was curious about Claire's status quo, still wrote her reply heartfeltly. When the letter was sent, Sophie didn't know that the story triggered by this reply would have an overwhelming impact on her life.

Claire, who lives in London, received a letter asking his grandson Charles to accompany him all the way back to Vinora. He wanted to find a passionate lover half a century ago, at least saying "I'm sorry" because of his lack of courage to elope at that time. However, where did Lorenzo, who worked in the vineyard fifty years ago and radiated the fragrance of youth, look for now? And, what is the point of such a search? Even if the veil of time is lifted, when the eyes meet each other, is it possible to relive the warmth of the past?

Such doubts are clearly out of Claire's consideration. Sometimes, some things are nothing more than an explanation for youth and an end to many unfinished matters in life one by one. So, at the request of Sophie, who continued to be curious and confused by her feelings, Claire took Charles and began to find love for the threesome.

Many Lorenzo were not Claire's sweaty youth lovers, and more and more frustration began to dominate Claire's expression. After searching him thousands of times in the crowd, maybe, it is the time to give up? And if you give up again, will you be surprised to see the beauty of "Looking back at dusk, but that person is in the dim lights"?

As Claire said to Sophie: Angel brought you to me. Angels are not lonely, good things are done to the end. So, on the return journey through the hit vineyard, Claire, who wanted to create opportunities for Charles and Sophie, two young people who were hesitant about love, proposed to take a break in the garden. Just as the car slowly passed the Jiangqiu grape truss, a familiar figure turned back time 50 years...

Of course it was dazzled. However, it is also God's will. The shadow of this youth is not born through time and space. Behind this shadow are Lorenzo and Claire’s Lorenzo who have passed half a century later, and Lorenzo, who came on his horse but never left, waved away the vicissitudes of life and reappeared at the moment of reunion. Lorenzo... that hug and kiss exactly the same as the youth, seems to have drawn the perfect end to Claire's search.

Does it stop here? How many stories can happen in half a century? How much has become history? A pair of former lovers each experienced a marriage and almost all reached the age of a grandson. Maybe it's just fate, and each has lost his lover separately. In this way, after the reunion, holding hands again is the end without suspense.

And those young people who have not yet fully understood time and space and love, have also found their love after thousands of miles. The balcony once witnessed the love between Romeo and Juliet, and now again witnesses the love between Charles and Sophie. The only difference is the ending: when Charles fell from the air, Sophie turned and rushed downstairs to help her lover who fell to the ground without fear...

Ever after...

Never "what if"...
