unguarded heaviness

Even the wealthy Chinese are still humble and irresistible in front of the poor and white French.

Seeing my beloved lover and my younger brother dancing an extremely intimate dance, the actor's expression made me unclear for a moment, until they returned to the dark corner that only belonged to two people, the male protagonist vented his anger, and the female protagonist was a shameless prostitute It was only after the gesture that I slowly understood the meaning of that expression, shame. The idle prodigal son is seriously and painfully infatuated with a white girl this time, and in her immature worldview, loyalty or not is not worth mentioning under the premise of sleeping with a Chinese, so that the proud White teenage girls can say to a tearful man, "Approach him and come here with him just for the money". When the man fell into the shackles of marriage, the girl returned to the stale space of tobacco and alcohol before leaving; when she set off, she saw the black RV in the corner that she was looking forward to seeing; when the waltz sounded on the unmanned deck at midnight , With tears streaming down her face, she finally understood her unrequited love, and they have since missed it.

I like a short comment from Douyou: what she cried bitterly was her love that she realized later. "If life is only as first seen", it is more and more heavy to read now.

    I don’t know why I always have an inexplicable yearning and impulse for Vietnam, including those steaming movie scenes.

    Women will never reject the man they like, which is why many women are deceived because women are too intuitive. The piano music played in the boat in the night, she cried bitterly, it was the love she realized afterwards. Sigh~

The Lover quotes

  • [last lines]

    Narrator: Years after the war, after the marriages, the children, the divorces, the books, he had come to Paris with his wife. He had phoned her. He was intimidated; his voice trembled, and with the trembling it had found the accent of China again. He knew she'd begun writing books. He had also heard about the younger brother's death. He had been sad for her. And then he had no more to tell her. And then he told her - he had told her that it was as before, that he still loved her, that he would never stop loving her, that he would love her until his death.

  • Narrator: "Now and then I go back to the house in Sadek. To the horror of the house in Sadek. It's an unbearable place. It's close to death. A place of violence of pain of despair, of dishonour... But it's in this family's dryness in it's incredible harshness that I am the most deeply assured in myself. In the deepest of my essential certainties, all common history of ruin and shame, of love and hate is in my flesh."
