The sun used to be slow,
Cars, horses, and mail are all slow.
A lifetime is enough to love one person,
The locks of the past were also good-looking,
The keys are beautiful,
If you lock it, people will understand.
——Mu Xin
It's a pity that Duras didn't understand this deep affection until he left, and at the end of his life, he used all his strength to write down his experience when he was fifteen years old, named "The Lover", 1992 The film of the same name was released in France.
The whole film is elegant and quiet, filled with aristocratic decadence. Tony Leung Ka Fai, who plays Tony, has a slender figure, trembling fingers, deep eyes and dry skin, all of which have been fixed in his impression, making him an Eastern and Westerner back then. In the eyes of the public lover.
In 1929, due to family reasons, the French girl Jane lived in Vietnam with her mother and brother since she was a child.
That year, that day, 15-year-old Jane took a ferry across the Mekong River, wearing a men's hat on her head, a hat no one in Vietnam would wear, but Jane was content, because she felt that the hat made her look alive.
Tony, who was in a private car, also had to cross the river. In the same place, when they met for the first time, Tony, who got off the car, saw the unusual men's hat at a glance, and also saw his petite body leaning against the railing at will. Laziness on top.
Tony's heart skipped a beat, tidied up his clothes, and walked towards Jane, but Jane was unmoved. Tony used a lame way to start chatting up. nervous.
When Tony said that he was Chinese and lived in a blue stone house on the other side of the river, Jane's eyes brightened, and Tony also understood the needs in those bright eyes.
After that, things came naturally. Tony drove Jane to school. The enclosed space in the car was filled with the smell of hormones. At this time, the men and women with different thoughts pretended to be calm, their bodies remained rigid, but their restless hands were slowly testing. move closer.
Ga - the car stopped, all the scenes came to an abrupt end, the 15-year-old Jane's flushed cheeks revealed her youth, and the mature Tony was also a little flustered.
The air between the two has changed, and it seems that it is no different from the beginning. There is only desire but no emotion, each has his needs, and he can see the bottom of each other's heart just by looking at it.
Two days later, Tony took Jane back to the blue stone house, and instantly poured out a beautiful life experience, from the senses to the joy of the spirit and soul, as if floating in the vast sea.
Tony told Jane that this house is a place where Chinese people hide their treasures, and Jane doesn't care.
Jane said she never went home with anyone.
Tony said he was afraid of falling in love with her.
Jane said that she hoped he never fell in love with her, and she didn't want love.
Both parties understand that this is just a transaction, no relationship is involved, there is no taboo in what you do, the relationship without emotion is clean and neat, you can talk about the future without caring, Tony talks about his fiancée, Jane talks about her hating the Chinese.
that time
when you love me
Sweet words, eachother,
Courtesy and Loyalty
I want to pluck me the stars and the moon in the sky
write love poems
music
Let my heart be your hometown
Light up the first light of dusk for me
give me the first kiss in the morning
Put the white rose you gave me in your mouth
bloom on me
you are lingering
one after another
lust
——Mu Xin
I don't know since when, Tony was moved by Jane's publicity, showing tenderness everywhere, from lust to love, he fell deeper and deeper. He wanted to fight against his family and marry Jane as his wife, but his resistance was weak and weak. There is no power, and the pain of not getting it devours Tony all the time.
Tony asked Jane to tell him over and over again that she came here because of money. Since she met him, she only had money in her heart and nothing else.
In addition to this, one can only have firm belief in the lust that covers the earth in the midst of the lair, and spend a happy afternoon.
The down-and-out Jane is always full of French superiority and feels that she will never marry a Chinese; the rich Tony, who is furious at the contempt of Jane's family, has nowhere to go. The tremor that invaded the muscles and the bones vented the anger in my heart.
Another contest was put on the stage. Tony started to prepare for the wedding according to the family's expectations. Jane, who seemed to be absent, still didn't know that her relationship with Tony had come to an end, and she was immersed in Tony's tenderness.
my lust
especially quiet night
my lust it
float down
tree-lined window lattice
Buttock vortex, chest port, stock gully
Plain distant mountains, road and road
covered my lust

What should come will always come, Jane said. When your wedding is over, I will wait for you one last time at the blue house. Tony's wedding came as scheduled, Jane stood on the sidelines from a distance, as if watching a lively event that had nothing to do with her, without the slightest heartache.
The pouring rain was like a night full of blood. Jane sat silently in the blue house and waited for Tony all night. Jane knew that he would not come, and everything between them was over.
When Jane boarded the cruise ship to France, she found his car in a hidden place, far behind, in an unnoticed corner, parked silently.
So Jane leaned on the railing like the first time they met, she knew that Tony must be staring at her, just as she was staring at Tony, all desires were dissipated, and only countless affectionate feelings remained.
Until the pier and the land were far away, and the waltz sounded through the cabin, Jane began to feel pain, and began to miss the man on the bank, her lover.
Only then did she know that she was in love with him deeply, and a love that she had never admitted, disappeared in an instant like running water passing through the sand. This deep love was finally discovered by her, on the sea, on the ship with the music fluttering.
The 32-year-old Tony has already felt the ending and has always kept the pain in his heart. The 15-year-old Jane realized that she would never fall in love with the Chinese, but finally found that she loved the Chinese so much. deep.
From the beginning of desire to the end of love, the two sides surpassed the skin-to-skin relationship and moved towards the resonance of the soul. Unfortunately, they are destined to spend the rest of their lives with thoughts.
The boldness and freedom shown by the 15-year-old Jane is related to money and has nothing to do with money, just because she can face up to her body and desires, because she loves this innocent body and turbulent desires.
