Never forget

The girl never forgets her Chinese lover, and I never forget this novel.
When I first encountered Duras in college, I madly liked Baby Annie and became interested in Duras, which is often mentioned in her book. The woman I love must be the woman I love.
The first book she read was "The Love of Hiroshima", and the large amount of erotic description in it made me, who was a good girl at that time, dumbfounded and blushing. However, I really like her article.
At that time, I was talking about a tepid love that is common in college. When I was a student, I didn’t know about love, but I was curious about this kind of reckless and desperate love. I always thought that if I had such a love, What a loving person. Don't ask for everlasting time, but in the course of your life, you will deeply impress my name. How good. I have always known that, on the surface of me, who seems to be well-behaved, in fact, I am rebellious and restless in my bones.
Later, after reading "Lover", I knew it was made into a movie. It was starring Leung Ka Fai, who I like. I was looking for resources happily, but I couldn't find it all the time. This wait is 6 years. Yesterday, I finally found the movie on the Internet, but when I clicked it, I was a little scared. I'm always afraid that things that have been waiting for too long will be different from what I remember. The contents of the book have been forgotten a long time ago, I am not sure, whether the likes I remember in my heart can still impress me now.
Facts have proved that nothing has changed.
Thinking about my experience over the years after graduation, such a person really appeared. When I was together, I didn't cherish it, and only when I lost it, I found out that it was so love. I hate myself for not caring, I want to make up, but I can't do anything.
The last time I met was after we broke up, the day before you were about to leave the city. We discuss what kind of girl you will meet and when you will get married. . . Later, I squatted in the corner of the room and cried bitterly, and you pulled me up. The final farewell is when I stand at the subway entrance and wave goodbye to you in the taxi. I have been smiling, I hope you will always remember my beautiful look.
I said I would forget you, I will go to the city you pass and walk the road you have traveled.
But I still can't help but call you, and then, many times I'm hoarse, hurting you, hurting me. Emotions are never controlled.
I don't know, why am I doing this. The process of forgetting is really painful.
The love I wanted when I was young seems to have been obtained, but now I would rather not have it at all. Now I understand that it's better to be together than to miss it forever. Even if life is dull, in fact having it is happiness. The things in the taboos, I can't help but feel curiosity to experience it myself, and the things that look very poignant, only after experiencing it, I know that I can't bear the thinness at all.
I always look at other people's stories and think about my own affairs.
You are so good to me, all things are so thoughtful. Including, your departure is so elegant. So, after leaving you, how can I quit you? Duras, do you want to express such emotions?
After 6 years, Duras, I still love you. Looking back at the books you wrote, but I don’t want the life in your books anymore. I want that person to stay together.

    "She received his call after many years, and her voice was trembling, just like when she first met her." It evoked a remote and unfamiliar resonance in my body, which made me unable to stop after the movie ended. Sobbed for a long time.

    Too pretentious to like. Leung Ka Fai, a little girl full of buck teeth and a traitor, really wanted to go to Vietnam.

The Lover quotes

  • 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."

  • Narrator: Dusk one evening on board ship, crossing the Indian Ocean under the luminous sky. Suddenly the sound of a Chopin waltz came bursting out from the main lounge. I had tried to play it for months without success. That's why I gave up the piano. There wasn't a breath of wind and the music pervaded the whole ship. I stood up as if to go and throw myself into the sea. Then I did weep because I had thought of my Chinese lover, and I was suddenly not sure that I hadn't been in love with him after all, with a love I hadn't been able to see because it had become lost in the tide of events, like water seeping through sand. Thanks to that music, spreading over the sea and filling the calmest night I have ever known, I could see my love for him for the first time.
