Men are the masters of this world. However, men are naturally more fond of looking at the world, but less caring about themselves. Observing the role of a man, he becomes more of a woman. Good women's evaluations of men—such as the wives in The Knife in the Water—are utterly inferior.
Every 20-year-old girl meets a man who makes her heart fascinating, and there is no one who is free, full of fantasy, and has ambitious pursuits. Finally they met and fell in love and stayed with each other, but men love the world even more-they make money, calculate, invest; calculate cost performance and position. Finally, when the 20-year-old woman entered middle age, she discovered that the free, fanciful, and ambitious man had disappeared. Instead, she was replaced by a bald man who wandered around the city all day long.
She was silent, because she knew that all of this was inevitable: life must be plain and lasting.
However, when another free, imaginary boy challenged his man’s authority, she would also say: "'Do you think you are not him? He was just like you when he was 20 years old! One day, you will become His!" The
boy is ignorant and scared, but still exudes the charm of innocence and freedom; the woman is wise and compassionate, but still longs for the passing years and youth.
In my opinion, this is a story about the essence of life.
