I wish I could be such an old woman when I get old

1. I hope that when I get old, I can become such an old woman. Wandering in the sea of ​​books, I will not hesitate to go to several bookstores for a certain out-of-print book, and even find a foreign bookstore. And then there is a strong energy, sharp words hidden behind the clever humor, with a good writing ability. Of course, there are times when the old people often have long-winded and broken thoughts, and the tone is a bit sharp, but she is still a wise and interesting old woman. After my hair turns gray, I can still appreciate the changing seasons and the wonderful love between young men and women under the window sill. When the spring flowers bloom, I will pick a book of poems I like, walk through Central Park, and sit on Nagasaki to read; there will be Leisurely teasing a mischievous cat, reading novels to crying children, and giving up long-awaited travel for health...

2. The relationship between people is really a wonderful thing. Maybe there are no feelings in the world, and you come to me and have some feelings. Originally it was two people or a group of people who were supposed to meet each other. Because of looking for books, buying books and sending books, the normal state of you coming and going was formed. It was originally just a simple business relationship, or because the medium was books, it was a little more elegant and romantic. But the essence is actually a business relationship. But over time, I sent you some sausages, vegetables, and fruits, and you sent me a tablecloth; I gave your daughter a Christmas present, and you sent me an out-of-print novel…. They have expectations and emotions for strange faces in another country. When they thought they could meet but failed to do so, the great loss of this group of people is disappointing. You may be suddenly surprised that the feelings between people have inadvertently become so profound and unforgettable. Then, her toothache, his death, and his aging become a concern in your life...

3. Maybe it's distance that produces beauty. This kind of story that has been in correspondence for many years but never met is particularly beautiful and moving. If after a few letters, you would meet and make an appointment at every turn, the overall style might be much lower. On the contrary, it is like this, interspersed with birth, old age, sickness and death, and the state of almost never seeing each other in the end, but it is more about the hearts of the audience. After all, emotion, regret, beauty, and sigh are all in it, and chewing a few more times will give you endless taste.
