his eyes

His eyes were somber.
But how loving when looking at her.
When he knew that her heart was gone, when he knew that she had a child, his eyes were still tender and sad.

Whether it's love at first sight, facing the threat of death, working all day, or malaria, living in a foreign land, and being separated from husband and wife...
This kind of man, after passing, is the final winner.
His victory was permanent rather than fleeting. They went through everything and went through the ordeal of death and hardship. The heart is together.

It doesn't really matter if he lives or dies.

    Reading Maugham's original work in the past two days, and revisiting the film after a lapse of ten years. It has to be said that the adaptation of the film has improved and enriched the original, compact and temperate, and deleted the wordy branches in the narrative, but it seems to be another story. The repentance of the hostess and the death of her husband are more powerful. In Maugham's writings, he was indifferent and lacking persuasiveness. I always believe that love is an emotion that grows above respect. It is contemptuous but unstoppable, but it is an unwilling obsession.
