01
Dream of the Red Chamber
Jia Baoyu & Lin Daiyu
Say what golden jade good fortune, I prefer the former alliance of wood and stone
"I have a heart, the former child has been handed over to Sister Lin, she wants to come over, horizontally and vertically brought me over, put into my stomach."
Anyone who has read "Dream of the Red Chamber" knows that it is an encyclopedic novel. With the tragedy of Bao Dai's love as the main line and the rise and fall of the four major families as the background, it depicts all aspects of China's feudal society in the 18th century.
The past lives and reincarnations of Dai Yu and Bao Yu are touching enough: one is the Daizhu Immortal Grass on the banks of the Three Stones next to the Spirit River, and the other is the Divine Ying Attendant who irrigates the Immortal Grass every day. Later, when the divine attendant wanted to reincarnate and go to the human world for a walk, Xiancao followed in his footsteps and decided to repay the grace of irrigation with the tears of the first life.
Looking back, Baoyu and Daiyu are like the love we had when we were teenagers, shy and hazy. When it is good, it is easy to play, play and play, jealous of each other's small actions, and think wrong. Often misunderstand each other, and fear that they will be misunderstood.
Bao Yu is worried that Dai Yu's sleeping after lunch is not conducive to consumption, and he specially tells jokes and plays with her to make her laugh.
Another time everyone flew a kite, Daiyu's kite flew away with the wind, Baoyu immediately cut the line of his kite, afraid that Daiyu's kite would drift away too lonely.
After so many times of making trouble, it stopped at the two old veils that Baoyu passed to Daiyu, and the sentence "You are assured." With only three words, Dai Yu understood that the Bao Yu she wanted to express understood, and also understood Bao Yu's response to this. The sense of security established by this sentence never collapsed again until the eightieth time.
After that, Dai Yu rarely shed tears, Bao Yu Dai Yu no longer had any contradictions and disputes, and when her heart came to the most true, she had nothing to say.

The Little Prince
The Little Prince & Rose
If you decide, don't let go, because you are my rose
"The time you spend on roses makes your roses so important."
The Little Prince is a famous children's literature short story written by the French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in 1942. The protagonist is a little prince from an alien planet. With a pilot as the narrator, the book tells the story of the adventures experienced by the little prince as he sets out from his planet to Earth.
When the little prince came to Earth, he found that there were more than 5,000 roses in a garden on Earth, which looked exactly like the roses he had taken care of on the planet B612. The little prince was sad to think that all he had was an ordinary rose.
The fox told the little prince, "The time you spend on the rose makes your rose so important." When the little prince understood this truth, he understood that his rose was the only one in the world, and she was more important than all of them, because he had carefully watered her, covered her under the glass cover, erected a screen for her to shield her from the wind and rain, killed caterpillars for her, heard her complaining and showing off, and let her be silent.
This is also the case in real life, maybe the person you love is not unique, he/she is ordinary in the crowd without a little feature. But what is truly irreplaceable is your willingness to invest time and energy in him/her, and your willingness to support each other and grow together.
03
The Siege
Fang Hongwei & Tang Xiaofu
Everyone has a first love in their heart that cannot be loved
Marriage is a "siege", people inside the wall want to go out, people outside the wall want to come in.
Mr. Qian Zhongshu's "Siege of the City" describes the essence of marriage in detail in one sentence.
Most of the length of this book is to describe the helplessness, bitterness, hardship and encounters walls everywhere in the life of the protagonist Fang Hongwei. Some people say that this is a romance of male love.
Tang Xiaofu is indeed the typical appearance of the first love, and when she sees it, she feels sweet and heartwarming.
"Feminine and upright round face with two shallow wine swirls. Born with the average woman to spend money and time-consuming, fat and powder to imitate the good face, fresh enough to make people forget the thirst and feel hungry, as if it is a good fruit. Her eyes are not large, but they are flexible and gentle, reflecting the big eyes of many women only like the big words spoken by politicians. Classical scholars will wonder why ancient and modern Chinese and foreign poets have willingly become women's head plugs, belts around the waist, seats for the body to sleep on, and even shoes trampled under her feet, but they never thought of turning into her toothbrush. Her hair was not permed, her eyebrows were not tweezered, and her lipstick was not wiped, and she seemed to be at ease with the limits of nature, not to make up for the defects of creation. All in all, Miss Tang is the rare thing in modern civilized society - a real girl. ”
It was only on the last afternoon when the rain poured down that Tang Xiaofu said, "Mr. Fang's past is too rich!" The man I love, I want to be able to occupy his whole life, he did not pass before he met me, leaving a blank waiting for me. "Declare this love not to end.
04
Pride and Prejudice
Elizabeth & Darcy
Let go of the prejudices of the world and bravely express love
If "The Siege" is a male romance, then the British writer Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" tells elizabeth's love growth story from a female perspective, which is also the classic Victorian romance novel and the originator of the legendary romance novel.
"What a shame I have done!" She shouted, "I've always been proud that I can distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil!" —— I have always had a very high self-esteem, thinking that I am highly skilled! I often look down on my sister's tolerance and kindness, often show unhelpful random suspicions, and satisfy my own vanity - how humiliating it should be to shake this thing out! - But shame on you! If I really fell in love, I couldn't be blind enough to be more pathetic than that! However, I am not stupid in falling in love, but stupid in vanity. When we first met, I was happy when one person had a good feeling for me, and I was angry when the other person ignored me, so that no matter which of them I was, I attracted prejudice and ignorance, and what drove away was reason. Until this point, I had no self-awareness. ”
This small inner monologue also illustrates the reason for Darcy's "arrogance", which is actually Elizabeth's own prejudice.
In the end, the hero and heroine go through a lot of twists and turns, Elizabeth lifts the prejudice against Darcy, darcy also puts aside arrogance, and uses the marriage proposal to express "I love you", how direct and sincere this way is so down-to-earth.
05
The Troubles of Young Werther
Witt & Greentie
The collision of fanatical ideals and down-to-earth
"I swore in my heart that this was my beloved girl, and I wanted her to never waltz with anyone but me, even if I had to go to hell because of it."
Witt is an idealist who cannot find spiritual sustenance among the vulgar high society and the simple but stupid villagers, and Luti is a pure fairy who conforms to traditional aesthetic and moral standards.
Witt cared so much about Luti that even with just a look, a sigh, a word, the night became difficult for him. And his feelings for Lu Di are so innocent, hot, persistent, single-minded and firm: "In this world, only love can make a person indispensable. ”
06
The Great Gatsby
Gatsby & Daisy
Yin and yang are separated in the paper drunken gold fans
"I can't describe to you how surprised I was when I found out I was in love with her, man. For a while I even wished she had dumped me, but she didn't, because she loved me too. She thinks I know a lot of things because I don't know the same thing as she does... Alas, that's how I put my ambitions aside, and every minute I was "getting deeper and deeper" in the love network, and suddenly I didn't care about anything. If I can tell her what I plan to do and get greater pleasure from it, then why do it? ”
Gatsby and Daisy are a pair of classic CPs. But one of the things that makes Gatsby different is that his personal social status rises while trying to maintain his old dreams, and when he has nothing, love and prosperity are far away from him, he first obtains love, so love becomes his motivation for pursuing glory and wealth.
The desire for dissatisfaction in love makes Gatsby's life always in pain. When you are in love, you are miserable because of the disparity in identity; after separation, you are miserable because of lovesickness; after reunion, you continue to suffer because of disappointment and embarrassment. But this vigorous and fiery love still makes many people moved by this.

Men and women who don't know how to verbally express their liking for people must read "Norwegian Forest" written by Haruki Murakami, the confession is really sweet and lovely.
"I like you the most, Midoriko." "To what extent?" "Like a bear that loves spring." "Spring Bear?' Midoriko raised her face again, "What spring bear?" "In the spring wilderness, you are walking alone, and across from you comes a cute little bear, covered in fur like velvet, with bulging eyes. It says to you, 'Hello, miss, is it okay to roll around with me?' Then you hugged the bear and grunted down the clover-covered hillside for a whole day. You say great or not? "Fantastic" "I like you so much"
"Like how much I like it?" "The tigers in the forest of the whole world have all melted into butter"
"Like my hairstyle?" "I like it." "How is the Law?" "It's so good that all the trees in the forest all over the world fall to the ground."
If you want to evaluate the most adorable pair of CPs in the famous book, it must be Watanabe and Kobayashi Midoriko.

Romeo and Juliet
Romeo & Juliet
Love is life and death with you
Romeo: "Ah, noisy love, affectionate resentment!" Ah, everything out of nothing! Ah, heavy frivolity, serious arrogance, neat chaos, plumes of lead, smoke of light, cold flames, haggard health, eternal awakening sleep, negative existence! The love I feel is exactly that kind of thing. ”
- Quoted from Romeo and Juliet
Act 1, Act 1
At first, he did not understand Romeo's love and affection, yesterday he still shed tears of early morning dew for his old love, and tonight he revealed a piece of infatuation to Juliet. Not understanding Juliet's affection, she made a promise to her at the first sight. The plot of this drama comes too quickly. Romeo takes the medicine and Juliet commits suicide, ending the generational hatred between the two families. Let this short-lived love become a regret and remain poignant forever.
Perhaps love is incomprehensible, and the secret of this can only be understood by what is loved and loved.
Others seem to be earth-shattering mourning, and for those who love each other, death is life. This is love, this is Shakespeare's love.
"Evgenio Nekin"
Evgenio Negin & Dagiana
I can love you, but I can't belong to you
The tenderness in his eyes,
This sudden visit of his,
His peculiar deeds before Olga,
It's all deeply imprinted on her heart;
She didn't understand him as a person.
The pain of jealousy disturbed her heart,
It was as if there was a big cold hand
Pressing tightly on her heart,
It was as if there were a bottomless abyss under her feet,
The darkness is deep and deep, and the sound of water is noisy...
"I'm going to ruin it," said Tanya.
"But I'm willing to destroy it for him."
I don't complain: why complain?
Give happiness to me, him, impossible. ”
—Quoted in Chapter VI of Yevgenynegyn
The young one of the nobles of St. Petersburg in Yevgenyennekin, tired of high society, arrived in the Russian countryside by chance. There he became acquainted with Dagjana, the eldest daughter of the landlord Larin's family.
There is a misplaced love between Onegin and Dagiana, one representing the bitterness and wandering of aristocratic intellectuals, the melancholy and powerless "many with people" Onegin, and the other is Dagjana, the "icon of Russian women" as an idealized female symbol.
Dagiana and Onegin were identical in their nature and in their critical attitudes towards society, and they both despised aristocratic high society, but they were different in temperament.
Onegin was powerless to escape the evil influence of aristocratic ideas and customs, spiritually empty, while Dagiana had a deep affection for the people, an inseparable connection with Russian nature, and a full heart.
Even if the love between the two fails, in that social environment, such pure love is still precious.

Love in the Time of Cholera
Florentino & Fermina
Love across half a century
It's a love story that spans more than half a century, and Florentino and Fermina failed to marry at the age of twenty because they were too young; after all the twists and turns of life, by the age of eighty, they still couldn't get married because they were too old.
In the span of fifty years, the author Márquez shows all the possibilities of love, all the ways of love: loyal, secret, rough, shy, platonic, debauched, fleeting...
The New York Times described Love in the Time of Cholera as "the greatest romance novel ever written by mankind."
However, anyone who has read this book knows that it is not just a love story.
The male protagonist has had 622 lovers in his lifetime, including unruly and betrayal, and even led to more than one death.
The marriage of the heroine is not smooth sailing, there are cheating, there is adultery, there is chai rice oil and salt, a chicken feather.
At the end of the story, the ship where the hero and heroine are located hangs a yellow flag representing cholera, stealing a moment of life.
And this moment of floating life, for them, is a lifetime of shaking.
The world does not tolerate it, and it is cold and warm and self-aware.
In this story, Márquez discusses not only love, but also spirit and flesh, good and evil, rich and poor, old and young. So the important themes in life are all in this book.
Perhaps, to call it "the greatest romance novel ever written by mankind", one can only go beyond love itself.
After reading these 10 pairs of CPs, which one do you prefer?
“...... We think of an unknown number of people a day, relatives, friends, enemies, and irrelevant people who have met. Really wanting someone, remembering him, hoping to get close to him, this is very rare. Personnel is too busy to allow us to concentrate and miss someone without interruption. The thoughts of our lives for the dearest ones add up to less than a point, and the thoughts that have only caught a glimpse of him and thought. ”
In fact, there can be many paragraphs of love, there will be many kinds of love, people who are touched by each other's hearts, their hearts will also change, love has a shelf life, and it is good and cherished.
