Like the coast, it is always waiting for the ship to return, so even if the wind and waves are fierce, the ship is not afraid;

Like dawn, it is always waiting for the sun to rise, so even if it is dark, the sun will move.

From the first meeting of the protagonists Alyssa and Fermina in their youth, to the beginning of their relationship, they both believe that each other will be partners for life.
Let the reader almost also think how wonderful their love is, if all goes well, they will be together, and then have an enviable beautiful love and a happy life.
But life was not always easy, and later Fermina married someone else and lived a fairly ordinary but always imperfect life.
Alyssa, on the other hand, never married, was always waiting, waiting for the day when Fermina would return, even though she was married and had children.
Alyssa's life was tragic.
He was pathetic, pathetic, and complicated, but even so, he was still waiting for that love.
Finally, in the twilight of her life, Alyssa finally had the opportunity to see Fermina again after her husband died, and gradually Alyssa became a regular visitor to Fermina's family.
Like the countless letters that Alyssa wrote to Fermina when she was young, Alyssa wrote to Fermina at this time, and after decades, the love of her youth, when she wrote again at this time, that love still seems to have not changed.
Alyssa suggested that Fermina travel by boat, and Alyssa became the heir and top manager of her uncle's shipping company, accompanying Fermina on her travels.
During this trip, Alyssa was still in love with Fermina as before.
But it is known that in his twilight years, as written in the text, his old body, under the erosion of time, has become rotten.
Man does not die immediately, nor does he decay after death, but at the end of his life, he has actually begun to rush to the ceremony of death, and when the new Chen cannot cancel each other out of metabolism, man has begun to decay until he stops breathing, and then goes to complete decay.
Alyssa feared that Fermina would dislike the corruption in herself, the love that was so old that even he himself could no longer believe it.
But Fermina didn't dislike him, and she wanted to spend the last days of her life with Alyssa.
They interpreted the original love as simply staying together, interpreting it as being by each other's side.
But the trip would always come to an end, and the thought of returning to Hong Kong would make them separate again, and Fermina was melancholy, and Alyssa was not.
At that time, it was in the period of cholera, and there was a rule for ships traveling at sea, as long as it was found that someone on the ship was infected with cholera, in order to prevent cholera from infecting the city, it would be omitted from port inspections, and people on the ship would not be allowed to go ashore, so that those ships infected with cholera had been adrift at sea.
Aware of these rules, Alyssa ordered the ship to hang a flag indicating that someone had contracted cholera and ordered the ship to make another U-turn from the port on its way back and set off again.
The captain heard Alyssa's decision and said, "Shall we let the ship run back and forth across the sea like this?"
That's how the story ends.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="94" > a lifetime of waiting</h1>
Alyssa cherished the last days of love, he did not want to wait any longer, he just wanted to stay with Fermina in the last days of his life, even if it was to let the ship run back and forth on the course.
After reading this book, I felt in my heart at Alyssa's final decision, what kind of love is this?
This is a novel worth reading, reading it, it makes people feel that the world has been alive for hundreds of years, like the things of several lifetimes, but some things as long as they persist, may be able to wait for good results, such as Alyssa's love.
But it may not be certain, after all, there will be many things that cannot wait for a hundred years.
Only by waiting can there be a glimmer of life, and only by persevering can we have the last chance.
