Human feelings are like thin sheets of paper, and the world is like a new chess game.

Li Bihua, a well-known mysterious writer in the Hong Kong literary circles, used that glamorous and concise huge pen to drill into people's hearts and write the love and hate of men and women in the world.
Many of her novels have been adapted into movies, and the wonderful thing is that almost all of these movies have been acclaimed, and "Farewell to the King" is one of the best.
It tells the legendary story of a generation of famous people in turbulent times.
Li Bihua said in the book: "In the human world, just erased the face of fat powder. ”
When I first watched "Farewell to the Overlord", I thought it was just the story of Cheng Diyi Duan Xiaolou.
Looking closely, I found that what was revealed was the naked true humanity of everyone after being erased from the "fat powder" in the red dust.
Don't overestimate your place in anyone's heart.
That year, after her mother cut off her deformed fingers, nine-year-old XiaoDouzi entered the drama class to learn drama, and was ridiculed by other children because her mother was born in Qinglou.
The tall and large small stone can't see past, and is bent on protecting Xiao Douzi, and this warmth makes Xiao Douzi extra attached to this master brother.
Together, they hung their voices, practiced exercises, and were punished, and they spent their youth together, and their feelings were particularly deep.
After becoming an adult, Xiao Douzi took the stage name Cheng Dieyi, and Xiao Shi took the stage name Duan Xiao Lou, and the two moved the Beijing Master for their joint performance of "Farewell to the Overlord".
Cheng Dieyi, who is deeply in love, does not distinguish between male and female for a while, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, he has a secret affection for Duan Xiaolou, and is eager to sing with Duan Xiaolou for a lifetime.
But Duan Xiaolou just laughed and thought that this disciple was "not crazy and can't live", for him, singing is just a subsistence job.
One day, Cheng Dieyi was in The Mansion of Fourth Master Yuan and saw the sword that he had made a wish to give to Xiao Lou when he was young.
He begged for it and gave it to Xiao Lou.
Full of thought that Xiao Lou would be very surprised, who knew that he had completely forgotten his wish when he was young, and only said in surprise: "If you don't go to power, what do you want the sword for?" ”
Di Yi asked Xiao Lou if he remembered where he first sang "Overlord Farewell" on stage together.
Xiao Lou couldn't remember it at all, but his friends on the side still remembered it.
What feelings are most afraid of is to overestimate their position in the other person's heart.
I am sincere, every fragment of getting along is unforgettable, but the other party is indifferent, and the water flows without a trace.
The wheel of history rolls forward to an era of absurdity and self-danger.
Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou wore costumes, painted oil paint, and were paraded in the streets.
Under the high pressure of destroying human nature, Duan Xiaolou's psychological defense line collapsed, and in order to protect himself, he publicly exposed Cheng Dieyi as a traitor, only because Dieyi had sung to the Japanese.
Chai Jing said in "Seeing": "Man can torture sin from whiteness, and he can also torture whiteness from sin." ”
Human nature is inherently selfish, and the love we think is deep and righteous, and perhaps, at some critical moment, it will be destroyed.
As it is said in the "Augmented Sages": "Human feelings are like thin paper, and the world is like a chess game." ”
No matter how good the feelings are, they cannot withstand temptation; no matter how deep the relationship, they cannot resist change.
In the noisy and impetuous world, some sincerity is destined to draw water from a bamboo basket, and some affection is destined to be gone and never returned.
Protect your own heart, do not overestimate your position in the hearts of others, and do not deliberately pursue a relationship, so that you will not let yourself be bruised.
No feeling can stand the test.
When Duan Xiaolou went to Hua Man Lou to drink flower wine, he saved the JuXian girl with a sense of righteousness.
Accustomed to seeing the thin and widowed man on the wind and moon field, Ju Xian was very touched by this, and she thought that Xiao Duan was a man worth entrusting for life.
So he took out all his life savings to redeem himself and married him deadly.
Ju Xian washed all the lead, washed and cooked for him, loved him wholeheartedly, loved him so much that she was willing to lose herself, even at the cost of offending others.
They also had children.
Unfortunately, that year, Xiao Duan clashed with the soldiers, and Ju Xian, who was pregnant with Rokko who was about to give birth, disregarded herself and rushed into the crowd to rescue her husband.
In the midst of the chaos, she miscarried. His life was saved, but after that, he did not have any more children.
At the end of the day, it was he who owed her.
Later, in that special era, in order to protect himself, Duan Xiaolou not only exposed Cheng Dieyi, but also, in order to draw a clear line with Ju Xian, he said that he did not love her.
Duan Xiaolou's so-called love, in the face of the test, was so fragile.
After this, Ju Xian, who had already borne the pressure of the soul, was completely desperate for love and human nature, and under the ashes of all thoughts, she hanged herself.
Maugham, a poisonous tongue man, once said: "Love seems to be a vulgar basket filled with everyone's desires, worship, gratitude, ambition, status, interests, laziness, fear, dependence..."
When love is as sweet as honey, we always think that the love between each other is stronger than gold.
But when the fog of love dissipated, it was found that the people who loved each other again also had many other things in their hearts.
At the critical moment, there is also a bloody diaphragm and suspicion.
There was once a netizen on Zhihu who told his experience.
Not long ago, she had a lump in her breast, and the doctor told her that it was probably a tumor.
At night, she stumbled upon a chat between her husband and her friends.
The husband told his friend: "It is impossible to sell the house, first cure, it is really impossible to divorce, I can't spend my life for her." ”
This netizen suddenly felt that a basin of cold water, ten years of marital love, in the face of a disease that may not be there, is so vulnerable.
In the final analysis, no feeling can stand the test.
There is an old Chinese saying: Husband and wife are originally the same forest bird, and they fly separately when the big trouble comes.
Human nature itself is selfish, and there is no filial piety before the bed for a long time, let alone a couple who are not related by blood.
Therefore, even if you love someone again, you must leave some room for yourself, and do not test your feelings casually.
Do not wronged yourself, do not owe each other, do not deliberately pursue an emotion, nor do you painstakingly retain a feeling that is doomed to failure, so that life can be stable.
The human heart is good, but don't underestimate the evil of the human heart.
The philosopher Nietzsche once said that man is a rope between superman and beast.
When "superman" dominates, human nature is good; when "beasts" prevail, the greed, jealousy, and viciousness hidden in human nature will be exposed, and morality and emotions will disappear in the face of "evil".
Cheng Dieyi is a person with a pure heart, he is only the supremacy of art, and he is also a piece of sincerity to others.
After the great changes of the times, the form of Peking Opera has also undergone great changes.
Butterfly alone, opposed modern drama, and insisted on the art in his heart.
He couldn't sing the drama he wanted to sing, he simply closed the door and couldn't come out, Xiao Lou came to persuade him, and he didn't change his original intention.
Such a pure and virtuous person is still deeply hurt by the evil in the hearts of others.
When he was young, Dieyi once picked up an abandoned baby in the well and named him XiaoSi, and after his master's death, Dieyi adopted him.
Di Yi was full of expectations that Xiao Si could inherit the blood of Peking Opera, and all along, he strictly required Xiao Si to sing and play, and he taught him by hand.
Who knows, it is actually a tiger breeding disease.
Xiao Si is too impetuous and impatient, can't afford to suffer, and only wants to take shortcuts to become famous.
In order to get ahead, Xiao Si did his best to provoke the relationship between the benefactor Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou.
In the end, he squeezed out Cheng Dieyi and seized the role of Yu Ji, which indirectly led to Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou cutting off contact.
In that special era, Xiao Si framed Duan Xiaolou with his bare hands and forced him to frame Di Yi.
After Xiao Lou did not comply, he was pulled to bully, which eventually led to the breakdown of the relationship between the three of them.
However, what is snatched by vicious means will eventually be lost.
When Xiao Si wore the gorgeous head of Cheng Butterfly and sang the lyrics of "Farewell to the Overlord", a group of revolutionary young generals rushed to him and arrested him.
Little Four eventually went to his own destruction.
"Fighting rice to raise enemies", poor butterfly clothes wait for Xiao Si to be sincere, and in the end, this pure sincerity is like a bright moon shining on the ditch, which is really angry and regrettable.
I have always felt that there are two kinds of people in the world who are most vulnerable to injury.
One is a soft-hearted person, because they don't know how to refuse;
One is the kind of person who is too emotional, because there is no reservation.
As the saying goes: "It is difficult to draw a dragon and a tiger to draw a bone, and it is difficult to know the face of the person and not the heart." When people say three points, they can't throw away a piece of their hearts. ”
Remember: Kindness has a ruler, and tolerance has a degree.
We can be naïve, but we must not be ignorant; we can be sincere, but we must not be ignorant of people's hearts.
Never underestimate the evil of the human heart, and never take out your true heart casually.
"Seven points of fullness for eating is seven points good for people."
Lovers only love seven points, and must keep three points for themselves.

Finally, the days when things were turned upside down and turned upside down passed.
22 years later, Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou reunited to perform "Overlord Farewell".
Drama is like life, life is like drama, everything is like a world away.
When reciting "Si Fan" again, so many long years slid past in front of his eyes, looking at Duan Xiaolou around him, Cheng Dieyi was shocked to realize that this life was affectionately wrongly paid, and it was not a person.
After seeing the truth, he drew the sword from Xiao Lou's waist and put it on his neck like Yu Ji in the play, and fell to the ground...
"The Overlord is a false Overlord, but Yu Ji is the real Yu Ji."
The song finally dispersed, and this drama ended in silence after all.
