Whether Chinese or foreign, from ancient times to the present, love has always been a controversial topic, and it is also a topic that many literati and inkers write about the most. Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, Romeo and Juliet, Du Shiniang's Angry Sink treasure chest, Xi Xiang Ji...
Shen Congwen's "Border City", with the beautiful brushstrokes of both lyric poems and sketches, depicts the unique customs and customs of a border city town in the western Hunan region, not only because of the beautiful scenery written by Shen Congwen, but also because a love story that happened here makes this place attract endless reverie of future generations.

In the small mountain town on the border of western Hunan Province, the old boatman made a living by helping people cross the river.

However, unexpectedly, the boss Tianbao also liked Cuicui and asked the matchmaker to go to Cuicui's house to propose to him. When the two brothers knew that they liked the same person, they did not use the local duel method, but used the way of singing love songs, and let Cuicui make a choice.
However, there was only one night when there was singing. Subsequently, the bad news of Tenho's drowning came, and Hezu also ran away guiltily because of his brother's death.

Perhaps because the world likes happy endings, and Xiao Caitou is no exception, he has always been grumpy about this ending. Three young people who were originally full of yearning for love, one who loved and could not, one who felt guilty for a lifetime, one who waited endlessly...
What is love?
Sometimes, I feel that love is Zhou Yu hitting Huang Gai - one willing to fight one wish to be beaten.
Some people love but can't, and some don't know how to cherish. Zhang Ailing said in "Red Roses and White Roses" that when a man marries a red rose, the long red will change into a touch of mosquito blood on the wall, and the white one is still "the bright moonlight in front of the bed"; Married to a white rose, the white one eventually became a grain of rice sticky on the clothes, and the red one was still a cinnabar mole in the heart.
White moonlight or cinnabar moles, the favored always have no fear, and what they can't get is always in turmoil.
But perhaps it is because of the imperfection of love that it has attracted endless yearning and reverie from future generations.
What kind of love do you yearn for? And what kind of love are you experiencing?
