Why is life so bitter? The pain of life is nothing more than a request.
Harry had always wanted to lay a realistic foundation for their love, but her abilities were limited; Monica only wanted to live in unfettered love—born unequal, some born with a golden key, some of whom had to live a hard life from an early age—Monica didn't want to rely on her own hands to fight for it, and their love was doomed to fall apart and part ways.
But wasn't harry the same unscrupulous Monica he loved? At first he had suspected that Monica really loved him, and it was true that Monica just wanted someone to change her fate suddenly (no different from Madame Bovary), but they did have that dreamy summer, when they were ear-wrenching and frolicking, happy like two little lunatics, and that dreamy summer would be the best time they could have in their lives...
Monica is 17 years old, the younger brothers in the family are noisy all day, the father will scold them when he comes back drunk, the mother is busy with housework all day long, the vegetable shop where she works has some vulgar men touching her and eating her tofu, so she strongly longs for another life; Harry is 19 years old, he lost his mother at an early age, his father is silent, being a delivery man is boring, he and Monica meet, the lives of the two people have a lively color, and later pay the price of youthful impulses, what is the harshness of these two young people?
Rest assured, life will sooner or later teach you to grow painfully, so enjoy this time of wanton behavior first, and do not suffer from a mediocre life without even this short-lived beauty.
