Of course, we can also say that there was nothing at all between them, it was just a yearning for an ideal love. But for Jinbo, it was real and engraved in his heart. He used to make tea every day, the seemingly ordinary white enamel cylinder is his "proof of youth and love".
The book is not a lot of positive description of Jinbo's love, only less than ten pages of text. But this is a few short pages of text, reading is like a story, so that people can not calm down for a long time. This love, can be said to be the world's strange, but also incredible, because in addition to know that the Tibetan girl will sing, the two people for each other is nothing to know. But it was the song that brought the two young men closer together. He didn't know what the Tibetan girl's name was, and even looked from afar every time he saw her, and their actual meeting had only happened once. It was a scene that would have moved anyone who saw it: the two of them could not speak the language, so they could only use their hands to gesture, but they knew what the other was saying. When they hugged each other tightly, the book says, "Nothing else in the world existed.
This short-lived warmth brought Jinbo a great disaster: he was dismissed from the army, and followed his father in the county post office to carry bags. In his own words, his situation is not better than Sun Shaoping, only his father has a job in the city, he is not like Shaoping will not labor on the street.
After the love affair, Jinbo is no longer the "smart and mischievous" child, he has become "mature and deep". When Shaoping and Jinbo, two friends who have been out and about, get together and talk about their life, they stop talking and fall into "a kind of long deep thought".
Jinbo, like Sun Shaoping, is a man who is willing to fight for his ideals. They dare to think and act, love and hate, and do anything with a vengeance. They are willing to pursue the happiness they want, and at the same time, they are also brave to take responsibility, which is a sharp contrast to Sun Shaoan. So when Jin Bo is confronted with a love that is placed in front of him, he will never give up, even if he will face the worst consequences for doing so. He tries, but unfortunately he also fails. It is the pain hidden inside that makes him grow up all at once.
This pain that grew inside made him ache almost every day. And when he drove a mail truck on the road and met Li Qianqian by chance, the two people with the same disease finally broke out in an instant. So, in that windy night, in the desert, the two of them, in order to cry for the woman they love, one sings, "crazy and desperate" pain.
Jinbo's love came and went in a hurry, he did not have time to taste what it is like to be gone, disappeared forever in his life. Jin Bo's love is like a dream, a dream about youth and love. This dream woke up, but the dreamer is not willing to wake up, always want to make this dream stay. Jin Bo, this righteous and generous man, after the dream was shattered, life became fragmented.
Just when he finally decided to go to Qinghai to pursue the love of the year, but found that the time has changed, there has been a change of things. The former horse farm has long since disappeared, he can no longer find the Tibetan girl who can sing "in that faraway place". Maybe she has long forgotten this early love, has married and have children, maybe she and Jinbo as well in the moment miss and hold on to the love ...... All this we have no way to know. But at this moment Jin Bo is completely desperate, he knows that love can never be found back, the only thing he can do is to come back from that once let him crazy, let him sad that distant place.
Jinbo's not-so-perfect love is more like a commentary on Shaoping's love, and on the love of all the characters in the book: there are always some bad things that happen in love, but sometimes more, sometimes less.
