Red roses in Li Ao.

After reading Li Ao's Red Rose, I suddenly felt that this talented, eloquent and arrogant writer in Taiwan Province Province turned out to be so affectionate. He doesn't write many essays, but this one is excellent.

A poor red rose was chosen by Li Ao among a bunch of flowers, symbolizing the woman he loved. He spent a long paragraph describing the many advantages of this red rose, which completely suits her.

Soft, tender leaves, petite, timid, light and fresh.

After breaking up, he put Red Rose in a friend's house. A friend knew his mind and invited him to see it when it bloomed the next year. His mood is very complicated.

Looking at this lonely flower, he recalled the good times when he was alone with her. Between heaven and earth seems to be only the two of them, inseparable:

Watch the sunrise, the moonlight, the twinkling stars and the vast sea of clouds together; We listened to birds, insects, the whistling of the evening breeze and the singing of Ai Lier.

Drunk outside the line of life and death; Sleeping in the flowers, there is no one else in the world, only her and me; There is no one else in her eyes but roses. ...

He described breaking up like this, which is very philosophical:

Dreams, in the final analysis, are flying fog and light smoke, which bring you out of your ideal and push you to reality.

When red roses are in full bloom, they also sow the message of withering.

The most beautiful things have the fastest ending, even if they fade, the lingering fragrance is still intoxicating.

Finally, he used his conversation with the owner of the rose garden to describe that only one rose bloomed, and explained the status quo of the two:

She is still lonely, this year she is not, last year she was.

Li Ao is really a master of languages. Every sentence in this article is beautifully written, so you should memorize it.
