Wen/Pear River Water (original article, plagiarism must be punished)

Zhang Eileen said: Perhaps every man has had such two women, at least two. Married red roses, over time, the red became a wall of a touch of mosquito blood, white or "bed before the moonlight", married white roses, white is a grain of rice on the clothes stick, red is a vermilion mole on the mouth of the heart.

And the author would like to say, no matter "red rose", or "white rose", when encountered "Tong Zhenbao", the last will not be the wall of the mosquito blood, not to mention that the wall is not a "red rose". Mosquito blood, not to mention the clothes on the rice sticky, but that never counted on the "rose". I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm going to be able to do it, and I'm going to be able to do it.

People who have read Eileen Chang's "Red Rose and White Rose" know that the reason why the women in it are called Red Rose and White Rose is because Tong Zhenbao's first love is called Rose.

So, when he met his passionate lover Wang Jiaorui, he called her the red rose, and when he met his quiet and virtuous wife Meng Yanwei, he called her the white rose.

However, regardless of the first love rose on Tong Zhenbao how deep love, mistress Wang Jiaorui let him how passionate, his wife Meng Yan oriole so that he is how assured of solidity, Tong Zhenbao will not allow them to get what they should have belonging and love.

What exactly is the reason? This is from Tong Zhenbao in the face of three "roses" when the psychological activities.

Because it is the first love, Tong Zhenbao called her Rose. Rose is a mixed-race girl, she is spontaneous, youthful, and Tong Zhenbao favor this kind of heat wave and cheerful women, so the two people will play together logically.

Every Saturday, they always run a few dance floors in a row. When they danced, they danced passionately, and when they didn't dance, they sat and talked and joked with each other.

In the eyes of outsiders, the two are a pair of lovers who are in the heat of the moment, and will hold hands and walk into the marriage hall of the young couple, but in Zhenbao do not think so.

In his eyes, Rose is just a normal woman. She's a no-holds-barred person, and anyone can make a buck on her. She is casual with Zhenbao and Zhenbao thinks she is naive. When she was casual with anyone, Zhenbao thought she was a bit crazy. A woman like that may be commonplace in a foreign country, but it won't work in China. Marrying her and transplanting her into the society back home would be a laborious and costly endeavor.

On the surface, Zhenbao seems to have some sense, after all, in that thought in the thick feudal society, who married a woman so open to sex, not worried about the strange.

But in essence, it's still a matter of deep love.

In Tong Zhenbao's opinion, such a woman can be a play, but if you marry home that's not possible, she is not worthy of his heart, and not worth a lifetime with him.

And then with a sentence of labor, and a sentence does not count, will love him to the deepest cuts of the girl sentenced to death, and even on the verge of he did not even touch her a little bit, and since then often take the "in that case can control their own, and now can not control it" words to motivate themselves, but also to make the girl's life easier. I'm not going to be able to do that, but I'm going to be able to do it.

Honestly, when I saw Tong Zhenbao face the rose in front of me, and still remain sensible and sober, I was secretly thumbs up in my heart. And this also gives the first feeling that this is a good man worth trusting.

But the fact is, Tong Zhenbao this is not the love of the reserved, but not the love of the decisive, let a person disappointed, he is not only on the first love of such a decisive, on the lover and his wife is more so.

Wang Jiao Rui is Tong Zhenbao's friend Wang Shihong's wife, she is passionate, emotional hot, Tong Zhenbao borrowed in her home, it happened with its intimate contact.

At first, the two met with a hitch when talking, but not long, Wang Jiaorui will see through the Tong Zhenbao: " You are deducting yourself, in fact, you are the same with me is a playful and delicious people.

In his opinion: Wang Shihong's old man has money, unlike him who relies on himself to move forward, such a woman is a drag. If it is all day with her quarrel, it is not a thing, the man's ambition are worn out.

Seeing this psychological description, you have a sense of déjà vu. Previously, in the face of the first love rose, Tong Zhenbao in the heart of the same had a similar judgment.

But even so, Tong Zhenbao still did not block the temptation of the heart, in a rainy day, he and Wang Jiaorui completely befriended. From then on, the two of them are in love with each other, and the two of them are in love with each other, and the two of them are in love with each other, and the two of them are in love with each other.

To this, I thought Tong Zhenbao will fall under the garnet skirt of Wang Jiaorui, but the author is wrong, because in Tong Zhenbao's heart there is a rod of interest in the benchmark at all times to measure his own.

As described in the book: With her, there is no need to debate, everything is extremely clear, they love each other, and should love to go on. Without her around, he had the chance to come up with all sorts of objections. As it was, he suspected that he had been a fool, and had fallen into a trap. She loves Ti Misun, but deliberately put the wet shirt over his head, only to say that for him and her husband divorce, if the community does not agree, is ruined his future.

But in order to be able to be with him, always born in the blessed nest of Wang Jiaorui not hesitate to divorce with that rich husband, to give her freedom, and in order to make up for the fault of her preemptive and determined to return to the good from the good in the future, has always been a delicate and haughty Wang Jiaorui do not hesitate to lower the head of the noble, to flatter to please Tong Zhenbao "You Don't worry, I've changed everything, I'll never drag you down.

However, Wang Jiaorui's reckless show of love did not let Tong Zhenbao firm resolve to be with her, but instead let Tong Zhenbao fled further and further away.

He even said "Jiao Rui, if you love me, you can't stop thinking about me. In the end, Shihong is my friend, and society will never forgive me. Our love can only be the love of a friend, it was all my fault before, I am sorry for you. But now, write to him without telling me, that's your fault. ...... Jiao Rui, what do you think, when he comes, you say that it is a joke with him, but only to coax him to come back early. He will believe, if he wants to believe" the bastard words.

And this makes Wang Jiaorui completely dead to him. Just see her just lying next to him crying and wiping tears, in an instant, she lifted her red face, staring at him, and then quickly stood up straight, very surprised at how they will get to this point, she took out a small mirror side of the head around a light, and then the hair grass back a stroke, and finally took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears, press down the nose, the positive eyes did not look at him, and this went away.

When you want to love, you have to go out of your way to possess, and when you don't want to love, you have to find excuses to push away all of them. This kind of man is afraid of any woman will be discouraged by the encounter!

And in Tong Zhenbao's thinking, no matter how many waves the red rose finally tossed out, and how to make a choice, she still can't change the most primitive color " she has many lovers, more than one less than one, and she doesn't care"

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I think it's a great idea.

There are many kinds of women in the world, but the common ones are only three. For Tong Zhenbao, youthful and happy rose he did not want, hot and passionate red rose he did not marry, that quiet and virtuous white rose should be his final choice! The first time I saw this is when I was in the middle of the night, and I was in the middle of the night.

Meng smoke oriole is Tong Zhenbao mother introduced to know, she was twenty-two years old, I thin and thin, but wide soft beautiful. In Tong Zhenbao and her first meeting, it was determined that "it is her strike".

Originally thought Tong Zhenbao this found a soul mate, but let a person unexpected, in the two into the marriage life, all the good are Tong Zhenbao's putty to make it unattractive.

At first, Tong Zhenbao is very much in favor of Meng Smoke oriole, she is not only reserved and gentle, but also with his mother to get along better, and more importantly, the body of her teenage beauty so that he can get emotional satisfaction. But the days did not last long, Tong Zhenbao Meng Yan oriole born tired of.

The root cause of this is that Meng Yan oriole does not like to "do indoor sports", which makes Tong Zhenbao very angry. Gradually, Tong Zhenbao lost interest in Meng Yanxiao and found her boring, so he began to stay out of prostitution.

And about these things, Meng Yan oriole did not suspect, not for anything else, because she loved him, she thought Zhenbao is in order to socialize and can not return home.

But people have long ears and long mouths, and will inevitably listen to some gossip. And, the people have seven feelings and six desires, regardless of men and women. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get a good deal on a new product, but I'm sure you're going to be able to get a good deal on a new product.

The sad thing is, not being treated well by the marriage of Meng Yan oriole also failed to resist the temptation of the outside emotions, she and a tailor fornication, and this also let Tong Zhenbao caught a square, and from then on Tong Zhenbao will be completely torn to the last trace of his sympathy for Meng Yan oriole.

"I treated her well! I don't love her, but I haven't done anything wrong to her. I can't treat her badly. Dirty thing, about the time she knew she was so incapable that she had to find one even lower than she was. To comfort herself. But I treated her so well, so well."

It is said that marriage is the grave of love, at first I do not think so, until I saw the married life of Meng Yan oriole, they really believe that sentence.

Imagine, what woman is willing to treat herself with a cold all day long, no desire to care for their own men to live? More than marriage, the woman most want to get a man's love. But if the marriage has, love empty, then this marriage in the grave and how different?

In the end, Eileen Chang was kind enough to pull Tong Zhenbao back from his drunken life and give him a chance to change his ways.

But for Meng, although Zhenbao married her, he didn't care for her, so what's the difference between a rose and a red rose? The first time I saw this was when I was a student at the University of California, Berkeley, and the second time I saw it was when I was a student at the University of California, Berkeley.

Three different roses have different temperaments, but when it comes to Tong Zhenbao, they are not unlike the same love of abandonment.

Here, perhaps some people will still be on the three roses to pick faults to find the reason, said they are too open, said they are too flirty, said they do not know how to reserve their own.

But I think, although the body of the three roses do have a lot of unspeakable shortcomings, but these are not Tong Zhenbao abandoned them the ultimate reason.

The root of the problem is still because Tong Zhenbao is too sensible, too capable of restraining himself, and too concerned about his own feelings. In other words, he learns to plan his life rationally, learns to stop at the right moment, learns the way to success, but only fails to learn how to love.

Perhaps I say this, we may still feel a little strange, after all, the book of the fornication with a friend's wife, and in the marriage of the constant derailment to find a wild woman Tong Zhenbao, how to say with restraint can not hang hooks. In other words, that often go out to hang out with Tong Zhenbao image has been preconceived, engraved in the marrow of people's thoughts, so that people only arbitrarily brought up, they do not pretend to say out.

But there is a paragraph in the book that describes Tong Zhenbao:

He has a beginning, an end, and a method, and his whole place is such a most reasonable idea of a modern Chinese character, even though he encountered things that are not as reasonable as he would like to be, to his heart asked the mouth, the mouth asked the heart, a few times a conditioning, but also became as if the idealization of the world, everything in its own place. He is the right way out, went abroad to get a degree, and in the factory internship, but but real talent, and is half-work, half-study to fight down the world. He reached a high position in an old foreign dyeing and weaving company. Serving his mother, who is not as thoughtful as he is; promote his brother, who is not as conscientious as he is; office, who is not as fiery and serious as he is; treating his friends, who is not as enthusiastic and righteous as he is.

See here, we can not help but think that this is a man how successful, self-discipline, ideal, goals, ability, and money, such a man is afraid of a woman will be in the inner ripples!

Yes, such a near-perfect man for anyone who would like, the book of the rose, a friend's wife Wang Jiaorui, pure as jade Meng smoke oriole, which is not for his heartbreak, love to the point of being unable to extricate themselves?

But this is such a nearly perfect sensible man, but let all the roses who love him love and can not be, bruised, as said above, Tong Zhenbao learned all the world is considered good instincts, but only did not learn how to love.

Here, the author has not so much sympathized with the encounter of the three roses, but rather lamented Tong Zhenbao's pathetic.

As the book says, there are so many people in the world, but they can't accompany you home. At the end of the night, and whenever, as long as it is a life and death situation, the deep dark place, then there can only be a sincere love of the wife.

But the sincere love of his wife Tong Zhenbao clearly already have, but he did not cherish, which inevitably makes people feel a burst of misery.

Lin Ching-hsien said: reason is only a part of life, emotion and love is the whole of life.

The rice sticky son or, Zhu Sha Mole also, if the life of the less love and emotion, that all is barren.
