Chapter 238: Romantic Feelings

Romantic feelings Zhang Baotong 2016.9.24

I still don't believe that "Jiao Da in Jiafu doesn't love Sister Lin." "Mr. Lu Xun said in his essay "Two Heart Collections, Hard Translations and the Class Nature of Literature": "Jiao Da in Jiafu will never fall in love with Sister Lin."www.biquge.info "Looking through "Dream of Red Mansions", I really didn't find a single word that Jiao Da fell in love with Sister Lin.

Although Jiao Da is a slave of Jiafu, he is also a little old, and he has a great distance from the young, beautiful and talented Lin Daiyu in terms of identity and age. But this does not mean that Jiao Da does not love Sister Lin. Also in Lu Xun's novel, Ah Q has no room, no ridge on the ground, sleeps in the Tugu Temple, wears tattered clothes, and dreams of falling in love. Not to mention the dream of falling in love, he also picks and chooses, disgusted "Zhao Sichen's sister has a scar on her eye, the wife of the fake foreign devil has slept with a foreigner, and Wu's mother has too big feet." After thinking about it, he really knelt down to show his love to Mother Wu, but he was chased all over the yard by Mrs. Zhao with a big stick, and almost lost his life.

Compared with Ah Q, Jiao Da is very self-aware, he knows the huge gap between his status, identity and age with Lin Daiyu, so even if he likes and loves Sister Lin in his heart, he will not show it, so as to make people laugh and embarrass himself.

In fact, loving someone does not mean marrying him or having any close relationship with him. Loving someone is sometimes liking someone, admiring someone, and even loving and admiring someone. For example, we may like a certain cute little girl, or we will have a crush on a lovely woman in our hearts. These are quite normal. There are many women in our lives who make our hearts flutter and love, both in reality and in movies, even if we have a deep affection for them in our lives, but we can't love them, or even get close.

I remember when I went back to my hometown last year, I had to go for a run in West Lake Park every morning. The park was originally renovated from a large reservoir on the edge of the city. There is a straight walkway between the park and the lake. I ran two or three laps back and forth along the sidewalk every day. At this time, I always see a girl in a green cardigan with a red jacket tied around her waist also running back and forth on this track. This girl is about twenty-two or three years old, with a good appearance and a toned body, and looking at her light and graceful posture when running, one feels a youthful vigor and youthful vitality. After she finished running, she stopped on the lawn of the park and began to play music on her mobile phone while taking selfies with her mobile phone in various gestures. I was standing not far away, looking at her incessantly. I think this girl is really pure and beautiful, lively and cute. I thought that if I was young, I must boldly woo her. In order to see the cute figure of this girl, I insisted on running every day until I left my hometown and returned to Xi'an.

I have read Yasunari Kawabata's "The Singer of Izu" and have a deep fascination with the singer in the book. So, I don't know how many times I've read this novel. Later, I watched the movie again, and the singer was played by sixteen-year-old Momoe Yamaguchi. After that, the sixteen-year-old Momoe Yamaguchi became the eternal singer in my mind. Sometimes, we even have a chance encounter in a dream with a girl we like, even strangers. Let's relive the innocence and beauty of our youth once again.

The girl running in the park in my hometown, the singer from Izu, and even the **********, often inadvertently appear in my mind or heart, making me think about right and wrong for a long time. Every time I think of this, I will reflect a gorgeous rainbow and a wonderful sunset in my heart. I know that's romance, that's infatuation. It makes me feel good and feel good.

Our affection for young girls and beautiful women does not mean that we are lustful. It can only show that our love of beauty and aesthetic taste are still young, still pure, still confident and healthy. It shows that we still have poetic emotions and romantic feelings in our hearts. People live because they have that breath, but people's joys, sorrows, loves, hatreds, and hatreds are because of this feeling. Without this, our lives would be much inferior, and our world would be much darker. The heart is a very wonderful organ in our human body. It allows us to treasure many of the fascinating and secret things that are often the most emotional and attached to us. Good things are like delicious nutrients that can make our hearts feel relaxed, warm and beautiful. So, we can open our hearts and hearts to love whoever we love. Even if some people think that this is the lustful heart, but we just spend it in our hearts, and we don't show it, don't show it, and we can't do stupid things like Ah Q.

I don't know if it's because I was born with it, or because I studied foreign languages, I always have a long and unforgettable romantic feelings in foreign literature. "Essays on the Lakeside", "First Love", "Sicilian Lemon" and "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" are all works that I have read many times. It's just that in recent years, I rarely read books anymore, but as long as there are better foreign movies, I have to watch them. I have also watched some foreign classics many times, such as "Broken Blue Bridge", "Roman Holiday", "Vanity Fair" and "Titanic". Some movies don't enjoy watching once and I just use my computer to watch them again or twice. Moreover, every time after watching it, I will lie on the bed, review and think for a long time, and repeatedly revisit and appreciate those wonderful pieces in the film.

Maybe it's because I've watched too many bookcases and movies of foreign classics, but I don't appreciate much of my country's literature and movies in recent years. I think Chinese literature is much worse than it was more than 20 years ago, when I subscribed to "Novel Monthly" and "Selected Novels", and I read Lu Yao's "Life" and Chen Zhongzhong's "White Deer Plateau" two or three times in one go. Although there have been a lot of literary works in recent years, there are very few that really interest me. In particular, most of Chinese movies are fake and empty, except for some beautiful and dull faces that keep dangling around, in fact, there are no romantic and interesting plots, even if there are some romantic plots, they are very fake, and the traces of fabrication are very obvious. Chinese movies only know how to work the scene and background, but the storyline is pale. And it's the same as the TV series, it's either a costume or a fight, which is very monotonous and boring. Therefore, I have to watch the trailers of foreign movies on the CCTV movie channel every week, and I will watch them if they are good, and I will not watch them if they are not good. However, I found that there are still a lot of good movies in those foreign movies.

Although our lives are better now, and we don't have to worry about food and clothing, there are very few things that really make us feel beautiful and tempting. Especially as we get older, we can't get the romance and emotion that only young people can get in reality. In fact, young people are also bored nowadays, and their romance is more about spending money and consumption, such as a man giving 999 red roses to a woman, or a man spending a lot of money to buy a diamond ring for a woman. And the kind of pure and emotional romance in "The Singer of Izu" has made them invisible and untouchable. If you can't see or touch, you can't learn. So, their expression of love and the way of romance is simply spending money and shopping. Over time, it is easy to form a mechanical pattern and an indifferent mentality. This is a typical manifestation of a lack of romantic feelings. And how can a person who lacks romantic feelings have a beautiful heart?

Just like a rich man does not become a nobleman, although he can spend a lot of money, his spiritual height and behavior are still the same as those of a local tyrant. Even if such a person drives a luxury car and takes a beautiful woman to travel to the most famous places, he will not have any romantic mood, but will make him look even more vulgar. Because he always thinks that romance is created with money and panache.

Material abundance and laziness of the mind are the characteristics and pathos of our modern people. Some people say that as long as the material conditions are ripe, spiritual civilization will go up. This is a very harmful false proposition. Over the past 30 years or so of reform and opening up, China's economy has developed rapidly and our living standards have improved markedly, but our mental state is far inferior to that of the fifties and sixties. Economic development, material enrichment, and the improvement of life require a more advanced spiritual civilization and spiritual beauty to match and adapt to it. Otherwise, we will only get poorer.

A person's need for material life is very simple and limited. It's nothing more than three meals a day, and these three meals should be as light as possible. And our hearts are incomparably noble. It requires us to enrich it and satisfy it with the most precious, beautiful, romantic and touching nourishment. A hint of beauty can make it feel moved. A touch of romance can make it feel beautiful. How does it make our hearts feel when we accumulate all this romance and beauty and fill our hearts?

The nobility of the spirit and the beauty of the soul will make us feel that life is incomparably beautiful. Beautiful feelings will make us know how to love and be loved, and will make us consciously and unconsciously create and create that beautiful time, space and situation. What kind of mood is it to live in such a beautiful time, space and scene?

"The spring breeze is still there, and the sunset is red several times" is romantic; "Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and leisurely looking at Nanshan" is also romantic.

"Wet clothes want to wet the apricot blossom rain, blowing the face does not chill the willow wind" is romantic; "Die before leaving the school, and make the hero cry" is also romantic.

"Seeing flowers in the fog and looking at the moon in the water" is romantic, and "flowers are full moon, flowing clouds" is also romantic.

It is romantic for women to wear floral dresses to swagger through the market, and it is also romantic for men to fight on the battlefield.

Romance is not only a love and attraction between men and women, it is a passion, a mood, a poetry, a feeling, a broad and fantastical feeling. Like a meteor streaked across the night sky, like a flash in the pan. The short-term splendor and splendor are reflected in people's hearts and embedded in people's memories.

Romance not only makes people's hearts beautiful and feels good, but also allows people to get rid of the loneliness, isolation and barrenness of the heart, and become pleasing to the eye and warm.

China used to be a poetic country, and poetry and literature have always been the spiritual home of the Chinese people. But few modern Chinese understand romance. Most people go back and forth between work, eating, and sleeping, and there are few romantic ideas such as traveling, chanting poetry, and admiring the moon, and people would rather play with the computer and look at their mobile phones than spend their precious time watching a few more classic bookcases and movies. As the Qing Dynasty poet Zhang Can said, "Qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, hops, back then, everything was inseparable from it, but now the seven things have changed, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea." Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are indeed more realistic and real than qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and hops, but if a person spends his time all day on these realistic and real affairs, then how boring and poor his life should be.
