Living is a problem in itself

I was moved by the heroine's loss when she learned that the war was over - "I don't actually want the war to end so much". Yes, a series of encounters made "revenge" the center of her life all along, and the end of the war made her lose the meaning of existence. War brings not only trauma, but also loss of self.
What about us? Every day I go to work with the feeling of going to the grave, and I fight a cat-and-mouse battle with my boss. However, I am really at a loss when I have regained my freedom. In the same way, the previous overtime dog's life was actually a state of "work" as the center of life, and it was also self-lost in this prosperous world.
No matter what era you live in, being alive is a problem in itself. What saves you is not the "black book" that records the truth, but your heart.
Friends say that after all, I am not strong enough, and there is so much helplessness in life. Poor people have something to hate, even themselves. Polish the dusty heart and see clearly what is the center of your life.

    3.5 The plot comes first, and the characters other than the heroine are too hollow. Compared with Lust and Caution, the two have different paths. Rachel is the absolute center, male/patriarchy is her foil, seduction is also self "reform", luck has helped her avoid many disasters. The ups and downs of its fate are attributed to the current situation, rather than pointing to more complex and rich layers, making it so charming and glamorous that it is less human when it is amazing.

    Known as the European version of Lust Precepts, but I think it is more plot than Lust Precepts. In the context of war, there is no right or wrong, no good and evil, no good and evil, only strengths and weaknesses. I think no one likes war! The heroine is really beautiful, not just her appearance.
