Reminds me of a story, an old song...

Let me tell you a story that has been circulating on the Internet for a long time:


on a TV show, the hostess asked a male guest aggressively: "Why do you care so much about money?" The male guest said: "Money can buy everything."

The audience was in an uproar!

The male guest smiled and said: "Let's take a test. A very simple theme: one of your enemies has fallen in love with your girlfriend and now wants you to quit. You are a normal person and you love your girlfriend. That man I'm willing to pay you a little money to compensate you."

All the audience disdain this argument, the male guest continued.

The man slowly offered the first price: "50,000!" The audience at the scene breathed a sigh of relief, and the arguments were concentrated: "50,000 is simply looking down on people, giving up love for 50,000? The more important thing is to give up yourself personality." Everyone invariably denied it.


The man then offered a second price: "500,000!" The voice at the scene was much quieter, and some people began to calculate. After a long time, the vast majority of men still chose to deny it, and the girlfriend beside him looked at him moved. Only a few people accepted the 500,000 yuan. One of them said, "I have no money. My parents have suffered all my life. When I am getting old and sick, I have no money for medical treatment. For the sake of my parents, give up love." The


man then offered a third price: "5 million!" The scene became even quieter. The man's first action was to look at the woman beside him, perhaps weighing something. Half of the men were silent, and the other half said timidly, "I want love." The girlfriend beside him was also a little stunned. A girl stood up and said, "If a man is willing to pay 5 million, I think I have no reason to reject him." The silent man chose money. 5 million can buy a house, a car, the whole family can live a good life, and even start their own business. A man said: "He is my enemy, I have these 5 million, I can take revenge, I can plan all my futures, and be a man who truly controls his own destiny." Some women looked at the men around them, if there was any Thoughts.


The man then offered a fourth price: "50 million!" There was an uproar in the audience! For most people, they won't earn that much in a lifetime. The woman said: "There is a man who is willing to spend 50 million for me. He undoubtedly loves me. Why not choose such a rich and dedicated man?" A man raised his hand: "He is really willing to pay 50 million After getting a positive answer, the man said: "Love is priceless, but I don't have the ability to take care of my lover. Others have it, I should give it up. And I have a lot of money, I can do a lot of meaningful things Things. I can make a career, I can help others, and that's what makes life meaningful." All agreed.


Only one person still chose to give up, and everyone looked at him with strange eyes. He explained: "My love is priceless!" When asked if his girlfriend was touched, she said: "Although I am touched, I am more touched by the person who paid 50 million for me, rather than giving up Someone with 50 million others. His views are respectable, but unrealistic." The


male guest smiled at this time: "All of you have chosen money."

There is a survey on the relationship between income and attractiveness. The results show that income is proportional to attractiveness. In other words, the richer you are, the more attractive you are.

Although the film was filmed in 1993, its excavation and reflection on human nature still has its distinct controversy and epoch today. How much power does money have? Can love be measured by money? Is there really something "not for sale" when the bid is generous enough? Are people more demanding of material things, or are they more demanding of spirituality? These questions may seem simple, but they are really difficult to answer.

The wife played by Demi Moore in the film is as radiant as she was in "Ghosts". The rich John, played by veteran actor Robert Redford, is mature and experienced. His bluntness, his charm, his boldness and his meticulousness, as well as the preciseness of a mature man's ability to handle emotions when he enters and exits, even if he finally "let go", he is a winner. To cast a contemptible, despicable, and filthy villain, Leng is a noble, elegant, and calm temperament. So much so that the humble, wretched, and capricious husband was completely compared.

It is worth mentioning that at the end of the film, the treatment of "love finally overcomes the temptation of money, and lovers get married" is still very "positive". However, this is just a movie. In real life, this kind of approximation is almost equivalent to 0.
In the end, the hero and heroine experienced the enlightenment of Nanke Yimeng, and when they met again on the dock where the two first proposed marriage, the dialogue between them was very literary and artistic...

"Have I ever told you I love you?" I Did I ever say I love you?

"No." No.

"I Do." I love you.

"Still?" Still in love?

"Always!" Always love! ...

Finally, there's that old song.


"Have I Told You Lately"

Song By: Zhang Xinzhe
Album : "The Colour Of The Night"


Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
You fill my heart with gladness
Take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles that's what you do

For the morning sun and all it's glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort too
You fill my heart with laughter
And somehow you make it better
Ease my troubles that's what you do

There's a love that's divine
And it's your's and it's mine
Like the sun ooh
And at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray
To the one, to the one

You fill my heart with gladness
Take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles that's what you do
