"Make" love wasted years

——In the end, Leslie Cheung left and exiled himself in the endless yellow sand desert, while Maggie Cheung stayed behind, locking himself into a long wasted age.


The English name of "Evil in the East and West Poison" is Ashes of Time, the ashes of time. In a sense, this is a story about memory, forgetting and wasted years. Leslie Cheung loves Maggie Cheung, Maggie Cheung loves Leslie Cheung, Tony Leung loves Maggie Cheung, Brigitte Lin and Carina Lau love Tony Leung, and Tony Leung loves Carina Lau. In the end, no one was with anyone. Only Jacky Cheung took a girl with a blurred face and went north to the rivers and lakes, because he was simple enough.
(Theorem: Leslie Cheung = Ouyang Feng; Maggie Cheung = Sister-in-law Ouyang Feng; Liang Jiahui = Huang Yaoshi; Brigitte Lin = Murong Yan / Murong Yan / Dugu seek defeat; Tony Leung = blind swordsman; Carina Lau = Tao Hua, wife of a blind warrior; Jacky Cheung = Hong Qi.)
No matter what kind of woman Leslie Cheung encounters later, Maggie Cheung is what he thinks of. He remembered that she was unhappy every time she left her on a long trip, it would rain, and "she used to like me very much." What he didn't know was that she loved him the most until her death.
Leslie Cheung became "incompetent in love" because of the shadow of his childhood, and did not dare to open his heart in front of love. He said: "I know that the best way to not be rejected is to reject others first." In the future, Maggie Cheung recalled Leslie Cheung to Liang Jiahui and said, "He never said he liked me, I just need him to say a word. That's it. But he wouldn't say it. He was so confident that I would marry him. Who knew I was married to his brother. On the night of our wedding, he asked me to go with him. My sister agreed. Why? I won't let him get it until I lose it. If that's the case, I won't let him get it." The day when Maggie Cheung married Leslie Cheung's brother, Leslie Cheung rushed towards Maggie Cheung like a desperate beast, and Maggie Cheung resisted fiercely. In the end, Leslie Cheung left and exiled himself to the desert far away, while Maggie Cheung stayed behind, locking himself into a long wasted age.
Years later, Leslie Cheung woke up: "If the relationship can be divided into winners and losers, I don't know if she will win. But I know very well that from the beginning, I lost."
And Maggie Cheung sticks her fingertips in front of the Xuan window melancholy. Luo Hua, turned her back to Leung Ka Fai, and said, "I always thought I won, until one day I looked in the mirror and realized I lost. In my best time, the people I love the most are not by my side. If It would be nice to start over."
If "not letting the other party get it at the cost of loneliness" is a model of "making", then Tony Leung Ka Fai has reached the highest level of "making". Don't let yourself get it."
Liang Jiahui looked at Maggie Cheung's back in front of the window and thought to himself, "Although I like her very much, I don't want her to know. Because I know that what I can't get is always the best." Despite this, he wanted to know what he was being subjected to. What does it feel like to like it? As a result, Tony Leung hurt a lot of people. So Brigitte Lin's personality split madly, reminiscing about the promise of the joke, and was finally forced to become a generation of mythical Dugu to seek defeat; so Carina Lau stroking the incomprehensible horse lonely in the middle of the sparkling water; So Tony Leung became a sad swordsman, just for the sake of Before going blind, I went back to my hometown to see Carina Lau for the last time. In the end, the corpse was destroyed in the wilderness, and the dream was broken.
Jacky Cheung carried the big knife on his shoulders, smiled proudly and said to Leslie Cheung: "If you hear about a nine-fingered hero in the rivers and lakes in the future, it will be me." in the bleak wind. Leslie Cheung said to himself: "When I watched them go, I was jealous. I once had such an opportunity. I don't know why, but I gave up."
Whose "make" love wasted time?
It turns out that feelings don't matter whether there is a victory or defeat, even if there is a victory or defeat, so what if you lose? How many people, like Leslie Cheung, are afraid of harm, wrap themselves carefully in a cocoon for protection, and deceive themselves into thinking how shrewd they are. Liang Jiahui said it nicely, what he can't get is always the best. In fact, he is not afraid of being rejected by the person he likes the most, perhaps because the person he can't bear to hurt the most is her.
Jacky Cheung is simple, he can throw a finger for an egg, he can take his wife to the end of the world, he can do things that others want to do but dare not do, no matter the cost, no fear of harm. Perhaps in the end, he had the most injuries on his body, but the least on his heart. At least he never let go and missed anything. If you say you love it, you will love it, and if you take it away, you will leave. Could it be that the hero is the simplest person? To achieve this is the easiest, but the hardest.
Loved, made, missed, wasted. In this way, love is turned into sand between the fingers, unable to keep it, and the gap that leaks into time burns to ashes. How can you be willing?
