The standard of beauty was not unified. After the Song Dynasty, the standard of beauty was "the lotus leaves from the clear water, and the decoration is natural." What is emphasized is a natural, fresh and suitable shade. Even if it is slightly modified, it is just a jasper hairpin diagonally inserted in the black hair. During this time, Bo a good name of "not a flower of wealth in the world". Indian beauties are completely different. They must wear gold and silver with flowers and brocade, earrings, nose studs, bracelets, ankle bells, foreheads, necklaces, arm rings, and silk turbans. To wrap around the exquisite figure, the cinnabar danko and spices should be the most expensive and most sacred, point them between the eyebrows and hair and between the fingers to praise wealth and beauty. When you move around, you will wear jingle bells, and when you dance, the flowers will be blooming. The waves of your eyes will inevitably make the flowers and the moon fade away.

There are no brave warriors in this country. The hot and humid climate is easy to dissipate fighting spirit and bury the iron and blood. This fertile land is filled with passionate poets and infatuated beauties, poetry and myths. "Bollywood Life and Death" is a classic love tragedy, perished by the family's opinion and the lives of parents. Duff and Paro are childhood lovers who lived next to each other as childhood sweethearts. They were separated for ten years because of Duff's study in the UK. After ten years, the two fell in love with each other and their love was still fierce. Paro's mother who was born as a dancer was happy to see it, but because it was reasonable and reasonable. His expectations were humiliated by the Duff family. Despite the shame of the young girl, Paro ran to Dev's family at night and hoped to elope, but was heartbroken by the indecisive Dev, and married a well-known family with a wealth of wealth. After that, the awakened Defu regretted having nowhere to stay in the brothel every day to get drunk, and Paro, who was married to the rich, was depressed and lonely and withered. Dev was about to say goodbye to Paro and fell in front of Paro's house, but Paro, who was restricted from foot, was blocked by the high wall of the door, and the two were never seen.

Vulgar? Vulgar! is it nice? nice! Most of Gein's love tragedies are similarly tacky and poignant. In tragic stories, women have to bear most of the unrealistic expectations of society, but they are often more arduous and decisive than men. Paro is a good girl, beautiful, steadfast, brave and passionate. Her love is the endless stream of hot spring water. There is vigorous vitality among the cliffs of the rock. Her love is mixed with childhood admiration and youthful lingering. But at the same time, she is also arrogant and intelligent. She is a playful and tender girl in front of her lover, but she walks among the world as a dignified and decent lady. Especially when she is slandered by her love and marries away, she is a goddess who is far away and unattainable. .

And her noble lover, Dove, is really a small child. It seems that as long as she doesn’t act like an adult, she can still be treated as a child. She can be grumpy and do whatever she wants. If she falls in love, she can deny playing as a child. , I regret that I can come back and still hope to get a warm heart. Only when his plea was that his lover coldly asked him about the reputation and dignity of the family, he realized that the carefree childhood is gone, and the reality of the splendid youth being buried in the marriage of men and women, with the lover's sedan chair. In addition to the ever-bright lights that lighted him, those who went away also had the happiness and fulfillment of a lifetime. Paro chose a noble and cold destination for herself with seven points of arrogance and three points of reason. Even if trapped in the high walls, she could still live well. She was affirmed and accepted by her mother-in-law, husband, stepson and stepdaughter. At this time, she was tolerant and kind. Wisdom and smart work, this is her confidence as a mature woman.

Also appearing in this story is the famous prostitute Shandrum who loves Mordoff. Although she and Paro are different in social status, they have the beauty and infatuation that are not inferior to the latter. It was only social barriers that blocked her future. She was destined to not be a wife or a mother in her life. She was born to be disgusted and played with. She could only appear in the golden night and could not survive in the sun. She sells love, but only loves once in her life, even if she has no return, she still gives everything.

In contrast, Dove could not hold the white lotus blooming in his pond before, and could not accept the epiphyllum blooming in the dust. It is really the humble life of love. It is dim between two beautiful women in the world. Light. He is like a passionate poet without the power to bind a chicken. He is about to die, living madly, singing love and happiness, cursing life and himself, killing the passion of life in the fragrance of wine, and decorating his coffin with his sorrow and indignation with romance. To death in exchange for the sigh of death. A man who regards love as his life, but lacks the courage and maturity to fight, is a sad and pitiful thing.

If the roles of men and women in the world are changed, there may be fewer so-called last resorts and more pleasures.
