Children brought up by widowed mothers cannot marry

Women love to be loved and want to be desired, but all of these things add up to a woman needing to be wanted.

Women who make a living with "love" have no shortage of love. Under their pomegranate skirts there is love from kings and love from handsome young men. Their beauty rivals, kings can give up their thrones for them, and mortals are more willing to offer them gold and silver treasures. These readily available things are just the embellishment of their lives, not the necessity of their lives. Prostitutes raise children, not to tie up any man with their children, but they need children, just as children need them.

Xie Li is a "rich second generation". She grew up with her mother in a sensual place where she was intoxicated with money. Xie Li, who grew up with money, now encounters troubles. His mother controlled him according to the requirements of adults, and Shelly, who liked to sing "Don't Want to Grow Up", was lucky to have a godmother, Leia, who had been hiding under her wing for another six years.

The godmother is different from the real mother, the godmother does not need him to take responsibility. The godmother had better he never grow up, always be the little cutie Chenghuan's knees. Leia knew that men were unreliable, they always had more important families and careers ahead of them. Unlike boys, especially Shirley, who is completely dependent on others, the godmother is her spiritual opium, the air he needs to breathe. . .

Everything is so wonderful, but unfortunately the boy will become a man one day. He wants to get married and have children, and he has to fulfill his responsibilities and obligations. Shelley, who had a particularly long weaning period, was in a dilemma between his wife and the "godmother", and when he got close to his wife, he felt betrayed by the "godmother". Leia, who chose to travel far because of his marriage, made Shirley carry the burden of treachery. In order to punish himself, Shirley had to move into a hotel and separate from his wife to express that he was not a master who married a wife and forgot her mother.

A damned telegram saved the two and accelerated their decision.

It is rumored that Shelly is divorced, and she mistakenly thinks that the child will rush back to Leia, who needs the arms of "mother". Seeing the mother come home, the child who is finally relieved thinks that the mother has finally forgiven him, that a good life is about to begin, and everything will be on track.

Both sides are misreading each other in their own way, and Leia is desperate when she learns that the lost and found child finally chooses his wife and children. And the mother's desperation finally killed the child, and the "lover" and "godmother" took off their masks, and she was not a vulgar woman who would keep making demands like everyone else. The mental sustenance collapsed, and Shelly had to kill himself with a gun.

Chéri quotes

  • [last lines]

    Narrator: He was unable to suppress a sense that he had been able to escape from something. That he was a free man again. A feeling he eventually came to realize was entirely misguided. It was many years before he understood that both of them had been quite unjustly punished. Léa for being born so many years before him, and Chéri for having failed to grasp that Léa was the only woman he would ever be able to love. And once he was settled in his mind that this was the case, he took out his old service revolver, and put a bullet in his brain.

  • Lea de Lonval: You came back here and you found an old woman. Yes, you found an old woman. Don't cry. Why are you crying? I'm so grateful to you. Were you really in love with me? Did you really think I was such a good person? If I had been a truly good person, I'd have made a man of you instead of thinking of nothing but your pleasure and my happiness. I wouldn't have kept you all to myself. Look at me. You're right. The qualities you lack, I expect it is my fault. But 30 years of easy living does make you very vulnerable. So no, I never did talk to you about the future. Forgive me. I loved you as if we were going to die the same day. I carried you in my heart for such a long time. I forgot you were going to have to carry your own burdens. A young wife. Perhaps even a child. And so you're going to suffer. You're going to miss me. And you're going to have to try to find enough wisdom and tolerance not to cause suffering to others. The thing is, now you've had a taste of youth. It's never satisfying, but you'll always want to go back for more. You must go. I love you. But it's too late. So get dressed. And go away now.
