The question is what kind of person are you

Industrialization has made people too arrogant, and the ghosts of material and money are attached to our bodies and dominate everything. Poverty is so terrifying, like a wild beast, driving us to run and grab wealth, desire is a bottomless pit, and we sink deeper and deeper. Life, isn't it just brocade clothes and splendid clothes, isn't it? Love should be a game!
If there is any benefit to war, I think it is that it can make people float down to the clouds and feel life truly. War always comes with the momentum of destroying everything, breaking through the vain appearance, leaving behind loneliness, fear and despair. Love is no longer a game, but a multiple choice question in life. What kind of person are you and what kind of life would you choose?

PS inexplicably think of Wan Bi in "I have a date with Spring"
