Love is not the only thing in life

"Shelly" is an unconventional love affair. A 19-year-old boy, Xie Li, who is in full bloom, and a 50-year-old prostitute with a half-old milf and her charm, have an accidental love affair between the two. But the age gap is too big, and it is destined that the two cannot go further. For Shirley, it was the age of longing for love, and he grew up with his mother who was a prostitute, so the love in his mind may be lingering, intimate physical contact, and nothing more. I think his subtle view of love is unreasonable.
For the empty, lonely and cold old prostitute, it is not easy to meet such true love in this life, so I put in the most real feelings.
The entire movie is not long, and most of the shots of the two are lingering in bed. After six years of lingering, Shirley, a boy who is already a 25-year-old man, can't devote all his love to his wife. When he came back from his honeymoon trip, he kept wandering in front of the old woman's house, not even going home.
And this old woman was also in great pain after leaving Shelly. When Shelly married another woman, the picture of her alone in the empty room was heart-wrenching, crying Shirley's name and burst into tears. Later, when someone pursued her, she could no longer accept men as easily as before.
[Crying] All love has only two endings, either staying together until old age, or painful separation. The difference is that some people can quickly get rid of the pain, while some people can not accept other love for life. That's what Shelley said, in the final story monologue, that he took a gun and shot himself.
I think love is not the only thing in life, but you have to go through a period of unforgettable love in order to have no regrets in life.

    I get annoyed when I see an old woman, and I hate it when I see a male protagonist
