The wonderful thing about human nature is that you choose the most suitable person, but it is always difficult not to imagine the unchosen if, the unknown is always dreamy and beautiful, not falling into the bubble of reality, away from gravity. They are in their respective realities, thinking of a common butterfly. The same is true of the red and white roses in Eileen Chang's novels. They also know in their hearts, and they also know in their hearts, that the result of chasing the butterfly is just turning the other party into their own reality, and that butterfly, you can't catch it at all.

    The story is that: in the end we all became the kind of people we hated at the beginning, but we still seem to love each other, but we never have the chance to be together again, but it’s okay that we all have a lot of money:)

    3.5; The warm tone of dim gold and dark jade follows the tone of the previous works. It seems that the old man is wholeheartedly reminiscing about the jazz age, and even the storyline can not help but feel Fitzgerald's taste, in fact, there is no "story". , but the social scenes that shuttled through their figures and conversations are more interesting; the plot conflicts are reduced, and the edge of the tongue and sword is reduced, and it is more and more light.

Café Society quotes

  • Rose Dorfman: First a murderer, and now a Christian!

  • Rose Dorfman: First a murderer, then he becomes a Christian. What did I do to deserve this? Which is worse?

    Marty Dorfman: He explained it to you. The Jews don't have an afterlife.

    Rose Dorfman: We are all afraid of dying, Marty! But we don't give up the religion we are born into.

    Marty Dorfman: I'm not afraid to die.

    Rose Dorfman: You're too stupid to appreciate the implications.

    Marty Dorfman: I didn't say I like the idea. And I will resist death with everything I have. But when the Angel of Death comes to cut me down, I'll go. I'll protest. I'll curse. You hear me? I will go under protest.

    Rose Dorfman: Protest to who? What the hell are you gonna do? Write a letter to the Times?

    Marty Dorfman: I will protest in silence.
