In this era of fast food, does love also need to be efficient?

After watching this drama at 84 Charing Cross Street, this book and this movie have one thing in common, that is, they are not "fast food" love, they are committed to bridging the distance of space and time, and beautiful things follow churn. In real society, many things need to be efficient, but love does not. When love no longer needs to look up and look at each other, some affection will quickly depreciate without being noticed. I like the process of being calm and patient, thinking about every sentence, and writing every word because I can't convey it immediately; I also cherish reading the other person's previous letter and thinking about the situation and mood of the other person when they read the letter a few days later.

  • Pirovitch: Kralik, you're not going?

    Alfred Kralik: No, I couldn't face her tonight. See, this morning I had a position, a future. No, no. I'm afraid I sort of exaggerated in my letters. I showed off a little. She's expecting to meet a pretty important man. Well, I'm in no mood to act important tonight.

  • Klara Novak (Miss Novak): It's my fault anyway that you got into this trouble. Please believe me, I'm sorry, too.
