"The purpose of your coming to Hong Kong is not for me, and the purpose of my coming to Hong Kong is not for you."
But their purpose is the same. Li Xiaojun and Li Qiao came to Hong Kong to make money.
Li Lai earns money, in order to settle down in Hong Kong for himself and his girlfriend in the future, get married and live a "better life". Li Lai earns money. In order to build a big house for his mother, he will marry a Hong Konger to live a "better life". The ideal has a thousand forms, but the actual means are the same. Using the same means to achieve their own ideals, the focus is on the "same means" above, so the same street hawking, the same pots and pans, the same hard work, and the same bit of accumulation, both of them can persevere through weal and woe . Life tends to be the same, and the difficulties to be overcome and the way to pay tend to be the same.
The final ideals are quite different, but the process is the same, and two people have the possibility to live together.
It was obvious that they were only together for the sake of a smoother process, but in the long run they were not reconciled. Li Xiaojun, what are we doing? Li Qiao asked. In fact, how many people accompany them all the way in the struggle, but they are not husband and wife in the end, but why on this road in Hong Kong, two people will walk so impure and calm in the end. The world sincerely delivers the feelings of accompany each other but does not want to go on with each other. The farther away you are from the young, the harder it is to have. The more you want to pursue stability in the near future, the harder it will be to escape this present instability. The more opportunities there are to achieve ideals, the harder it is to choose.
They still didn't choose to be together. Commitment is more important than present companionship, to others, to yourself. Maybe they think so. Unwilling to betray his long-term commitment, they separated. Li Xiaojun has free years of cycling and a girlfriend who has been waiting for him. Li Qiao wants to continue to climb up and earn big money to realize his long-cherished wish for many years.
These two ideals seem to have a perfect ending if they go on. Although I have witnessed a period of mutual companionship and only witnessed this one, it is not necessarily preconceived that I hope that this companionship is the final ending. It may be a pity, but it's not necessarily a bad thing to be scattered.
Li Xiaojun went back to the past and got married, and Li Qiao climbed up to follow Brother Leopard. This ending is also good. Everything is perfect.
Li Xiaojun's imperfection seems to be more obvious, and he seems to have changed.
The pursuit of a better life is often accompanied by the acceptance of new people, things and ideas. The continuous improvement of the mind and the gradual broadening of the vision make growth always a one-way train, and in the end it becomes three words: can't go back. So Li Xiaojun said beside his new wife's pillow: It would be great if you were by my side at the time. In fact, what he wanted to say was, if that person was you without Li Qiao, it would be great.
Lai Xiaojun's mind has changed because of his experience in Hong Kong. He misses those days when he shared weal and woe, but his wife can't understand. He thought that if his wife could go with him, there would be no communication. He thought that if his wife could accompany and witness his own changes without the presence of others, there would be no regrets and nostalgia for his experience. But life is always like this, in order to pursue a new life, there will always be new people and things carved into my heart layer by layer. What is immutable? There will only be more and more women in my heart, feelings will only become more and more complicated, and the world will always be ever-changing.
Therefore, for men, the pursuit of a "better life" is itself a dangerous thing, and it is even more so at the cost of emotions. Li Xiaojun, who had chosen this risk himself, was naturally unable to bear the old feelings. Is there anything that can tell whether those new characterizations are more deserving? There will always be people who understand you better, otherwise how can you tell yourself that you are experiencing and maturing?
Besides Tianjin, there is Hong Kong. In addition to Hong Kong, there is also the United States. If the pursuit is "what is better", but not "what is enough", then feelings and commitments often do not end well. Hong Kong can give you everything, but just like Ah Fei said, "There is a kind of bird that flies and flies, and it may only die when it falls." He has met so many women, and each of them made him emotional, but he couldn't let him fall. Destined to wander forever and live in encounters.
Although Li Qiao did not wait at the dock, Li Xiaojun left his wife. This decision took even more courage. Without this decision, Li Xiaojun's true responsibility would not have been achieved. Without this departure, he would never be able to feel "what is enough" in his life, and maybe another woman will enter his life, which is another story.
This is Hong Kong's education for Li Xiaojun.
"Silly girl, go back and take a hot bath and get a good night's sleep. When you wake up tomorrow morning, there will be men all over the street. All of them are better than Brother Leopard."
After Brother Leopard said these words of comfort, Li Qiao did not leave, but plunged into Brother Leopard's arms and stayed.
Li Qiao is not Li Xiaojun. She has never carried any cousin's feelings. When she came to Hong Kong, she was looking for real money. She roams alone and knows how to exploit and detour. She is more sophisticated than Li Xiaojun and knows that only money can make people feel safe. She also knew earlier, what feelings are the most enough. Like all women, she would pay for a Mickey Mouse tattoo drawn for herself when she was unwilling to succumb to money. She and Brother Leopard seem to have a little more genuine love for each other. Although the two people seem to be so mismatched and they seem to have no common topic, the straightforward expression and dedication to each other is the most irresistible in the friendship between men and women. Brother Leopard can say to Li Qiao, stop thinking about your old love, I'm done, and ask you to have morning tea together. Li Qiao immediately said, I will wait for you to come back.
Although it is a turbulent life, and there is no name, what Brother Leopard gives is the most intense feeling of fireworks.
Will she say that to Li Xiaojun, don't marry Xiaoting, I still love you. She would only say to Li Xiaojun: I will tell Brother Leopard, wait for me to come back.
She can't get out of the cabin, that's for sure.
When Li Xiaojun gave her the chain, he didn't make a promise. It took so long until they had lingering memories in 527 again, and their relationship erupted, and then they told his wife who they wanted more. She wants Li Xiaojun to wait, you wait for me to come back, there will be no end to this wait.
That's how women are. At that time, the promise of waiting is not heard, and this feeling is not enough.
I wanted to pursue the company and feelings of the past, but when I heard Brother Leopard's vernacular, I couldn't help it. This is what she needs most at the moment. When she is unhappy, someone will coax her immediately. If she thinks her old lover is unhappy, someone will come back with her for morning tea, and she will be separated. Women who make their own choices instead of being dragged down by themselves, describe what is really good for themselves. No matter who he is, what does it matter if the gang leader kills countless people. What matters is that he hurts her.
The ending of this story was an accident. Brother Leopard died to become the later Li and Li. rather than the other way around. If Brother Leopard did not die, they would meet again on the streets of the United States because of Teresa Teng, but Li Qiao would say, I love you very much, but I already have Brother Leopard.
So the screenwriter is not ill-intentioned, not only wants you to touch their respective happiness, but also wants you to rejoice at the final reunion. Each paragraph is worth sighing and sighing, allowing you to choose a meeting you like, take what you need from this story, and then press a like.
"Sweet honey, you smile sweetly like flowers bloom in the spring breeze." There are
three or five relationships in three or two cities, and who has experienced a lot, who has no memories. When I was young, my memory was the bicycle passing through the spring breeze. I sat behind you and sang a little song together to buy Tianjin pancakes that both of them liked. In the difficult times, the memory is the hot dumplings on the cold rainy night, in the dilapidated and messy shack, the hottest thing in the world is your chest. After developing, the memory is that you are busy with your career every day and still miss me, help me open a store to realize my life ideal, and promise me to come back safely for morning tea. Which memory will you pay for and make a lifetime commitment?
Memories are always intoxicating, but everyone is drunk and swaying, and no one has taken a step and said something. Because it's good to be drunk, the more the better, why pay for it?
No one will pay for memories. When everyone is pursuing their ideals, there is a moment when they feel that enough is enough, it is time to take a break and pay the bill.
All the memories before that are in vain. Memories will only get more and more, the more the better, the better.
Indeed, love is a feeling—she begins with a sense of well-being in attracting, but is not good and ends up attracting. Otherwise, there would not be so many beautiful loves that make people sigh and sigh. So it's not that Li Xiaojun has changed so he doesn't love him anymore, but when he and Xiaoting were together, he only felt that he had to pursue her and his own future, but he didn't feel the security of love.
Love sometimes begins with companionship, and companionship creates feelings that last longer than attraction. But it still won't bring about a happy end to love. Xiaojun was confused when he came to Hong Kong. Li Qiao gave him a direction to struggle and knew exactly where his hope in life was. So he began to have feelings for Li Qiao. It was difficult for Li Qiao to come to Hong Kong. It was Brother Leopard who made it possible for her to develop. Seeing her career develop concretely, she began to have feelings for Brother Leopard. They are still pursuing their original ideals, wanting to make money, for their loved ones, for themselves, but there is no concept of money before, until they meet someone, how much is enough, and what it is like to achieve their goals taste. Before meeting Xiaojun, Li Qiao already knew what she wanted to pursue. Xiaojun didn't make Li Qiao more clear about her life, so she still didn't come back from the boat in the end.
The key to turning companionship into fate is actually knowing how much love is enough. If you can't bear love, most of them don't know what it means to be enough, and they can't take care of themselves. The future has been imagined by myself to be infinite and vast, the past and the present are intertwined into a river, all the memories are embraced in my arms, and there is no room for commitment.
It is more difficult to be content than to be satisfied, and it is more difficult to be content than to be tempted.
At the beginning of fate, it is always remembered and there will be echoes. Until a time when I learn to stop some feelings from lips and teeth, and flow through the years, can I have the determination and ability to bear. At this time, it is often painful, but it is the only way to go.
Hong Kong, the paradise of dreams, is the happiest thing to be able to come to Hong Kong when I was young. But getting true love in Hong Kong is even more difficult. There are too many possibilities here, and when there are too many goals, the heart will be scattered. Once the heart swells, the footsteps cannot stop. From Tianjin and Guangzhou to Hong Kong, you can also go to New York to the United States. The harder you work, the more likely these possibilities are. How easy is it to stop your own rhythm to a stable level and meet someone with the same rhythm?
Momentary sparks come and go quickly, and a relationship that has been with you for several years may not necessarily lead to happiness. The person who feels enough and can stop is the ultimate destination.
