Thank you JQ JIE -Jennyma- ♀ (733 bytes) (110 reads) 2006-03-21 I am so moved by this real story and your answers. I was very sad the day before yesterday after I read the last chapter of the story but now I feel better.
My husband went to London for a business trip yesterday and it's a long trip. He did not call me until 8:00pm. I was so worried that I imagined he might have an accident and I would lose him (Silly me) . It is lucky that my husband and I still love each other after 16 years we met. But like all the couples, we quarrel for some trivial things as well – that really hurts sometimes. Your experience let me realize that true love is more important than any material things. We should treasure all the love we have.Thank you very much JQ Jie. All the best.
回复:静秋答网友 (链接) -Megan- ♀ (1224 bytes) (166 reads) 2006-03-21 Jing Qiu: Thank you for the candid explanation. 1. What you experienced are typical for your generation and understandable. In 50s, 60s and part of 70s, love between two individuals was not encouraged,in some weird way "shameful". Teenagers at that time were very lack of education on love, relationship between man and woman. They did not expect to learn that from society, nor in most family. In late 70s and 80s, finally there were more books to read. Most people got their knowlege from literature. They explored and experienced with some pride and some guilty feeling of sin from our ancient culture. Learning to respect each other came later because it is more difficult to learn. To me, Lao San was a rarity because he understands love and respect at time most young people did not.
2. Your sense of preparing for the worst even in good days was also quite a common attitude. In those enviroment, individual was so powerless, any change in society can turn one's life upside down.
3. Lao San showed wisdom in understanding love, I think he would understand marriage needs cultivation and would be a good husband.
谢谢静秋的真诚回答 -wxc417- ♀ (546 bytes) (75 reads) 2006-03-21 she's just a person full of good stories. she's so real. i remember 周宁 likes to play Majong. is 周宁 the stereotype of JQ's husband? somehow i just don't like him, who 'switch' to opposite side of himself after marriage. it's like after marriage, he turns to a brandnew page of his life (during which he treated the woman he loved in a 'brandnew' way). i have no intention to judge JQ's marriage. but if i were her, i'd choose divorce after tons of conversation don't work out. a woman deserves the affection and care.
对静秋,喜欢她的真实和坦荡。对她一路到今天的经历,我只想用一个不恰当的词“眼低手高”来说,不管她怎么强调自己生活的“平凡”或者“坚强来自糊涂”,她走过了诸多的风风雨雨,踏踏实实地,笑迎生活,不知不觉中返身回视她真是一个不简单的,始终在进步,令人敬佩的女性。一个人的好,和价值不是通过她说的话来定义的,而是她的所作所为。(It's not what you say, but what you do defines you.)正像艾米在篇章最后的概括一样,静秋三十年的历程,让人由衷佩服。。。
This is real life! Thanks JQ -upset- ♀ (556 bytes) (57 reads) 2006-03-21 Although there is a best person for everybody in this wolrd (by statistics), after including lots of influences, I think only few of people can find their best. As a human being, love is only a part of life. We need to consider too many other things to survive first. Even if the one in our marriage is not the best, he(she) definitely is the better one. Things could be worse. Laosan became a dream because of his death. So appreciate what we have now. And give thanks to our other half for being with us through the real life. Take care JQ!
