will you choose to live with the one you love in hardship and poverty?
or will you choose to live with someone, who loves you, in great wealth and fortune?
it is late night here, with cold weather...about 15 degrees. i just watched a Chinese romance movie. it was sad...
the main character, A went to work with an old man C, to revenge for his friend, B who used to work with C. C hired some mercenaries to get B killed. without knowing the reason for B to be killed, he vowed to take revenge on C. C had two wives, an old one and a younger one, like most of the wealthy old guys back then used to do. on the eve of Chinese New Year, A wanted to kill C, but came to know that C got B killed because B slept with his mistress, M. B and M were in love, as she had no feelings for C. A was in total shock and didn't know what to do. now, here's the serious part. M told A that he was a good guy, like B. both of them treated her well (although C threated her well, but there was no love...not even anywhere close). yes, she had slept with B, she admitted it. and if A would not mind her past, she will follow A wherever he would go, no matter how bad the situation would become. A kept silent. he did fell in love with M, but he still could not accept the fact that his friend, B, slept with his Master's wife and he fell in love with the same gal. and now, she was offering herself to him. only if he would forget about her past, she would love him for all her life and follow him to eternity. as the silence continued, suddenly, M said,
"you're keeping silent. then, it should mean that you are still very concerned of my past...". she took up a sword, and killed herself right in front of A... everything happened too fast. A never spoke a word, knelt down, and killed himself also. i guess he could never have sorted out his thoughts...
what would you do if you were him? you have always believed in your best friend, only to find that he slept with his Master's mistress. then, you found out again, that they were really in love. should you blame him or the Master? you are even more shocked to find the gal that your friend loved is the gal that you are falling in love right now, and she likes you too. she wants to run away with you in condition that you don't mind her past deeds. what would you do? do you think the gal is really in love with you? you used to think so before you knew she was your friend's lover... i really look up to the script writer of this movie...that he can think of such a scenario... i watched the movie from somewhere in the middle. hopefully, i can get the chance to watch the entire movie...
