Blog:.Butterfliers in love2009.11.03. // news
Last time I went to Changsha Window of the World, and visit the butterfly museum, knowing butterfly is the symbol of pure love. It’s no wonder the story of Liang Shan bo and Zhu Ying tai is translated into “butterflies in love”.
I believe we all heard their story. Actually, I knew their story when I was very little, but I didn’t have special sentiment at that time. Today I watched the cartoon edition again and was deeply moved.
At that time women had no right to choose their husbands. It is countless that how many women were forced to marry the men they didn’t love. The special point of Zhu ying tai is her courage. She finally chose to betray the dignitary to follow her lover. What I appreciate is their pure love. Though the result is a little exaggerated, I still believe if there is God, it may really happen.
Today the situation of women has changed greatly. For men or women, we can choose freely. However, it’s not easily to find true love nowadays, especially hard to hold on true love. There are so many material disturbances. I knew too many cases about aparting because of material reasons. Yesterday some of us discussed why A (one of my acquaintance) chooses his present girl friend, because his last girl friend is beautiful and graceful. The answer somebody told us is that his present girl friend’s background is not simple. I don’t know what the exact reason is. But I am sure the similar cases are not seldom.
So it’s not strange a lot of people are proud of marring rich husband or wife with influential background. True love is just their fall back. As I also live in big city and have to struggle hardly for my future, I can understand why they choose the path. To stick to true love, we may sacrifice a lot, like Liang Shan bo and Zhu Ying tai. But I still regret true love gradually become lighter in our heart.
Maybe somebody will say that if we have the chance to succeed more quickly with the help of marriage, the majority will choose to sacrifice our true love. A lot of us haven’t chosen the way because we didn’t have the chance. I don’t know if the saying is the common feeling. I do hope we can hold more true love. This is what I mostly want to say after I watched “Butterflies in love”.
