"Hawthorn Tree Love" is a full-length novel, which also has a movie version, telling the story of love in the 1970s. Speaking of morals, many plots in the book often make people think about love and material wealth. Love can be full of fantasy, but marriage must consider realities such as material wealth. If love is separated from material wealth, how should we face our own love? The impurities in love may come from the excessive pursuit of material wealth.
1. The clean love in "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree"
The book "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" was written by Amy, a Chinese-American. The story in the book is If there are real characters, the stories are the experiences of their friends. The love in this book gives people a "clean" feeling.
We can see how in a special era, a girl with a "bad family background" silently likes someone while being forbearing and repressed, and then gradually overcomes the obstacles and makes herself more and more mature. Excellent, until you can truly "embrace" the person you love in the end.
It’s just that the real feeling of “living” in our lives is often the heartbreaking feeling caused by the “tragedy”. Jingqiu must have been heartbroken, because when all her expectations came true, the "third child" who sincerely protected her died of leukemia.
Perhaps it is the tragedy of love in the book that makes the love between the passionate "Lao San" and the beloved woman "Jing Qiu" seem so " moving". The "third child" dedicated everything to "Jingqiu", not related to "material wealth", but only "love".
There is no such thing as "utilization" in the relationship between the two.
In this era when people's hearts and human nature are not so simple, the love in the 1970s was too "clean". "Clean" is so admirable.
2. When reading "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", it is not appropriate to focus on the tragic ending
In the story, in a special era, the girl Jingqiu has a bad "family background". No matter in life or in love, she always seemed a little "withdrawn", even if she finally met the third child who "waited for her all his life". The ending of the story ends with the "third child" who silently waited and worked hard and died of illness, while all Jingqiu's wishes came true but only lost the person she loved most.
You want to say this is a love tragedy? It is a tragedy in terms of joys and sorrows, but for modern people, the love in the book is very pure, precious, and clean. It is not appropriate to just focus on the tragic ending of the story, but to think about the meaning.
3. Thoughts brought to us by the moral meaning in "Love at the Hawthorn Tree"
A thousand audiences are a thousand Hamlets. Maybe I was born in an era of abundant material, and there are many girls around me who are more inclined to "material wealth" when choosing a partner. Therefore, when I read the book "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", I always felt that it The meaning is related to "material wealth" and "love".
The beauty of love comes from the fact that it can temporarily put aside reality many times and let people immerse themselves in it. But the "destination" of love is marriage. Marriage is "real" and realistic. When material wealth conflicts with marriage, how do we choose?
Let’s briefly talk about the male protagonist in the book who made many readers cry. From the very beginning, the "third child" in the book's passionate love has nothing to do with "material wealth". After all, Jingqiu's "family background" is not good, but as the son of a military commander, his family background is very good. But the love of "the third child" is pure and without impurities, which is extremely precious.
So, it is not so much the experience of two people who went through all kinds of hardships but were separated by disease that moved us to tears. It is better to say that it is the love that has nothing to do with "material wealth" that makes us cry. We can't let go for a long time.
If you think about it carefully, perhaps "Love at the Hawthorn Tree" is telling us that what can cause impurities in love is excessive attachment to "material wealth." What do you think?
