In Zhang Ailing's life, there were only two men she really loved, and both of them were married. The first is Hu Lancheng, and the second is Yarra, an American writer.
Against the background of the turmoil in China at that time, Zhang Ailing married Hu Lancheng who was fourteen years older than herself at the age of twenty-four. Hu Lancheng was an important member of Wang Jingwei's government at that time. One is a talented woman and the other is a traitor at that time. Although her family background was wrong, Zhang Ailing, who lacked fatherly love since childhood, resolutely fell in love with Hu Lancheng. In this way, Zhang Ailing's first love story began.
However, after the defeat of the Japanese army, due to the particularity of his identity, Hu Lancheng had to live a life of hiding from Tibet and being separated from Zhang Ailing. In the process of separation, Hu Lancheng had a relationship with a nurse named Zhou Xunde in the hospital and got married behind Zhang Ailing's back.
Soon after, Hu Lancheng married a widow named Fan Xiumei. He has completely forgotten the existence of Zhang Ailing and her love and affection for him. This love story of Zhang Ailing ended tragically.
Zhang Ailing is a woman who dares to love and hate and never entangles. After Hu Lancheng fled, Zhang Ailing wrote a farewell letter, ending the relationship. It was not until the age of 36 that Zhang Ailing's second love story began.

He healed the pain in her heart, but he couldn't give her marriage. She knew, so later he got married and she left. It was not mentioned in the work, and the two tacitly concealed the relationship.
The third man is a foreigner, Yala. He was already an old man. However, Zhang Ailing herself said that if he was a few years younger, he might not have a crush on himself. Two people decided not to have children, but got married. Zhang Ailing lived with him, very contented and happy. But Yala is an old man after all, and their time together is not long.
She withered, that's all. Zhang Ailing's love, three men, and finally loneliness. ?
