Because of affection, it becomes a mistaken love

Thread Content

　　In this vast world, with past and present lives, and an unknown future, who can tell what is right and what is wrong? Some say that in one’s youth, one should dare to love. In those glorious days, one seeks out the clouds that one loves in the world around, picks up up what was lost in the past, thereby expressing the longing in one’s heart. Therefore, in good times, because of loving someone, it doesn’t matter even if it’s a mistaken love. Because loving the right person is love, while loving the wrong person is youth. 　　In fact, during the poetic season, what is hardest to let go of are romantic ties; what touches people’s hearts the most is the soul; what causes restlessness is that enduring affection; and what turns longing into tears is the girl from one’s dreams. Perhaps a brief conversation, perhaps a fleeting encounter. Meeting is the result of fate bringing people together; it’s truly remarkable to be able to remember those encounters as they come and go. Looking back, so much was missed, so much was lost. By the time days pass in a hurry, how much can be remembered? It is truly a great blessing to meet, get to know, and stay with someone you love. The road is long, full of twists and turns; the nights are long – who can understand? Heart full of sorrow; dreams are elusive. In the face of emotions, one is truly powerless. Only by developing in line with the trends can one live freely ； It must arise from the heart in order to bring peace to the heart. 　　Recently, I watched a TV series titled “Simply Love”, which tells the story of Qian Baobao, who was born into a circus, and her love-hate relationships with Xiang Hao and Shen Wentao. The story returns to the year 1916, during the Republic of China era, when foreign powers invaded and carved up the country, deepening the national crisis. She was an ordinary girl, one without any status or position. In order to save her seriously ill mother, she boarded a train and took the place of Xiao Han, a female doctor who had died in an accident, thus beginning her military career. Everything is a new beginning: a new environment, new students, new books, new emotions. After going through numerous tests, facing repeated criticism and being framed time and again, she still managed to persevere (because she met Xiang Hao – the man who stole her first kiss on the train). She is Qian Baobao, a legendary girl, a psychology instructor with a unique charm. 　　Sometimes, life is truly an unpredictable journey. No matter what unmanageable situation we find ourselves in, we must stay calm and composed. Perhaps someone different will come along. Every setback, every unpleasant situation, actually has an unexpected outcome. There’s no need for sorrow or struggle; those who are meant to come will not be stopped, and those whom one is destined to love cannot be taken away from one. 　　At first, Qian Bao was annoyed with Xiang Hao, thinking he was unnecessary and competitive. The two started arguing, and Xiang Hao said, “Even if all the women in Quanlong City died, I still wouldn’t marry you.” ”Qian Baobao retorted right away, \"Remember, even if all the men in the world died, no one would want to marry you.\" ”It’s about facing off time and again, acting unreasonably time after time, in order to leave a good impression on the other party. But when it comes to love in this world, who can really explain it? Sometimes, those who are not ideal partners end up staying together for life. Meanwhile, some couples who seem to be mutually in love encounter extremely rough paths in their relationship, and ultimately part ways without any explanation. Qian Baobao is a good instructor. It was she who made the trainees fall in love with learning*. It was she who taught day and night, helping Xiang Hao pass the **theoretical exam successfully. It was she who helped Director Xie rediscover her femininity, and it was she who caused those two men to compete and become jealous of each other. At times she treated Xiang Hao coldly, and at other times she showed great care for Shen Wentao, which made Shen Wenyu jealous, sparked discussions among the trainees, and filled the Li family father and son with resentment. 　　Perhaps love comes without any reason. Despite a wrong encounter and wrong identities, they still found each other and fell in love. Love is destined by heaven; it is beyond one’s control. Sometimes, when you like someone, it feels as though the whole world is falling apart; even if falling in love with them means facing hardships and opposition from everyone around. Actually, at first, Qian Baobao didn’t believe in love, didn’t believe in true love. She just wanted to cure her mother’s illness and then leave quietly. But through her interactions with Xiang Hao, she gradually came to understand what love is like – it’s wonderful; she feels happy when she sees him and upset when she can’t see him. 　　Through the screen, it is possible to see their love growing day by day. Sometimes walking on a sunny afternoon, sometimes talking on a night with a bright moon, sometimes stealing glances at each other in class ； Sometimes they flirt under the cherry blossoms. Those sweet moments, no one can forget; those fleeting years, no one can take away. Qian Baobao sometimes doesn’t understand herself either – who exactly she likes. One is Shen Wentao, who pursues her with enthusiasm, and the other is Xiang Hao, Xiao Han’s fiancé. Preventing her from making a choice, she wanders around the campus. Actually, she had thought about not overthinking things – this place didn’t belong to her; once her mother’s illness was cured, she would leave quietly and forget about it. But various reasons shattered her dreams: the principal put pressure on her, and people at the school talked abuzz about her. 　　Yet fate is something that can be encountered but not sought after. When fate arrives, not even storms over thousands of miles can stop it, but who can predict everything? Encountering Xiang Hao time and again, completing tasks together over and over, they gradually fell in love with each other. However, she felt guilty for taking someone else’s place; one day, she would be driven out of this circle. A life of constant worry, with no end in sight. In order to keep her true identity hidden, Qian Bao has to avoid the growing feelings between her and Xiang Hao, while also dispelling Shen Wentao’s suspicions and attempts to probe into things. Living in fear every day, unable to share one’s troubles with others. Amidst the emotional turmoil, what was bound to happen finally occurred: Xiao Han wasn’t dead after all. He was rescued by Instructor Ouyang and returned to Dragon City Military Academy. Her return forced Qian Baobao to face a struggle with his conscience. 　　A loving partner adds charm, yet deep affection does not guarantee a long life. In order to return everything that did not belong to her, Qian Baobao suppressed her love for Xiang Hao and decided to leave his world. She treated Xiang Hao coldly every day; when Xiang Hao proposed marriage, she rejected him. It seems that everything about Xiang Hao has nothing to do with her. Because Xiang Hao failed the assessment, she punished him severely: he had to carry a heavy load for two kilometers, from sunrise to sunset. He ended up covered in wounds and nearly fainted. In fact, she was also suffering; watching the person she loved endure pain broke her heart. Who can understand that silent pain? 　　One sentence: I just like you. I know I shouldn’t like you, but I still do. ” 　　It touches Qian Baobao’s heart. To prevent Qian Baobao from leaving the military academy, Xiang Hao was willing to marry Xiao Han just so that she could avoid danger safely. Qian Baobao understood that love requires giving from both sides. She felt that she should do something for the person she loved as well. She resolutely left the military academy and boarded the train to pick up Xiang Hao. The future was uncertain; she was going to be used by Xiang Hao to lure the Japanese, and how could Xiang Hao bear to let her go? He would rather not get married than see her trapped in that situation. As they held each other tighter, those tears fell like rain. 　　The wind follows the clouds; through the shade of willows, beauty emerges. All the truth became clear: in order to protect Xiang Hao from the bullets, Xiao Han was shot. In an instant, Xiao Han realized that the person he liked wasn’t Xiang Hao. And the person one likes is right by their side. Japanese criminal syndicates have their eyes set on Longcheng, putting the military academy in danger. Qian Baobao and a group of passionate young men from the military academy united for the sake of the nation’s interests; working together as one, they managed to thwart the enemy’s schemes time and time again and successfully averted crises. But the last time, Xiang Hao was shot, and Shen Wentao was on his deathbed. For his brother’s sake, Shen Wentao ultimately pulled open the door and perished along with Li Tianhao. In order to destroy the underground weapons factory, Qian Baobao managed to escape by chance, but she lost her memory. Everything from the past seemed so familiar; the person she used to know was right in front of her, yet she didn’t recognize them. 　　We promised to never part, no matter how far apart we are, through all times and ages, to always stay together. Qian Baobao admires Xiang Hao’s fearlessness, his loyalty to his brothers, his machismo, and his romanticism. I still remember that time when she was bitten by a snake; Xiang Hao worried about her and used his mouth to suck out the blood from the wound, only to get poisoned himself. This almost cost Xiang Hao his life; fortunately, Shen Wentao carried Xiang Hao back, thus saving his life. 　　I can’t forget that time when she dived into the Japanese underground **base** – it was him and Shen Wentao who rescued her. I can’t forget that, in order to destroy the arms factory, I lost my memory; on the train, I became a stranger to Xiang Hao. She knows him well, she understands him, and she can’t forget him. She knew that by meeting him, her world blossomed with spring. When I met her, it seemed as though she saw the sea from her dreams. 　　Whether to love or not is not decided by one person; whether you understand or not depends on whether you pay attention. Some kinds of love need not be spoken of; one can still grasp their essence ； In some relationships, there’s no need to express anything; one can understand the other person’s feelings. The flowers dance for you when they bloom, and they grieve for you when they wither. Because of love, there is concern; even if the whole world opposes it, the original intention remains unchanged ； Because of love, I fall into a misguided affection; even though there are thorns everywhere, I am still willing to bleed for you.
