It's a pity that i dun have chinese software installed, or i'll have blogged this entry in chinese...
I juz finished reading this book, called 'Ai Qing De Hai Yang' (loosely translated as 'The Ocean of Love')... It's been a long time since i was so touched after reading a book, and this book made me feel this wae... It's not a realli special book, except that unlike other stories, this was written in the first-person perspective. Perhaps that's y it felt more real and i felt 'closer' to the story... It's juz a story wif a veri simple storyline, and unlike others which can be pretty exaggerating, this one stands out coz of its 'real-ness'... It can happen to u, me, or anyone on the street...
The book was written by one of my fav chinese authors, but wat sets it apart from her other books, is the so-called 'theme' of the book - fate. Fate is such a strange thing, and it can be realli cruel at times... It can let 2 ppl who r deeply in love cuo4 guo4 one another and go off in opposite directions juz coz of of 1 thought, or 1 action. Yi1 nian4 zhi1 cha1, u knoe? And this will eventually lead to regrets, but there's no wae that things can go back to the same again... Zhi3 hui4 liu1 xia4 yong3 heng2 de4 yi2 han4...
- Digress- Argh i can't express myself properly using english terms... I wanna write in chinese!
I always prefer to read bittersweet stories instead of happy ones... In fact, i actualli love sad stories. I feel that they r juz closer to reality... Perhaps i'm pessimistic in this sense... Hmmm... Juz have a lot of gan3 chu4 now... Shall blog in chinese next time...
Do u believe in fate? I realli do...
