He Hongwen and Minglan : Thoughts on Character.
Minglan commented on He Hongwen and was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. She said that when interacting with people, it is ultimately the lowest point of character. And the lowest part of He Hongwen is the soft heart. This soft-heartedness made him struggle between family affection and reason, and it also gave their story a different turn.
The grandmothers of the two families, Mrs. He and Mrs. Sheng, are like sisters. Because of this deep friendship, He Hongwen and Minglan had a short companionship when they were young. In that particular time, two young hearts intertwined under the same sky.
He Hongwen's bloodline as a doctor gives him a unique affection for herbs and acupuncture. And Minglan , the girl who is as gorgeous as a spring flower, is his comfort and inspiration. She encouraged him to glorify the lintel in another way and save the common people.
Brother He thinned himself. Minglan said that it was like the first ray of sunshine in the morning light, illuminating the confusion in He Hongwen's heart. Her words are full of reverence for medical ethics and respect for family honor. She paints a new world for him, an ideal world for both of them.
But in life, there are always unsatisfactory points. The appearance of the cousin casts a haze over their story. Because of that soft heart, He Hongwen wandered between family and feelings. He couldn't refuse his mother's blind help, and he couldn't refuse his cousin's plea. At that moment, he seemed to have forgotten Minglan 's encouragement and forgotten his former ideals.
Many years later, when He Hongwen heard the news of Minglan, he stood in the courtyard and was silent for a long time. The memories of those youths are like a surging tide, surging into my heart. Did he ever regret it? Have you ever felt sorry for that soft heart? We don't know.
However, life is like this, full of countless possibilities and twists. He Hongwen's softness may be the pain of his life, but it is also a testimony of his youth with Minglan. During those youthful years, they illuminated each other's worlds, leaving indelible traces. In the context of ancient times, the fate of He Hongwen and Minglan intersects, as if to herald that they will weave a beautiful love story together. However, the appearance of the cousin, like a light smoke between them, complicates the relationship. He Hongwen, a compassionate person, loves Minglan deeply and cares about his cousin at the same time. He tries to find a solution that would give Minglan the best of both worlds and allow Minglan to accept her cousin's presence.
However, Minglan is not an ordinary woman. Her body is inhabited by a soul from the modern age, which gives her a clear understanding and plan for her relationship and future. She understands that no matter how good He Hongwen is, marrying into the He family with her cousin is like stepping into an abyss of chaos, and she doesn't want to let herself fall into such a predicament. Minglan always keeps a clear head, and she will not give for hopeless love. In the original work of "Do You Know", she never loved the little grandfather Qi Heng. For love and marriage, she does not have excessive expectations, let alone completely surrender herself to her other half.
When faced with He Hongwen's vacillation, although Minglan was heartbroken, she still decisively chose to let go. He Hongwen felt deep remorse, but after the relationship, he understood that everything was irreparable. At first, his feelings for Minglan may not have been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, but he must have liked it from the bottom of his heart. Because Minglan understands him and understands his passion and pursuit of medicine. If she can marry Minglan, she will definitely support the development of his medical career, and will not force him to follow his career. Such a miss made him lose a confidant he knew well, and also lost a happy future that he had imagined.
Over time, He Hongwen gradually grew and matured. In the face of frustration and unsatisfactory realities, he became stronger. When he is finally able to face the problems of his mother and cousin with a mature attitude, Minglan has become someone else's wife. This missed love has become an eternal regret in his heart. He Hongwen's loss of Minglan has become an eternal pain in his heart, like the indelible white moonlight, quietly illuminating every corner of his heart. That deep feeling made him taste the bitterness of loss alone in the depressed days. A few years later, He Hongwen complied with Mrs. He's wishes and married his current wife, a virtuous and virtuous woman. He dutifully plays the role of husband and father, providing protection for his family, but he can never forget the beauty of his time with Minglan . His love has always stayed in the past, and that obsession has never made him able to love his current wife wholeheartedly.
However, He Hongwen's wife didn't care, she had a person living in her heart, a man who had been her childhood sweetheart and promised each other for life. Their love story was so sad that the boy was sleeping on the battlefield and it took her a long time to get out of her grief. Despite this, she never regretted that she had been sincerely in love. When she guessed that her husband lived in someone else's heart, she chose to understand and accept it, because she could understand that unforgettable love. When it comes to life's pivotal steps, choices matter. Liu Qing once said: "A person's life is long, but the important point is often only a few steps. Especially when people are young, no one's life path is straight and there are no forks in the road. At some forks in the road, you take a wrong step, which may affect a period of a person's life, or it may affect a lifetime. For He Hongwen, he chose a fork in the road when he was young, and he was soft-hearted and hesitant at that time, which caused him to miss Minglan. But this mistake also made him aware of his own problems, which prompted him to face his feelings more firmly in the future. Minglan and He Hongwen's encounter and acquaintance are beautiful, but the fate is over.
After their life trajectories converge at a certain point, they each go in different directions. Missing each other may be the arrangement of fate, and it is also the only way for them to grow. In the long river of life, every encounter is not accidental, it is like a whetstone, carving our minds and making our hearts more tenacious and sharp. He Hongwen's encounter with her, although they failed to come together in the end, taught him what true love is. That unforgettable love made him understand the true meaning of love more deeply.
Perhaps, some people are destined to be just passers-by in our lives, and the traces they leave behind are short-lived, but they are enough to affect our lives. He Hongwen was in pain after losing her, but he did not indulge in grief. He chose to get back on his feet and face life's setbacks and tribulations.
As time passed, He Hongwen gradually understood that instead of dwelling on the past that cannot be changed, it is better to cherish the present and strive to move forward. He began to sort out his mood and get himself back on track and live a positive life. He knows that only in this way can she maintain that beautiful image in her heart forever.
He Hongwen learned to let go, and no longer let the shadow of the past bind his heart. He knows that life is like a journey, and although the scenery along the way is beautiful, there will always be a moment of parting. Instead of clinging to what you can't have, it is better to hide that beautiful feeling deep in your heart and let it become your motivation and belief to move forward.
Now, He Hongwen has walked out of that hazy time, and his life has become more colorful. He was grateful that the encounter had taught him what true love was. And that once beautiful relationship has also become his spiritual sustenance, accompanying him all the way forward.
