It is often said that there are so many forms of interpersonal relationships that they cannot be summed up in a single model. When lovers don't get married, some people believe that they can still retreat to the position of friends. In the story of Miss Wang and Po in "Flowers", I was full of hope that they could return to their innocent times in the past, and hoped that she could be honest with Po after the loss, solve the misunderstanding, and work together again to overcome the storm.
In the past, quarrels and laughter were normal, and they spent every bit of life with each other. Po would humorously call Miss Wang "touch the crying spirit" when she was depressed, and Miss Wang would also blame him for "thirteen o'clock" when he was naughty. They walked side by side along the Yellow River, talking about their ideals and looking forward to their future blueprints. However, Po's breach of the contract has become an insurmountable chasm.
Five years have passed, and the changes in identity and status have pushed them to two very different ends. Po has grown from a young boy to a boss in the business world, while Ms. Wang is working steadily in the workplace. The change of identity and the increase of social responsibility make the relationship between them no longer just an emotional and private matter between the two, but involves complex interpersonal networks, business interests and life choices.
Now, they are like two sides separated by the Milky Way, even if they are attached to each other, they cannot overcome the obstacles of reality. Ms. Wang knows that if she has the slightest relationship with Po, she will not only put herself in a predicament, but also jeopardize her existing career and life. Therefore, she chose to stay on the 27th, cutting off all ties with Po to avoid falling into the vortex of being framed again.
Their stories come to an end, and the good memories of the past turn into memories, and their respective life trajectories have been parallel ever since. They are no longer each other sharing pork rib rice cakes, but separate individuals, who may occasionally be able to regain their former shadows, but can never become one again. Pork ribs are still pork ribs, rice cakes are still rice cakes, you and I are still you and me, but the word "we" has quietly disappeared in the flow of years.
The hot topic in the market revolves around whether Po really loves Miss Wang, and I confirm that his love is clear and deep. Going back to the initial stage of their shared experience, Po and Miss Wang supported each other through countless difficult moments together, and his protection and guidance were everywhere, just like cultivating a young seedling until it grows strong.
When Bao successfully transformed into "Mr. Bao", his layout in the mall also reflected his concern and help for Miss Wang, and he founded the Sanyang brand, aiming to pave a broad road for her in No. 27 Company. He remembered the ideal future that Miss Wang had painted with starry eyes, and understood that she was like a phoenix soaring for nine days, unwilling to be imprisoned in one world. So, he chose to sacrifice his company and give her the right to fly freely.
Love sometimes means knowing how to give up, and Po's choice is to fulfill Miss Wang's dream, even if it means that he has to give in to himself on the road of emotion. In the face of such a Bao, it is difficult for others not to be moved by his affection, even if they understand that this relationship may be difficult to achieve positive results, and it is foreseen that the story may only end abruptly halfway.
Despite this, Miss Wang still resolutely plunged into this torrent of fate, unreservedly dedicated, and experienced the ups and downs of life with Bao. No matter how rich Po's past love history is, or where their future points to, even if they end up in strangeness, the heartbeat of the first acquaintance instantly told her that she didn't want to miss this special person in this life.
Even if you can't return to the dullness of friendship in the future, so what's the matter? Love that is as bright as fireworks, people often only remember the moment when it blooms, not the dust after it disappears. Some stories reach the peak of emotion at the very beginning; Some people, on the day of their first encounter, seem to hold the supreme blessing of fate.
A friend shared a piece of her past about a lover who once made her give everything she had and persevered. At that time, the obsession in her heart was to keep him no matter what, even if the world was upside down, she had to hold on to this emotion. However, when the real crossroads came, faced with the choice between career development and love, she finally chose the former path.
My friend sighed that he thought he had fallen into an emotional abyss from which he could not extricate himself, but it was not until that moment that he realized that deep down, his future planning and personal development seemed to occupy a more important position. Even though she had gone back in time countless times, she was confident that she would still make the same decision. This does not mean that her love for him has diminished, in fact, she still loves him deeply, but she is not willing to gamble on a love with an unknown fate with a bright future. Perhaps driven by everyone's inherent selfish genes, she finally took more care of herself.
I understand and respect her choice, as Ms. Wang's story illustrates, when faced with major decisions in life, we often have to weigh the pros and cons and choose the direction that seems to be most beneficial to us at the moment. It is true that love is indispensable, but it is not the whole of life, and life will go on without someone's love. The partner who used to be together and now goes his own way, if fate is not over, there will be a day of reunion; If fate has passed, accept it calmly and do not need to blame each other.
Just like the exclusive pork rib rice cake, if you eat it alone, you can enjoy the taste more fully, and you can also gain different scenery and insights in your life alone.
