I'm going to start with a story about a smart woman and a man who can't possibly be their husband, with poignancy, laughter, and some faded philosophies into life.
The main character of the speech, let's call her Xiaoli, is a top software engineer from Silicon Valley who graduated from Stanford University with a degree in computer science. Xiaoli, like each of us, has the dream of ordinary people: to find the person who can become her life's home in the busyness of walking day after day.
However, in this great search project, Xiaoli encounters a problem in her life - she meets Xiao Li, who is peddling balloons.
You heard him right, he's a small park balloon vendor who observes the trajectory of balloons as they float across the sky, preferring sunsets and swaying clouds rather than coding and algorithms.
Unfortunately, the world's definition of "smart" is too narrow. We're used to defining smartness as technology, money, and social status, and we might just label people like Xiao Li as "stupid." But - is this really the man Xiaoli loves deeply?
It's an awkward and delicate question. Yes, Xiao Li can't bring Xiaoli into a luxurious restaurant, nor can he create material stability for her. However, he can make the most delicious marshmallows with an exclusive secret recipe; He can take Xiaoli to see the most shocking meteor shower. Their relationship was full of laughter and heart-touching.
However, although Xiaoli cherishes this special cell between her and Xiao Li, she knows that the trajectory of their lives has a clear deviation. The boundaries of love are revealed here. The clever Xiaoli decided rationally that she could not let this bend of fate become a burden for her future life.
Then, Xiaoli met David. David is a top AI scientist with the same professional background and a high degree of alignment in their plans for the future. If measured by social standards, they look like a perfect couple, but somewhere in Xiaoli's heart, they have never been able to get close to David.
In the face of Xiao Li's leisurely and David's achievements, Xiao Li began to think: Where is the boundary of love? How should we choose?
In the end, Xiaoli finally understood that the boundaries of love do not exist. Everyone has the right to choose their own life and love. Xiaoli chose David, but she never forgot Xiao Li, and that simple and beautiful time will always be engraved in her heart.
The humor is that the clever Xiaoli's initial goal is to find a matching partner, and what she gets is a bunch of new questions - maybe this is the prank that life has played on us! But it doesn't matter, in this search, we find ourselves and understand that love has no boundaries and that everyone deserves to be loved deeply.
