How long will you wait for love

love period

You said how far is forever, the waiting is endless like this, but I have never seen a familiar figure coming from the fog, and the autumn wind blew the yellow leaves again.

​​

Grandma said that it was the spring of 1945, and the sycamore flowers bloomed into beautiful purple trumpets. She wore a broken-flowered earthcloth top and came to the dilapidated courtyard of her grandfather's house.

​​

Grandpa has nothing but youth. At that time, survival plagued every family in the village. The reality was so cruel that there was no warmth at all. Grandpa decided to go out. At first, every once in a while, grandpa would send someone a letter and bring some money back by the way. But later, there was no news of grandpa, and the leaves of the whole portrait were blown away by the wind. Grandma asked people who went out to inquire, but there was no news. Under the kerosene lamp, Grandma set up a spinning wheel and shook the cotton ear that could never be spun in her life.

​​

The long wait has become a daily content. Some people advised grandma to remarry while she is young, but her eyes are kept from thousands of miles away. Day by day, she still shakes the spinning wheel every day amid the sighs of the villagers, like a spinning wheel. The distant dream is like shaking the hopeless waiting. Twelve years later, my grandfather finally arrived. Grandpa said that in those turbulent times, who could control one's own destiny? Grandpa joined the Kuomintang and worked as a secretary. Now he can finally go home because he offended the leader.

​​

I remember a story. Once upon a time, in a certain village, a boy was going to the battlefield. The girl who made a covenant with him silently made a wish every day, and then buried a seed by the lake. The girl takes care of each seed carefully, because she is convinced that when the seed germinates, the wish will be fulfilled.

​​

But the war was over, and the boy did not come back. In this way, the girl kept her lifelong promise. During this period, her parents searched for her from one family to another, but the girl's heart was already locked.

​​

The movie "Hawthorn Tree" threw the audience this question: "Will you wait for love forever?" American poetess Di Jinsen said: "Waiting for 10,000 years is not long, if you finally have love as compensation." A lonely and long wait.

​​

Love is easy to get, but waiting is too hard. Who can wait for how long? How much love in the world can stand a long wait. Reading "The Return of the Condor Heroes" by the hero Jin Yong, we often sigh at the love of life and death between Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu. "Sixteen years later, we will meet again here; husband and wife are deeply in love, don't break the promise." Yang Guo, the world's number one lover, abides by the love promise left by the little dragon girl on the mountain wall of the Valley of Love, waiting for 16 years, infatuation will not change. It is a pity that the beautiful story of infatuated waiting for 16 years, although touching, only exists in literary works.

​​

True love needs to wait, but too long waiting is a kind of destruction to love. One year spent similar, each year is different. If you can't wait for this life, don't look to the next life. Once the bridge is crossed, it becomes a stranger again. Not all love will have results after waiting. In the end, it is still the sentence "If life is only as first seen".
