Thirty year old Liang Xinhe broke up with her lover of seven years because the other cheated on her. Thirty-six year old Ning Xi finally broke up with her partner who had broken up and gotten back together with her several times. When they first met, they were both in poor states of mind. They both thought that the other was going to be another person who had brushed past their shoulder, not knowing that their affinity had started. Liang Xinhe: “So I press down the snow in my heart time and time again, as they are too white, too close to spring.” Ning Xi: “These emotional affairs of the mortal world flash by like a sparrow suddenly swooping past.” – Yu Xiuhua, from the poem “I Love You”
