Reading "This Life", I can't help smiling when I saw Hu Lancheng and nurse Xiao Zhou talking about love at the riverside. Hu Lancheng said to Xiao Zhou, "I look at you and want to love you." Xiao Zhou said, "Nonsense!" Hu Lancheng said again, "Shall we just love?" Xiao Zhou said, "Nonsense!" Hu Lancheng was also a talent, but talking about love was so direct and so emotionless. It was clearly a woodcutter's village aunt dialogue, and he was ashamed to write it.
However, I actually like his vulgar and simple flirtation. There are fireworks in the world and ordinary men and women in the world.
He and Zhang Ailing, a talented woman of a generation, were not very clever in their love and romance. In the chapter of "Women of the Republic of China", he described his first meeting with Zhang Ailing. Zhang Ailing, in his eyes, was simply a fairy coming down to earth. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also "a big fairy". It was too late for the two to meet. They talked for five hours, about literature, poetry, and life trivia. Later, Hu Lancheng sent Zhang Ailing to the alley mouth, and the two walked side by side, Hu Lancheng said, "How can you be so tall?" He said, just like this, the two were close at once.
As a talented woman like Zhang Ailing, she is accustomed to the world, reads widely, talks with her, sends romantic love poems, or recites classical poems to her. I'm afraid she is not rare. He still chose the most common words to say. The most common words, which surprised her for a moment, almost disgusted her. But it is Hu Lancheng's blunder, which has narrowed the distance between them.
Hu Lancheng's pursuit of women is not a matter of rhetoric, but he understands women's psychology, as he said: "I am more aware of women than love." In addition, Hu Lancheng always has such a bold attitude towards women. The first time he said that to Zhang Ailing, it was an implicit and careful test, but also a deliberate offense.
He and Japanese women are more bold. On the third day of knowing each other, he invited Yizhi and Grandma to watch a movie. Yizhi wore a short sleeve in summer, and he put his hand on someone else's arm. He said, "I know it's bad." So, this young lady Yizhi soon became Hu Lancheng's woman again and lived with him for three years.
Seeing this, I can't help thinking of the saying: "Men are not bad, women do not love." Perhaps women always like men's little offenses to themselves, and they also look forward to men's active attack. A man flirts with himself on his own initiative, no matter how sinister his intentions are, it is always because of the woman's charm that he has a bad mind.
Sometimes we find that the most outstanding women around us are often chased away by the men who are not so good. The toad eats the swan meat, and the beautiful women are cheated by the hooligans. Men's talent is sometimes not as effective as a little flirting tricks. Many men have talent, but are not good at flirting, and even lack the courage to show love to women. As a result, they watch their beloved swan meat eaten by toads.
There is a common saying that is "bold, careful, and thick-skinned", which can be used as a guide for men to pursue women. I remember reading an article by Yi Shu commenting on Hu Lancheng, saying that Hu Lancheng is a man of inferior quality, which I can't agree with. But I see the details of Hu Lancheng's love with women, and I think he is a man of "boldness, carefulness and thick skin". But his thick skin has a childish boldness and insolence, a libertine style of unrestrained and uninhibited, but it is also a kind of bright and frank mountain and river spirit.
