Ever since the dawning of the history of mankind, there have been myriads of diversifed inventions, discoveries, and even explorations of the mysteries of the universe.In fact, the human beings are so intelligent that we have solved almost all kinds of problems we have confronted with.However, nobody has ever made out what the word “love” really connotes, not even the most famous people such as great politicians, saints and philosophers can clarify the meaning of “love”, neither can they deal with the various affairs concerning love.Love is like a huge boundle net that shrouds us all in.We can neither break away from it nor escape from it.Like it or not, we are always entangled in it.It is an invisible net without any form, that shrouds in different people from different angels;It is a mercile net that upsets us or even tortures us to death.It is also a supreme net which almost no human can surpa.Even if they are heroes, emperors, wise men or saints, they can do nothing but show their helplene in its face.Those who can breathe through the holes of the net should be regarded beyond commonne and vulgarity.Love can bring us temporary comfort and happine, but mostly they bring about annoyance and sufferings.Maybe this is the reason why many people have seen through the illusions of the mortal world.However it is not so easy to break away from this boundle, ever-existing and indifferent net of love.Love is varied and changeable, but roughly it can be divided into three categories: family love, fraternal love and amatory love.Not like Monkey King who jumped out of the rocks, we were all born after mothers pregnancy of about nine months, hence we have countle relatives without any choice: parents, grand-parents, and grand-parents-in-law, uncles and aunties, brothers and sisters, etc.and once looking at the genealogical tree, well see no end.Family love is what everyone longs for, but the warmth and support from our beloved ones are what everyone yearns for the most.But how many of us are determined to contribute to our beloved one? And how many dont expect repayment and relaxed.conscience even if they have the desire and preparation to contribute to their beloved.The distance between relatives is different and so are their expectations.But since its very difficult to know how much we should expect, a lot of worries and distrees emerge.parents always expect their children to show their filial obedience, or at least pay them frequent visits after they have got married.If the children fail to do this, they feel hurt and upset, and theyll even complain about their children, because they just cant understand why their children dont care about them after what they have done for the children for so many years to bring them up.Neverthele, ones experience determines his ideology.Young children are naturally attached to their parents, but when they grow up, specially when they have made their own friends, and got married, what they need most is independence and freedom, and parents sometimes might become their burden.Once there is generation gap, it becomes more difficult to communicate and this keeps them away from their parents.Objectively speaking, they need more independence in order to achieve succe.In the present society, what the children want to have most is the economic support from their parents, not their moral support or guidance.They would complain if your economic support is not up to their expectations.The love from uncles and aunties would naturally dwindle after they have had their own children.Only the love from grand-parents and grand parents-in-law is pure and demands no repayment, and they are also too old to wait for any repayment.As for the distant relatives, their love depends on their needs, just as the old saying goes “The poor have no friends even if they live in downtown while the rich have distant relatives even if they live in deep mountains”.Granny Liu, a distant kinsfolk, in A Dream of the Red Mansions , claims kinship with the wealthy Jia family, thinking that she may benefit from it in some ways.Liu might have run away without any traces if the Jia family had been a poor one.Another saying goes “Close neighbors are better than distant relatives.” The most difficult is to manage the relatives when doing busine together, just as what the TV series program Liu Laogen discloses.It is all right to stay poor together, but as soon as the busine grows prosperous, the group will become estranged and even diolve because of the unfair distribution.Family love is like a maze which we shouldnt go too far into it, otherwise, well surely get lost.Love is a bilateral matter and unilateral love can only lead you to nowhere in spite of your good intentions.Family love is, sometimes, like an arranged marriage, leaving no choices to you.Due to the different experiences and tastes, staying together temporarily can be entertaining, while living together for a long time can only be boring due to the lack of common interest and understanding.How can we communicate with each other without understanding? parents have the duty to support the children who are not yet economically independent, and children have the responsibility to provide for the elderly parents who are lack of economic abilities to support themselves.Except these two kinds of duties which we must fulfill, other kinds of love become conventional formalities such as paying visit to the sick or the dead and giving presents to the newly-born etc..No love among relatives has become a normal phenomenon which neednt to be fued about.Whats worse is when love is contaminated by money.Sooner or later we will get hurt.The sooner we get out of this net of love, the more we can preserve beautiful memories.We are not living in vacuum, and the society is formed of various kinds of people.As long as we want to live, study, or work, we have to contact, communicate and cooperate with others.Those who enjoy common interests, mutual understanding, common undertakings and common benefits become friends.Some friends are called fair-weather friends, because they are together just for entertaining themselves by eating, drinking, and goiping.Once theres nothing to eat and drink, their friendship is finished.Some are spiritual friends who share common ambitions, pursuits and education.“They enjoy talking and laughing with the great talents and never make friends with the good-for-nothings”.The best examples would be Yu Boya and Zhong ziqi of the ancient times who are famous not only for their lofty music but mainly for their lofty characters and mutual understanding and appreciation.They cared very little about material wealth, so their friendship is known as “gentlemens friendship as pure as water”.The third type of friendship belong to those who show their utter devotion to each other.They are ready not only to share weal and woe but also to die for each other, like the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang in the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms..We all wish to have this kind of friendship, but its of great difficulty for the ordinary people to be as devoted as they were.Fraternal love or friendship is wide-ranged and flexible.Generally speaking, everyone is our friend, just as Chairman Mao says “Our friends are all over the world”.But transcend age, sex, nationality, state and economic conditions.To them the most important is common benefit, common interest and understanding.Friendship is formed during the course of studying, working and fighting.The battle companions who have survived many hazards usually enjoy long-lasting friendship.However, fraternal love is not stable.Being away for too a long time, losing all common benefits, friends will become estranged.Once their interest has changed, they no longer understand each other, and even this would harm friendship.At all times and in all countries, many close friends and battle companions who once worked together and fought together became enemies in the end.Quiet a few of the emperors in ancient China even killed those who had helped them found their dynasties.The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would not have failed if it hadnt been for the contending and maacring among the those who first rose in rebellion at the beginning of the uprising.What else we need to pay attention to is that some friends, after being away from each other for too long a time, have lost so much of their original characters that when meeting again, you will feel that you are still the same as you were, while they are no longer themselves.They may have the same feeling about you, so sometimes its better not to meet each other again.As the Chinese proverb goes “friendship can not last for three years and flowers can not stay in bloom for three months”.Its not so easy to maintain real friendship which needs mutual understanding, tolerance and sacrifice.Any kinds of harsh treatment will damage friendship.Amatory love has been a mystery for ages.Theres neither a criterion to judge nor a common rule to follow.Nobody can tell the exact reasons why love emerges.It is not always because of beauty(the ugly doorkeeper Quasimodo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame is loved by the beautiful Gypsy girl Esmeralda), nor kindne(Hitler also has his mistre), nor wisdom(even the blockhead may sometimes marry a beautiful girl), nor strength(some love starts from sympathy).True love is like getting an electric shock, shaking our soul.It is a sweet dream, a kind of intoxication, indulgence, and endle paion.True love doesnt need a long time to grow up, to make clear the family tree of the other, neither does it needs the time to look ahead and behind again and again.Love is not marriage, which usually starts from love, but doesnt always depend on love to maintain.Long-lasting marriage can eventually turn into a kind of family love, a kind of companionship which preserves the companion but loses the paion.Love is often an wink of the eye, or a smile that hints mutual understanding.In spite of the great distance between them, people may fall in love incidentally.Hence the saying “a distant marriage is tied up with a mysterious thread”.Love needs paion, and it can stand bumps and stumbles, ups and downs, complaints and blames.When it turns into a pool of water, especially dead water, without any billows or waves, its time for it to die.Delicacies are tasty, but eating everyday can still make one lose appetite.Happine is what everyone longs for, but too much happine can spoil people who may not care about the happine they already have.Its universal to live in happine without knowing it.The same is true with love.Very few people can love the same person paionately all their lives.All love stories come to an end no matter how beautiful they are, which also demonstrate the changeability of love.What one has been chasing wildly may turn into something one wants to get rid of desperately in the end.Besides, love is usually blind, especially those who fall in love at the first sight.At the very beginning, both try to demonstrate their beautiful side and cover up their Weakne.Fooled by the mysterious color of love, one often mistakes the weaknees as merits.However, as time paes by, frequent contacts make one bored, and even merits become defects, and then the end of love is coming.Whats more, there are the capricious men and women who never take love seriously, leaving the devoted ones suffering alone.The saying that the devoted is always abandoned by the heartle has almost become the truth of love affairs.What we cant neglect is that love may turn into hatred, and lovers may also become enemies.The best proof is the numerous divorces.Even though true love is hard to find nowadays, we still can see some true and infatuated boys and girls who readily give up their families, their parents, their studies, their careers and even their lives for love.They love so paionately, crazily and wildly that they hate anyone who is against their love, and may even harm or kill him if he insists on his objection.Love has magical power that can exploit peoples potential abilities, bring peoples positive factors into full play, and provide people with the courage to face trials and hardships, to go through life and death, and even to risk universal condemnation.Even in the ancient feudal society, some people were courageous enough to carry on clandestine love affairs.The examples in point were the courageous ones who dared to love the concubines of the emperors or the children of their foes.Love also has miraculous power which can startle the universe and move the gods by attracting the heavenly celestials coming down to earth(The Love Story of the Cowboy and the Weaving Girl), and by turning ghosts into human(Strange Tales of Liao-zhai).Love can transcend age and generation(Dr.Sun Yat-sen and Madam Song Qingling;Luxun and Xu Guangping).love can show contempt for all conventions and prejudices;love can heal wounds and cure diseases, and love can readjust peoples state of mind.Of course, the result would be the opposite once it hurts.Great men yearn for true love even more than ordinary people.Since the ancient times, so many heroes couldnt help falling into the trap of love that the sex-trap has been regarded as one of the 36 stratagems in military tactics.Fuchai, the king of the Wu State, couldnt be spared of this trap, and Generals Dongzhuo and Lubu fell deeply into it while Xiangyu, the King of the Western Chu State , bid farewell to his beloved concubine in tears.people may have to pay very high price, even their illustrious name for the love they long for even though it may last for only a very short time.Nonethele no one can tear himself away from love.people often say that their earthly affinity is not yet finished, but in fact it is the love affinity that is the most difficult to finish.Love is shapele and pricele.We can blame nobody when captured by it.Love can not be forced, nor can it be pretended.Sympathy is not love, neither is gratitude.Love must be generated from the heart, and expreed in actions.It can not be called love without paions and a deep longing from the bottom of the heart.Theres no impaable gulf between family love and fraternal love.Some family love may turn into friendship.At the same time, natural barriers doesnt exist either between fraternal love and amatory love.Some friendship may develop into amatory love.The same is true with amatory love which may change into family love after a long time of mutual grinding and polishing.The closer the relationship, and the higher the expectations are, the more difficult it is to get along with each other.Family love, fraternal love and amatory love are three main human feelings.If handled well, they can bring us extreme happine, while handled improperly, will bring us great sufferings.The present society is a world of dazzling money and dwindling human feeling contacts.Most people hold a snobbish attitude.They only make friends with people of wealth and of high social status.Just as Zhen Shiyen said in his expounding of the song “All Good Things Must End” in A Dream of the Red Mansions “While men with gold and silver by the chest, turn beggars scorned by all and dispoeed”.Frankly speaking, however, if we regard money the first thing in whichever one of the three kinds of loves, it will depreciate and even become worthle.Love can not pretend, nor can it tolerate too much selfish motives.It is reported that an old man in Jiangsu province left his million Yuan heritage to his young housekeeper instead of his own children, because his own children didnt take care of him while the young housekeeper accompanied him through his last lonely and helple years.Love is easily perceivable and perceptible.Flattery words may be cheatable, but true love and false feelings can easily be distinguished.If the people you love only know how to spend your money, you should be careful of them.Everyone can help you spend your money if you give them the chance.Never turn your love into the slave of money.Love should be selfle, and feelings should be sincere.We shouldnt judge our feelings according to the distance of the relationship.Everyone treasures love and nobody can fool himself or the others.A Chinese saying goes: real heroes yearn even more for true love, and great men cherish tender love for their children.We are the saint on earth, and should treasure our love, but we should know how much is good and where to stop.Since theres no ever-lasting banquet, nor is there an endle love story, we should take the gains and loes of love with perfect composure.Theres fragrant gra in every corner of the earth, and you can always find your love in this world.Translated by

人类几千年,有过许多的发明创造,有过许多的新奇发现,现在又在探索宇宙的奥秘,但始终搞不懂的就是一个“情”字。包括那些中外的名人、伟人、圣人,一切先哲们,都说不清“情为何物”,都处理不好与情相关的种种事务。情就好比一张无边无际的网、如影随形的网,走到哪里都被它罩着。挣又挣不脱,躲又躲不了,欢喜也罢,厌烦也罢,总得被纠缠。这是一张无形的网,没有固定轮廓,会从不同的角度,以不同的方式去网住不同的人。这又是一张无情的网,不仅会让你不开心,甚至可以把人蹂躏致死。这又是一张至高无上的网,天地间几乎无人能超越它。能在这张网上开出一个小天窗,那已经是超凡脱俗了。无论什么英雄、皇帝,无论什么智者、圣贤,在情网之中都表现得无奈和束手无策。情,也许会给人们短暂的欣慰和幸福,但带给人们更多的是烦心和苦恼。这也正是许多人想脱离、想看破红尘的主要根源。但这种无边无际、无时无地、无责无义的网,岂是轻易甩得开的。
情有千种万种,也可千变万化,但归纳起来无非有三,即亲情、友情、爱情。
我们都不是孙悟空,不能从石头里蹦出来。我们要经过母亲的十月怀胎,被动地生下来。于是我们无从选择地有了众多的亲戚:父母、祖父母、外祖父母、五叔、六舅、七大姑、八大姨,兄弟姐妹,包括表兄弟姐妹等,数不清。如果续上家谱,宗亲之间更无尽无休了。
亲情是人们渴望的,但更多的是渴望从亲情中得到温暖和支持。有多少是立志为亲情奉献的呢?即便有奉献的向往和境界,又有多少在奉献之后不求回报和心理平衡的呢?亲情之间彼此距离不都一样,期望值也相差很大。但这个度到底是多少,很难把握,一切的烦恼和苦痛也由此而生。
人们关系离得太近、期望值增加,就会增加相处的难度。所以无论亲情、友情、爱情,都是难度比较大的人情。相处得好,会有极大的欢欣。分寸把握不好,会带来很大痛苦。能够给你伤害的主要是这三种情感。
目前的社会,金钱耀眼,人情淡薄。人们相交,常常长出一双势力眼。看官位、看金钱。正如《红楼梦》中“好了歌”的注释所说“金满箱,银满箱,转眼乞丐人皆谤。”但我们可以坦言宣告,这三种人情中,无论哪一种把金钱放在首位,都会使情感贬值,甚至会分文不值。
情不能掺假,情不能包藏过多的自私动机。记得电视上报道过江苏的一位老者,死后将价值百万的家产给了小保姆,而不是他的女儿。因为他的女儿不管他,而曾经做过小保姆的女孩陪伴了他最孤独无援的几年。
情是一种感觉、感知的东西。花言巧语,虽可生成迷雾,但真情假意是不难分辨的。如果情感变成只是帮你花钱,就要警惕了,因为全世界的人都能帮你花钱,只要你给他们机会。千万不要把情感变成金钱的奴隶。
爱应该是无私的,情应该是真诚的。无论远、无论近,都不能自欺欺人。无情未必真豪杰,怜子如何不丈夫?我们是天地间的圣者,要懂得珍惜情感,收放有度,得失泰然。
天下没有不散的宴席,天下没有讲不完的故事。天涯何处无芳草,天下谁人不识君?
