I have listened to a song; it is a Chinese song whose name is the most romantic thing. It’s a popular one in China, because it is created from a moving love story. Every time I listened to it, I felt there is a blissful atmosphere around me; I was moved by it. The story is about a couple of lovers; they met in the 1950s, and they were introduced by their parents. At first, they didn’t like each other. However, as time passed, the man fell in love with her, and did lots of silly things for her, especially signed a guarantee whose content was, “he will love her all his life, his sight will be all of her only, and send her to her office every single day, raise their children and love them, do the dirty and hard household duties by himself, etc”. This is not a joke; after they married, the man did this every day for about 50 years. When they were getting old and retired, he took her to the beach; they saw the sun set together and walked along the beach talking and laughing. Finally, she said that she got happiness for her whole life. He smiled and said, “the most romantic thing I can imagine is loving you.”
