"Chinese people's way of thinking has always been to avoid conflict, so when lovers are thwarted, where Western stories would end with them dying for the sake of love, in Chinese love stories the most poignant moments are in their parting," says Tseng Chao-hsu.
「中國人的思考模式向來不主張對立，因此在遭遇阻礙下，西方的愛情故事以『殉情』終結，中國的愛情故事最感人的一剎那卻在於『別離』」，曾昭旭指出。
