Não sei nem o que falar sobre esse aqui. queria ver o documentário sobre a qiu miaojin. fiquei muito triste?

?You start to fight the second you see each other. Does that mean it?s mutual love or bitter hatred?? ?Doesn?t Hsia Yü have a poem called ?Sweet Revenge?? I only mention it because I thought you might know it. It?s like the title says. Because love goes hand in hand with hatred, and because there?s hatred, you?re going to fight, and when you fight, you see that there?s love. The three become inseparable. Once your sexual frustration reaches a certain point, if you don?t either fulfill or rid yourself of your desires, you?re going to find yourself deep in the abyss of meaninglessness. And there?s no easy way out. In fact, you?ll cling even more desperately to the object of your fixation, and when you do, your desires will turn against themselves in full force. I was already self-destructive to begin with, but then I developed a fixation and never found an outlet, which is when it really got scary. One day something set it off, and I grabbed a pair of scissors and stabbed myself. It was when Meng Sheng and I were about to break up. I thought I?d learned to put down the scissors and give him some of my self-destructiveness by then, but there?s no cure for it: I still want him. The love I was saving is gone, and whatever passion was left, I gave it away trying to keep our connection alive.?

A escrita desse livro é a coisa mais linda, mas confesso que as vezes me perdia na história, e demorei pra entender que os capítulos dos crocodilos eram uma analogia ( brilhante por sinal)

O livro é muito bem escrito e a autora traz muito bem o sentimento dos 20 anos vivido pela protagonista. A metáfora dos crocodilos também é muito boa e os personagens no geral são cheios de histórias interessantes que compartilham o mesmo sentimento de culpa e aflição com a sexualidade. Muito gostoso de ser lido.
