In "Queju" by Shen Jie, a poet of the Tang Dynasty.

Original text:

If you never leave me, I will depend on you for life and death. If you abandon me, I will drown myself in the lake.

If you are in danger, I will sacrifice my life to compensate. If you ride Hexi to the west, I will remain loyal.

Meaning:

If others do not leave and give up on themselves, they will inevitably follow them in life and death. If others abandon you, you will definitely commit suicide by throwing yourself into the lake. If others fall into a crisis, he must sacrifice his own life in exchange for it. If others leave this world, I will be loyal and firm and never change.

Appreciation

This is a love poem, which illustrates the loyalty to love and the decisive attitude. Today, when the divorce rate remains high, true love is particularly important and precious. The foundation of true love is equality, there is no prejudice against each other, there is no distance between rich and poor, and love has nothing to do with material things.

This is an ideal state of love. Everyone has a fairy-tale dream, never leaving, dependent on each other for life and death, until the end of time. In the comparison between ideals and reality, many people find that their lives are far from their ideals. Therefore, such a sentence, uttered by several pairs of loving lovers, is tantamount to having the effect of knocking on the mountain and shocking the tiger.

People’s ideals about love and life buried deep in their hearts have been reawakened, but the gap in reality makes people sigh and shed tears. If we can go back to the beginning, everyone hopes that this kind of love can last forever, and can never leave each other, life and death.
