The way ancient people express themselves is different from that of modern people. They usually use more implicit words, while we use very direct words. Compared with us, the predecessors could only be more reserved, more graceful, and more restrained. Some people use the past to describe the present, and use history to make sense. In terms of emotions, why can't we learn from the literati among our predecessors? They are experts in elegance, subtlety, and restraint. A few simple lines of poetry, a few sentences of varying lengths, and a few hasty words. It seems that it can describe all the feelings a person has.

The one I like the most is San Mao. She is not as restrained as the ancients, but directly expresses her longing. "Red Dust" is the most affectionate love letter I have ever read. From the beginning, San Mao and Jose's parents were noisy and noisy at home, and after Jose's unfortunate death in the line of duty, Sanmao endlessly recalled the past. Every line seems to be telling, "I miss you" and "I love you" that I haven't finished saying in those years. Her words seem to contain a lot of regret, regret for being reserved in those years.

I remember that there were many famous sentences in our ancient poems when I was in high school. My favorite is Liu Yong’s poem, which really fully expresses my feelings of longing. Liu Yong was not a famous person in the Song Dynasty, but his poems had a profound impact on later generations. He said, "The clothes are getting wider and you will never regret it, but you will feel haggard because of Yi." The plain line drawings of the two horizontal lines of the poem, the easy-to-understand imagery, and the vivid narrative, don't the words "I miss you" gracefully appear in our hearts?

If you really miss someone, you must express it. Even if you don’t know the final result, you must express it. I remember Zhang Ailing said, "If you like someone, you can be as low as the dust, and flowers will bloom from the dust." In love we are humble, we can be humbled to the dust. In fact, we don't need to say "I miss you" gracefully. In love, we don't care about our height or humbleness. Lift your head, look the person you like in the face, and say what you want to say. That may be true elegance.
