Europeans believe that if you miss someone, it’s forever — so they pour endless passion into love. The Chinese, on the other hand, carry an inner tension in their bones, always feeling that each person has their own fate and everything is decided by heaven. Westerners live by the sea — every departure could be goodbye forever, so they shout their love out loud. The Chinese live tied to the land, waiting for the fields, waiting for sowing, waiting for rain, waiting for the harvest — a whole lifetime spent waiting, and so love, too, becomes a quiet, gentle faith.
