The moon is too fickle – it changes every ten days.\"\u003cbr\u003eBut, sister, human hearts are more fickle than the moon, so why bother being human? You have to endure constant scorching, to warm your blood; you have to stand upright, no longer searching for reliance everywhere… And, you have to give love, otherwise you won't receive anything in return.\u003cbr\u003eSuxin didn't understand human hearts; she pretended to know everything. Though I saw through her, I was still willing to experience being human with her.\u003cbr\u003eThis is how our story began.\u003cbr\u003e★A masterpiece by Lilian Lee, author of \"Farewell My Concubine,\" with a Douban rating of 8.4.\u003cbr\u003e★The original novel for the film \"Green Snake,\" starring Maggie Cheung, Joey Wong, and Vincent Zhao, directed by Tsui Hark.\u003cbr\u003e★Every man wishes he had two women in his life: White Snake and Green Snake.\u003cbr\u003eEvery woman also wishes she had two men in her life: Xu Xian and Fahai.\u003cbr\u003e★Love is either too hungry or too full. Either a complete loss or a complete win.\u003cbr\u003e★Adapted into a play directed by Tian Qinxin, starring Qin Hailu and Yuan Quan.\u003cbr\u003e★\"Green Snake\" tells the difficult journey of two snake demons becoming human from Green Snake's perspective, exploring the uncertainty of love from a female point of view. Green Snake retains a rare purity in us after being civilized. From the moment she understood desire, passion, and love, she bravely pursued what she believed to be love. My realization from working on \"Green Snake\" was like experiencing a grand love affair, feeling a five-hundred-year reincarnation. —Tian Qinxin (Director, National Theatre of China)\u003cbr\u003e★Lilian Lee's works are successful; they possess a beautiful and magnificent inner quality. Her stories often capture and elaborate on the most glorious and brilliant moments of life. I admire the candid and unreserved style in Lilian Lee's novels. —Leslie Cheung (Renowned Actor)\u003cbr\u003e★Lilian Lee is skilled at writing about love, but not the ordinary love of infatuated men and resentful women. Her ability to be both vulgar and refined, both decadent and thought-provoking, makes her one of Hong Kong's cultural marvels. Her laziness and worldliness, instead, create a unique charm. —David Der-wei Wang (Renowned Scholar, Professor at Columbia University)\u003cbr\u003e★Xiaoqing is too brave, too smart, with a clear mind for greed, anger, delusion, resentment, and hatred. In the world of passion and desire, she loses magnificently and wins with transparency. —Douban Reader\u003cbr\u003e★\"Green Snake\" is unconventional and imaginative, overturning traditional images, including Fahai. Neither demons nor humans understand love; they restrain, test, pursue, fret, delight, and suffer... Because they don't understand love, they remain ignorant, thus sinking and floating in a sea of suffering. Who understands love? Who are you and I? —Lilian Lee\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Author\u003cbr\u003eLilian Lee, renowned screenwriter and writer.\u003cbr\u003eHer works, characterized by \"infatuated men and resentful women, joy and sorrow,\" and the subtle relationship with destiny, as well as bizarre and fantastic themes, are wildly imaginative and have created a unique style.\u003cbr\u003eRepresentative works include \"Farewell My Concubine,\" \"Green Snake,\" \"Rouge,\" \"The Terracotta Warrior,\" \"Three Months of Fireworks,\" and \"Bridge of Life and Death.\"\u003cbr\u003eLilian Lee believes that the pursuits in life are nothing more than \"freedom\" and \"happiness,\" and she lives a low-key, carefree life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WULOLIFE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56905849831768,"sku":null,"price":8.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/8097\/8291\/files\/9380D070-5459-4895-B8E2-5A26EEC3165A.jpg?v=1773488832","url":"https:\/\/wulolife.com\/en\/products\/%e6%97%a0%e6%a0%87%e9%a2%98-3%e6%9c%8814%e6%97%a5_12-04","provider":"WULOLIFE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
