Liuyi really said he would die for Qinglong but would live for Chusan...and that's just fucking heartbreaking 😭😭😭

I mean, what can Chusan say after that???

Rough translation:

"Every time I was about to give up, I think of you. I was afraid I would die and will never see you again. I've never been scared in my life! I even regretted meeting you in the first place...

But without you, I wouldn't know what happiness is. I wouldn't know what fear is! You taught me to eat when I'm hungry, to sleep when I'm tired, and to rest when I am sick. You light fireworks for me, watched the sunset with me, cooked meals at home for me. You taught me what happiness is and all I want is for you to be happy too. I don't want to see you sad at all. That's why I told myself to hold on. I had to come back alive to see you. I had to stay in this world to be with you."

A tear slid down Liuyi's face.

"It was only then that I realised that my feelings for Qinglong was gratitude and respect. I consider him as one of the most important family member, just like Xiaoman. I admit I had impulsive feelings for him before, but it was all temporary.

I didn't dare cross the line. I stopped myself from falling deeper. If I really loved him unconditionally, how could I possibly give him up and push him to Xiaoman?

But you, I never want to give you up, not to anyone!"

Girls today are often just as self-hating when it comes to their bodies as their pre-feminist counterparts were. While feminist movement produced many types of pro-female magazines, no feminist-oriented fashion magazine appeared to offer all females alternative visions of beauty. To critique sexist images without offering alternatives is an incomplete intervention. Critique in and of itself does not lead to change.
