Features: This newly compiled and published Bitter Love is based on Xu Zhimo's Notes to Mei, and Lu Xiaoman's Diary of Xiaoman, and also includes letters related to the romance between Xu and Lu from 1925 and 1926. It allows readers to revisit the difficulties young men and women faced in breaking through traditional customs in the early 1920s through these original and authentic records. This is the first point: The second point is that the two diaries used in this edition are the most complete versions among the numerous editions published since the publication of Xu and Lu's diaries. I will briefly introduce the basic information of these two versions. Mr. Kunlin has compiled and published a new textual edition of the marriage and romance between Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman, especially the diary entries of Lu Xiaoman, which are being published for the first time. This will undoubtedly provide readers with a deeper understanding of the romance between Xu and Lu. Those who envy their romance should also reflect on whether you possess such passionate emotions and noble character?
