Features: When life reaches the age of having nothing lacking and everything possessed, how should love continue? How should one live a simple yet happy life with the person they face every day and the partner they once loved, perhaps still deeply love? In middle age, familiarity makes everything—career, family, friends, and lovers—seem ordinary and mundane. The little boat of emotions has entered a calm harbor, anchored, and thus becomes lazy. When passion fades, the days of sailing together through storms and supporting each other become distant and dim, no longer accompanied by tears, heartbeats, or the restlessness of youth. Today, is a comfortable life enough to sustain a long-married couple in holding hands and staying together until the end of time, loving until the world ends? Where is the secret of happiness? Is it true that without experiencing the tempest of emotions, one won’t see the beauty of the rainbow? When the wind in the heart rises, some separate, some meet, some grieve, and some rejoice. To search for passion and the lost dream of youthful love at great cost—is it worth it? Lionel Du Hua, a French popular novelist, in his book Stormy Paths of Love, uses a sensitive pen to delve into the hidden depths of characters’ hearts, describing the complex and delicate emotional journeys of three middle-aged couples who experience the tempestuous storms of love.
