Features: Some men say: Women are beautiful at twenty, strong at thirty, wise at forty, and radiant at fifty; some women say: Men should admire women at twenty, support them at thirty, respect them at forty, and appreciate them at fifty. Men say it's hard to be a man, one must keep striving as long as they live, like a drawn bow and an arrow that cannot turn back; women say it's hard to be a woman, and women who achieve success often face criticism, while those who retreat to manage the household are seen as short-sighted. Thus, men and women often wish to swap places, but what would happen if they did? The female writer Eileen Chang once said, "Life is short, but suffering is long." Perhaps, to cope with life's long suffering, men and women come together. A couple uses the shoulders of two people to jointly withstand the storms and winds under the same roof.
