Lu You and Tang Wan were originally cousins, and they grew up together as childhood sweethearts. After reaching adulthood, they naturally became husband and wife. This was originally a happy marriage made by a match made in heaven. Unfortunately, Lu You's mother was also Tang Wan's aunt, and she didn't like Tang Wan because of trivial matters in the family. Although they were very loving, under the interference of his strong mother, Lu You finally divorced Tang Wan on the grounds that Tang Wan had nothing to do. After they separated, they both started their own families, but they missed each other very much and could not forget them. Later, he wrote "The Hairpin-headed Phoenix" in memory of each other.
Su Shi and his late wife Wang Fu were also a young couple. Wang Fu came from a wealthy family and had read poetry and books since he was a child. He was smart and quiet. After marrying Su Shi, he often accompanied Su Shi to read at night, and often discussed ancient poetry and literature with Su Shi. Wang Fu is not only beautiful but also very considerate. They also took meticulous care of Su Shi's daily life, so Su Shi and Wang Fu had a very good relationship. It's a pity that Wang Fu and Su Shi were husband and wife for only ten years before they died of illness. Su Shi missed Wang Fu very much and wrote "Jiang Chengzi" to commemorate his late wife.
The two lovers, Lu You and Tang Wan, were separated because of Lu You's mother. Although they were not separated by Yin and Yang, they were still separated by birth. Although they both remarried, they could not forget each other. They suffered from lovesickness in this world but could not stay together. As for Su Shi and his late wife Wang Fu, although Wang Fu's life was taken away by illness, death did not allow them to be separated by yin and yang. However, Wang Fu and Su Shi also fell in love and stayed together for ten years.
If we say which one is more sad, life and death, it should be life and death. Although the farewell was painful, Su Shi married several wives and many confidantes after his wife's death. Although not everyone can replace Wang Fu's position in Su Shi's heart, the separation of yin and yang made Su Shi understand that Wang Fu had left him, and naturally he relieved the pain after Wang Fu left. But Lu You and Tang Wan, they love each other but can't be together. Even after remarrying, they still can't let go of each other and miss each other. This kind of pain is a pain that can never be erased from their hearts. Therefore, the separation of Lu You and Tang Wan will make people feel even more sad and regretful.
