Of course, we can also say that there is nothing between them, just yearning for ideal love. But for Jin Bo, it is real and unforgettable. The seemingly ordinary white enamel jar he uses to make tea every day is his "proof of youth and love".
There are not many positive descriptions of Jin Bo's love in the book, only less than ten pages. But it is these short pages that read like a stirring story that people can't let go for a long time. This love can be said to be an amazing story and incredible, because they know nothing about each other except that the Tibetan girl can sing. But it was this song that brought them closer. He doesn't know the name of this Tibetan girl, and even looks at her from a distance every time he sees her. They really only met once. Anyone who saw the scene was moved by it: they can't speak that language, so they can only gesture with their hands, but they know what each other is saying. When the two of them hugged each other tightly, the book said, "At that time, nothing in the world existed."
This short tenderness brought great disaster to Jin: he was expelled from the army and followed his father to carry a parcel at the county post office. In his own words, his situation is not better than that of Sun Shaoping, but his father has a job in the city, so he won't sleep on the street without work like Shao Ping.
Jin Bo, who experienced that love, is no longer the "smart and naughty" child, but has become "mature and deep". When Shao Ping and Jin Bo, two friends who are far away from home, got together to talk about their feelings about life, they stopped talking and fell into "a long-term thinking".
Jin Bo, like Sun Shaoping, is a person who is willing to fight for his ideal. They dare to think, do, love and hate, and they are vigorous in starting any career. They are willing to pursue the happiness they want, but at the same time they dare to take responsibility, which is in sharp contrast with Sun Shaoan. Therefore, when Jin Bo faces a love in front of him, he will never give up, even if he will face the most serious consequences. He tried, but unfortunately he also failed. It was the pain hidden in his heart that made him grow up at once.
This growing pain in his heart makes him feel uncomfortable almost every day. When he ran into Li Xiangqian on the road with a mail truck, the misery loves company of two people finally broke out in an instant. So, in the windy night, in the deserted desert, the two of them cried and sang for their beloved woman, suffering "crazily and desperately".
Jin Bo's love comes and goes in a hurry. Before he could taste it, it disappeared and disappeared in his life forever. Jin Bo's love is like a dream, a dream about youth and love. The dream wakes up, but the dreamer doesn't want to wake up and always wants to keep the dream. Jin Bo, a generous person, became a mess after his dream was shattered.
Just when he finally decided to go to Qinghai to pursue the love of that year, he found that times have changed and things have changed. The former horse farm is long gone, and he can't find the Tibetan girl who can sing "In that faraway place" anymore. Maybe she has forgotten this puppy love, got married and had children, maybe she, like Jin Bo, has been missing and sticking to that relationship ... all this is unknown to us. But now jinbo is completely desperate. He knew that love would never be found again. The only thing he can do is to come back from the distant place that once made him crazy and sad.
Jin Bo's Imperfect Love is more like an evaluation of Shao Ping's love, as well as the love of all the characters in the book: there will always be some disappointments in love, but sometimes there will be more and sometimes less.
