The Name of Love is Tolerance
     They are my friends. They had been classmates in middle school for five years and in the same college for four years. They confirmed their love affair when they were sophomores in college, which was six years ago. Most of his friends are her friends and her circle are his circle. Those who are acquaintant with them know their firm love foundation which must have become marital mirrors and love models of their friends.
     However, one day before Spring Festival, she said to me that she couldn’t live with him any longer. Recently, she had more contact with a male classmate because of social intercourse. In addition to the quarrels between them for some trivialities at home, he mistook her. He didn’t believe in her despite of her explaination. He said: “You had been fell in secret love with him. You followed me since he had a girlfriend. Now you contact with each other frequently. There must have been something wrong. ”
     I don’t know whether their marriage will be ended. The fact is that red light appears in their marriage. What causes this situation is distrust. What’s more important is intolerance.
     There is an old couple. Their love makes people feel envy. There is something wrong with the wife’s leg. Her husband whose hair is white will support her with hands downstair from the second floor punctually at nine o’clock in the morning, and then pacing in the garden, which cost them two hours. This persistance has lasted for five years.
     I met them one day after Spring Festival. I found that the old woman’s leg was more agile and her color was redder than before. I went over to congratulate them on this. The old woman said that he had created the miracle for me.
     I told what I saw to a friend who also knew them in a dinner party. But my friend’s words made me surprised. He said: “Do you believe? Such loving couple suffered fiercely and were planning to divorce twenty years ago.”
     I asked why.
     He said the old man who was in a certain position slept with a chambermaid in a hotel when he went to work in a grass-root unit. At the beginning, the old woman got very angry and insisted in divorce. Subsequently, she knew that he had done it in ebriety. She forgave him for another sake of their children’s future. The old man treated her frankly hence on. Although he got more and more power and she became older and older, weaker and weaker, he hasn’t made any scandal news.
     Two couples with different ages,different backgrounds and different abjects, facing the same problem of marriage and family. Love is only and marriage is exclusive. Sometimes instant impulsion may bring short-term pleasure, but the bitter result makes one bear it with his life. More tolerance and self-surrender at times can get rid of the toxins and bitter fruits, and at last brewing a mellowness which is more fragrant and more sweet.
