Wow! Great job translating! This is a very inspiring story with a great moral. I think some of the main mistakes were differentiating from the Past and Present. Remember, if an action has already happened, even 5 seconds ago, it will be considered the Past. Like "But you chose Mr.Love". Good work here and I hope to hear more stories!

good essay, thanks for sharing it, I agree with the point, without love, wealth and success are meaningless and useful, on ther other hand, avoiding low quality love is essential, if love makes a person weak and lazy, then it is wrong, love is based on understanding and trivial reality. on the other hand, if love comes with wealth and succuss, it is like a fairy tale that occurs rarely or never. but as a famous saying goes, 贫贱夫妻百日哀。(mean: poor couples are depressed . ), love cant last without any material basis and ambitions, since 民以食为天(food is the paramount of nessassity of peple. ), then饱暖思淫欲(proper meaning: "When one is fed and warmed , one's sexual desires will come up ." but there, mostly, not just sexual desire but all of desires apart from food and warmth. I think I didnt explain my viewpoint clearly, because compare with that , I prefer to give you some Chinese phrases, may they help for ur study.
