Nothing Compares to Love
Laijon Liu 20060210
Nothing compares to love, that true love
when a young couple fall for each other
two universe collide, ignite eternal flame
hearts, minds and arms hold communion
but Cupid is heartless, with his jealous bow
aimlessly shoots rampage, a mass victims
abject poverty is an ever-stretching wall
toiling bitterness trenches deeper and deeper
year-end saving for a feast is horrid despair
disability makes commoners serve time for life
Precious Jade must tie to Gold Locket, for blessing
Juliet and Romeo, young spoiled brats' crush
for Love we live, and Love we believe, Not True!
Reality is Milky Way, parts Love, parts you, parts me.
Note:
Too sad, tearing story. I don't blame the girl, I feel sorry for the boy too. I blame their environment, their bad economy caused by government and slave owning policies. their tragedies caused by men made disasters.

Poor Chinese Rural Family's New Year Feast for Son's Girlfriend 1st Visit [photo]
A
27-year-old woman from Shanghai, China, decided to dump her boyfriend
after she went to his family home, and discovered that they weren't
well-off enough.
The
unnamed woman took to her Weibo account to justify why she was leaving
her boyfriend of one year. While the good-looking, hard-working guy had
been treating her well, she felt he was just too poor for her.
According
to a string of Weibo posts she made, she claims to come from a well-off
family in Shanghai, while her boyfriend's parents are farmers in a
village in the Jiangxi province. Her parents had raised concerns
initially that her boyfriend was not a good match for her, but she
continued to date him.

She said the dishes they served were "too humble" for her liking and caused her to take the first train out of Jiangxi to return home to Shanghai, reported People's Daily Online.
"When I saw their food, I wanted to throw up. It was 100 times worse than what I had imagined. I can't accept it," the woman wrote.
The woman's lengthy post on the KDS online forum caused quite a stir amongst Chinese netizens. Some said they could relate to her plight, but most were outraged by her audacity and lack of good manners.
"Breaking
up is not a problem, but you should still respect others, I feel like
this woman looks down on farmers," one Weibo commenter said.
Others called her out on being too proud and that she was suffering from "princess syndrome."
In recent years, China's rising wealth gap has been a growing polarising issue, with people wondering if one can find love with someone of another social standing. In his sophomore novel China Rich Girlfriend, author Kevin Kwan (of Crazy Rich Asians fame) pointed out how far removed China's 'fu er dai' — second-generation rich kids — were from reality.
