this is a time full of temptations, alluring girls and glamourous women pop up everywhere, making the discomposed men confused and disoriented, leaving behind more and more broken-up families and abandoned wives, thereby leading the middle-aged to the heartfelt realization that women cannot afford to grow old.
beauty parlors are being opened one after another and the cosmetics market is getting more and more prosperous in order to keep the youthful face of women forever fresh.. proper facial care, hair-dressing or aerobics are all necessary for women, but they are only superficial and can not last long. they can in no way do the cosmetic make-ups round-the-clock.. what will become of them after removing the cosmetics from their face?
women need to refine their mind and to make themselves more intellectually prepared ． they need the sense of security too. we may well say that men’s youth lies in their career while women’s youth relies on their state of mind and cultivation because of the rise of yin and the decline of yang, we can see many capable women devising and calculating with all their might. they used to be very beautiful, and are now still charming, but they are middle-aged after all. how long can they still preserve their diminishing youth?
what are those women after? money? but will they be happy if they have to count the money with their skinny shriveled hands after they have successfully become wealthy old ladies?
maybe they are seeking for spacious houses and limousines. but these are just tools to serve us, just like a motorcycle is for us to ride on, not for us to carry on our shoulders. is it still worth the price if their pursuit has become a burden or a pressure that calls for the sacrifice of their youth?
