回复 'gtaww' 的评论 : agree: 每个读者都是按照自己的人生阅历在体会这个故事, so different people at Peng's situation will have different answers. agree: 智慧的人无论做什么样的选择都会幸福, or try to be happy under the circumstance.
But good choices will provide people with the opportunity to live with their full potential.
Thank Pingzi for such a nice story that elicite so much heated debate.

Tan said similar things to Peng but with different attitude.
In his life, marriage is the only thing that Xiao can say no for now. He said he has to make compromise for his parents, his customers, etc. This might be the only thing that he can leave some space for himself. He feels no need for him to rush to marry his current room-mate (He once wanted to rush to marry Peng before, but eventually for other reasons, they no longer speak each other for a long time). But since he has been with his room-mate for so long, that is why people don't understand why he said he does not love her even he can take care of her while she is sick. Man-woman love really is not about fairness, and it is not business.
We should arrange Xiao to go to America, and then he can have a complete new start/life with Peng and Peng can visit her daughter often as she wishes.
If it is in North America, peng may just divorce and get married to her true love, Xiao, and Xiao is fine to say goodbye to her current room-mate, and they may just be fine even she already has her child.
People in China have too many different thoughts, burdens, and worries. If I was Peng, I might think just as Xiao has said. Feel guilty of her child not having a whole family, feel guilty of Xiao's current girlfriend, and feel guilty of not being able to give Xiao a pure, simple, and complete self (since with a child, she will need to connect to Tan for childcare now). So the more Xiao is willing to "pick" her up no matter what, the more Peng may feel she is not worth of such things anymore. Peng might just want to be "good girl" to "punish" herself for all the decisions she made, and does not to blame anybody anymore. It is this thing in our blood, and Chinese mothers' blood, to make sacrifices, to believe in "Ming", un-escapable destiny.
