Love Letters by Zhu Shenghao

"Waking up, I feel so in love with you."
"I value our meetings more than our separations, which is one of the tricks in life. Otherwise, there will be more sorrow than joy in being apart most of the time, and I will have to bear endless pain throughout my life."
"The suffering in the world is nothing compared to the fact that my soul has never been apart from you for a single day."
"I love Song Ch'ing Ju because she is so good. There was no one better than her in ancient times, and there will be no one better in the future. I absolutely cannot find anyone like her now, and I am willing to be baffled by her."
"My heart should have been cold long ago, but dare not to forget the beauty of spring for your sake. I do not want to have a more comfortable living environment, because there is already the comfort of your friendship, which is far more valuable than everything else."

Some people say: if there are ten measures of sweet words in the world, then Zhu Shenghao alone contributes eight measures. His love letters are so affectionate and sentimental that Song Ch'ing Ju was deeply attracted.
Zhu Shenghao is introverted and taciturn, but his letters to Song Ch'ing Ju are full of life, overflowing with youthful vigor, wit, distress, and humor. In 1942, the two got married, but in 1944, Zhu Shenghao passed away. These love letters witnessed a legendary and tragic love story. It is precisely because of this great love and the companionship of kindred spirits that Zhu Shenghao became a master translator of Shakespeare.
