Virtual Pole Press: Once you think that in addition to the big green stick, life can still have such a young and rounded tort bottle often accompanied by it, and suddenly feel that the world is not so jianghu.
The delicate painting of The Lover by The Holy Hand Reza Abbasi is plump, spring is tight, and boundless desire blooms in a limited life. Whether it is the emperor who looks at all sentient beings or the sentient beings who look up to the emperor, even the foreigners with completely different values or aesthetic tastes are at one point convergent, that is, everyone loves the flesh that exudes youthful vitality. Color-eating nature also, I have not seen good virtue like lustful people. Drunken prostitutes, flowers before the moon, ladies who cannot stop, saints are forbidden. There are more than a thousand kinds of things that need to be suppressed in life, and it is always better to go to the night with the people you want, even if you love and kill each other in the end, it is always the taste of winning but loving and not being able to do it.
