Say ‘Love’

2011级英语（3）班柳婷婷103012011131

For some traditional reasons ,we Chinese people tend to express our inner world through subtle ways. ‘Love’, such a small word, is always so hard to say. And it seems a convention that the more familiar you’re, the more embarrassed for you to express your feelings to each other straightforward, especially for our older generations.

In the past, it is common in China that a couple marry for years, but they hardly say ‘I love you’ to each other, let alone when a third person is present. For example, I have never heard my mother or my father say ‘I love you’ to each other, though they have married for more than 20 years. And there’s no huge, there’s no kiss, at least not in front of my sister and me. And because of it, I have suspected that they did not love each other. But gradually I recognize that it is love ties them together. Although they rarely say ‘I love you’ to each other and sometimes they quarrel, they care of each other and look after each other, sharing and cherishing drips in life.

However, in recent years,this situation has gradually changed. People now are more willing to express love to their lovers, parents, and friends. This change, I think, should be largely owing to the permeation of western culture. If you are a fan of American TV series, you must know clearly that American people rarely hide their feelings. They call their

friends and family ‘dear’,‘darling’, ‘my love’and they usually express their feelings straightforward by saying ‘I love you’ face to face. Usually they enjoy pubic displays of affection. Obviously, we Chinese young copy that well. At present, young couples have courage to say ‘I love you’. They celebrate weeding anniversary, date on Valentine’s Day, and they are keen to show off their love. It seems that they love each other so deep. But on the way around, the divorce rate keeps rising. It indicates that hanging the word ‘love’ over mouth doesn’t mean really love.

To love does not mean to say ‘I love you’ only every day, but to care for each other, tolerate and forgive each other. We shouldn’t hide our emotion to our dears, meanwhile we shouldn’t just hang the word ‘love ’over mouth, but do nothing.
