Love in Cholera Period: Chapter 1: Reading Reflection

I saw the 20 12 version. There are no chapters in the book, but I divided it into six chapters according to the obvious segmentation in typesetting. Today, I share my thoughts on the first chapter.

The first time I read the first chapter blindly, halfway through it, I was confused by the long names of foreigners and the unclear relationship between people. So I went online to search the story outline and writing background, and it would be much smoother to hold it again.

Next, I will briefly sort out and summarize the contents of the first chapter.

Time: A Sunday on Pentecost. Although the first chapter is mixed with previous memories, all the important things described happened on this day. It's a bit like twelve o'clock in Chang 'an. )

His secret love affair with his lover has never been revealed to outsiders, but they love each other and understand each other.

Character 2, Dr. Rashid Olivier, a favorite pupil of Dr. Lao Wu. On the day of Amor's death, he held a luncheon to commemorate the 25th anniversary of his career. It was stormy that day, the conditions were full, the guests were in a mess, and the host was embarrassed. (By the way, in the article, A Min Ta Dechamps, Mrs. Olivier and A Min Ta De Olivier all refer to his wife. )

Born in a civilian family, she is the most beautiful woman in the Caribbean, with outstanding personality and love for flowers and animals.
