The Fairy tale

The fairy tale:

This is a Chinese love song. In the MTV, it talked about a sad but beautiful love story. In the MTV, the boy and the girl are very good friend, than they fell in love. The boy wrote a song for the girl, and he will have a concert, and he wanted to perform the song to the girl. However, before the concert, the girl was diagnosed with end stage lung cancer. When the day that the boys concert was come, the girl was already in the hospital, and she couldn't attend the boys concert, and heard the song that the boy wrote for her. Then the boy decided to perform it over the phone and to show the love of his to the girl.

Here is the general meaning of the song:

Don't remember how long ago, you stopped to tell me your favorite fairy tales.

I was confused , and worried about if I did something wrong.

You told me in tears, fairy tales are not true. And I'm not your prince

However, maybe won't understand, when you told me you love me, my fairy tale became reality.

I'm willing to become the angle in your fairy tales, and use my love to guard you.

You should believe, believe we will like the prince and princesses in the fairy tale, be together forever.

This is one of my favorite Chinese love song. I like it because it is very romantic. The boy loves the girl no matter what, even he knows the girl is dying, but he still believe they will be together forever. I showed the MTV to one of my American friend. He didn't think this is romantic, he think is very sad. I think this is because the "structure of feeling" of us is different. We talked about in class, out feelings is structured by our view of the world. This was depended on our history and political stats. In China, we have so many love stories that was sad, so we see sadness and romantic together as normal. Just like Romeo and Juliet, is sad, but romantic. That's why I think this song is romantic, but my American friend doesn't agree with me.
