恩斷義絕.
A classic line, I heard over and over again in recent times as I was watching a lot of Chinese period movies.
Every time good friends, lovers, kings and his confidants break ties.
They will all have their back facing each others back, and said this four magical words.
They all shed a tear, walk away and never look back.
I believe it’s really not easy.
How much pain a person have to endure, how much hurt they have to go through to have this kind of determination.
To say it out aloud and walk away.
