that poignant story
"It is said that people who come to Venice must sit in Gundula; couples who sit in Gundula must pass through the "Sigh Bridge" and kiss under the bridge. The "Sigh Bridge" is not like the hundreds of bridges in Venice, for pedestrians to cross. It is a bridge that also crosses the water surface, but is hung high between two buildings. On one side is the Governor's Mansion. The white marble is carved with patterns and supports arched flower windows. It is said that in the Republican era in the 14th century, it can accommodate 1,600 royal grandsons and nobles at the same time.
On the other side of the "Sigh Bridge" is also a stone building, but the appearance is pitch black, and the literary window is surrounded by thick iron bars. It is said that this was the prison of the year. The serious criminal who was sentenced in the chamber was sent to the basement of this death row and could no longer see the world outside. There was only one chance - when the prisoner was convicted and entrusted across the "Sigh Bridge" from the Governor's Mansion, he could be allowed to stop on the bridge, and from the carved flower windows, he looked at the "Human World" outside. The "Human World" has the pier of Piazza St. Mark's Square, and a small river flows from below, and three bridges can be seen on the river. Walking on the bridge are pedestrians, and Gundula boats are shuttled under the bridge. Couples are sitting on the boat, singing love songs.
It is said that a man was sentenced to pass through the bridge. "Look at the last glance!" said the jailer, letting the man stop in front of the window. The window lattice was carved very delicately, and it was composed of many eight-petal chrysanthemums. The man climbed the window lattice and looked down and saw a narrow and long Gundulla. He was sailing under the bridge. A man sat on the boat, kissing. The woman was actually his lover. The man rushed to the flower window frantically. The window was made of thick marble and it was not damaged. Only a pool of blood and an angry corpse. The blood did not drip down the bridge, and the roar was never heard. Even if it was heard, the woman who was kissing could not hear it. The blood had been washed away, and the tragic story was forgotten by most people. It was said that this was the "bridge of sighs", the last glance of the prisoners. Then change the tragedy into a comedy and a myth. If a couple could kiss under the bridge, love would be eternal."
On the plane, Xin'er closed her eyes slightly and told the story to the boy beside her, the story she had touched the most...
"You don't like this tragedy?"
"Yes, there will always be so many tragedies in love, because not everyone can finally get married with a lover."
"Do you believe that love will last forever when kissing on the bridge of sighs?"
"Haha, I don't believe that all the couples in the world are here? But I must believe that this is just the beauty of people."
"Yes, in fact, whether love can last forever, it doesn't matter where you hug and kiss..."
As he said that, Xuan approached Xin'er with a wicked smile...
"I hate it, there are so many people next to us..."
"When did you become so timid?"
Xuan helplessly held his forehead and pointed at the couple in front who kissed him for no reason, and the couple in the back who kissed him for no reason... "Ahem, you guys are really..."
"baby……."
"Xuan, look..."
"kindness?"
