I. The central question
Q: What could we learn from Su Tungpo and Wang Chaoyun's romance?
A: About Su Tungpo's first marriage, Lin Yutang said that was a perfect couple because a genius man and a woman with normal knowledge got married. However, Wang Chaoyun was not a normal woman, she was the one understand Su Tungpo best. What's more, they shared the same hobbies and belief, such as poetry, Buddihism and Taoism. In other words, we could say Wang Chaoyun and Su Tungpo were the same kind of person, that's the reason why Wang Chaoyun followed Su Tungpo untill her last time of life. Maybe the best romance is that two person is either complementary or parallel. ? ?
