1.) Read the passage on the bottom of 2741 and the top of 2744. Both refer to the poor treatment received by Lisu and Liuyuan from their families because of money and financial burdens. Although Liuyuan and Lisu experience grief from their family for different reasons do you think their emotional distress is something that brought them closer and eventually strengthened the love and bond they had with one another?
2.)The second to last paragraph on page 2762 shows Liuyuan and Lisu making love for the first time in their relationship. The next morning Liuyuan informs Lisu that he is leaving for England in one week. Do you think that at this point Lisu felt that Liuyuan had been using her up and that everything people had warned her about him being a playboy was finally ringing true?
