A sad love story 一段伤心的爱情故事 Li Fang was heart-broken. It was Valentine’s Day and Hu Jin had said she would meet him at the coffee shop after work. But she didn’t turn up. She could be with her friends right now laughing at him. She said she would be there at seven o’clock, and he thought she would keep her word. He had looked forward to meeting her all day, and now he was alone with his roses and chocolates, like a fool. Well, he was not going to hold his breath for her to apologize. He would drown his sadness in coffee. 李方的心都碎了。这天是情人节，胡瑾说她下班后会在咖啡馆和他见面的。可现在她却不见人影。也许她这会儿跟朋友在一起，正在取笑他呢。她说她会7点到达，他（李方）认为她会守信用的。他一整天都期盼着见到她，而现在他拿着玫瑰花和巧克力独自一人守候着，像个傻瓜一样。他不想屏息等她来道歉，他要用咖啡来解愁。 It was obvious that the manager of the coffee shop was waiting for Li Fang to leave — he wiped the tables, then sat down and turned on the TV — just what Li Fang needed!

Niulang tried to follow her, but the rivers of stars, the Milky Way, stopped him. Finding that Zhinv was heart-broken, her grandmother finally decided to let the couple cross the Milky Way to meet once a year. Magpies make a bridge of their wings so the couple can cross the river to meet on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. People in China hope that the weather will be fine on that day, because if it is raining, it means that Zhinv is weeping and the couple won’t be able to meet. 王母娘娘的外孙女下凡来到人间。她的名字叫织女，做纺织活的女孩。她在人间遇到了牛郎，两人相爱了。（李方想：“这正像我和胡瑾。”）于是他们秘密结了婚，并且生活得非常幸福。（李方想：“我们也可以像
