They cared very little about material wealth, so their friendship is known as “。gentlemenamp。39。s friendship as pure as water”。. The third type of friendship belong to those who show their utter devotion to each other. They are ready not only to share weal and woe but also to die for each other, like the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang in the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. . We all wish to have this kind of friendship, but itamp。39。s of great difficulty for the ordinary people to be as devoted as they were.
　　Fraternal love or friendship is wideranged and flexible. Generally speaking, everyone is our friend, just as Chairman Mao says “。Our friends are all over the world”。. But transcend age, sex, nationality, state and economic conditions. To them the most important is mon benefit, mon interest and understanding. Friendship is formed during the course of studying, working and fighting. The battle panions who have survived many hazards usually enjoy longlasting friendship.
　　However, fraternal love is not stable. Being away for too a long time, losing all mon benefits, friends will bee estranged. Once their interest has changed, they no longer understand each other, and even this would harm friendship. At all times and in all countries, many close friends and battle panions who once worked together and fought together became enemies in the end.

They may have the same feeling about you, so sometimes itamp。39。s better not to meet each other again. As the Chinese proverb goes “。friendship can not last for three years and flowers can not stay in blossom for three months”。. Itamp。39。s not so easy to maintain real friendship which needs mutual understanding, tolerance and sacrifice. Any kinds of harsh treatment will damage friendship.
　　Amatory love has been a mystery for ages. Thereamp。39。s neither a criterion to judge nor a mon rule to follow. Nobody can tell the exact reasons why love emerges. It is not always because of beauty , nor kindness , nor wisdom , nor strength . True love is like getting an electric shock, shaking our soul. It is a sweet dream, a kind of intoxication, indulgence, and endless passion.
　　True love doesnamp。39。t need a long time to grow up, to make clear the family tree of the other, neither does it needs the time to look ahead and behind again and again. Love is not marriage, which usually starts from love, but doesnamp。39。t always depend on love to maintain. Longlasting marriage can eventually turn into a kind of family love, a kind of panionship which preserves the panion but loses the passion. Love is often an wink of the eye, or a smile that hints mutual understanding. In spite of the great distance between them, pe
