Dear Love Story,
Oh dear, I'm gonna sound so heartless & cynical, & I humbly
ask for your forgiveness if I sound like that 
The moral of the story isn't about girls being materialistic,
because guys have also changed since your time. Many (notice I did
NOT say "all") guys of the new generation are spoiled babies who
only know how to whine, & don't know the meaning of sheer hard
work. They expect success, riches & recognition to fall into
their laps. They are just as materialistic in wanting fast cars,
club memberships, etc, & sometimes, Not to impress a woman, but
to impress their peers.
When things don't go their way, they whine & gripe. They don't
know the meaning of endurance, of gritting their teeth. They zi4
gan1 duo4 luo4, saying that there's No such thing as true love, all
SG/HK/whatever country's girls are materialistic after 1 or 2
setbacks. They make women bashing a hobby.
I'm Not saying that there're No materialistic women, but this isn't
restricted to SG. Look at China, look at HK, look at Australia,
look at Hollywood! When guys woo a Hollywood babe, what do they
get? Diamonds. BIG diamonds.
I feel that the moral of your story is something different. That
sometimes, utter devotion to 1 lady does Not pay off. True, I
admire your perseverence, but did you win the girl's heart in the
end? Perhaps your story teaches others how to give yourself hope
even though you may Not get the girl in the end. Ultimately, you
wish her well, you want to help her, but you won't force her nor
pressure her (by asking her incessantly) into being together with
you. That, would be, a very admirable love.
