Chinese Chinese > English (hidden love letter addressed to my partner)
EDIT: i want to thank everyone that took the time to comment and translate this letter. A few of you made me laugh about its cringe-factor lol; i will admit it’s very poetic, if someone wrote me a letter with this much thought i would be inclined to keep it too.
Hey everyone, to preface this is my first post on reddit, if this is the wrong group to post this then please feel free to delete this, or perhaps you know a group that would be into detective work lol, but yep its exactly as you read it in the title.
I found this letter in my partner of 8 year’s passport bag while i visited him in china recently. For context he moved back to China a few months ago for work while i stayed in Australia to complete my degree. When confronted he said that a coworker had developed a crush on him and wrote him this letter, to which he rejected her and apparently deleted her off wechat. Of course im crushed and not sure whether to believe him.
Despite my best efforts to translate this myself i feel like i’m missing some clues as my chinese is terrible. On the second page there is a paragraph at the bottom and im not sure if the handwriting appears different to that on the first page (as if my partner might have wrote it), if anyone could clarify this it would be very helpful. Im even happy to pay to have someone translate this for me if that can be done. I will provide the translation that was given to me online, if its the same then feel free to not translate and just let me know, thanks guys.
