DESCRIPTION:
「問世間⋯⋯」是一首香港流行曲,高聲歌唱「始終你對我好」,然則困難萌生於相戀這事兒並非單方面的一廂情願,必須兩隻手掌才拍得響亮,就像圖中主角的小狗,早有自知之明,提腿一腳把老子不愛的心踢翻了!
"Legend of the Condor Heroes" is the title of a Cantonese pop song. The lyrics conclude with "In the end, you are the person who loves me most”. A harsh reality arises when love is unrequited. As the saying goes, "It takes both hands to clap loud".
In this scene, not only the doggie does not love his suitor back, he forcefully kicks his suitor’s heart (with all his might) in repulsion to the intrusive/ pervasive love.
