《以愛之名》 In The Name Of Love

by Kong Ue Tung, Amy

People in the city find it difficult to be truly happy. Yet, everyone wants to find their own happiness. What does the word ‘happiness’ even stand for? ‘To love’ or ‘to be loved?’

Either way, the first person you should love is yourself. To live, to love yourself, and to feel love is a simple kind of joy.

In The Name Of Love inspires readers to think. It promotes the idea that those who love themselves can love others too.

The content is divided into two parts. The first part tells of how the protagonist Shihan began to have ‘part-time girlfriends’ and go on compensated dates due to peer pressure.

During the process, he gains recognition from others and gradually owns a lot of luxury goods such as branded handbags, and clothes. The second part presents the psychological struggle of protagonist Shihan with his own behaviors, especially when his compensated dating is discovered. What will happen next?

都市裏的人們普遍都較少能做到毫無保留地感到開心,每個人都期盼著尋找到屬於自己的幸福。但「幸福」這兩個字代表甚麼?

「愛人」還是「被愛」?

無論愛人還是被愛,第一人選都應是「自己」。活著去愛自己、感受愛,這麼簡單便是幸福。

《以愛之名》以一種生動方式讓讀者在閱讀過程中能夠啟發思考,帶出只有愛自己的人,才能更好地去愛別人的一種生活態度。

內容主要分為兩部分:第一部分講述主角詩涵在朋友介紹下開始接觸「兼職女友」及「援交」,從事過程中得到他人對自己表達好感,亦逐漸擁有大量奢侈品例如:金錢、名牌手袋和衣服等;第二部分則講述主角詩涵對自身行為出現心理鬥爭,加上援交一事被人發現,不同持分者將會採取甚麼態度來面對。
