Whether or not Liu Rusi's love story in New World was a tragedy was a subjective question. Different people might have different definition and values of love. Some people might think that Liu Rusi's love was a tragedy because she didn't get happiness in the end, while others might think that her love was a comedy because she finally reunited with her lover and spent the rest of her life together. However, from the plot of the novel, Liu Rusi and her lover had experienced many difficulties and trials, including life and death separation and identity isolation. Although they finally reunited, their reunion did not bring happiness or love, but was accompanied by more pain and contradictions. Thus, it could be said that Liu Rusi's love was a tragedy to a certain extent.
