As a post-90s generation, since I found out that I have symptoms of early aging, I have begun to like all kinds of girly things. Pink earrings/mugs/mouse pads/socks/clothing… so many things, too many to count. This may be the legendary desire to cover up.


Even so, recently, I am inexplicably obsessed with Sex and the City, the urban survival guide TV series for older single women that has been popular all over the world since 1998. Like the title of the TV series, almost every episode has a scene of sex. Of course, unlike the real eighteen bans, the scale of each episode's clips can only be regarded as a touch of water. But this show is more than sex. I think it's through 4 charming heroines, and the core of what I want to illustrate is the independence of women.


Financially independent such as Miranda, a gifted student who graduated from Harvard University, bought her own apartment in NY at the age of 33, and it was in 1998. Thinking that the 33-year-old young women who rely on their own ability to buy a house in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou should be considered a minority. I remember a relationship between her and a bartender named steve. She invited the poor young steve to a company dinner. steve needed to buy a suit for this, but it was too difficult to afford because of financial difficulties. In the end, a relationship ended in vain. Miranda said it must be God punishing himself for his career success. When in a relationship, the man's career is clapped and praised by adults; and the woman is in a strong position, the relationship will be unequal.


Spiritually independent like samantha, a woman with hormones all over her body. Samantha is beautiful, with a slender figure and a face that is provocative and aggressive. All men bowed down under her pomegranate skirt. Samantha is a sexualist, and she will take the initiative in any situation where she can see that she likes men. For her, sex is the most beautiful thing in the world. As long as she wants to sleep, she will definitely have a good time. In the eyes of most people, it is men who dominate when it comes to sex, and women like samantha are an accident.


As ignorant and cute as Charlotte, a perfectionist patient in love. Charlotte's ignorance and cuteness is shown in that she always maintains a romance and fantasy about love. In materialistic NY CITY, she believes in fairy tales. She is also the most conservative among the 4 in her attitude towards sex.


Sensibility is supreme, like carrie, a sex column writer who is full of emotions and is good at asking questions about life. The TV series is also launched from Carrie's first perspective, and is laid out through Carrie's emotional experience/girlfriends/life/various viewpoints on society and interpersonal communication. There are many people who don't like Carrie, hate that she forgets who she is when she falls in love, hate that she has no habit of managing money when she is in her thirties, and hate that she keeps smoking. As the same sentimental person, Carrie's insight in each episode moved me very much. I think when I was in my thirties, I was also worrying about the things that Carrie would worry about. At the same time, carrie is also a fashion icon, and her dress in the play is undoubtedly the most instructive. Even in 2017, you can still find references to everyday dress in the show.

The guiding significance of this show on life/gender/relationship may still support me watching it for ten or eight years. The screenwriter is really great. Almost everyone can find their shadow in it.

The appearance of being beaten by life / when I was in high spirits / when I was dumped by my lover / when I fell in love with myself / can woman change a man / a sensual party / a topic that I can't talk about with my friends / split, split and go around The moment when you can't escape the fate / the last second when you are hello the next second who are you / the moment when you are chasing Vanity Fair / there are so many people with eccentricities in the world / you like me so I like you / when I love you this is When the words were spoken, the situation was really serious.

In short, nothing matters, what matters is how you feel about the world as a whole. Whoever you like, that person is for you. Your friends are there for you. The world opens up for you.


My favorites are still Carrie and Big.

Sex and the City quotes

  • Carrie: I revealed too much too soon. I was emotionally slutty.

  • Carrie: The most important thing in life is your family. There are days you love them, and others you don't. But, in the end, they're the people you always come home to. Sometimes it's the family you're born into and sometimes it's the one you make for yourself.
