"You'll meet a lot of assholes in your life and they hurt you because they're stupid. You don't have to respond to their ill will, the worst thing in the world is low self-esteem and revenge. Always maintain your self-esteem and integrity, and don't forget that you are Who and your country." This is what my grandmother said to Ma Jia in "I grew up in Iran", and I think it just hits the core of the relationship between the country and the individual and the growth of people. What does a country mean to a person? We probably don’t think about this issue often in our daily life, because the country we live in is stable and prosperous, but for a little girl born in Iran, the brand of the country not only remains in her heart, but even in her heart. on her forehead. Wars, brutal rule, religious taboos, massacres and arrests...Life has become so easy to lose, people are not allowed to drink and revel, makeup is not allowed, women must wear headscarves when they go out...All kinds of restrictions imprison people in cages. Rulers are self-righteous and rest on their laurels, but the pursuit of freedom is human nature, and no one can deprive it of this nature. Similarly, cultural exchanges are also essential, because the influence of mainstream culture cannot be resisted. Even from the perspective of resisting cultural aggression, I think the best way to preserve one's own culture is to let it develop in line with the trend of the times. And repressive policies will only provoke resistance, people will still secretly violate the ban in the film, and there will still be many revolutionaries engaged in anti-government activities, and even sacrifice their lives for freedom. As a child, Ma Jia witnessed and experienced all of this with her own eyes. In order to grow up better, her parents sent her to study in Vienna. She was about to leave her hometown at a young age, but she was already lucky because her family still had the strength to send her. She went abroad, and most Iranian children are still growing up in a deformed environment, maybe they have become tools of the ruler, such as the guards who carry out inspection orders, and they are only fifteen or sixteen years old. After going abroad, Ma Jia experienced western pop culture and tried to integrate into the new environment. The brand of "Iran" became a label she wanted to hide, because its long-term negative and misunderstood image made her often discriminated against. Make her feel ashamed, even though she is innocent. This also seems to be the prejudice that most people may have, discriminating against people from those chaotic politically sensitive areas, but everyone is different, it can't be generalized, tinted glasses are unfair, we don't really understand them. After going abroad, how to confirm her identity has become a difficult issue for Maja. Countries and individuals are like the relationship between mother and child. Blood is thicker than water. Even if you change your nationality, even if you move abroad, being born in Iran will always be the case. is a fact that cannot be chosen. After the tangle, Ma Jia finally shouted that she is Iranian, I think this shows that she also psychologically identifies with the "blood relationship" between herself and the motherland, just like a child finally admits that maybe in the eyes of others Very ugly mother. We may have encountered similar situations more or less, and doubt about identity confirmation, but this is a person's "root". If we don't know where we come from, we will also be confused about where we should go. We don't need to. Feeling inferior, accepting and being grateful for your birthplace is a positive attitude. After all, the place of birth provides you with the first sanctuary of life and inevitably infuses its traditions into the blood of the newborn. In addition to the relationship between family and country, Ma Jia's unique growth experience has also inspired me a lot. She provides a sample on how to be an independent, ambitious woman. Women in Iran have been discriminated against for a long time, as if they are accessories of men. Maja is aware of and vigorously resists this inequality. She objected to women wearing long robes in the art class, which was recognized by many girls. In fact, the status of modern women is gradually improving. We advocate equality and oppose the image of women being submissive and submissive in the past. Women should be brave enough to voice their voices like Ma Jia. Finally, I would like to talk about Ma Jia's love experience. Maybe for girls, love is always full of fantasy, and Ma Jia is no exception. She is also an infatuated girl, and she even fell in love with a very bad person until she was betrayed. In decadence, she got married in a hurry, and she was timid when she wanted to divorce. In fact, love is only one aspect of life, but not the whole. Because of their own weakness and attachment to men, women are always indulging in fantasy, unable to face love itself, and lack courage. But in addition to love, our life can be very colorful, love life, love yourself, and love others better. Women should also have dreams and not be afraid of the distance. Just like Ma Jia's mother hoped for her, she sent her daughter abroad again in pain so that she could not endure so many constraints and boldly pursue what she wanted. Dreams and freedom are what everyone wants. "Always maintain your self-esteem and honesty, and don't forget who you are and your country." Grandma said to Marga, a wise and graceful woman, and I love it. I think that after going abroad this time, Ma Jia should have a broader life and be happy. Although she still has an indelible mark, this is no longer an obstacle to her.
