The female version of spring breeze and rain?

When it comes to discussions and classifications for men and women, there is always a reason why "Spring Breeze and Rain" is for everyone, while "Mona Lisa" is for women. Wouldn't a man feel the same way after seeing this film, just to do what he wants to do instead of what everyone tells you to do?

I often feel that men are also in a very tough environment. Only when they have a sense of responsibility, ability, money, and a successful career and family can they be considered successful and not be blamed by the world. This is actually the same as women being asked to obey the four virtues, which is the restraint of personality independence.

But I am not a feminist. I admit that in terms of gender differences between men and women, there must be differences in the social responsibilities of men and women. When the rights of men are required, then you must also fulfill the obligations of men. So this is not discussed for now.

There is no doubt that we live in a male society, and even though most of the women are now independent, or at least supported when they were independent, you know when these issues are still being discussed. This inequality still exists everywhere.

I won't discuss the specific details, I just want to talk about my personal feelings. As a college youth teacher who has been married for half a year, I am still engaged in this career that I love. At the same time, I am very afraid of having children and having a family of my own. Probably most people will be like Katherine said, you can do both, but the truth is, at this stage alone, I already feel a lot of pressure from the family. When what you want is in conflict with what the people around you are asking for, it can be very difficult for you to make choices. Don't talk about "anything is lost or gained", but under the oppression of the big environment, you will even begin to question whether what you want is really that important? Are the demands of others more important than your own happiness? Is it more important to make your family happy than to pursue your own worth?

All the problems are currently unsolved for me.

While watching this movie, I cried and cried, and was deeply distressed by my inability to make personal and family choices. From a personal point of view, I admire Katherine's inner strength very much. Some people say that she cried and some people said that she was still strong when she lost her temper, but what I saw was a grass that was hit by wind and rain and was trampled by passers-by Still shining. I think this is the power of life, this is the beauty of human nature.

It's not just female beauty, it's the brilliance of the soul that everyone should have.
