A woman's sky is low and her wings are thin

After watching this movie, I sincerely feel that I can live in this era and I am really happy.

Women of that era really had absolutely no hobbies and spiritual content of their own. Gong Li played the only flute that the Fourth Wife was thinking about, and was burned by the master without being told. In the evening, I was called by the third wife to play mahjong with me. When the master came back and saw that she was not in the room, he also scolded her for not staying in the room well.

It's terrible, a woman's entire life from the age of 19 onwards is a man who often comes to sleep with her. This man is not only one woman, he can marry young and beautiful concubines one after another, and you can only have this one man in your life. Then you have to ensure that you are young and beautiful, and you have to be smart, so that men will maintain their desire for you. But a woman can be young and beautiful for a few years, and in the days after that, you can only watch one woman after another being favored and lit, but not you, that kind of sad loneliness can be imagined Know.

However, your life still cannot have any other content, and the center of your life can still only be that man. In the hopeless waiting day after day, that waiting itself becomes hopeless in the end. Just like the eldest lady in the movie, at the beginning, after the fourth wife played by Gong Li got married, after seeing the eldest lady for the first time, she told the housekeeper around her that she was a hundred years old, why is she so old. It is conceivable how the eldest lady has been through these years. She should have never been lit by the master since she was about thirty-five to forty years old. The lighting determines the treatment and status of women in this cold house. What kind of spiritual beliefs did she rely on to support her in the following years? Her heart must have died long ago, as she said, I am nothing but an old statue.

It's hard to live in this yard without dying. There are several ways a woman can survive. The second grandmother found the pleasure of staying in the yard by fighting wits and courage with various concubines; the third wife couldn't bear the loneliness, so she found a man outside, and finally was hanged in the dead man's house; The fourth wife will be crazy within a year of marrying.

I think if I lived in that era, I would be crazy sooner or later if I didn't die.

Finally, I am deeply grateful that I live in this era. Although I am still very poor and do not have much freedom, at least I still have the freedom to love freely, and also have the freedom to divorce. I also enjoy the spiritual content and freedom. Compared to the women of that era, it was really heaven. ?️?️

No wonder Xiao Hong said, "A woman's sky is low and her wings are thin." "All my misfortunes are because I am a woman."

Feeling the above?️
