For a long time, the title and the poster of the film made me think that the heroine must have been married to a cello in her whole life. After reading it, I found out that it was the cello who kidnapped her life.
Her life began with sister comparisons - "I think you must be honored to have such a talented sister" "If you want to perform together, then you must perform equally well".
I don't know whether it was out of dissatisfaction or just a desire to perform with her sister, she began to practice crazy, eating, taking classes... Practice all the time, let her stand out. Finally, she and her sister stood on the podium.
Before she knew it, the scales began to tip - "I think you must be honored to have such a talented sister"; her mother also started sending her to music lessons, and even bought a car for it. After her first public performance, she received a famous piano.
From then on, the fate of the two sisters began to change - the sister sat in the car, and the narrow position even raised the flute to touch the window; at the same time, "for the sake of insurance, you must be inseparable from this piano"... The two-year acting career allowed her to send her dirty laundry home to wash, and she also received worldwide praise. My sister couldn't even pass a performance exam.
However, she was admired, but not loved. "He made me feel that I was special." "He was just sweet talk, you're not special at all." My sister's marriage was just the beginning of stimulating her to seek a new identity. Yes, this time, it seems that she is still better than her sister, the golden boy and girl of the music industry, who performs all over the world; and her sister, who is married to a peasant woman "occasionally perform with amateur artists once a year".
One day, she suddenly found out that others recognized her piano skills, not her - as her sister said unfortunately - "Without the cello, you are nothing" "Just like a dancer who leaves dancing, you don't. It's not you who plays the qin." Out of some sensitive foreknowledge of the future of her body, she fled the stage and came to her sister's farm. Just as she asked for a gig with her sister as a child, she's asking for that honor again - this time with a husband who shares her sister! She wants to prove that she can still be loved without the cello.
However, she was wrong, this is not her happiness. So, in the end, she had to go back to her cello.
Unfortunately, fate did not give her more time. Her artistic life ended with a terminal illness. And her life is also lonely in pain.
Her tragedy is not the over-development of Zhong Yong type, but that what she has been pursuing is the happiness of others, and she is happier than others. In fact, when she first fell ill, if she hadn't pretended to be happier than her sister, she wouldn't have fallen into a situation where she was alone in an empty room, probably.
As my sister said, "Do you think it's easier to be an ordinary person than to be an extraordinary person?" An extraordinary person is a kind of "happier" in itself, although many times they don't think so. An ordinary person must endure the "happier" of others, and must be more wise to find his own happiness.
We can never get the happiness of others, nor can we always be happier than everyone, which may be the source of some tragedies. However, it is indeed much more difficult to "find your own happiness" than "to live happier than others". What it needs is a pair of very cold eyes and a very warm heart...
