This play tells the story of two women from different ages. These two women have a lot in common, they both love food and are interested in food; have a husband who loves them, supports them, listens to their dreams, and helps them realize their interests.
Two women of different ages, in different places, doing the same thing - cooking and writing. Two women of different ages encountered different setbacks in order to fulfill their own interests and dreams, and different blows also received different rewards. I personally think that's a very romantic picture.
They didn't learn to cook, but they discovered their hobbies later, so they decided to persevere and fulfill their ideals. There are many setbacks and obstacles along the way, but also a lot of happiness and achievements. In the end, they all became famous, how worthy of their name, how well-deserved.
Just like "a successful man must have a successful woman behind it". Successful and happy women in two different generations had a husband who was willing to support, listen, accommodate, and help them. So they can complete their dreams and goals without any worries.
In some traditional countries with the concept of male superiority and inferiority to women, the above is probably difficult for these men to do. In these countries with a strong traditional concept of male superiority, men are like the sun, women and children are like other planets, revolving around him day and night, all centered on the head of the family. Women burn their heads day and night for their husbands, children, parents, and work. They can't wait to grow three heads and six arms to deal with it. Where are these leisurely pleasures?
So the most enviable thing about Julia and Julie is not their achievements and happiness, but their happiness. Because what they have is a husband who can let his wife have her own piece of sky to fly freely. Not a husband who just asks his wife to circle his sky.
