Emotional intelligence.

The first principle of modern social survival law is emotional intelligence, and it must have been the same in that era. But Song Lian, a girl who dropped out of college in her first year to marry, was defeated by this word she did not know. In the beginning, the master liked her and was patient. He lit the lamp every night and allowed her to bring the meal back to the house for an exception. Then the third wife took the initiative to submit to her; and Yan'er, the helpless little girl, could have become a The closest person in the deep courtyard. But the eccentric and arrogant girl couldn't hold a grain of sand in her eyes. He threw a bowl and left without having spinach tofu for dinner. When his strategy was discovered, he let out Yan'er and let out his breath. He was drunk and sold the third wife's affair.

Every image and soundtrack of the film is impressive. Whether it's the lantern, the third wife's costume or the sound of a small hammer hitting the foot. But the scene that struck my heart the most was the white snow in front of Songlian's gate before the third wife was killed. From the front of the gate to the eaves of the porch, there is not a single footprint. After the master sealed her off and killed Yan'er indirectly by letting out her anger in a fit of anger, no one else came to her lonely yard. After hearing the noise, she walked out the door and saw the bright red lantern, the noisy crowd and the struggling third wife.

She has the character of a wild horse, but fate insists that she become a sheep.

Since he was a child, he has been classified as a quirky and strong-tempered type. Ask yourself many nails, get hurt, and bleed, but stubborn thoughts don’t mean much repentance. I think the reason why I don't want to bow my head is probably because I can't tell when it's cowardly and when it's open-minded; when it's hypocritical and when it's time-conscious; when it's admitting defeat and when it's mature.

Many people are the same, pretentious, like a trapped beast, angrily pushing away all the people around him who could have been allies. When we are young, we always think that we can do whatever we want, and everything depends on our temperament. Cry when you are not happy, laugh when you are happy, get angry when you are angry, and clap your hands when you are happy. Unconsciously, I set up too many enemies for myself and hurt too many people who love me. It took many, many losses and many, many detours to understand that the most important thing in society is to turn enemies into friends.

Hopefully, in the near future, I can learn to see all of this in an adult way.
