In fact, the students' calm criticism of Auntie instantly reminded me of Joan Baez. I feel exactly the same about Joan Baez and the students about Auntie: her songs are too intellectual, she stays in a safe enough circle to maintain her perfect image, a real ballad singer, or a singer shouldn't It is so.
But for Auntie, I couldn't help defending her for a while: it's a matter of lifestyle, not attitude. In fact, he was right, she would be sad when she was poked. The reason why we still like her is because we have seen her real and vulnerable side, and people are inherently imperfect.
We like "The Future", and Aunt Yu in it is because of her seriousness. She still insists on such a sincere life when she is old, she reads, teaches, and thinks seriously. Aunt Yu is so beautiful (old and thin is king)! Intellectual life at its peak is her style. In fact, before my auntie, I didn't think intellectuality was a curse word like a talented woman. However, intellect is not a panacea, it enriches life but cannot replace life itself. When a person reaches middle age, after a series of blows such as children growing up and leaving, mother's death, divorce and career low, life is subtracted one by one, and those identities that have put pressure on her and allowed her to maintain a sense of security in the past are all. When items were "cleared", she sometimes had nowhere to go. After all, it was not the book that brought her comfort, but the paranoid old cat. What is the most important? For a moment, I will think of the hero's mother in "Boyhood". Her career is inspiring enough and her life is full of blood. When her children grow up and leave home, she has a confused expression in the heart of the heart - is this a midlife crisis?
Come back and talk about the students' evaluation of Auntie, in fact, I am also curious about whether the student's utopian life is the nourishment to support his thoughts. Because he emphasizes that he and his girlfriend are not on holiday (family life), and admits that it is possible to be like this (freedom) without children. So if he is caught in the mold of life like Aunt Yu (not to mention that it is a cage), once he enters the state of marriage, childbirth, and raising a family, can he maintain his spirit of exploration? This is not an excuse for Aunt Yu's "unfreedom". I'm just curious, will he be burdened by the same sense of security or habits as Aunt Yu, or will he try a more free and flexible way of life?
Do we have a chance to be better people?
