I am the person at the bottom of the blind date and contempt chain, but I sincerely hope that people in the upper reaches of the contempt chain can find true love.
American dramas are very powerful. No matter how many times a subject has been filmed, each time can produce a different pattern, but no matter how renovated it is, the most important thing is always "love".
I love watching American TV dramas, it's true. Take urban dramas and romantic dramas as an example. China likes Mary Sue, and has always loved Mary Sue. The urban drama written by our grandma Yi Shu, the girl is always beautiful, the education is high, the ability is strong, the family is good, and the boyfriend I talk with is always tall and handsome. Grandma Yishu has probably always lived the life of a little princess, and she has probably never experienced what ordinary life is like for us ordinary people.
Even if there are perfect male and female protagonists, they are too far from our ordinary people's lives. We ordinary people come home after a tired day, hoping to see "it was like this on TV, but it will be alright in the end". drama.
But in American TV series, there is no perfect person. Everyone has different perfections from appearance to education to family. It is precisely because we are not perfect that we have a chemical reaction with each other, and everything is real.
When I watched "This is Us", I was in awe of the storytelling ability of American dramas. This is a family drama, and there are many family problems in the family that are bumpy, swaying, long-winded, trivial, and those family problems that make my hair stand on end. But if Americans are warmed up, it is really too warm. When I watched this drama, I had the urge to "If there is love, I would also like to go into the trivialities of such a life and see it".
But there is no perfect story, every character and every story is broken. A father who can't find a job and a mother whose singing dream can't be fulfilled, a married life with triplets without a house, and the long growth process of three children, these embarrassing aspects of life are the real life. . Seeing how the family helps each other move forward in an embarrassing life is the best part of this drama.
I recommend this drama to my colleagues who are involved in family chores. I said, look at it, it is very warm, and you will still be full of passion for life after watching it. She told me the next day that the people here are too loving. The Chinese can do so little and so loving, and what problems can't be solved.
But having love is something that can be chosen and cultivated in itself.
Blind date stories in China are very popular recently. Parents regard their children as a commodity, and some conditions written crookedly on a piece of A4 paper are the targets that can be exchanged in the market. On my way home from get off work, I personally saw mothers team up to the Xierqi area of Beijing where IT boys are concentrated, put their daughter's conditions on the ground, and let the people coming and going on the street judge.
Of course I know why parents do this. What parent doesn't want their child to be well? But when they put their children's conditions on that and start to match the conditions one by one like doing Lianliankan, marriage and the rest of their lives are just a game of matching conditions in their eyes.
It's hard to imagine how a marriage that begins with such a scene can have the urge to make each other live a better life, the vision to see a bigger world together, and the expectation of a better life together?
Under the calculations of the two families, the two took out all the chips that could be matched, and then began to get married, have children, and put their minds on the children for the next 20 years. This is a good situation, at least it calmly meets the expectations of the two families for these two people.
If the situation is slightly wrong, it will be a wheel-style tearing war that starts from blind date. Everyone's time is very tight, how can they have so much energy to tear them apart, and after such a tear, how will the next few decades pass?
Why choose a person and a marriage in this commoditized way? Life is very long. The person who spends the longest time with you and knows you best is not a parent or child, but a partner! It's really hard for me to imagine how they would have lived a long life without love.
Of course, in the eyes of the uncles and aunts who are blind dates for their children, I am the person at the bottom of the blind date chain, but I still sincerely hope that those who are at the upper end of the chain of contempt can find true love and don’t chaotically take over. down for a lifetime.
It's an option.
The six months in the United States changed a lot for me. I saw in America what every day in life can be like if there is love. It turns out that there is no blind shooting in American TV dramas, and the daily life of a loving family is the same as in TV dramas. Then you will feel that there is nothing difficult to overcome, as long as your family and friends are by your side, everything will be fine. When I lived at Grandma Hiedie's house, I hugged each other every day before going to bed, saying: have a good night, love you! Then he fell asleep with the corners of his mouth raised.
Are they born so loving, so can they express love? No, people are really the same everywhere. As long as they are willing to give, share, and express, everyone can reap love. Love is a gift, but it is also an ability. Since it is a person who wants to go on hand in hand and get along and cultivate openly and honestly, in order to resist the boredom and dullness of the long road in the future.
This is a cultivation.
Having seen what the days of love are like, it is impossible to live the days of being trapped in material things and sacrificing love. The days will get better and better, so please choose to walk with love.
Occasionally when you can't hold on, open "This is Us" and watch a warm heart.
