There are two talented teenagers in the film, Lin and Ban. In fact, the family backgrounds of the two are very similar. They are both below the poverty line, and both are single-parent families. Therefore, both of them have to rely on scholarships to continue their studies.
But why is the heroine's character bold, independent, and adventurous, while the hero is cowardly, has poor resistance to pressure, and follows the rules? And why is the heroine able to realize her mistake at the end of the film and have the courage to admit it, but the hero is getting deeper and deeper and more intense?
I think it has a lot to do with their parents.
Although the heroine's family is very poor, the heroine's father is very optimistic and positive. Although he has been wearing a tattered shirt and is being ridiculed and stingy, he does not show any sadness. Instead, he earns money for himself by "teaching the piano" for his daughter. After buying a shirt, he joked that it is best to match it with a pair of pants, which shows the optimism and humor in his father's bones. This also makes the daughter smile when she thinks that she can make money to buy clothes for her father.
The male protagonist is not. The male protagonist's home runs a laundromat, and the male protagonist's mother's only line in the film is, "The washing machine is broken again, and the clothes can't be washed again." The words were full of sorrow, helplessness, and the exhaustion that life gave her. So, this emotion is passed on to the male protagonist. In his world, he does not allow himself to fail, because he wants to give his mother a good life. This kind of emotion made him nervous for a long time, and he was under huge pressure for a long time. In the film, he would vomit whenever he was under a lot of pressure, which was also proved.
In addition, in the events of several major nodes of the heroine, the father participated, and indeed played the role that the father should have. For example, when the heroine was found cheating for the first time, the father's anger, although the heroine did not feel that she had done something wrong at the time, the father's anger was a shock to the heroine; when the heroine went to Australia and lost contact , the tension of the father, although there is no rivalry between the father and the heroine here, but the tension of the father shows his concern for the heroine; the heroine returned from Australia, the father went to the airport to pick her up, and did not blame her and "boyfriend for stealing" Run to play and deceive him", and also used humorous words to ask her daughter to bring her boyfriend back for dinner, which shows the father's respect and tolerance for his daughter; finally, knowing that the daughter has done such a wrong thing, the father has become a Daughter's strong backing.
Contrary to the male protagonist? He studied hard, helped in the laundry, was beaten and thrown into the garbage dump, and lost his scholarship, but he did not appear in any role as his mother. Only a profile of when mother went to sign when she was expelled from school. The mother is exhausted from taking care of herself and the male protagonist. She has no time to take care of things other than food and clothing, and has no time to understand the male protagonist's life and thoughts. The male protagonist is physically and psychologically lonely.
The influence of a family of origin on a person is huge. I hope every parent in the world can realize this and do their best to give their children a home with positive energy.
