After reading it, let’s talk about some feelings.
After reading it, I firmly believe that education is really the only way for the poor to truly stay away from their native land. Lila is very smart, but unfortunately, no matter how hard she tries, she will never have the opportunity to continue her school education. Because she was born because of her father's tyranny, she will not be able to open her eyes in the end. , unable to contact different people, destined to always be in the company of the common people. Even though her smart and beautiful charm attracted two rich men in the block, she finally chose to marry one of them. But being rich and having vision and status are two different things. Just like the nouveau riche and the elite intellectuals, the gap between them cannot be bridged, just like the protagonist's family in the Indian movie "Starting Line" is rich and wants the next generation and the elite intellectuals Set off together, but the regret of being spurned and joked is incomparable.
From the moment she was unable to continue her education, her whole life seemed to be nailed to that land, where she continued to take root. She just transformed from an embarrassed commoner to a wealthy and profligate commoner, and the neighborhood has not changed. People haven't changed, just being a rich man and spending money in that smoky neighborhood, that's all...
This is the fate of most people at the bottom. If you marry a little better, you can be great in that circle. I remember a girl who was the same age as me in my hometown, when I was still in high school, she was arranged on a blind date and married to a business family in the town. At that time, her mother showed off her pride all over the village, and their eyes could only be eyes. Just as far as it goes. It doesn't mean that educated people have lived a better life, no, maybe it's more tiring and annoying every day, it's time to worry about the trivial things in life, it's a mid-life crisis and a crisis, no kind of life is absolute. Better without suffering, but at least take another path that is not so incomprehensible and less passive, but that you are not trapped, you are not without struggle, not an eternal frog at the bottom of the well, let alone your life With breakthroughs and defiance, you really won the race against birth.
I also remembered a sentence I read before, the poor people spend most of their lives running around for life, and they have exhausted all their physical strength, and there is no time to think about those who do not have it!
Lila's father, he represents the thinking of most people at the bottom. They are blinded by the embarrassment and hardships of life. Those who are short-sighted can only see the food and clothing in front of them. Perhaps they have no illusions about the paralyzed life in front of them. It is only one-third of one acre of his own land. He doesn't even know the power of education. His fists may be the only way of education that he understands and can do. The patriarchal ideology is his only victory. He doesn't know how receiving formal education can change the future or life of his children. .
I can really understand such a low-level growth environment. The same shadow can be seen in thousands of rural areas in our motherland. Poverty and backwardness are really a kind of disease, which is why many people hate returning to their original place, because they often feel that their life is doomed when they were born there, and they don't have much choice in life because they are not qualified.
It's not that someone is born to dislike the poor and love the rich, but just like in the play, there are too many pedantic parents. There are too many people who have to be pulled out by their families too early to enter the factory and rely on their physical strength to support their families in order to survive. Desires, but gradually there will be no more, because they will be forced to accept their fate, and even the desire to resist will be wiped out. However, people are still very resilient, and gradually everyone can learn to have fun in hardship, but it is regrettable and helpless throughout their lives.
Lennon was lucky to meet a father who was not numb enough to even feel superior. When she was going to high school, when her father dragged her to show off to her classmates, others would not understand his happiness. Because others are still struggling with food and clothing, there is no higher level of joy. It shows that people at the bottom who want to change their fate through education are lonely and risky. Most people dare not take risks and I have no time to take risks.
Lennon's rules try hard to give her the opportunity to read all the time. This is what Lila has been jealous of all her life. They have been friends for half a century because there are flaws in each other's lives, and they can find what they want to do from each other. That shadow, although the screenwriter made Lila smart and beautiful, admired by many boys, and of course very egoistic and attractive, but her destiny was set at the beginning, she couldn't read more than everything else, I am even more envious of Lennon. Although Lennon has never known how to resist, and I have never seen how good it is, I think her intellectual vision will definitely wake her up in the future. Needless to say, her husband does not It will be a nouveau riche or a skilled worker, someone who talks to her about poetry, famous novels, and ideas, even if her life ends up being a piece of chicken feathers, but this is still different, she has taken risks in her life!
Reminds me of a deskmate of mine in elementary school. She is as smart as Lila and has Lennon's hard work and discipline. She is like a combination of the two. I'm ashamed, even if I want to compete with her, but I'm not as smart as her, and I'm not educated by anyone. Since I was a child, I have poor self-control, and my grades will never keep up with her. I envy her and also have a visionary father who has been working hard to support and educate her, and now she is a Ph.D. student at the University of Hong Kong. She is probably the person I admire most around me. I don't dare to be jealous, only those who are too close will be jealous.
It doesn't mean that she has lived a good life since then, or that Lennon's life is really better than Lila's. Everyone's way of living has his meaning, and he will understand a lot after all kinds of torture. The truth is that if you don’t live the life you want to live, you will always have resentment and resentment towards your life and yourself and some of the relationships that tie you down. That’s probably the case. In the play growing up, Lennon has always been envious of Lila. They compete with each other and show off each other, but they are supervising each other. But Lennon has always felt that she is worse than Lila, and she also wants to try Lila. The minds of adolescent girls are very complicated, and this drama explores them in depth. Girls always quietly compare and approach, quietly disgust and quietly rely on them. In adolescence, they also value friendship more than family affection. Friends keep each other warm.
Lennon is a person with no ego, maybe she doesn't know what she will do after she keeps studying, it seems that she has been chasing Lila instead, and I don't know if my doctor's deskmate really wanted to keep studying when he was a child, Maybe it's just society telling her that reading would be good. But it is certain that at least she now knows that the education ladder she has read and climbed has taken her to another world, she has flown away, and the life she has experienced is also the trouble of other circles.
I am envious of Lennon, and even more envious of my roommates, because that is my life's regret, lack and incomprehension. Fortunately, the common people in this society now have more choices and more self than before, otherwise I would dare to Do you have to insist on yourself and follow your heart like Lila? Or do you just accept your fate like most people and just go with the flow? I don't know either, anyway, most people's lives are messed up, but after having this mess and thinking about that mess, life will never be complete, it depends on whether you choose to compromise or toss.
