Yesterday, I slept until I woke up naturally. When I woke up, the sun was shining brightly. The weather was just right and I was in a good mood. After having breakfast with my wife, I saw a promotional poster while shopping, and bought two tickets to watch the movie. Maybe it's because on Friday, there was no one but us in this show, and I watched the "Later Us" which was a private show.
The movie is not a classic, but it is worth watching. It depicts every bit of what a Northeastern couple experienced in Beidriu is very real. The tenants in the group rented house, constantly changing jobs and moving, having a casual breakfast and dinner, not willing to take a taxi to save money, A trustworthy landlord, a brother with a shattered dream, every scene and picture reproduces the daily life of Bei Piao people one by one.
After watching the movie and walking home with my wife in the sunshine, my wife asked me a question: Why did Fang Xiaoxiao not agree to get along with Lin Jianqing during the Chinese New Year, and what kind of life does she want to live?
This is an interesting question, and it happens to be at the heart of the film. The main reason for Lin Jianqing's failure to be with Fang Xiaoxiao is not only because Lin Jianqing is a scumbag, but because he has never been clear about what kind of life Fang Xiaoxiao wants to live and what kind of life he wants to live.
Fang Xiaoxiao and Lin Jianqing first met on the train back home. During the Spring Festival that year, Lin Jianqing asked Fang Xiaoxiao why no one in the family had to go home for the New Year. Fang Xiaoxiao's answer: If I don't go home for the Chinese New Year, no one will care about my dad . This sentence points out Fang Xiaoxiao's character. She lost her father since she was a child, grew up in a single family, and her mother married abroad when she became an adult. The girl who grew up in this kind of family is extremely insecure, lacks love, and has an eclectic plot. In order to protect herself, she is very manly, doesn't care about anything, and is very strong and independent, but these are all used to cover up the little girl who is lonely and lacks love.
This kind of character will lead to the fact that as long as there are older men who treat her better, they will easily fall, so in the movie Fang Xiaoxiao talks about one boyfriend after another, and each boyfriend is many years older than her.
Lin Jianqing asked why he was looking for such a boyfriend, Fang Xiaoxiao replied and gave a few requirements: he should have a Beijing hukou, a stable job, and a big house. Lin Jianqing remembered it in his heart, and believed that this was the life Fang Xiaoxiao wanted to live, and he had been working hard to achieve this dream.
When they confirmed their feelings and finally got together, the sentence they used to express their feelings was: go up to nine days to embrace the moon, go down to five oceans to catch turtles. This phrase is repeated several times in different scenarios. This sentence is the life Fang Xiaoxiao wants, to have someone who loves her at all costs, and a warm and loving home. In order to achieve this dream, Fang Xiaoxiao gave up her pride, gave everything to do the work she didn't want to do, was scolded by her superiors, sexually harassed by clients, and went to accommodate Lin Jianqing. In order for Lin Jianqing to have face in front of outsiders and to reassure his father, he worked hard to do everything well, and hid his grievances and disappointments.
Lin Jianqing didn't understand this. He only thought that Fang Xiaoxiao wanted to live a life of a big house. He was from Beijing. Before the Spring Festival in 2009, he rented a car and bought a car of Quanjude Roast Duck. With a blow, his fragile self-esteem was stomped on the ground, and he never recovered. led to a series of subsequent blows. After facing these blows, she only escaped through games. These performances made Fang Xiaoxiao slowly lose her confidence in him. She did not have the confidence to live with such a man for the rest of her life. When Lin Jianqing chased to the subway station and saw Fang Xiaoxiao in the car, there was still a glimmer of hope, but Lin Jianqing did not get on the train, which made her confidence disappear.
Lin Jianqing became famous through games, and bought the big house Fang Xiaoxiao wanted right away. During the Chinese New Year that year, it was the moment when he was full of loyalty and sent a text message to Fang Xiaoxiao: Let go back together. My dad keeps asking about you. . . But I just can't say it, we split. Fang Xiaoxiao was moved and gave her a glimmer of hope.
2011 New Year's Eve was also the year that Fang Xiaoxiao gave up on Lin Jianqing completely. Lin Jianqing's father said that his eyes are always empty, but Lin Jianqing didn't care, and directly said that his father would move in with us after the new year. He didn't even think about what kind of life his father wanted to live. Also think that Xiaoxiao doesn't understand herself, thinks that I will buy you a house and a house for my dad, thinking that you will be happy? He also said something that really made Xiao Xiao sad:
After Fang Xiaoxiao heard it, she directly told Lin Jianqing the reason for breaking up: I want a home. Unexpectedly, Lin Jianqing had never really understood her thoughts, and had absolutely no idea what kind of life she wanted. She just thought that when she was rich, buying a house and allowing her to register in Beijing was love. After Xiaoxiao listened to it, she felt more grief than death, and returned to the world where she was alone against life, protecting herself with a hard shell like a crab. Since then, she has lost all colors in her life, only gray.
It wasn't until the end of the movie that I received a letter from Lin Jianqing's father to Xiaoxiao, which made Xiaoxiao really let go of this relationship and let the world regain its color.
"For fate, it's good to be able to live up to the other party. It's really difficult to live up to this life. You may have to wait until you are old to realize this."
Although Lin Jianqing lived an enviable life through games in the movie, he never really thought about what kind of life he wanted, and became a scumbag. His performance is as follows:
- There is still Xiao Xiao in my heart, but I found another woman to marry and have children.
- Without considering his father's feelings, he took his father to Beijing to live a life he thought was good. After my father left, I returned to the Lin's restaurant by myself, only to realize that I was wrong.
- Said to be for Xiaoxiao: go up nine days to embrace the moon, go down five oceans to catch turtles. Give up after encountering setbacks, and do not persevere. More importantly, she never thought Xiaoxiao's real thoughts penetrated into her heart.
- When he had a wife and children, he was in the same room as Fang Xiaoxiao and almost went to bed.
In fact, Lin Jianqing still had a chance. If he was a bit more scumbag, he would put down his dignity during the Spring Festival that year, don't say hard words, and coax Xiaoxiao. Even after the quarrel, sending Xiaoxiao back to a person's home, the overbearing president Fan, pressed it directly on the bed, and the head of the bed quarreled at the end of the bed. Say soft words on the bed, such as: After the New Year, come with me to accompany our dad to check his eyes and get a marriage certificate? Or let her conceive a child, will it be another ending.
Speaking of this to his wife, he also boasted: Lin Jianqing is far worse than me. Before meeting you, he had no plans to get married. After meeting you, I have no idea of marrying anyone else.
My wife was fortunate enough to know you twenty years ago, and we were very happy afterwards.
