...I was pissed when Dave's wife told Jimmy that maybe Dave killed his daughter. How can a woman do this? Some netizens in Taiwan think of the story of the Greek myth of Orpheus, which is about distrust between husband and wife. I thought of "21 Grams" that I watched not long ago, and I had a feeling at that time: the feelings of parents for their children, it should be said that the love of fathers for their daughters completely surpasses the feelings of their own wives.
To put it harshly, the wife is a sexual partner. This kind of feeling is not pure, and the establishment of feeling is conditional, and it can be combined or divided according to the reason. And the feelings for the daughter not only have the element of love (the daughter is the lover of the father's previous life), but also a feeling that penetrates into the blood.
Liu Yong once described it as follows: In a Western wedding, the father takes the daughter's hand and hands it to the groom. In the background, the music of the father's young daughter will even be played. Liu Yong said that he may not be able to control himself when his daughter is married. Tears welled up.
There is also a Chinese joke: In ancient times, there was a grandfather, and his daughter married. After the ceremony, he was sent to the bridal chamber. The staff and the guest were drinking in the courtroom, and suddenly they stood up against the table. The guest asked why, and replied, "That kid must be making a fool of himself!"
