Yesterday, I was having dinner with some friends of my parents and talking about the college entrance examination. My mother started to tell me how much I regret not applying to HKU at that time. Those uncles and aunts also agreed. Yes, yes, education in Hong Kong is still different after all. It is also in line with international standards, but it is not as far from home as it is to go to the congress. My mother nods her head desperately and sighs again and again. I regret it even more when you say that. Why didn't I even try it at that time! I looked at her pained expression and worried that she was about to cry.
In this way, I was reminded of the movie that made me cry and laugh at the right moment. Most of the people around us should resonate with this movie, the youth that is infinitely missed, countless regrets and unfinished dreams. In an age like this in a country like 3 idiots who are forced to learn things they don't like, living in fear and stress all day long, and being afraid to face their own feelings, we all have at least one of the same experiences, right? .
When I exchanged abroad, all the Chinese friends I met were all business students, accounting, commerce, business, etc., which was similar to the prevailing atmosphere of studying business in China. Every time I bring these friends home, my French roommate always asks what major they are majoring in, and then I wonder why you Chinese people like to study business? Most of my friends answered that because of the high grades in business, why not study if you can; or maybe I can't do anything about it, my parents helped me choose a major. So one day, my roommate asked me, is studying media your hobby? I thought about it, and said yes. She also said that when I said I wanted to study IT, although my mother did not agree with it, she felt that girls were not suitable for studying engineering, but she knew that I really liked things like computer programs! I like to study how elevators work and how engineering is designed, so she didn't stop me. How about you? Do you also love the media so much? I was a little speechless for a moment, as if I had been stabbed in a sore spot. Later, my roommate asked me again, many of your friends don't like business, but why do they still want to study it? In China, do parents help their children decide the future? Your friends, don't they have hobbies of their own?
In fact, compared to those children who are forced to report their hated professional children by their parents, I have been considered lucky. At least I don't hate my major, although I've never had the enthusiasm of my roommate.
So what am I passionate about? Where is my real hobby? Thinking of these questions, I was a little horrified to find that I didn't have a hobby either.
Many friends I met abroad hold working holiday visas, play and work all over the world, and when it's time to change countries to continue this kind of life. Some people say that their party and drinking days are too messy, but I envy this way of life. Because there are no such people in China, and young people in Europe and the United States are wandering around the world without a fixed place. So I also secretly thought that I should not look for a job in the future, I should not get married at a later date, and I should not survive without pain in this society with other people. I always felt that I should be different from most people. I also want to go to many distant places without worry, to see different scenery, and to live a variety of lives. Even if you just earn enough travel expenses by serving dishes in every place, it is not bad for you to stay like this for a lifetime.
But these are just mere thoughts. While watching this movie, that Fran's dad seemed to show me a shadow of my dad. My parents wanted to cultivate me to be their pride since I was a child, to get top grades and to be admitted to a famous university, and I did all of these successfully. The next step should be inescapable, a high-paying job, an excellent boyfriend, a happy family, a successful life-for them, they have successfully cultivated me. And then I also hope that I will be equally successful in raising my children to gain social recognition.
It is said that children are the continuation of their parents' lives, so from generation to generation, parents always hope that their children will realize their unfulfilled ideals. Everyone understands this truth. In fact, it sounds ugly. This is a vicious circle: which generation of children can To achieve your own life and ideals?
Going to a famous university, becoming famous, getting married and having children, this is the recognition of the society, and this is the sign of a happy life. But these few words always make me feel that I have seen the bottom of my life all of a sudden, and I am terrified for no reason.
But will my dad be disappointed if I do travel around the world serving dishes? What will he boast in front of his friends in the future?
It's a little frustrating to think about this.
I'm getting more and more sick of hearing inspiring stories of how others have achieved success. Even these days, when my mother started to tell me how excellent the children she knew who studied at HKU, I wanted to cover my ears irritably. But maybe I'm too narrow-minded, maybe many people really regard these things I despise as happiness. Everyone has their own aspirations, and I am not qualified to judge others casually. So just use the words this movie taught me: Your excellence has nothing to do with my life, what I want to live is my own life. It's a bit like "Little Miss Sunshine" that I saw a few years ago, a bit of self-deprecating praise, to go after what you want, and f**k the rest.
Because I am still young, I still have the capital to believe that I can do it one day - hoping for the best.
In fact, this is not a film review, and I am ashamed to write a film review. A little incoherent, but those who can understand what they want to express can understand.
I laughed at first, then cried, then laughed, then cried, and finally laughed. This is the two and a half hour movie that made me think about the infinite possibilities of life.
