I seldom watch serials. Every time I come back from get off work and turn on the TV, I basically listen to CGTN. Last weekend, I went back to my hometown because of my ID card. Although the journey was not far, it was really boring, so I downloaded "My First Half of My Life" beforehand. To get rid of the bumps along the way.
"The First Half of My Life", the story takes place in the magic capital, tells the story of the heroine of a full-time wife who was abandoned by her husband because she had been out of society for a long time, and then stepped out of the shadows and returned to society with the help of her friends. The whole play seems to be divided into two parts, one part of the heroine is divorced because of the mistress, and the latter part is involuntarily robbed of her best friend's boyfriend, almost becoming mistress. The heroine is a typical housewife. She goes shopping every day and dresses herself up. In her opinion, getting married should be like, "You are responsible for making money and supporting your family, and I am responsible for looking beautiful." Her husband has a successful career, his son is growing up happily, and it seems that the family is happy and content. When my husband told me that there was someone outside, I couldn't believe it was a fact, but no matter how the heroine tried to save it, it wouldn't help. On the other hand, the heroine's sister is a husband and wife. The sister works in the supermarket, but the brother-in-law is idle all day and has a tight life. The woman has filed for divorce many times, but in the end it was unsuccessful. It can be seen from this that when men tell you about divorce, they must have made a decision after some ideological struggle. After weighing the pros and cons, once the exit is made, no matter how much the woman cries, makes trouble, or begs, they will remain indifferent and will not achieve their goals. Don't give up. And women often clamor for divorce, more of which are threats, coquettishness and dissatisfaction, hoping that in exchange for men's attention and concern for themselves, most of them hope to be retained, and the matter of coaxing her is over. Men say divorce because they want to build a family with others; women say divorce because they want to save the family.
Let's talk about Lao Jin. Lao Jin should be the image of most men in China. Although he grew up in Shanghai, he obviously didn't keep up with the speed of Shanghai's development. , At the same time, the local people with strong self-esteem and face-saving. After seeing the heroine's circle of friends and hearing about the heroine's past living standards, a sense of inferiority arises naturally, especially after seeing Godfather He easily helping the heroine get the job of the planning department, the inferiority complex is even more extreme. What's even more irritating is that he is still struggling and has many people lobbying. When the heroine decides not to associate with him anymore, she also says that she will regret it in the future. In my opinion, the two of them are people from different worlds, and even if they are together, they will not last long. With Godfather He here, he is just a spare tire. Although he can cook, repair electrical appliances, and connect the water, Lao Jin's appearance is just used to better set off Godfather He. In fact, if you can't squeeze into other people's world, don't force it, Zuo tramples on yourself, and embarrassing others, why bother?
Finally, let's take a look at Godfather He and Tang Jing. The man is talented, has a career, has plans for the future, and can afford and let go of everything. He is a typical tall, rich and handsome, especially his guidance and teachings to the surrounding environment. It seems full of aura, and has a single-mindedness, waiting for the woman for ten years. The woman has a high degree of education and puts her career first and the others second. She has been running for a long time in love for ten years but has not given others a chance. The underlying reason may be that she is shrewd, capable, independent, and can make money by herself. Perhaps the life of women in this new era does not require men at all. In my opinion, Godfather He is just his spare tire. There are two reasons. First, when his predecessor came back from the investment bank, he immediately announced that he had broken up with his godfather. Second: I always wanted Adam's big order. A few minutes before Adam signed the contract with Godfather He, when she received the informative data, she seemed to have found a life-saving straw. adam. . . This kind of selfish woman is not worthy of Godfather He at all, but it is a pity that Godfather He still treats her as a treasure. Godfather He saved countless people in his life, but unfortunately he couldn't save himself. . . In other words, they don't love each other enough, they are just comrades-in-arms at work. . .
In my opinion, the biggest attraction of the whole drama is not how the heroine walks out of the shadow of life and re-enters society. But in this process, He Han, the godfather-level mentor, said various classic philosophies. Art comes from life, but it is higher than life. Let us in reality see us in real life through their lives. . . Maybe that's what the writer or director wants to tell us. . .
