Because I like Zhou Xun, I have been chasing the drama "Xiao Min Jia" recently, and I have just been stabbed by the latest plot.
Liu Xiaomin, played by Zhou Xun, and Chen Zhuo, played by Huang Lei, two divorced middle-aged men and women, have been in love for more than a year, understand each other, and are very happy together, but still decided to break up.
In the stoic and restrained farewell, there is nostalgia and helplessness, and there is more reason and calm after weighing reality.
Liu Xiaomin, chief nurse of the International Department of Peking University Hospital, has a rich inner world and high spiritual needs. There was a marriage many years ago, and when his son was 6 years old, he was regarded by her husband and those around her as engaging in extramarital affairs because she had a letter exchange with Teacher Su, who also loved poetry. After a farce that caused a sensation in the small town, Liu Xiaomin fled to Beijing alone, teacher Su never knew whether he was alive or dead, and the two never had any contact.
After many years, the strange son Jin Jiajun came to Beijing to defect and re-study at Tsinghua University. After owing huge debts and being chased by her ex-husband Jin Bo, he also followed, doing nothing all day, adding all kinds of troubles, and Liu Xiaomin's life was all disturbed.
The child's schooling is a big thing, in order not to affect the son's college entrance examination, Liu Xiaomin turned his love affair with Chen Zhuo underground and carried it on his back. Everything was done to disguise it, but it was eventually exposed, and the lives of all those involved suddenly changed.
Chen Zhuo's daughter Chen Jiajia went abroad, Jin Jiajun was dropped out of the re-study class, and Jin Bo returned to Jiujiang... In order to go all out to ensure that her son concentrated on reviewing, Liu Xiaomin proposed to Chen Zhuo to break up, saying that he could still be friends in the future. Chen Zhuo ridiculed that those who can be friends after the breakup are not true love, simply do not be friends.
Behind the decent words, and the grudging smile, is the inner pain and struggle. Middle-aged men and women, without the freedom to love, and then love each other with a sharp heart, but for the sake of the family and children, or willing to choose to separate.
When people reach middle age, they don't know when to start, and in your life list, you have quietly ranked yourself behind your parents and children. There are old and young, busy with life, complex and trivial reality, and a hundred claws scratching their hearts, all of which need to be cleaned up and done by themselves. Life must be faced, re-love and remarriage are luxuries, dispensable.
Reality is chaotic, where are so many years quiet?
There are many plots in the play, which are impressive. For example, on the first anniversary of their love, Chen Zhuo took Liu Xiaomin home from work, and wanted to celebrate well, but when he went downstairs, he accidentally met his grandmother and son who came without greeting. Liu Xiaomin falsely claimed that Chen Zhuo was a ride-hailing driver, and the celebration ceremony planned by the two failed.
The romance of middle-aged people can only be hard in the cracks, looking for some opportunities to complete. Chen Zhuo's thief was not dead, and before 12 o'clock in the night, he drove to Xiao Min's house again with the flowers and champagne prepared during the day. The two crouched in the trunk in the steep night wind and longed for a better future. When I was parting, the basket of flowers did not know where to put them.
In middle age, people become tolerant and compassionate because they understand the difficulty of life. For the rare heartwarming love, cautious to cautious, not willing to mention any high standards of demand. For lovers who rarely understand each other, they are no longer demanding perfection, and they are even more reluctant to recklessly consider the details.
Life has made people worry enough, middle-aged people fall in love, no longer expect to enter the happy ending of marriage. Openness and honesty are not important, it is not important to be dead-hearted, and it is beautiful to get a moment of escape and relief from the bad heart of reality.
Middle-aged love, all stoic and restrained, is less intense and impulsive than when they were young. Fall in love, talk politely; break up, and share a decent and friendly relationship. Negotiate, be a partner in life; talk about it, turn around and become a passerby, go your own way, as if you have never met it before.
Sometimes I think that Liu Xiaomin and Chen Zhuo are even worse than Teacher Su, who read poetry together. And Chen Zhuo can say that the points are divided, and I believe that they can also be forgotten quickly. But Teacher Su, who is in good spirits, must be a man that Xiao Min can't forget in this life. In the exchange of those poems, there was the real emotional throbbing of Liu Xiaomin when she was young.
Not because of Teacher Su," but because of the heart that Liu Xiaomin had when she was young.
When you are young, you really have love, and when you are middle-aged, you just match each other, so you can carry it out warmly. Patience and restraint, in fact, is not all helpless, and after experiencing vicissitudes, the inner waves have not been alarmed since then.
Middle-aged men and women, accustomed to weighing the pros and cons, accustomed to taking into account the eyes and feelings of the outside world, it is difficult to completely hand over the heart. Across the belly, only love is talked about, not love. Talk about it or not, in fact, it is like that.
