When "Thirty Only" was popular before, Wang Manni was called "Fishing Girl" because she wanted to marry a rich person, which also caused a discussion about "Fishing Girl".
In fact, "fishing for women" is not a "specialty" of our country. As early as the twentieth century, Dreiser had already portrayed a famous "fishing girl" image of Carrie in his famous work "Carrie Sister".
As a low-educated girl who worked hard from the countryside to the big city of Chicago, she successfully counterattacked with her excellent appearance and beautiful singing voice, and became the object of emulation by countless "fishing women" in the future.
Wanting to flow from the bottom into high society is the lifelong wish of every poor man and woman, and Carrie's sister's counterattack path is not insurmountable, but her success is not only attributed to men.
(1) The first man helped her in terms of resources
My attitude toward fishing women is: not to criticize and not to encourage. Because the development of society to a certain period of time will inevitably face the dilemma of relative class solidification, it is difficult for the people at the bottom to rise through simple efforts. But there is nothing wrong with a person's ideal of living a good life, so the upper position of starting from the relationship between the sexes is just to take what they need.
On the train to Chicago, Carrie's sister meets Duroé, a salesman who works in a big city.
This man is a complete prodigal son, he has no intention of getting married and having children, he just wants to fall in love with women. In the moment he met Carrie's sister, he was attracted by her amazing beauty, which laid the groundwork for the two of them to be together later.
When Carrie's sister first arrived in Chicago, her capital was only young and beautiful. As we all know, if you want to get a good job in a big city, education and background are fundamental.
So she can only enter the factory, work as a waiter, a promoter. But such a life was not what she wanted, and she longed to live a life of high society luxury.
So, she used men to achieve her ideals. Duloé is a very capable salesman, he bought a lot of beautiful clothes for Carrie's sister, took her to a very emotional restaurant for dinner, and thus seduced Carrie's sister to live with her.
Sister Carrie and Duloé have an illusion of living a high society together, so she is with him with the original intention of marrying him, but later she finds that her beauty can only stir the other person's lust, can not change his prodigal heart, the other party does not want to marry her.
So she was in pain. However, Gary's sister not only gained a moment of material enjoyment through Duroé, she also got the opportunity to meet people in the upper middle class.
For a fishing woman, such resources are the most valuable compared to clothes and food.
Carrie's sister was born at the bottom, and the men she bumped into were nothing more than factory men, waiters, etc. A well-paid salesman was already the limit of the "quality men" she could meet.
So, the equity hotel manager Hessworth, who sold Duloé to take her to know, was the most valuable thing she got in the relationship.
(2) The second man, Hessworth, made her change from "fishing for women" to "actors"
Hesworth is a middle-aged man with a wife and children. He and his wife are married because of love, but after marriage, his wife is single-mindedly taking care of the housework, he is focused on work, the distance between the two is getting farther and farther, and finally the end of the world. At the first sight of Carrie's sister he was fascinated by her, and for the sake of this girl, he could give up everything about himself.
So in the gap between Duloé's work out, he revealed his heart to Carrie's sister. For a girl who is not deeply involved in the world, her love for men is nothing more than a love of vanity.
Hessworth is a hotel manager, and in terms of social status, appearance, personality, and aesthetics, he is more admired by low-level girls than a salesman.
In addition, at this time, Carrie's sister had already seen that the salesman did not want to marry herself, so she resolutely threw herself into the arms of Hessworth, and then was tricked by Hessworth into the United States.
Regarding Carrie's sister being deceived, this is a setback that she must experience on her way to growing up. In order to get Carrie's sister, Hessworth deceives Carrie's sister that she will marry her. She knew his background, and she couldn't recognize his confused lies.
So I was deceived.
While Carrie's sister is still fantasizing about marrying Hessworth and living a high-society life, the other party is already planning to abandon his wife and son and elope with her.
By the time Carrie's sister knew she had been deceived, it was too late. At this time, Hessworth was no longer the man who had money and power and a career, because all his money was with his wife, and he was "clean out of the house" when he eloped.
In fact, for Carrie's sister, she was tricked into going to the United States and she was blessed.
For a person born at the bottom, the group of people who are most likely to cross the class by their own efforts is called "genius". If you are gifted in learning, you can counterattack through education, and if you have a good vision in entrepreneurship, you can counterattack by doing business.
Although Carrie's sister is not highly educated, she later stumbles upon herself to be very talented in singing, which became a turning point in her destiny and a turning point in her career as a "fishing girl".
After Hessworth and she arrived in the United States, Hessworth applied for a lot of hotels, but due to the increasingly bleak market in the industry, he never found a job. He and Carrie's sister complained to each other during the days of sitting on the mountain.
Until even life becomes a problem.
At this time, Carrie's sister decided to leave Hessworth. Because the theater needed people, she went to Broadway to do temporary work, and it was this mistake that made her talent discovered.
(3) Men can only borrow power, not rely on
As an actress, Carrie's sister earned more and more, and soon appeared in mainstream authoritative magazines, becoming a hot star for a while.
At this time, she finally got rid of the bottom, got rid of poverty and vulgarity, had a lot of beautiful clothes, and could enter a lot of high-end restaurants to eat.
Sister Carrie can be regarded as a famous "fishing girl", and her history of ascension to the throne is also traceable and can be copied. It's just that not everyone can copy her path, only a few with capital can. Some people say that the second man did not help Carrie's sister's ascension. In fact, the second man is a great help to her, the other party took her to see a broader world, so that her talent can be used.
This is an invisible resource.
To take a simple example, at the end of the last century, business opportunities were generally concentrated in coastal areas, and many people who began to go to the sea to do business at that time are now rich, and those who did not find this business opportunity are still extremely poor, which is a kind of welfare after "seeing the world".
From here, we can also see why the rich love to engage in circle culture, this circle is not rich or expensive people can not enter, but the people at the bottom of the circle to do everything they can to enter that circle.
Because after entering, the resources will increase exponentially. Sister Carrie allowed herself to make a class leap through two men. Her intention was to marry an upper-class man as a way to achieve a class leap, but both men lied to her.
The salesman just wanted to have a dewy affair with her and was reluctant to marry her, which ruined her ideals. The hotel manager, Hessworth, in order to satisfy her own selfish desires, put her into abject poverty, which is the risk of being a "fishing girl".
If you are not careful, you will be like Jiali's sister.
The ultimate channel that will allow her to successfully achieve her ideals is her own talent. It can be seen from this that the clever "fishing women" will never rely on men to achieve their goals, but borrow men's strength to achieve their own achievements, so that they can be invincible.
Many times, the successful realization of the "fishing women" from the bottom of society to cross the class is not achieved by a handful, but through a multi-step ladder.
Carrie's sister is herself achieved by first being with the salesman, obtaining resources, and then obtaining resources through the hotel manager Hesswo.
Her successful experience is summed up as:
Take your own strength as the core of the climb, and then borrow power from men with your beauty, thus realizing your ideals.
If you have the same conditions, it is not difficult to succeed.
