Because of Hui Yinghong, I went to look for the "Imperfect Her" broadcast last year, which was a drama with her mother as the main line, and at that time, because Zhao Yazhi and Zhou Xun joined, it attracted people's attention.
Mother and maternal love have always been a very common theme in film and television dramas, this TV series called the Immortal Lineup, tells the story of Lin Xuzhi (Zhou Xun) who wants to find his biological mother who abandoned him, but in the process encounters a 7-year-old girl Mu Liansheng who is always full of scars, thus unfolding two stories about her mother.
The actors of the whole drama are online, but the plot is slightly less satisfactory.
What caused a lot of discussion was what happened between the 7-year-old girl Mu Liansheng and her mother Mu Jing.
In this drama, the mother's bright line is Mu Jing, which runs through the entire episode. Although not the heroine, basically everything is related to her.
In the play, there is no explanation for her parents, and there is no clear introduction to the relatives of Liansheng's father, only that Mu Jing and Liansheng's father are about to get married after falling in love, but Liansheng's father died of illness, and Mu Jing insisted on giving birth to Liansheng and doing her best to take the child.
However, at the beginning of being strong and unremitting, or defeated under the pressure of life, Mu Jing, as a woman, under the crushing pressure of life, hoped that a man could save herself.
So she met Shang Wu, who abused her own woman, with a dark psychology, a small bar business but playing games all day, and after being with Mu Jing, the bar was all run by Mu Jing.
But Mu Jing's life is still poor and depressed, she goes to work, cooks, and watches her daughter being abused, but she is silent.
A lot of barrages were scolding her: "No man will die?" "How can such a person be worthy of being a mother?!"
It wasn't that she didn't resist, she still whispered to Shangwu not to do this.
But Shang Wu, who was dark in his heart, looked directly at her sarcastically and hinted, "You can leave me with your child." ”
The fear of a hard life made her force herself to compromise, ignore the child's emotions, ignore the child's injury, and even after Shang Wu repeatedly hinted at hating Lian Sheng, she also collapsed to disgust with her own child.
We are all familiar with the saying: "Problems that can be solved with money are not problems." ”
But for Mu Jing, his predicament is related to money, but it is not just a matter of money. Her disregard and boredom with Liansheng is actually even more bored and helpless to herself.
She was powerless to fight her fate, powerless to change her life, powerless to take responsibility for her own choices, and these inability made her shrink and vent her hurt to the weaker than her—her own daughter, Liansheng.
So she no longer cared whether her daughter was injured, but when her daughter was coerced, she collapsed and tied up the 7-year-old child and locked it in the cupboard, so that the child almost died.
On the other hand, in stark contrast, the people around the heroine Lin Xuzhi do not seem to have the problems caused by poverty, such as the adoptive mother is an executive of a listed company, even if she is a single mother, she still has a good family.
As a computer master, Lin Xuzhi works freely, is not short of money, wants to become Liansheng's mother, and can prepare millions for escape.
Lin Yizhi's boyfriend is a rich second generation, not working and clamoring for naked marriage, and finally succumbing to pressure, Lin Yizhi, who has a son out of wedlock, is still not afraid to be a single mother without any financial pressure, just like his doctor friends, sisters lying down, bungee, luxury goods only have a share that cannot be looked at, and there is no want but can not get the share that can only be stolen.
As viewers, we follow the wave of people in the play who have no financial pressure, viciously condemning the poor cowardly mother, but no one pays attention to how Mu Jing should escape her poverty.
So some people asked, if Lin Yizhi is like Mu Jing, there is no fixed class to go to, there is no strong executive to do the current backing, is it collapsed in the lonely and helpless raising of children like Mu Jing?
After all, no one's life can take the executive mother as the standard, then, Mu Jing's cowardice, silent compromise, is it because poverty is the original sin?
This question may be more meaningful and thoughtful than the theme of mother conveyed in the play.
If reality puts a poor man in a situation like Mu Jing's, what is the right way out?
If capital is the savior of all problems, if poverty is really the original sin of all problems, then why are there so many well-clothed beasts?
In ancient times, emperors forced their children into power trades, and even in tragedy, the kings of parenthood continued to send protons and princesses to other countries one after another.
Today, those families who do not worry about eating and wearing or even living a good life, such as throwing the children under 10 years old alone because the children do not write homework, the family goes out to travel; there are mothers who do not hesitate to kill their children because they write wrong homework; and even mothers in order to let their children win at the starting line, regardless of the child's only 3 months, all kinds of follow-up training to let the children be suffocated...
In the face of interests, people's selfishness and greed are also stupid, so that parents without financial pressure are still like Mu Jing, making the choice to hurt their children.
Obviously, it's not a question of having money or not having money.
Therefore, all the abuse that Mu Jing let Mu Liansheng suffer was not a sentence of "poor" that could be perfectly thrown away by original sin.
In this world, some people blame their misfortune and hardship on a helpless life, and even hate that relying on their children as a burden; but others still find uncompromising in misfortune and hardship, and transform their children's dependence on themselves into the armor and motivation for their own struggle.
Zang Jianhe, once known as the "Queen of Dumplings", is the well-known founder of the world-renowned Wan Chai Pier food brand. The strong woman, who won the fourth "World Outstanding Women Entrepreneur", before starting a business, was abandoned by her husband because she had two daughters in a row, and she went to the street alone with two children.
In the hardships of life, she never looked forward to who would save her. Her philosophy of human life is: "There is a reward for giving, and it is shameful to get something for nothing." ”
Even in the midst of hardships and hardships, she was diagnosed with diabetes, and even by her employer, she still did not give in, but refused the social assistance fund, saying: "Freeze to death in the windward station, starve to death without bending down, eat relief will lose morale, children can not stand up straight!" ”
With her tenacity, she took her two daughters who were rejected by her husband's family step by step from street food to create their dumpling kingdom.
You see, poverty is really not the original sin that Mu Jing made Mu Liansheng suffer everything.
Even the adoptive mother of the executive in the play was abandoned because her husband hated not being able to give birth to a son, and even the family was saddled with millions of foreign debts, but she did not depressed, but used her own hard work to create a world for her daughters.
In the final analysis, the misfortunes of life do have the influence of objective factors, but these misfortunes are not the source of the brewing tragedy.
The root of the tragedy lies only in her cowardice, her irresponsibility, her avoidance, her selfishness.
This is also when Mu Jing heard Lian Sheng sweetly call out to other people's mothers, and finally had no face to face and wanted to be sentenced to death.
