In that turbulent era, although the fate of the three sons and daughters of the Zhou family was tortuous, these three people represented the three most typical kinds of people in that era.
Zhou Bingyi's government cadres, Zhou Rong's intellectuals who pursue freedom and love, and small people like Zhou Bingkun. From their unfolding stories, we can see many "proverbs" that never go out of style.
Marriage emphasizes the right door, not "superstition"
In today's civilized era, many concepts of marriage are slowly considered feudal, and the requirement to be a door to the door is also despised. But in fact, the door is of positive significance to the business process of marriage.
From Zhou Bingyi's marriage, it can be seen that the door-to-door pair has a certain practical significance.
Zhou Bingyi is a working family, while Hao Dongmei is the son of a high-ranking cadre. Moreover, during the Cultural Revolution, Zhou Bingyi did not abandon Hao Dongmei, and strictly speaking, the Zhou family was kind to Hao Dongmei. But when Hao's father was reinstated, they became a family of cadres on a high pedestal. Just because of Cai Xiaoguang's incident, he was beaten to death by a pole. From then on, to Zhou Bingyi's family, he did not mention or ask. It is a kind of disapproval of the meaning of this family, and in the end, although the lower body is soft, it is also for the daughter, and it is still very disgusting psychologically.
In fact, it is not a dislike, but I am afraid that such a city will bring trouble to themselves.
Ten thousand steps back, even if the Hao family does not dislike this family, but the class gap between the two is too large, even if they are barely together, both sides are uncomfortable. And this embarrassing state will only have a lot of unnecessary contradictions for the two people in the marriage, fortunately, Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei are rational enough to not have a greater impact on their lives.
"Useless" children are generally the most filial
Speaking of the Zhou family, from the perspective of appearance, Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong are far stronger than Zhou Bingkun, but it is obvious that the Parents of the Zhou Family are still the younger sons in the end. The parents of the Zhou family are actually very lucky people, and there are eldest sons and eldest daughters who are famous and have a light on their faces. There are old knots serving left and right, knowing the cold and knowing the heat, so that their old age life is worry-free.
In a practical sense, Zhou Bingkun is the real reliance of the Zhou family's parents, and it is the confidence in their hearts. Especially for Zhou Mother, because her daughter had a stroke, she needed someone to take care of her for a long time, so for so many years, Zhou Mother relied on Zhou Bingkun and his wife to take care of her careful care, so that she could have no worries in her old age. Without Zhou Bingkun, Zhou's mother's life would have been very painful.
For Zhou Bingyi, he has a high social status, and if Feng Huacheng is taken, he has already raised the hearts of his parents, and the matter of "raising the body" needs to be handed over to his brother. The willingness of the younger brother and his wife made Zhou Bingyi lighten a great burden in his heart. And Zhou Bingkun believes that he did not give his parents a long face, so he can only reflect his own value in this way. In many families, many people think this way, and the most filial child is often the most useless one.
The pursuit of love is extremely selfish
This point is vividly expressed in Zhou Rong, and her pursuit of love is quite determined. Can not have parents, no family, no life, no future, she gave up all the love that pursues herself.
After her parents decided to leave her at home, without suffering from going to the countryside, she ran to the depths of the mountains in Guizhou in order to pursue love, regardless of her parents' arrangements, and let her parents worry; the father worked tirelessly to see her daughter in the mountains, and before she could say a few words, the daughter said that she could sever ties with the family; on the way home, Feng Huacheng had an accident, she put her daughter in her brother's house, and did not take her back until her daughter reached adulthood...
There are three emotions in the world, love, family affection, and friendship, but throughout the ages, how many people have to die and live because of love, elopement, martyrdom, and so on.
Carefully pondering the drama of "The World of Man", there are many humanities and truths mixed in, far more than these three, of course, the complexity of human nature is by no means covered by a book.
