One
Suddenly, I felt that in terms of humor and playfulness, "David Copperfield" is a kind and sharp-eyed, domineering and spiritual "rich woman" who saves others and reaches herself.
This rich woman was Aunt Betsy. Because he was unhappy with the marriage, he dissolved the marriage contract by giving the man some money, and then bought a cottage and a field by the sea and went into seclusion.
So Aunt Betsy hated "any man."
The first person she "saved" was, of course, David. The little "little hurdle" in David's life is to have a stepfather who has a moral appearance. Therefore, in the days before the age of ten, about four or five years old, he was first sent to boarding school to be humiliated and punished, and then sent to a liquor store with ragged clothes and clothing as child labor.
But since she ran to Aunt Betsy, there has been a good school, a good place to live, a good job, and a love. Of course, the process is inevitably a bit bumpy.
The second person she saved was Dick. This is a distant relative whose family believes to be mentally ill and wants to be sent to a mental hospital. And in her eyes, this child is the one with the most ideas.
How did he come up with the idea?
Faced with David, whose feet were swollen, muddy and unclothed, and his aunt asked him what to do with him, Dick said: I think he should take a bath first!
When David's stepfather came to him by letter, gave David all kinds of inferior shortcomings and said that he would take him away without the intervention of others, his aunt asked him what to do, and Dick said: Immediately measure him and make a new dress.
This is not really an idea, this is his innocence and love.
And my aunt always praised him: really insightful, awesome idea!

David Copperfield's 1999 film is divided into two parts. What moved me the most was the clip below.
At the end of the first part, Copperfield ends his studies and grows up. With the financial support of his aunt, in the strange and attractive big city of London, he rented an apartment overlooking the River Thames, found an errand with a law firm recorder, and began his new self-reliance. And he also met love, although the result of this love is a little superficial and hasty.
This should be the new life that every young person looks forward to. I'm happy for him, young and hopeful.
Movie Clip: Start Work First Encounter with Dora
In the second part of the story, I was touched by the love and generosity of the working people at the bottom.
Baggins, who always teased that the only thing he had was a pile of "old clothes" in a box on his hospital bed. And in fact, the doctor's order is like this: three thousand pounds in the box, 1,000 pounds to Peggetti...
Daniel, who is desperate to find the orphan Emily he raised, knows that children are not easy. He said: If anything goes wrong, remember that the last words I have left for my dearest child are love and forgiveness...
Ham, who knew that trapped in the storm of the sea was the bastard who had kidnapped his beloved girl, he still tried to save him. He said: I can't watch others drown...
Can they really do it?
Can anyone really do it?
Can you do it?

Finish your studies and visit old friends
My time at Doctor Strong went by very quickly. Soon I will graduate and face a new future.
The only problem is that I don't know what I want to do.
"Now you're no longer a student. You need to take a break to clear your mind. Why don't you visit a family with a strange surname? Aunt Betsey advised.
"You mean the Peggottys?" I exclaimed, "Of course I'd love to visit them!"
"You can stay in London for one night by the way," continued Aunt Betsy, "and see the scenery of London." ”
So a few days later, I was sitting in a carriage bound for London.

Choose a career and rent an apartment
I eventually returned to Dover to discuss my future with Aunt Betsy. In the end, we decided that I should become a lawyer.
"I've arranged to visit a law firm in London called Spenlow and Jorkins," Aunt Betsy said one day. ”
I was very excited about the results, and Mr. Spinroe agreed to receive me.
"But there is a condition," he explained happily, "that you need to pay £1,000 first, which is what we pay for you to train." ”
My heart sank. £1000! That's a lot of money.
"Agreed." Aunt Betsy replied.
I turned to look at her in surprise. "I can't make you pay for it!" I insisted, "Absolutely not! ”
"Gibberish!" She replied. "I can spend my money as much as I want."
That day my aunt rented me a comfortable house overlooking the River Thames from the window.
I can't believe I have such good luck! I am deeply grateful for Aunt Betsy's kindness and generosity!
My life in London began beautifully.

Two bad news for Agnes
It was in this joyous and relaxed life that I was greeted by an uninvited guest, my good friend, Agnes Wickfield. I could tell immediately from her face that something worse was bothering her.
"I'm very worried about a friend of yours." She told me.
I looked sad. "Who do you mean?"
"Steerforth."
"What happened to him?"
"I would say that I know other people are nice and attractive, but he is also very rich, and he has always wanted everything..."
"I don't want to listen to this!" I protested, "He's my longest friend!" ”
I could see that I had a strong reaction, so she quickly put down the topic and continued to talk about it.
"I also need to talk to you about Uriah Heep. I felt very frightened that he had some control over my father and used it to hurt him. I'm sure he wants to be a partner in his father's firm. ”
"He's a pest!" I cried out angrily, remembering that he had insisted that he was too humble to be a partner of Mr. Mister. "You have to stop this from happening."
"I can't do it." Her face flushed, "He knew that my father was getting older and no longer so delicate, and he set a trap to frame him." ”

Fall in love, private life
But what happened next made me completely put the matter of Agnes and Uriah aside—at least for a while.
I fell in love with Mr. Spinroe's daughter, Dora.
For me, Dora is the most beautiful creature in the world. I crossed the City of London, from north to south, to see the lights in her window at night. I stood for hours just waiting for a casual glance at me as she went out to walk her dog every day. I can imagine that there is nothing more pleasurable than sitting in a room with her and listening to her voice.
Can you imagine my almost crazy happiness when I learned that Dora loved me too?! It's a miracle. The two of us quietly made a lifelong commitment.
Mr. Sparrow has always liked me. He would have been more than happy that her only daughter could marry me, as long as I had the money.
But something terrible happened. My poor Aunt Betsy lost all her money and went bankrupt.
