North drift, Shanghai drift, deep drift, even if it is already 2022, this topic has always been hot. After all, there are many opportunities in big cities, and young people who have the idea of working hard may have longed for these places. But how many people bravely go out and successfully go out? How many people are discouraged and can only nip the germ of ideas? How many people have to leave after several twists and turns?
There are many film and television works about Shanghai Drift, some of which make people full of blood and yearning, and some of which make people feel sad and empathetic. "Heart Residence" revolves around the family life of the daughter-in-law Feng Xiaoqin (HaiQing), mainly based on the sister-in-law relationship with the eldest aunt Gu Qingyu (nursery rhyme), and gradually tells Feng Xiaoqin's embarrassment and heartache. In the tense and fast rhythm that cannot stay, in the life of a place of chicken feathers and smoke, Feng Xiaoqin from a foreign country is not willing to accept the status quo and tries everything to get better.
The just-concluded "Human World" shows the course of an era and the story of several generations. Although it is also a theme of life and the same home-oriented, "Heart Residence" shows the young people in Shanghai in the context of this era.
Feng Xiaoqin married a man who only promised and did not want to make progress, in order to be able to stay in Shanghai and take root in Shanghai. 8 years of no career, life is to take care of the husband and the husband's family, not only to worry about the body of the elderly, but also to grasp the child's learning, but also to keep an eye on the husband's exams. But even though she rotated like this every day and worked hard for her family, she never got the considerate care of her family, in exchange for only suspicion and defense. It is not so much that she is the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, but rather that she is a servant of the Gu family, and even if she pays more sacrifices, she still cannot integrate into this family, let alone shanghai.
Although the Gu family is in the same house for four generations, they can't see a little warmth of home, perhaps it is said that Feng Xiaoqin and the Gu family are not like a family at all. Weekly family gatherings, the entire family of more than a dozen people are absent, many people may envy such a family, often have a party to contact family feelings.
But for Feng Xiaoqin, perhaps every family gathering is an ordeal, and the time from the beginning to the end of the day has passed.
But the Gu family has no one to help, they only care about chatting and comparing, the son of the uncle's family got married and bought tens of millions of houses, and the aunt's family went abroad to sell large houses for small houses for their sons.
However, for the down payment of hundreds of thousands of dollars, he tried all kinds of ways to borrow money, but he was not understood, let alone the support of his husband.
In a large family, the only one who can give Feng Xiaoqin a little bit of dependence and comfort is her husband who sleeps with her every day, but when her husband has an accident, her situation is even more difficult. While sorting out his son's clothes, when the son asked if his mother would be kicked away? Feng Xiaoqin was stunned for a moment and replied no. But in fact, she has no bottom in her heart, as an outsider, she knows what kind of position she has in the Gu family, so she is still worried about being driven away.
But in fact, what she didn't know was that for so many years, she had been taking care of her consistently, in fact, the Gu family had long been inseparable from her, and the old people of the Gu family were also afraid that she would leave. In fact, after her husband's death, Feng Xiaoqin's relationship with the Gu family has undergone subtle changes. This can be seen in her reluctance when she asks her son to tell Grandpa that his pants have been put on a stool by himself instead of saying it himself, and when she cleans up and washes Grandma's clothes.
Before this, Feng Xiaoqin took care of the Gu family as a matter of course, but when there was no husband's relationship, they both felt embarrassed. From here, it is directly indicated that in fact, from beginning to end, the Gu family did not regard Feng Xiaoqin as a family member.
No matter how much you pay, you will not be considerate and cared for, in fact, such a situation that happens to others may have left a long time ago, not to mention that there is no husband now. But it's different for Feng Xiaoqin, because she has her own goal of having a home in Shanghai and then taking her brother and mother over to live in. She is well aware of Hu Piao's heartache and difficulty, if she chooses to leave the Gu family, she may only wait for her where to go back, this is the reality.
As an international metropolis, Shanghai is full of too many temptations, and even many talents who have graduated from colleges and universities want to stay here. Feng Xiaoqin is just one of the many Shanghai drifters, and now that the only husband in the family who can barely make ends meet is gone, what does she rely on to stay in? She can only rely on herself, and then it is time for the whole drama to enter the main line, and see how Feng Xiaoqin should work hard in the city.
