Go abroad to work hard for ten years, it is better to buy a house and lie flat in Shanghai. When the price of houses in first-tier cities soared to the sky, people's hard work seemed to lose their meaning, and they could not exchange for a suite in Shanghai for many years. What a blow and irony this magical reality is to man! "Heart Residence" revolves around the house, interpreting the joys and sorrows of the world, and the house is like a magic mirror, reflecting the different human nature and fate of the people in the play.
In the original work of "Heart Residence", Shi Yuan told Gu Qingyu a sad story, the story of his uncle and aunt.
After Shi Yuan's grandmother died, the Shi family was completely devastated. Not only Shi Yuan's parents who were in Inner Mongolia, Shi Yuan's uncles and aunts in Shanghai also did not live well, living in a small pavilion, living a hard life. So, they went to South Africa to work and earn money, living a hard and fearful life every day.
In 2009, Shi Yuan's uncle and aunt returned to China. Abroad, they earned more than three million. According to their thoughts before they returned, they thought that these more than three million could not only buy a good house in Shanghai, but also enough for them to retire. But when I returned to Shanghai, I found that this was not the case at all. Putuo District bought a two-bedroom and one-room apartment, and it cost two million. There are more than a million left, eating and drinking seems to be enough, but when it comes to the pension, put in Shanghai, I really dare not think. Moreover, the son is almost to the age of marriage, and some places are used for money.
Uncle Shi Yuan regretted it to death. Knowing this, it is better not to go abroad, to borrow money to buy a house, and to take all your savings to pay the down payment, not to mention three million, that is, six million.
Uncle Shi Yuan was grumble and depressed about this, and in those years of suffering in South Africa, his health was getting worse and worse. Liver cancer was diagnosed two years later and died soon after.
The story of Shi Yuan's uncle and aunt, in a metropolis like Beijing and Shanghai, has actually been played out in different ways and versions.
Li Annie, Gu Qingyu's good girlfriend in "Heart Residence", is a pure tool person in the play, mainly acting as gu Qingyu's object of conversation, and playing a side account for some plot details. But in the original book, there is a lot of space to tell the story of Li Anne.
Anne Lee's first divorce was also related to the house. She and her husband Ding Qidong are college classmates and lovers, and everyone envies the golden child and jade girl. After graduation, the two were full of ideals and expectations and began a married life. But later, when it was time to buy a house, they hesitated and did not start, and as a result, the house price soared and they could not afford it. Regret coupled with various unhappiness in their careers, pursuits, and so on, makes their married life a chicken feather. Later, after another quarrel, Li Anne, who was pregnant, went to the hospital to have a miscarriage in one breath, which made their marriage come to an end.
The house makes people happy and worried, brings us happiness and stability, and is also easy to cause contradictions and quarrels.
For the Chinese people, the importance of the house is self-evident. A house in a first-tier big city is almost the goal of ordinary outsiders for half a life or even a lifetime. "Heart Residence" revolves around the theme of the house, deriving many stories of clutching sorrow and joy.
First, because she wanted to own a house too much, Feng Xiaoqin lost her husband. Also because of a mansion, Feng Xiaoqin almost married Xiaoding, who did not love.
At the beginning of "Heart Residence", Feng Xiaoqin's heart is to buy a house, a house that really belongs to herself. To this end, Feng Xiaoqin asked her husband Gu Lei to borrow money from her sister, Gu Qingyu did not borrow, and Feng Xiaoqin asked her father-in-law for it. Her father-in-law Gu Shihong gave her half a million, and she went to Gu Qingyu to borrow it, and also pulled Zhan Xiang as a drummer. As a result, Qingyu still did not borrow, but Zhan Xiang took the initiative to lend Xiaoqin a million in order to show himself in front of Qingyu.
However, because Qingyu privately instructed his brother that the name of the house must be signed by Feng Xiaoqin and his two names, to prevent Feng Xiaoqin from changing his mind in the future, Gu Lei's wealth was empty. As a result, Feng Xiaoqin heard it, Xiaoqin was angry, and ran away in the middle of the night, Gu Lei went to pull her, and was pushed by Xiaoqin, Gu Lei rolled downstairs without standing steadily, and fell to his death on a piece of glass.
Feng Xiaoqin lost her husband in this way. Of course, the house was not bought.
In fact, Feng Xiaoqin wants to have her own house, which is understandable, because having her own house can be regarded as really taking root in this city. With a sense of security.
However, Xiaoqin borrowed money to buy a house everywhere under the premise that she only had tens of thousands of yuan and her husband did not support buying a house, which was not advisable.
After Gu Lei's death, Xiaoqin must have also reflected on her previous mistakes and was determined to make money on her own, so she encouraged Zhan Xiang to invest in a nursing home, become a manager herself, and think of buying a house by her own ability.
Originally, Xiaoding was the object that Gu Xin introduced to Feng Xixi, but Feng Xixi did not look at him, but Xiaoding fell in love with her sister Feng Xiaoqin. Feng Xiaoqin really did not like Xiaoding, and when she was ready to break up, she found that Xiaoding was actually an invisible rich second generation, and her family had a mansion with a swimming pool, and she was almost moved. In the end, though, she refused.
The reason for the refusal is that she does not want to grievance herself for the sake of the house, and the second is that she actually has the target object of pursuit in her heart - the rich and good boss Zhan Xiang.
In order to buy a second house for fake marriage, Gu Qingyu reunited with Shi Yuan, the "first love white moonlight", the house arrived, but the two were really divorced.
In order to buy a house, Gu Qingyu accepted the advice of the real estate agent, and the agent helped to find someone, handle the fake marriage, and get the qualification to buy a second apartment. As a result, the person introduced by the intermediary was the same Shi Yuan that Gu Qingyu had been thinking about for twenty years. The two awkwardly reunite, repeat the fate of their youth, and change the fake marriage into a real flash marriage.
However, in the face of Gu Qingyu, who had a successful career and could afford to buy two houses, Shi Yuan felt depressed and inferior. Gu Qingyu's success reflects his failure and desolation.
The Shi Yuan family also lost on the house.
When Shi Yuan was 16 years old and could return to Shanghai, he could not return to Shanghai only because his uncle and aunt would not accept him. His uncle and aunt were indeed selfish and ruthless, but also because the actual conditions were really bad. If they had a big house in Shanghai, it is estimated that they would not refuse the request of the eldest brother's family and would not ruin the future of their nephew.
Later, Shi Yuan failed the college entrance examination, went to a tourist secondary school, became a tour guide, and his parents also retired back to Shanghai. Shi Yuan made a lot of money as a tour guide at that time, plus his parents' savings, saving enough money to go abroad, and her parents always hoped that he could go abroad, because their family had relatives in the United States, Canada, and Australia who could take care of him. However, at that time, the stock market was crazy, and Shi Yuan consulted with his parents, took the money used to go abroad to speculate in stocks, and borrowed 1.2 million yuan from the financial company, all of which was invested in the stock market. His parents have been down for half a lifetime, and they also hope that their son can borrow the stock market to flip, and then he will have the money to go abroad and buy a house. Who expected the stock market to change, all lost money.
At this time, the stock market collapsed, but house prices jumped upwards. Shi Yuan could not go abroad, nor could he afford to buy a house. The family fell into the abyss of bitter remorse.
When Shi Yuan was still in high school, Zhan Xiang, who did not like to study, had already dropped out of school. At the age of 17, he took out a loan to buy his first two-bedroom apartment, and then began a career of flipping houses, borrowing chickens and eggs to rent loans, and soon became one of the rich people who owned more than a dozen properties.
Two men who like Gu Qingyu look down on each other and are not convinced. Shi Yuan feels that Zhan Xiang has become a small upstart by luck, and Zhan Xiang also feels that Shi Yuan has no money and no ability, only because of a good birth and good looks, he is so pleasing to the goddess.
In fact, Zhan Xiang did eat the dividend of soaring house prices, but this dividend did not come from the sky, but was earned by his own bold and careful personality.
Those who have no vision choose the stock market, and those who have vision choose the housing market. Choice is destiny. And what kind of choices can be made is related to the personality of the individual, so it can also be said that the character is destiny.
Three Gu Shihai and Gu Shilian brothers and sisters, because of a house caused by a grudge.
Also as a child of Zhiqing, also returning to Shanghai at the age of 16, Shi Yuan was rejected by his uncle and aunt, while Gu Xin received selfless help from his aunt Gu Shilian.
Gu Shilian transferred a two-bedroom apartment in his name to his nephew Gu Xin, so that Gu Xin could attend high school in Shanghai and take the college entrance examination. Let the eldest brother Gu Shihai and the eldest sister-in-law Su Wangdi retire and return to Shanghai, and also have a foothold.
But Gu Shilian's selflessness was exchanged for the indifference and ruthlessness of the eldest brother and nephew, and the appearance and pride of the eldest sister-in-law.
Gu Shilian suffered from cancer twice, and all the family's savings were spent, but the eldest brother did not say anything. Gu Shilian's daughter Duoduo wanted to study abroad, there was no money, had to sell the house, replaced a small set, and used the replacement price difference for her daughter to study abroad, and the eldest brother Gu Shihai still did not have any expression.
Because of Gu Shihai's indifference and gratitude to his sick sister, he knew how the rest of the Gu family looked at him, the second brother Gu Shihong was dissatisfied with him, his brother-in-law Gao Chang looked at him unfavorably, and his niece Gu Qingyu looked down on him even more, and he felt ashamed in his heart, but he was poor and stingy all his life, even if his life was better, he was reluctant to give a penny for his sister.
Because of the pressure in his heart and the loss of face, Gu Shihai not only did not appreciate his sister, but hated his sister's sending of the house to embarrass him and was looked down upon. When the two brothers and sisters met, they could not say a few words, and the relationship was cold.
Sister Gu Shilian was even more aggrieved in her heart. He sent the house himself, did not expect to earn his brother's gratitude, nor did he expect him to return anything, but people have bad luck, they are sick, the eldest brother is so indifferent, the sister-in-law also shows off all day that the nephew has the ability and found a good daughter-in-law to buy a mansion, think about the heart is not a taste.
Therefore, Gu Shilian was replacing the house, the cash turnover went wrong, and when he was in urgent need of 300,000, he would rather find his mother to borrow it, find the second brother Gu Shihong to borrow, and never open his mouth to borrow a point from the eldest brother. In the play, Gao Chang couldn't watch it, and deliberately went to Gu Shihai to borrow 300,000 yuan, and as a result, Gu Shihai only said that he would go home to consider it, and when he went home, he pulled the passbook and did not expire, so he replied to his brother-in-law "I'm sorry.". In the end, Qingyu lent his aunt 300,000 yuan and ridiculed the great uncle in the group.
A house shows the indifference and selfishness in the nature of Gu Shihai's father and son.
In order to take root in Shanghai as soon as possible and own her own house in Shanghai, Feng Xixi did not hesitate to take risks.
If Feng Xiaoqin is shrewd and calculating, she has also made many mistakes, but she at least has a bottom line.
Compared with her sister, her sister Feng Xixi is further, although her ability is not large, but her ambition is greater, not only wants to have a good job in Shanghai, a good income, but also wants to have her own house in Shanghai as soon as possible, find a formal job, a good-looking family and worthy of her own Shanghai native as a husband.
In order to realize her wishes, Feng Xixi took the initiative to be Gu Xin's third child, and even set up a bureau with Ge Yue's uncle to pull Gu Xin out of the water, causing Gu Xin to go to prison.
In return, Ge Yue's uncle not only gave her a high kickback, but also gave her a house for half sale and half sale. Feng Xixi was smug and proud, thinking that she had finally realized her house dream and Shanghai dream early by relying on her own unscrupulous means, but she did not think that what she gained by relying on crooked doors and evil ways was always easier to lose.
In the end, Gu Xin was imprisoned, and Feng Xixi's house was also taken back, and her job was lost, and she had to sneak back to her hometown with the simple backpack she came from.
For the sake of the house, some people have lost themselves, some people have lost their families, some people have turned their backs on family affection, and some people have regretted their lives. Others even gave their lives for it.
In the original work, Shi Yuan's mother committed suicide by cutting her wrists. Before committing suicide, she insisted on buying a house, saying that she would have to go crazy if she stayed in this broken house. She took out 300,000 yuan herself, and forced Shi Yuan's father to write a letter to relatives abroad to borrow money. Shi Yuan's father did not want to, so she had a big fight with her husband. Later the house was really bought, two bedrooms and two living rooms. Shi Yuan's mother cut her wrist again, but fortunately she was rescued.
After being rescued, Shi Yuan's mother told her son that she had figured it out, it was life and our family that made a big joke, how to live is a lifetime, as long as you live.
This is actually more like self-consolation and hypnosis.
But a month later, Shi Yuan's mother still committed suicide. And this time it was very decisive. At two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, she locked the toilet door, changed into a new razor, took sleeping pills, turned on the faucet, and dipped her arms in the washbasin. When Shi Yuan knocked on the door in the morning, his mother leaned against the wall, and the blood dried up.
Such a tragic scene, Shi Yuan saw how painful and desperate it must be! A lifetime of psychological shadows. Therefore, Shi Yuan is really the saddest and most pitiful man in "Heart Residence".
The reason why Shi Yuan's mother decided to commit suicide was because after Shi Yuan's uncle died, the will left a villa for Shi Yuan's father, worth more than five million Canadian dollars, equivalent to more than 25 million yuan. Uncle Shi Yuan has hundreds of cosmeceutical chain stores in Canada.
Some people may have questions when they see this: Isn't it a good thing that Uncle Shi Yuan gave them a villa, the family has money, they should be happy, why do they want to commit suicide?
I think that Shi Yuan's mother was born noble and proud all her life, but she was teased by life again and again, and her only beloved son fell into the quagmire of life and could not extricate herself, and she was already desperate for life. The family worked hard all their lives, but they couldn't afford a decent house in Shanghai. In order to survive, in order to pay off debts, in order to buy a house, in order to treat her illness, her son Shi Yuan had to do some things that she thought betrayed her personality and dignity, and even degenerate things, such as fake marriage, such as being a lover for a rich old woman (in the original work, Shi Yuan and Gu Qingyu's master Sindy had an ambiguous relationship, and also took drugs, and the drama version purified and beautified Shi Yuan's experience) and so on.
The son ruined his life because of his mother's mistakes that year, and fell to the bottom, which is the source of Shi Yuan's mother's depression (Shi Yuan's college entrance examination, his mother gave him a drink of mung bean soup with antidepressants in order to let his son improve his attention during the exam, in fact, it was sleeping pills, and the result was that his son failed the college entrance examination, missed Fudan University, and on the day that the college entrance examination results came out, Shi Yuan's mother regretted cutting her wrists, but the rescue came back).
Now, Shi Yuan's parents are old, and his son Shi Yuan has also spent half his life, achieving nothing, not even a family. Shi Yuan's mother originally wanted to numb herself and admit her fate, but a villa that flew from Canada unveiled her sores and stimulated her brain. A family that has worked hard for half a lifetime cannot exchange for a house, and a gift from relatives before death can make them have a huge fortune in an instant. What a pungent irony!
Shi Yuan's mother believes that their family is a clown in the god of destiny, first making them high, then throwing them into the mud, trampling on them, and finally playing enough, and then throwing them high in the air.
She can't decide her own destiny, but she can decide her own life. Besides, her son has already bought a house and can inherit a villa, so she doesn't have to worry about her life in the future, so she can finally leave with confidence.
This is the reason why Shi Yuan's mother decided to commit suicide.
However, is our happy life really brought about by a house?
The house can indeed give people a sense of stability and steadfastness, especially for foreigners who are wandering in big cities, the house is their own foundation to take root in the city, and the house is the retreat and comfort nest when they encounter difficulties and failures.
However, if you just own a house, which is not filled with love and affection, and is not full of warmth and joy, then this house cannot be called a "home", but just an empty and cold living room.
The heart dwells, the heart dwells. This peace of mind is my hometown.
This should be the theme of the TV series "Heart Residence".
Following the tragedy of the people in the play, the director and the screenwriter know that we are abused, and at the end of the plot, we are going to sprinkle sugar, giving the people in the play a chance to find the place of the heart, and also giving the audience a happy and happy reason.
No longer lost in desire and ambition, no longer obsessed with gain and loss, no longer indifferent to the family affection and protection around them, no longer entangled in suspicion and calculation.
Let the heart settle down and be down-to-earth, follow the nature of kindness and love to pursue their own happiness in life, find the heart and live, content and happy.
May we all find our own place of heart and live a happy and fulfilling life.
