Beijing, April 12 (Xinhua) -- "Heart Residence" is one of the most recent hit dramas. After the conclusion, the discussions related to it continued.
Starting from the perspective of Gu Qingyu and Feng Xiaoqin's sister-in-law, this drama shows a variety of tragic and happy life experiences through the buying experience of two women with different life concepts and values.

Pensions, education, marriage... Many of the current hot topics can find shadows in "Heart Residence". Some people think that Gu Qingyu is sober in the world; some people like the parents in the book and feel that there is fireworks.
A few days ago, Teng Xiaolan, the screenwriter and original author of the play, mentioned in an exclusive interview with a reporter from China News Network that "Heart Residence" is about life is not easy. But no matter how difficult it is, many people are always actively living and continuing to walk with the best expectations.
When it comes to the open-ended ending of "Heart Residence", she believes that life does not have so many happy endings. We may not be able to fully identify with other people's lifestyles, but we can have good intentions and learn to understand.
Is Gu Qingyu a winner in life?
"Heart Residence" portrays a vivid group portrait of the characters, and Gu Qingyu is probably the more dazzling one among them.
She is an elite person in the eyes of others: she is talented, knows what she wants, and achieves financial independence early, not only can she make herself comfortable, but also has spare energy to take care of her family.
However, love is a knot in her heart. There is always a place in her heart where the "White Moonlight" is cast. Reunited many years later, even though Shi Yuan achieved nothing and still owed debts, Gu Qingyu still married him without hesitation.
Truly into life, this relationship is not as beautiful as Gu Qingyu imagined. She did her best to tolerate Shi Yuan, but forgot that after years of vicissitudes, the three views of the two people were very different, and their mentality was already different from the beginning.
The two people are full of contradictions and can only end in divorce. Teng Xiaolan pointed out the problem: when they got married, Gu Qingyu and Shi Yuan were already people in two worlds, and no matter how hard they tried, they would eventually separate.
Their love makes people sigh, but in reality, love alone may not be able to live. There is a saying that goes, "Whoever pairs up with whom, in the end, can not do what they want, it is also a rule... If it's too far away, it's a bit risky. ”
Grow up gradually in life
Compared with Gu Qingyu, Feng Xiaoqin, who is also in a big family, is not very outstanding. She is always busy and busy with life, and her personality is not so likable.

"Feng Xiaoqin is indeed not a good person in the traditional sense, at the beginning she had the heart and hard work, hoping that her son would become a dragon and hope that her husband would have a career. To outsiders, this may be an ambition. Teng Xiaolan said.
But Feng Xiaoqin has a kind side. In the novel, when the nursing home catches fire, she will go to great lengths to rescue one of Grandma's diaries, because for the elderly with Alzheimer's disease, it may be the only way to retrieve memories.
For Feng Xiaoqin, who valued materials in the early stage, she was willing to find Grandma's notebook from the fire field, which was a sublimation in itself: after experiencing the hardships of life, she had understood how important people's hearts and spiritual worlds were.
In addition, from becoming a housewife to opening a nursing home, Feng Xiaoqin has actually achieved success in another sense. She jumped out of the comfort zone of life, her horizons and patterns gradually broadened, she learned to understand others, and the road became wider and wider.
She has been slowly improving. Teng Xiaolan said that everyone in "Heart Residence" is not perfect, whether it is the pursuit of material life or the reconciliation with the heart, we all need to grow up gradually. She hopes that "Heart Dwelling" can write about this kind of growth.
Have an understanding heart
Unlike some stories, the ending of "Heart Residence" is open-ended, and near the end, there are still family banquet scenes familiar to the audience, but they are no longer complete.
For example, some cracks in relationships still exist. Although there is a lot less suspicion between Gu Qingyu and Feng Xiaoqin, and even some sympathy, it is still two parallel lines.
In this regard, Teng Xiaolan gave an explanation, "Heart Residence" is written in the group portrait, but there are also relatively main characters, Gu Qingyu and Feng Xiaoqin are two lines, but also two different types of characters.
"I wanted a reflection between them and a different perception of life." She believes that life does not have so many happy endings, and people carefully grasp the measure in getting along, live their own lives, and do not harm the interests of others.

Teng Xiaolan said that in real life, the same is true, we will meet all kinds of people, may not be able to fully identify with other people's way of life, but can have good thoughts, learn to understand.
"Life is not easy"
As a family drama, "Heart Residence" focuses more on the various characters themselves, and the small characters are also the protagonists.
"Life may be full of all kinds of problems, and there will always be contradictions between people, depending on how to face them." Teng Xiaolan said.
She believes that "Heart Residence" is about life is not easy, but no matter how difficult it is, many people are always actively living and continuing to walk with the best expectations.
As Feng Xiaoqin said, life is a ball of flour, you knead it into what it is, it will be what it becomes. (End)
