Since the age of 23, he has been preparing hard for the goal of passing the bar exam, and has suffered nine consecutive defeats in taking the exam for nine consecutive years. Nine years later, the woman is 33 years old, from a small place, working in a Tokyo law firm that does not pay as much as a tenure employee, and lives in a murderous house with cheap rent. Long-time boyfriends and even the bosses of law firms hope that women can give up continuing exams and enter a life that follows the rules, such as getting married, having children, and taking care of their families. Because he had been preparing for exams alone for many years and did not participate in social activities, he had few friends, and the only family member was his mother who suddenly fell ill. In this case, if it were you, would you still insist on fulfilling this wish?
"Indomitable Woman" poster
In 2010, Japan's NTV produced the 10-episode Japanese drama "Indomitable Woman" ("曲げられない女") co-starred by Miho Kanno, Takashi Tsukamoto, Shosuke Tanihara and Hiromi Nagasaku and others, which tells the story of Hayaki Ogihara, a 33-year-old woman who "does not know how to change" and has repeatedly failed the bar exam, and insisted on realizing her dream of being a lawyer.
In the play, Hayaki, played by powerful actress Miho Kanno, shows the life story of a woman who is not inflexible, but always does not want to succumb to failure and give up pursuing her dreams with a deliberately rigid posture and attitude towards life, which really inspired many people who are struggling, want to work hard, or even have given up on their efforts (of course, there is the little author himself). THE HEROINE IN THE PLAY IS ALWAYS ACCOMPANIED BY A TEN-YEAR DIARY OF MIDORI, THE SAME FEW WORDS, REFLECTING THE EFFORTS OF THE EARLY DAYS AND YEARS WITHOUT INTERRUPTION.

Without the youth of the student days, life after entering society always ruthlessly pushes everyone to move forward in the mud of "forced middle-aged people", strangers will point fingers at all kinds of "inflexibility", even mothers, best friends and boyfriends after supporting early childhood for so many years, think that it is the age when she should face reality and start learning to be flexible. In fact, not only the personal thoughts of yourself or the people around you, but also the actual situation has gradually undergone distracting changes, such as the death of the mother, the boyfriend's unwillingness to wait unconditionally for "breaking up without marriage", the failure of a good friend's marriage, unexpected pregnancy, and so on. And after nine consecutive years of failure, most people will have self-doubting thoughts such as "I may not be that material" and "I will not help no matter how hard I try", so give up.

Fortunately, after all this, although Hayaki wavered, struggled, and even failed to prepare for the tenth exam during pregnancy, she still, finally, achieved her goal.
Hayaki finally got her certificate of competency
In fact, I suddenly remembered this Japanese drama that has been around for years,
I decided to start learning Japanese when I was almost forty years old, and I also ritually bought this diary that I wanted to buy eleven or twelve years ago, hoping that it would witness me fulfilling some dreams.
Like everyone else, I am middle-aged who has experienced more than two years of the new crown raging, the international situation is unstable, my income is deteriorating, and my debts seem to be paid endlessly.
It was me, who watched my parents and myself pass away, and slowly began to receive major notifications from familiar people around me, and found that it was no longer all congratulatory posts but obituaries,
Tell yourself that you are still willing to use the light of your dreams to face the wind and rain of life, you have not yet given in, you are still the original teenager, and you can still bravely survive.
Life kisses me bitterly, and I return with an unyielding grimace
I would like to encourage you. Come on.
