Not long ago, it was Mother's Day, we collectively recalled and praised the love of our mother, as a mother's mother, my grandmother was also one of the protagonists of this holiday.
Be diligent, take care of your family, love your juniors... It is a unified impression of grandma for many people, but do you know more about grandma:
What did Grandma like, and what kind of person was she when she was young?
I'm afraid that many people will find it difficult to answer.
Dou Qi, a child who grew up in a maternal family, has all the female family members: aunt, grandmother, mother, her.
Grandma brought up her mother alone, and then brought her up, and also supported the main source of the family's economy - rice noodle shop.
Such a hardworking, simple woman, but not valued and loved by other women in the family, after pulling her eldest granddaughter and the situation at home is relatively stable, she can finally rebel once and come to a quiet escape.
She is, Mom, and Grandma.
Sun Yuping, like the women in the dual-income families of that era, worked hard and thriftily ran the household.
Running a family of three with her husband, she creates the best conditions for her daughter within the conditions.
Her ordinary life was broken by an accident, her husband died unexpectedly on a business trip, she changed her house, quit her job, and supported her family by selling stinky tofu.
When her daughter grew up, she asked her to help her find a job. The daughter's marriage affairs are all at the daughter's will.
It is precisely because of this that the daughter will meet someone who is unfair, and the reason for the failure of the marriage is due to her lack of opinion.
As the days passed, the rice noodle shop opened by my grandmother and daughter was booming, and my granddaughter Dou Qi was growing up day by day. The day before the middle school entrance examination, because her granddaughter wanted to eat Xiaolongbao, she went out with a pressure cooker that was on the fire, causing a large scar on Dou Qi's neck.
Since then, Grandma has become the most vocal person in the family, whether it is Dou Qi or Dou Qi's mother, they now more or less think that their situation is caused by Grandma.
Corresponding to this, is the aunt, the king of mouth cannons in the family. Although she and her grandmother are twins, unlike her grandmother, who is a good wife and mother, her aunt has never been married and has no children in her life, and runs a Chinese medicine center. Respected outside, she used her three-inch poisonous tongue at home to keep the whole family away from her.
Maybe it's fed up with her daughter's complaints in the open and in secret, or maybe it's because she suddenly wants to live for herself once after walking through the ghost gate, and the "old age and rebellious" grandmother doesn't say goodbye, and disappears for five years.
This time, she is not a grandmother, not a mother, she is Sun Yuping.
Grandma's wonderful travel story, Dou Qi and his family learned from outsiders. She and her aunt followed the clues of her grandmother's travels and met many people who had dealt with her grandmother. Also from the mouths of these people, piece together the experience of grandmother:
Grandma touched the wanted prisoner who was on the run,
Helping those who encounter difficulties when they meet Pingshui,
I have also rescued stray cats,
The grandmother, who usually seems cowardly and gentle, actually dares to stalk the cat sadist,
is also very camera-oriented, has become an Internet celebrity,
Even harvested a twilight love.
Interestingly, when I lived with my grandmother before, the grandmother who got along with her day and night was like a familiar stranger, with no personality, no preferences, no mention of the past, no mention of the future.
On the contrary, the image of the grandmother in the foreigner population began to become clear,
She had anger,
There is shyness when meeting people you like,
Worked as a coffee shop clerk, worked as a cleaner,
Courageous in the fight against sexual harassment,
In places where no one knows her, she has fabricated countless identities for herself: sometimes she is a twin sister who runs a Chinese medicine center without marriage all her life; Sometimes the business is successful, the children travel overseas, and sometimes they come back to visit the winner in life.
Also had an unexpected life on the way out.
Of course, the trip during this period was not all smooth sailing,
When she said goodbye to her childhood playmate, she did not have the warmth she imagined, but instead became distracted and understood what "plastic sister flower" is,
Also fell into the sweet trap because of a momentary favor,
Being abducted by his partner with morality becomes a tool to take care of his paralyzed family on his behalf.
It's hard to describe whether grandma's trip was worth it, but what you can know is,
Although the physical distance from the family is getting farther and farther, the bond between the grandmother and the family is deeper. Those family members who knew little about her completed the reshaping of "Sun Yuping" through the dictation of others.
While deconstructing Sun Yuping, the screenwriter also focuses on women struggling in difficult situations:
Among them, there are people who have seen their best friends die in front of them, but the murderer has only been in prison for a few years, struggling in hatred,
There are people who are disabled by accidents, taste the inconvenience and finally close their hearts,
People who do their best to provide for their sweetheart to read, even if they do not hesitate to take the illegal road, and finally love and work are beaten,
Along the way, we and Dou Qi looked not only at the experience of my grandmother, but also the experience of countless women.
In "Grandma's World", the character of Grandma is used to string together the unit story, and also strung together the core that the whole play wants to pass on to the audience, and from such group portrait creation, we see the innovation and sincerity of the drama party.
Finally, to borrow a phrase from the song "Grandma": she wants companionship, not six hundred yuan, which is simpler than what you give.
