Recently, Youku broadcast a TV series called "Back Wave", which has attracted quite attention, and the initial attraction is the strong lineup.
The heroine Zhao Lusi seems to have become the ratings guarantee of dramas in recent years, and is a representative of the new generation of actresses after 95 with beauty and acting skills.
This time she plays an eccentric, enthusiastic and generous, chivalrous and a little confused girl Sun Tou in the play, there are many funny passages in the play, and there are also performances regardless of image.
▲ Sun Toutou was stung by bees into a big swollen face.
Zhao Lusi herself is a sweet dollar actress, playing "eccentric" is already a masterpiece, belongs to the true color of the role, this time also added a little jianghu arrogance on the body, the role is quite vivid.
▲ In the first episode, Sun Tou Tou saw that the road was uneven and pulled out a knife to help, and this shot of punching is really a little handsome.
The male protagonist is also the master of Zhao Lusi in the play, played by Wu Gang. Wu Gang also had a breakthrough this time, because the audience's intuitive feeling was... Did Teacher Wu Gang quietly become handsome?
This neat and handsome dress can't be said not to be in the "uncle circle".
▲ Wu Gang's styling in the play is quite textured, and it is more common to appear in a turtleneck sweater and an extended suit, and a pair of long legs are very eye-catching.
Playing Wu Gang's wife is the gentle and beautiful Jiang Shan, in the play she is gentle, virtuous, knife-mouthed tofu heart, although the mouth is everywhere to count the husband, but silently support the husband's career, the husband and wife love feelings are very deep, and Wu Gang's CP sense is just right, the old husband and wife mode also adds a little playfulness.
In addition, there are old drama bones Li Guangfu and Xi Meijuan, who play the senior doctors of the Chinese medicine family. Extraordinary temperament and deep cultural heritage.
The theme of this drama is very clear, Wu Gang played by Ren Xin, a professor at the University of Chinese Medicine, is about to run a "Chinese medicine practitioner class", and such a teacher inheritance class inadvertently brings together many people of different ages, qualifications, and identity backgrounds, and many interesting stories have occurred.
As the plot deepens, more and more audiences feel that these people reflect the lives of most ordinary people, and we can see our own shadows from the characters in the play.
Let's start with Zhao Lusi.
Sun Tou Tou played by Zhao Lusi is a character with a very prominent personality, she is enthusiastic and cheerful, and she is mostly evaluated by people in the play as "tomboy".
She is a typical girl who grew up in the fireworks of society, she has very little "ladylikeness", and her style is indeed frizzy and aggressive, so that the master often dislikes her for "standing without standing and not sitting".
But this character has an inherent logic of fate.
The reason why Sun Tooutou is like this is because she has a tragic life, her parents died since she was a child, she grew up in a welfare dean, and she was prematurely connected with this world. She may have developed a "not easy to mess with" face since she was a child, as she said - "Obedient children are adopted, disobedient children are also adopted, and no one wants me." ”
Such a seemingly stubborn character is actually her protective clothing, a weapon for her to hide her vulnerability, so Ren Xinzheng's evaluation of her is very accurate - Sun Toutou lacks a sense of belonging and security.
Sun Tou Tou once made a living by delivering takeaways, she learned the ability to survive in the world very early, can stir-fry, is good at dealing with people, is self-cooked, and even her physical fitness is not inferior to boys;
She learned her own set of "smooth" rules of life, delivering food in a race against time, and Sun Toutou and the traffic police are familiar with each other.
Long-term life is difficult, there is an instinctive vigilance against such things as "good luck from the sky", Ren Xin is about to accept her as a student, and also pay a monthly salary, Sun Toutou's first intuitive reaction is - is your child going to change a kidney?
She is not highly educated, but she does not shy away from this. Therefore, in Ren Xinzheng's teacher's class, Sun Toutou was always the one who made trouble, either sleeping in class or fighting with his classmates.
But such a "stubborn" grandson, her heart is pure and warm and upright.
Although she has suffered a lot of losses, she will still see righteous and courageous actions when she sees unfair things, even if she is hurt by the other party again, and "enters the game" again because of "good intentions to do bad things". So the police also felt sorry for her and secretly took care of her.
Friends were treated unfairly, and Sun Toutou was the first to stand up for her.
Although such a grandson is always naughty and more or less troublesome, she can always be loved by people because of her inner sincerity, and she naturally has a sense of intimacy.
Behind Sun Toutou are countless ordinary but kind girls like her, perhaps without a prominent background, and even prematurely experienced the injustice of fate, but never gave up hope of climbing up.
Such a girl is both strong and fragile, we can see the arc of fate on Sun Toutou, she has her own inner pains, no relatives, and a hard life, although these hidden pains are never shown. But she still desperately needs recognition in her personality – how can self-worth be realized when fate turns on hard mode?
This will also be the spiritual transformation and sublimation that Sun Toutou will have in this teacher's inheritance class.
The "world apart" from Sun Tooutou's life is Ren Xinzheng's son Ren Tianzhen, played by Luo Yizhou.
Compared to Sun Tou, who has nothing, his world seems to have everything at his fingertips.
He is the only son of Ren Xinzheng, and his grandparents are also Chinese medicine masters, he studied medicine all the way, smooth and prosperous, often described as "born in Rome".
He doesn't have to worry about money at all, and becomes friends with classmates with poor family conditions, and almost all of his food, clothing, housing and transportation are his money; He will not be too anxious about his profession, after all, there is a way to go wherever he goes, whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine, there are people to help him on either road.
The classmate said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Your starting point is my end." ”
His family is complete, his parents are decent, and his grandparents love and care for him as much as they can.
Will such a boy who has received the "King Fried Good Card" from birth still have troubles in life?
In fact, his troubles are no less than that.
Almost all children who are sheltered by their parents have a very prominent psychological problem, that is, the desire to be approved by their father and to break free from their father's protection.
The two ideas were deep and contradictory, entangled in his childhood, his adolescence, and his adulthood. Therefore, the pressure on such a child is not a lot at all, which also causes Ren Tianzhen's "cold outside and hot inside" character.
He obviously has thoughts, opinions, and academic talent and achievements, but he is not willing to show too much, in the eyes of his father, he is always "hanging", even if he is misunderstood, he never justifies.
He has to be subjected to stricter scrutiny than ordinary people, and his growth path has to face higher requirements, because "the tiger father has no dog son". When he does something wrong professionally, he often gets a thunderbolt evaluation from his father.
Ren Tianzhen was born in such a typical "strong father" family, although the mother will play a balancing role in it, but the father's strength caused the son's sensitivity and silence.
Therefore, Ren Tianzhen often shows indifference to the outside world, always has a serious expression on his face, and is with the enthusiastic Sun Toutou, and the chemical reaction is quite strong.
In addition, Ren Tianzhen is also full of confusion about his career, perhaps because he has been exposed to Chinese medicine since he was a child, but he has a rebellious mood.
This is also a characteristic of young people, who want to try new things, want to rebel against the authority of their fathers, and always want to prove their ability by "detachment".
All of the above caused this carefree young man who should have held a golden spoon in his heart, and his heart was full of worries.
Beautiful lawyer Yang Xiaohong, a typical successful professional woman, she is extremely self-disciplined, extremely hard-working, and has also obtained a "glamorous" successful life in the eyes of others, became a barrister, has a good life, sweeps thousands of troops in the workplace, and is confident and beautiful, simply a winner in life.
In this "TCM Practitioner Class", Yang Xiaohong, who is beautiful, successful, and high-minded, is always the one who attracts the most attention.
For Yang Xiaohong, material life and career choices can no longer constitute confusion, and when life reaches the stage of abundance, almost all anxiety comes from the spirit, from a person's analysis and thinking about the heart.
Yang Xiaohong joined the teacher inheritance class because she watched a fellow lawyer die of a sudden heart attack, which deeply touched her and made her start to think, "What is the meaning of life?" What is the point of me working hard to make money and strive to be excellent? ”
Therefore, Yang Xiaohong joined the teacher inheritance class in order to find the answer to the meaning of life. In this lively and flying teacher inheritance class, Yang Xiaohong is always the most tense one, she must always maintain hygiene and disinfect various utensils:
She has a set of golden rules for self-restraint, eating only boiled dishes, being sure to exercise every day, and often using money to measure the value of things and relationships:
▲ A friend cut her collar to save her to keep her breathing, but she blamed the other party for destroying her clothes.
She has a clear sense of boundaries for people's interactions, does not accept the kindness of others, and absolutely does not allow the other party to get benefits from herself "for free".
This comes partly from professional habits, and on the other hand, from the characteristics of her personality. We can sense that she has never relaxed for a moment with herself, but she does not like such a tense state, but she cannot find an exit or direction.
There is also Zhao Liquan, who comes from an ordinary background.
He was admitted to a prestigious university from the countryside, determined to stay in the big city and find a "staffed" job, becoming the pride of the entire village. Such a boy, I believe we will also meet in life.
This heavy sense of responsibility makes him work extra hard and not miss any opportunities, but it also makes him form an imperceptible sense of inferiority and sensitivity.
He and Ren Tianzhen, who was "born in Rome", are friends, and the family environment is very different, which is a great stimulus for Zhao Liquan, but his self-esteem does not allow him to show inferiority, and he cannot accept his failure and mediocrity, so Zhao Liquan later lied to his parents, pretending that he had "found a job", and his subsequent life became screwed.
Not only the students in the teacher inheritance class have distinct character portrayals, there are some small supporting roles, some patients, in fact, they are also living people that we can meet in our lives.
For example, parents who are anxious because their daughter has depression. They sought medical treatment everywhere, and even gave their daughter electroshock therapy, but a very obvious phenomenon is that although they are anxious, they always can't let go of the work at hand, thinking that as long as they spend money, they can hire a smart doctor, medicine to get rid of the disease, but they never really face the root of the problem, that is, the lack of companionship and real care for the child.
And this kind of luxury hope that only money can put everything in order and achieve a perfect life is also common in our lives.
There are also mothers and daughters trapped by life and sudden doom, businessmen who are bent on seeking capital success...
It can be seen that the vivid characters are actually a vivid group portrait scroll, and each of us seems to have their shadows.
This small TCM practitioner is like a small river and lake, which accommodates the variety of life and also hints at the contradictions and dilemmas that each of us faces.
Therefore, in my eyes, this drama is not so much about Chinese medicine and interpretation of Chinese medicine, but rather that it is using the power of Chinese medicine to heal every life full of doubts and confusion, and provide every ordinary person with a direction to think.
Whether it is Sun Toutou, Ren Tianzhen, Yang Xiaohong, or other people who come to this class by chance, the process of learning Chinese medicine is a process of finding themselves, finding life goals and meaning in life, and this process itself means results.
I like the open-minded, calm, and leisurely attitude that Ren Xinzheng and his wife convey when facing every patient and every student.
The first lesson of Ren Xinzheng's class is the labor class, because "the inside and outside are cleaned, and the talent will be clear and refreshing";
When a student sleeps in class, instead of getting angry, he says that "sleeping is better than swiping his phone."
Someone accidentally injured others, causing misfortune for others, Ren Xinzheng advised "don't take the blame on yourself"; In the face of aggressive "rights defenders", he said that "forgiving others is forgiving yourself";
Faced with unconvinced students, he said that "practice is the only criterion for testing truth"; In the face of women who have problems in marriage, he said, "Look to the light in everything"; Facing the confused students, he said that "the greatest discord of people is the discord of people"...
In the face of children who dare not admit their mistakes, he said that people should take responsibility:
The mother is full of self-blame for her daughter's misfortune, while Song Linglan said that natural and man-made disasters are inevitable, and the purpose is to teach people to bravely face reality and always be full of hope in life.
Ren Xinzheng did not intend to use the great principles to enlighten the lives of others, but he had practiced medicine all his life, and unconsciously internalized the theory of Chinese medicine into his own words and deeds, thereby infecting and driving the people around him.
Therefore, the couple Ren Xinzheng and Song Linglan in the play is also quite interesting, on the one hand, they have the appearance of a secular couple, discuss money, have disputes over their son's education, have different views on things, and have differences;
But precisely because they have always had a broad and peaceful heart, there is a rare harmony and mutual understanding between husband and wife.
A very moving scene in the play is Song Linglan going to catch a doll, and Ren Xin is spoiling to help her buy coins, take bags, and enjoy this moment from the bottom of her heart, the old husband and wife also have a unique romance, and the audience's mood has become better.
I also like the feeling of harmony and harmony between man and nature conveyed in the play, Qingming sacrifices, valley rain picking tea, watching the Milky Way, listening to birdsong, and the "twenty-four solar terms" natural phenomenon throughout the play...
People living in cities have not enjoyed true inner peace for a long time, and perhaps, in heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, and the stars, we can find this peace.
As the play demonstrates, this drama is also a remedy for our disorderly life, which allows us to gain some small peace in the busyness and some clarity in the chaos.
It also makes us deeply understand that no matter what kind of life we have experienced, what kind of family we have, what kind of education we have obtained, and we all need to "heal", and the power of this healing is never someone else, it is the self who looks up at the stars and suddenly opens up.
This is also the spiritual core of this drama, talking about Chinese medicine, never talking about "art", but tracing back to the origin, looking for the root of "people", looking for the peace of people's hearts. Ren Xinzheng insists that Chinese medicine is not to see a doctor, but to see people, and he almost breaks the essence in one word.
Yes, everyone lives in the world and goes through all kinds of tribulations and troubles, but isn't the greatness of "man" here? Traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese culture are in the same vein, and at this moment, I think of Su Shi's famous song "Fixing the Wind and Waves" -
Mo listened to the sound of Lin beating leaves, why not groan and walk. Bamboo cane mango shoes light victory over horses, who is afraid? A cloud of smoke and rain for life.
Su Shi's short words are a good medicine to heal people's hearts, making people calm and optimistic in the face of storms. Perhaps, this is our greatest spiritual wealth, to be able to love uncertain life with greater peace...
