"Ode to Joy" whether it is a drama version or the original work, there is no shortage of suitors for the good girl Guan Ji'er, and most of them are young talents, and the typical Senior Brother Lin is one of them.
But whether in the play or in the original work, Guan Ji'er did not accept Senior Brother Lin's pursuit.
Why would Guan Ji'er rather have a humble crush on Doctor Zhao than accept Senior Brother Lin, who has superior conditions?
Senior Brother Lin's pursuit
Compared to Dr. Zhao, Senior Brother Lin's sense of existence is relatively weak, but in fact, his conditions are not bad.
In the original work, Guan Ji'er and Andy said when they introduced Senior Brother Lin: Skip the level! We had a senior brother Lin who skipped a grade once in elementary school, and we looked at him like a god man since we were young, and he came back to give us a report every year during the four years of college, and I was in junior high school at that time.
It can be seen that Senior Brother Lin has been a top student since he was a child, and in the original work, it is also explained that Senior Brother Lin was admitted to environmental protection after graduating from graduate school, which can be described as excellent grades and stable work.
For a suitor like Senior Brother Lin, even Fan Shengmei and Qiu Yingying expressed their envy, but Guan Guan was unmoved.
Although Guan Ji'er knew that Senior Brother Lin was very good and a good love object, her feelings for Senior Brother Lin were limited to the worship of Senior Brother from beginning to end.
Perhaps Guan Ji'er also had plans to start with Senior Brother Lin, but after meeting Dr. Zhao, she did not have any hesitation and directly rejected Senior Brother Lin, leaving him without leaving him a glimmer of hope.
Guan'er's love philosophy
Guan Ji'er has always had her own set of love concepts, and she has also mentioned to Andy that she has many suitors, many of whom are excellent candidates, but these people's words and deeds undoubtedly tell her that you are not excellent and not beautiful, but you have a good family and good personality, and you can be a good wife.
For this kind of suitor, Guan Ji'er has always refused, in other words, Guan Ji'er wants to find someone who really likes her, and only likes her, not because she looks virtuous and virtuous and suitable for marriage.
Guan'er's love theory seems quite reasonable, but in fact, at some moments, it does not stand up to scrutiny.
For example, when it came to love at first sight with Dr. Zhao, Guan'er's psychological activity at that time was that if she could be pursued by Dr. Zhao, she would agree without hesitation.
It can be seen that in front of the people she likes, Guan Ji'er does not talk about her inherent set of love concepts, so the reason why she rejected Senior Brother Lin is more because she has no good feelings and simply does not like it.
Many times, Guan'er's so-called love theory is just a reason she uses to reject others to deceive themselves, and if she encounters something she really likes, this theory will probably be thrown out of the clouds.
As Mr. Qian Zhongshu wrote in his letter to his wife Yang Wei: Before I met you, I didn't think about getting married, and I didn't think about getting married when I met you.
The final choice
Whether in the play or the original work, Guan Ji'er's final choice is not as good as Senior Brother Lin to some extent.
In the play, Guan Ji'er chose the singer Xie Tong, who has no fixed place to live, and in the original work, he chose Jingcha Xie Bin, whose family relationship is very complicated.
For Guan Ji'er's choice, many people say that the root cause is the belated rebellion of the good girl, but in my opinion, it is more Guan Ji'er's choice at will.
Without love experience, Guan Ji'er, just like us when we were students, we simply can't accept contact with someone we don't have a good impression of.
At this time, Guan Ji'er is bent on pursuing love that likes each other, but in the vast sea of people and all living beings, it is really too difficult to meet a person who likes each other and can go to the end, and the probability is too low.
And in the end, Guan Ji'er may lose to reality like most people, marry the so-called doorman, and live a stable life.
