In the film, the relationship between the protagonist Xu Yiwan (played by Xu Zheng) and his mother Lu Jingqiu (played by Yuan Quan) is very complicated, they are both interdependent and full of conflict.
We can see the characters in this film as representatives of the typical father-son, mother-child relationship in the context of Chinese culture. In traditional cultures, fathers are often the image of authority, while sons are expected to live and develop according to their parents' requirements. In this case, the role of the mother is particularly important. She is both a sanctuary for children and an important bridge between children and their fathers.
In "Embarrassing Mother", we see a completely different picture. The mother here is no longer just a protector and supporter, but a challenger and promoter. This is because in modern society, the role of mothers is gradually changing as the status of women and social attitudes change.
"Embarrassing Mother" shows the process of this change through a series of plots. For example, when Lu Jingqiu decided to embark on a trip alone with her grandson, her actions not only allowed Xu Yiwan to share the pressure, but also made him reflect on his lifestyle and values. In the process, he realized that he had been too dependent on his mother for a long time and neglected the need for self-growth.
At the same time, Lu Jingqiu's behavior also allows the audience to see her independence and perseverance. Despite her old age, she still retains her passion and curiosity for life and dares to pursue her dreams. This spirit has a strong enlightening effect on modern mothers.
