When the ancient puppet dramas are really a little aesthetically tiring, there is finally an urban emotional drama that reflects reality!
It is "Fireworks People", just looking at the title of the play, it releases a sense of healing. The smell of fireworks in the world is the most soothing to the hearts of mortals!
It's an emotional drama about family, growing up, and supporting each other.
The plot revolves around the daily life of three generations of the Meng family, Meng Mingwei (played by Xu Fan), Meng Yunqing (played by Liang Jing), and Meng Yi'an (played by Li Xiaoran) The three sisters have different personalities, so they have completely different life trajectories.
Family is the core theme of this drama, Qiao Haiyun (played by Song Chunli), the head of the Meng family, is the backbone of this family, and the three daughters of the Meng family each have their own small families, and everyone includes a small family.
The three daughters of the Meng family and their next generation have their own dilemmas and challenges in family, marriage and love, and the workplace.
"Fireworks in the World" outlines the group portraits of women of three generations, showing the audience how middle-aged women deal with their relationships with their partners and children, and respond to life changes, workplace and other issues;
The longing, confusion and self-exploration of the young generation, and how they find their place in family, society, workplace and love.
The interaction and growth between the three generations of female characters in the Meng family conveys deep reflections on timeless themes such as family, kinship, friendship and love.
01
At the beginning of the plot, the scene unfolds with the grandmother's birthday and the reunion of the Meng family, and the family members appear one after another.
The eldest daughter Meng Mingwei (played by Xu Fan) is busy in the kitchen, and at the same time uses her mobile phone to leave a message to her daughter Li Yijin (played by Ma Sichun), the daughter does not answer the phone or reply to messages, and the alienation and contradictions in the mother-daughter relationship are self-evident.
On the contrary, the appearance of the second daughter Meng Yunqing, the daughter and son-in-law's family went home happily, happy and happy.
This is a foreshadowing of the comparison, and the comparison of the two families in all aspects starts from here.
As the saying goes, "No contrast hurts!"
The second daughter Meng Yunqing has a successful career and is a wealthy gold-collar class, and her daughter Tao Shuna seems to have inherited her excellent genes and was admitted to a doctorate in a top university in China.
And the eldest daughter Meng Mingwei does not have any halo, she is a hard-working, simple housewife, and she also struggles to get along with her daughter Li Yijin.
The daughter is not attached to her and does not have a heart-to-heart relationship with her, and the interaction between the two is either tense or chicken feathers.
Meng Mingwei's concern for her daughter often makes Li Yijin feel suffocated;
Because she is either accusatory, or her tone is full of cynicism,
These not only gave Li Yijin a sense of powerlessness, but also a sense of rebellion and escape.
Meng Mingwei asked Li Yijin not to fall in love with Zhou Zhi, she prefers to let her go home for the New Year, but she wants to go back to her hometown in the Northeast with Zhou Dao.
Meng Mingwei and Li Yijin are a true portrayal of the mother-daughter relationship in many families.
Conflicts and conflicts arise between mothers and daughters because of their different understandings and expectations, and misunderstandings are deepened by improper communication.
As a result, the mother and daughter are emotionally trapped in a vicious circle of hurting each other, even if they love each other deep down.
What is worth watching in this drama is the exploration of women's emotions;
The dependence and conflict between mother and daughter, the generation gap, personality and concept differences between the two generations, and the inability to understand and accept each other for a while, show the contradictory, complex and multifaceted emotions of women.
I believe that this drama should be helpful and enlightening in teaching the audience how to face and deal with the emotional entanglement with their mother.
02
Compared with the way Meng Mingwei, the eldest daughter of the Meng family, educated Li Yijin, the way the second daughter Meng Yunqing and her daughter Tao Shuna got along is much more harmonious.
The two mothers and daughters are like a pair of sisters, they can talk about anything, from daily life to their crushes, they get along like a pair of best friends.
Meng Yunqing's small family is a combination of strong women and weak men, and she is also the main creator of the family economy, holding the right to speak in the family economy.
In fact, attentive viewers may have discovered that Meng Yunqing's small family has a potential crisis.
Meng Yunqing is outstanding, and she can be alone outside, and there is no shortage of suitors.
(Her high school classmate and boss in the play is one)
Even if she got married, she also cultivated a female doctor's daughter.
Meng Yunqing's husband relies on her financially, but for the sake of her daughter, she is willing to keep the integrity of the family for her daughter, although she may have been "cool" to her husband for a long time.
In the play, Meng Yunqing interrupted her husband twice in time, and tried her best to avoid those adults in front of her daughter.
For the first time
Meng Yunqing never quarrels with her husband when her daughter Tao Shuna is there, especially the emotional problems between adults, this kind of education method is worth referring to as a mother.
second
Meng Yunqing indirectly told her husband that her daughter finally came back, don't harass her with trivial things, and make her daughter happy.
It can be seen that Meng Yunqing's IQ and EQ are very online.
At home, he balances his partner's relationship and takes care of his daughter's emotions.
It is also reasonable for such mothers to cultivate excellent daughters, and they can create conditions financially, correct emotional education, and give spiritual protection at any time;
Tao Shuna learns and grows carefree, and when she gets a doctorate, as long as her IQ passes, it is also very logical.
In contrast, Tao Shuna is very confident. Comparing Tao Shuna and Li Yijin's attitude towards love, it is not difficult to find this obvious self-confidence advantage.
Tao Shuna's love motto is: Evenly matched is the best love.
She likes seniors in the same major, and in order to achieve her goals, she goes to the community where the seniors live to rent a house;
Tao Shuna likes it, so she will take the initiative to attack, not twisting, taking the initiative to confess, even if she knows that there is a rival, she will not give up easily.
Tao Shuna's emotional pattern is very healthy and sound. This has to be attributed to Meng Yunqing's excellent education.
Meng Yunqing's approach to education shows a mature and responsible attitude.
The family is a safe, harmonious place where daughters deserve to feel love and warmth.
Therefore, she did not hesitate to retreat from her husband (giving him money, agreeing to his unreasonable demands) to try to keep the family atmosphere calm and stable, and avoid her daughter's emotional problems with adults, because this is not good for her daughter's emotions.
She hopes that her daughter will focus only on her studies and hobbies at the right age, instead of being troubled by family disputes.
This way of education reflects her thoughtful and planned for her daughter's future development.
Compared with Li Yijin's emotions, he has been entangled with thoughtfulness for six years, but there is no result.
Thoughtful never mentioned his family in front of Li Yijin, although Li Yijin thought it was incredible, but he could endure it for six years.
What does this mean? Li Yijin's emotional pattern is unhealthy, and her lack of confidence in herself has caused a dependence on "willingness".
Li Yijin's unconfidence is projected on love, which is the twisted state of her relationship with Zhouzhi.
Li Yijin is like this, and his mother Meng Mingwei's sarcastic and demeaning education is of course indispensable.
And Li Yijin happened to be thoughtful, and Zhou Zhi also lived in a broken family environment, which was the reason why Zhou Zhi never dared to tell Li Yijin about his family.
(In the play, black and white clips are used to explain that when Zhou Zhi was young, his mother killed his father)
This is the psychological shadow of thoughtfulness, thoughtfulness never says, there are too many concerns, and there is no way to overcome psychological obstacles.
It is indeed the truth that what kind of energy people are attracted.
People who are not confident, love self-denial, and lack of positive energy attract people who are not psychologically healthy.
Epilogue:
This article is not intended to make positive or negative comments on the way Meng Mingwei and Meng Yunqing educate their daughters.
Instead, through their emotional twists and turns as women and mothers, they think deeply about topics such as women's emotions and family education.
Sometimes, in real life, the relationship between mother and daughter is often more complicated than the plot;
The audience will be able to find empathy in the characters and plots in the play, and then reflect on their own attitudes and behaviors when dealing with similar relationships.
I believe that this is the core value that "Fireworks People" wants to convey to the audience.
