On the misty Shanghai beach, two young girls are locking their eyes, and you are going back and forth. A man from a wealthy family, with a graceful dancing figure that has just come out of a new Porsche; A family from an ordinary family, dressed plainly, but with pure and resolute eyes. This is a classic scene in the popular drama "Chenghuan Ji", the two parties are Xin Jiali, the daughter of a rich family, and Mai Chenghuan, a commoner. What is puzzling is that the latter finally had a very different fate from the fearless Xin Jiali, and the self-suffering and self-improvement finally ended up reunited, on the other hand, Xin Jiali was tortured and almost ruined.
You must know that Xin Jiali was once the pearl of the splendid family, both smart and clever, both civil and military, and from a prominent family. is such a lady with an excellent family background, but in the end, she was devastated by the accident and had to face a cruel forced abortion. Why did the director give her such a bloody plot? What is the metaphor in it? "The Legend of Cheng Huan" has left too many thought-provoking mysteries.
It is said that back then, the root of Xin Jiali and Mai Chenghuan's-for-tat confrontation was Mai Chenghuan's mother Liu Wanyu, who wanted to marry into a wealthy family. Liu Wanyu only saw Xin Jialiang's wealthy family background, and had no appreciation of his character, she thought that as long as her daughter could enter this family, it would be great. And Xin Jiali pretended to be pretentious and spoke wild and vicious words to each other, trying to use tricky means to obstruct the marriage of Mak Chenghuan and Xin Jialiang.
The two sides come and go, and it intensifies. But no one expected that the situation would eventually lead to such an unexpected bloody end. As the daughter of the Xin family, Xin Jiali was forced to have a miscarriage in the middle of the family and was in pain; Mai Chenghuan, who was from a humble background, insisted on being celibate and moving towards a free life, and he was small and ambitious.
Xin's tragedy stemmed from the blockage of the family's business, high debts and eventual family ruin. Not only that, but she also had to be at the mercy of her in-laws, suffered a forced abortion, and the child died before she was born. For a mother who has been longing for a long time and has been looking forward to it for many years, the psychological trauma can be imagined.
But the tragic scenes are all the reasons why Mai Chenghuan was determined to abandon the life of a wealthy family. Having experienced poverty and hardship, Mak Chenghuan knows that money is not everything, and inner strength and spiritual independence are the foundation of a free life. This may be the deep meaning of the screenwriter's arrangement of the plot - to exhort the world not to be blinded by vanity, and to have their own independent thinking about life.
The poignant scenes in the play make people feel the merciless torture of fate on the weak. Xin Jiali was used as a tool by her parents and grasped by her husband as a plaything, which is even far from her maternal nature. Although Mak Chenghuan came from an ordinary background, he was constantly striving for self-improvement because of his persistent pursuit of truth. She rejected Xin Jialiang and Yao Zhiming's love, and would rather be lonely than struggle within her own strength.
Life is such a cruel stage, and every character on it needs to play its own place, whether you are rich or poor, you need to face up to the essence of human nature. When power declines, money disappears, and all that remains is his own independent pursuit of life. This may be the true meaning of life that the screenwriter wants to convey to the audience.
Some people say that "Cheng Huan Ji" reveals the hypocrisy and prejudice of the upper class, and outlines the difficult journey of the people at the bottom to pursue happiness and dignity. This is not unreasonable, Xin Jiali was portrayed as a rich wife from the beginning, she was empty-sighted, arrogant, and unlearned. On the other hand, Mai Chenghuan is unpretentious but shining, neither humble nor arrogant, diligent and progressive, and makes a difference.
The most valuable thing about a little person such as Mai Chenghuan is that he is kind and simple, and he insists on being a man even if he is poor. She likes someone not because of the other party's powerful status, but because of that sincerity and warmth. And a lady like Xin Jiali, although she is worth millions, is too sophisticated and sleek, and she only values money and status. Her relationship with Xin Jialiang broke down, and her marriage with Luo Mingli ended without a problem, which is embarrassing.
Life is often so impermanent, and in the end, all we are left with is ourselves. The children of rich families who once spent a lot of money may be destitute in the blink of an eye; And those unknown strugglers will eventually win their lives with their hard work and tenacity. In the final analysis, although money and status are key, they are external factors after all, and only with inner independence and freedom can you truly have a happy life.
Seeing Xin Jiali's bloody episode of a forced abortion, we couldn't help but cry for her. But in addition to being sad, we should also realize the theme that "Chenghuan Ji" wants to convey: the most precious thing for a person is not money and status, but free will and independent personality. Xin Jiali coveted vanity and finally had nothing, and Mai Chenghuan put down poverty and finally raised his eyebrows. This is the best gift that fate has given to the world.
When the coat is taken off, it is as if all lies have been exposed. Xin Jialiang, who was once a poor boy, also exposed his true identity as a rich child. But from another point of view, the rich are also stripping away vanity and utilization, and re-examining their inner pursuit and meaning of life. Everyone is making the final choice in life in the process of unraveling the mystery.
Life is a never-ending process of reflection that never stops. When you think you've grasped the truth, only to find out that it's just the beginning of one lie after another. Every stage of life brings us new puzzles and lessons. Whether we choose to live in a wealthy family and whether we want to stick to simplicity and authenticity actually test our insistence on our inner independent will.
Therefore, Mai Chenghuan's ending is not only a life choice, but also a pursuit of "freedom". She rejected the narrowness and material conditions of the children of rich families, and finally chose to go to the country of freedom in her heart independently. The so-called wealthy aristocrats, in the final analysis, are just a bunch of false names.
Although "Cheng Huan Ji" is only an urban emotional drama, what it leaves behind is an eternal subject about life, freedom, and independence. It tells us not to be fooled by flashy appearances, and that noble upbringing and inner qualities are the true criteria for examining a person. Xin Jiali fell halfway only to show that she is destined not to truly gain inner independence and freedom, and Mai Chenghuan is the wise man who has found the truth.
Life is not always smooth sailing, but as long as there is an inexhaustible force in your heart, you will eventually find the door to freedom. Mai Chenghuan is such a wise man who embraces independence and freedom, she will never follow the crowd, and would rather be lonely than pursue her inner calling. This dedication to freedom is precisely the reason why she can finally raise her eyebrows.
Have you ever been like Xin Jiali, immersed in the ocean of vanity and materialism? Or like Mak Chenghuan, bravely pursuing inner freedom and independence? No matter what choice you make, you should always remember the true meaning of life: only by jumping out of the shackles of fame and fortune can you gain true freedom and independence in your heart. Let's applaud Mak Chenghuan's pursuit of life, and wish everyone in the world to gain inner freedom!
