Preface
Unexpectedly, watching Li Xian's new drama "Spring Lover" gave me a new understanding of "death".
The whole drama cleverly combines the topics of love + family + friendship + funeral + death in an innovative and breakthrough way.
In the play, there are not only the "sunny ruffian" Li Xian and the "social bandit" Zhou Yutong who hugged the sweet maniac "nibbling".
There is also a strong family care, a practical sense of life, and a deep understanding of "death", which is particularly novel and warm.
After watching the whole drama, it feels like there are only two words: "cure".
After watching it, I eliminated the fear of death, increased the longing for love, and healed my soul like never before.
Unexpectedly, at the end of April, after the rain in the valley, the spring heart before the summer followed this "Spring Lover", rippling.
After all, it is a drama broadcast in the prime time of the Central Eight, and it must have a certain level.
After only 3 episodes were released at the beginning of the broadcast, the ratings broke 1 and reached an astonishing rating of 1.46%.
In addition to starring Li Xian and Zhou Yutong, there are also old actors such as Liu Lin and Fang Fang in the play, and the quality of perception is very guaranteed.
From the preview to the release of this drama, why does it have such a good reputation, let's follow the plot and find out!
The male and female protagonists starred sweetly, and their acting skills soared!
The first act at the beginning of this drama is a professional and technical competition about "funeral".
Our male protagonist Chen Maidong (played by Li Xian) is a veteran body plastic surgeon.
Now he is as a judge teacher, scoring the students of this technology competition in the audience, and watching with a solemn expression how the students are dealing with the corpses!
As soon as the camera turned, in a hospital in Shanghai, our heroine Zhuang Jie (played by Zhou Yutong) was lying on the hospital bed and was hurriedly pushed to the operating room.
Zhuang Jie, who was a "social bandit" along the way, greeted the doctors and nurses passing by, and did not see the nervousness before the operation from his expression and mentality.
It turned out that this was a minimally invasive surgery to remove the gallbladder, and the heroine Zhuang Jie was also a medical device salesman in the hospital.
Not only do I usually get along with the doctors in the hospital, but I also do my sales work very well, and I live a very cheerful and transparent life.
However, the camera returned to Chen Maidong, who participated in the "funeral competition" at this time.
He had a serious face, and was wearing gloves on the stage, patiently explaining to the students the precautions of the body plastic surgeon in front of the body.
Compared with Zhuang Jie, who was born lively and cheerful, Chen Maidong's personality is slightly withdrawn, looking unruly and unapproachable.
Who would have thought that Chen Maidong, who participated in the competition, happened to meet Zhuang Jie on the high-speed train home.
What's more coincidental is that Zhuang Jie recognized Chen Maidong at a glance, so she stepped forward to take the initiative to talk, and the two of them knew each other in the first place!
It turned out that the two of them were high school classmates, and they were both from Nanfang Town, and they didn't have much communication with each other before, but they both knew each other.
Zhuang Jie had one leg amputated because of an accident when she was a child, and due to her physical disability, she was very inferior and withdrawn during high school.
However, Chen Maidong, who was a classmate, was a gangster who loved to fight and had a strange personality when he was in high school.
Both of them used to be in the same class, and because of the extremes of each other's personalities, there wasn't a lot of communication between the two.
But Zhuang Jie, as a disabled person, when she was bullied, it was Chen Maidong's sentence "crutches can also be used as weapons", which gave her a lot of encouragement.
Since then, Zhuang Jie has had a deep affection for Chen Maidong in her heart.
But due to academic reasons, Zhuang Jie said goodbye in her third year of high school, and the two have never been in touch since.
After so many years, the appearance of the two has changed a lot, but on the high-speed train, Zhuang Jie still recognized Chen Maidong at a glance.
Zhuang Jie, who was originally humble and withdrawn, turned into a social expert, desperately talking to Chen Maidong, but Chen Maidong became indifferent and withdrawn.
Perhaps because of the profession of a corpse plastic surgeon, or the baptism of the past events, Chen Maidong began to become physically and mentally lonely, and the living did not get close.
This time, Zhuang Jie was on paid leave, because of the operation, coupled with her outstanding performance, the company gave her a holiday and let her go home to recuperate.
On the other hand, the male protagonist Chen Maidong returned to the town after a business trip, because he himself worked in the town's funeral parlor and was a civil servant in the system, and he was very good.
Back in Nanfang Town, Chen Maidong's grandmother (played by Fang Fang) is hyping up the town to find a partner for her grandson.
And Zhuang Jie's mother Liao Tao (played by Liu Lin) saw her daughter who came home this time, and she was also heartbroken for her daughter's future development.
In this way, two high school classmates who are both in Nanfang Town, after returning to the town, under a coincidental encounter, constantly reminded the past of the two.
Over time, feelings developed for each other.
After the plot, the two began a love journey of crazy encounters, mutual acquaintances, and two-way redemption.
Although one of them is physically imperfect and the other has flaws in personality, they continue to know each other, find each other's shining points, attract each other, and heal each other's "imperfections" with love.
On the way to constantly understand the mystery of life and death, a sweet love story has begun!
The plot is healing, and the group portraits of the characters are very full!
It can be said that many of the storylines of this drama are very close to real life and very thought-provoking!
For example, Zhuang Jie's whole family member.
Because Zhuang Jie's father died early, Zhuang Jie's mother Liao Tao later married her father's comrade-in-arms Lao He, and gave birth to a daughter, He Yuanyuan.
In this way, Zhuang Jie and her mother and younger brother Zhuang Yan reunited with their stepfathers Lao He and He Yuan, and reformed a new family.
Moreover, the life of this reconstituted family is also very happy.
Zhuang Jie's mother Liao Tao is a knife-mouthed tofu-hearted woman, looking at Zhuang Yan and He Yuan who are greedy for fun and not doing their jobs, they love to talk a few more words, and the mood of Jackie Chan is like mothers who think about us everywhere in life.
Seeing that her daughter Zhuang Jie, although disabled, is self-reliant and self-reliant in Shanghai, and has also broken out of the world, I am sincerely proud.
Therefore, Zhuang Jie's mother Liao Tao often uses Zhuang Jie as an example to educate her younger brother Zhuang Yan.
But Zhuang Yan is more rebellious, he doesn't want to go to college, he just wants to learn to paint, and when he gets home from college vacation, he is arguing with his mother.
In a fit of anger, Zhuang Yan went to the lake to sketch, but when he saw a corpse floating on the water, he immediately called the police.
At this time, Chen Maidong in the town, as a person from the funeral home, came to the scene to collect the body as soon as possible, and met Zhuang Yan, who was not dying, and inquired and learned that he was Zhuang Jie's younger brother.
Seeing that a young man of his age died so young, Zhuang Yan was very depressed, and called his sister as soon as possible.
When her sister Zhuang Jie rushed to her younger brother's side, Zhuang Yan couldn't hold back anymore in front of her sister and Chen Maidong.
Then he questioned on the spot: "That young boy, his life has not yet begun, his dream has not yet been realized, he died like this, he was neither glorious when he was alive, nor did he stand a monument, soon, in this world, no one will remember him except his parents, what is the meaning of such a life?"
In fact, seeing this, I was really brought in by Zhuang Jie's brother's words.
Many times, I am also thinking about this question, people will experience life and death, so those who died young, did not achieve fame, did not experience life, they came to this world for a short time, what is the meaning of their lives?
Subsequently, Chen Maidong's words in the play brought a new understanding to my "view of death".
Chen Maidong said affectionately: "Death is the most powerless, but also the fairest, everyone's ashes weigh 1800g to 3100g, life will never be a hero by success or failure, as long as it exists, it is already meaningful."
Then Zhuang Jie said to his younger brother: "Haven't you heard a word? Sometimes, misfortune will also befall good people, just like my sister's broken leg, as long as we face the suffering, everything will survive, just like facing death, relatives must always survive, what we can do is to live stronger."
To be honest, it's been a long time since I've seen a drama that has such a deep explanation of death.
And this drama not only has a unique view of death, but also shows the blind date, fortune telling, life, work, development, family affection, and friendship that we encounter in our daily life.
Each plot of this drama has ulterior motives, and they are all healing, and the group portraits of the characters created are also very full.
It is really a rare masterpiece in recent years! It is worth taking a look at the impetuous people!
