Recently, the drama "Faint Fire" has been very popular on Youku, and the performances of the leading actors Tong Yao and Zhang Xincheng are particularly eye-catching. Nanya, played by Tong Yao, finally fought back and killed her husband because of long-term domestic violence on Millennium Night. Nanya's subsequent actions, including turning herself in and confronting gossip in the town, show her complex and strong character.
Nanya's act caused a lot of discussion in the town. The people of the town don't have a friendly view of Nanya. Especially some aunts, they often get together on the street to discuss Nanya's every move.
They commented on Nanya's dress, and even maliciously speculated that the clothes sold in the clothing store she opened were the type of clothes only worn by "stealing" women.
On one occasion, the two aunts were particularly excited to talk about Nanya and Xu Yi (Nanya's husband's friend) while they were burning their hair on the side of the road.
said that Xu Yi's good brother took his wife to Nanya's store to buy clothes, and Nanya took the opportunity to hold hands with this man, which made the aunts very dissatisfied, and even compared Nanya to "Pan Jinlian's reincarnation".
Just as their discussion was in full swing, Nanya happened to come back from the market. Although the aunts greeted each other on the surface, they still commented on the fresh fruits and vegetables she was carrying in a weird manner, saying that these must have been sent by Lao Liu, who sold fruits, and Lao Liu usually even gave away coriander.
Although Nanya doesn't seem to care on the surface, she is by no means an easily angry person. She cleverly took advantage of the opportunity to pick up fruit, so that one of the aunts' skirt accidentally hung on the nail on the bench next to her.
When Nanya left, when the aunt got up, because the skirt was hooked, the whole skirt fell off, which made her embarrassed on the street.
The whole incident shows how Nanya fights the gossip in the small town. Her actions, though seemingly calm, are in fact full of confrontational wisdom, which is one of the ways she has dealt with her unhappy marriages in the past.
Nanya's actions are not only a defense of personal dignity, but also a counterattack to those groundless speculations and evil ideologies. The town's reaction in Nanya's case also shows a community's attitude towards "different" or "rebellious" behavior.
Their judgment of Nanya is not entirely based on facts, but is a mixture of traditional ideas and personal biases. Although Nanya's behavior is fierce, she chooses to confront these criticisms head-on, showing her determination not to give in.
