I'm a big beauty.
Today I watched a movie called "I've Lived My Life Like This." This movie is just like its name, just like this, after a lifetime, there is no big reversal, just an ordinary life of a woman.
Not every woman has made as great a contribution to the cause of human liberation as Marie Curie. As long as you stand close to the end line of life, look back on all the past experiences, do not regret the wasted years, and do not be ashamed of doing nothing, it is also considered a success.
The tour guide for "I've Lived My Life Like This" was directed by Taiwanese tour guide Zhang Yi and was released in 1985. Zhang Yi won the Golden Horse Award for Best Director that year with "I Lived My Life Like This".
The heroine Gui mei came to Taiwan alone from Nanjing. She had come to look for her fiancé, but she was temporarily staying at her cousin's house because she had no one to rely on. When Guimei first appeared, it was in the back kitchen of her cousin's house, her nephew asked her to go out on a blind date, while Guimei was still in the kitchen, pouring water, carrying briquettes, and putting water bottles without hurry, the camera slowly pushed closer to her, for more than a minute, the long shot truly recorded Guimei's living conditions, and also revealed her good qualities of hard work and virtuousness.
Gui mei helps work at her cousin's house, and her cousin is also very kind to her at first, and Gui Mei eats their family and lives in their house. Even guimei helps her cousin's house every day, cleaning and cooking. But after a long time, the cousin will inevitably be unwilling.
One day, her cousin introduced Gui mei to the object, this man is Hou Yongnian, a middle-aged man abandoned by his wife. Guimei may not have wanted to have anything to do with him at first, but when she heard her cousin complain to her about Guimei at night, Guimei also felt that it was not a way to stay in this place anymore, so she went to the door to ask Hou Yongnian if she could be together.
Gui mei came to Hou Yongnian's house and saw their three children: two sons and a daughter. Daughter Zhengfang saw that Guimei was very annoying and did not give her a good face. Gui mei told Hou Yongnian about her situation, that she had a fiancé before, saying that she was not the first time. Ask Hou Yongnian if he would like to.
Seeing this, I was a little angry at Guimei's indisputable anger, why Hou Yongnian has three children you don't hate, but also to say that it is not the first time, this is not to abuse yourself. Also, don't be someone else's stepmother, this is to find yourself a bitter food. You take care of other people's children, some people will say that you are nosy, and children will not like you. You don't care, if the child learns badly, others will blame you for not doing a good job as a stepmother. It's not human inside or out anyway.
But Guimei didn't think much of it, and still married Hou Yongnian. After marriage, Hou Yongnian was also very kind to Guimei and very gentle. Just a little bad, like to gamble. Gui mei's persuasion was useless. Until Gui mei became pregnant, Hong Yongnian had been gambling. He also gambled on the money that Gui mei borrowed from her pregnancy to give birth to the child.
Gui mei went to give an umbrella to Hou Yongnian in the restaurant on a rainy night, and the chef was kind enough to pack the leftover food for Gui Mei to eat, which was not good for face. Gui mei just threw the food in the trash on the way back. Hou Yongnian went home and wanted to order a little wine, but when Hou Yongnian asked Guimei to take out the food that the chef gave him hot and drink. Gui Mei brought out her own food. Hou Yongnian lost his temper at that time, slapped the table and said, "As far as you are noble, you are noble and have not married me." Gui mei said: "I just want to eat what others have left when we still have to eat." ”
When you see this you must think back, if it were I would have quickly divorced this man. There are no big ambitions, and there are bad habits of gambling. Will not consider the problem from the perspective of the wife, angry at Gui Mei... This kind of bad deed can be said to be a standard scumbag now, and it is too late to leave quickly. But how can we use our current thinking to evaluate people's behavior more than a decade ago, this is not right, because the times are different.
Now people will throw away the broken chair and buy a new one, and buying a new chair is much less wasted than repairing the chair. This is achieved on the basis of advanced science and technology. But we can't ask the former people to buy new chairs when they are broken, which is impossible to achieve in the era when they may not have enough to eat.
In such an environment, a pair of twins in Guimei's belly were born. In the eyes of ordinary people, twins should be a thing worth enviing, but the family is not so happy. Hou Yongnian was originally working as a chores in a restaurant, but was fired by the boss for gambling, the family had no source of income, and the burden of five children was on Gui mei's body.
When someone came to collect debts, Gui mei decided to make a change, just when her cousin said that there was a person in Japan who was allowed to bring two children. Gui mei said that all five were her children, and she wanted to bring them. It can be seen how kind Guimei is. She regarded Hou Yongnian's children as her own and refused to leave.
Gui mei had to make a decision, and she couldn't bear to put her newborn son in Taiwan. Gui Mei and Hou Yongnian brought their eldest son and twin daughter to Japan.
Gui mei left her newborn son and cried bitterly in the middle of the night
In Japan, Guimei whispered tea and poured water, so after six years, life was stable, although she said to work for Chinese, but seeing the hostess's cold words and sarcasm, Guimei decided to leave.
Gui mei found a hotel to work, every day tired and tired work, although a hundred times more tired than before as a maid, but also earned more money. The eldest son did not want to study, so Guimei sent her to learn to cook.
Gui mei and her husband Hou Yongnian were fed up with working in Japan and decided to return to China to open their own shop. Guimei has the experience of working in a hotel, and the hotel is opened. But the good times did not last long, and Hou Yongnian had money and began to gamble again.
On a stormy night, Hou Yongnian did not come home at night and slept with a woman playing mahjong.
Guimei's home was flooded by heavy rain, and she was cleaning up in the morning. Hou Yongnian went home, and Guimei seemed to find out, like a gamble, using a broom to sweep the water on Hou Yongnian's body. After a year, the little third actually brought his daughter who was born with Hou Yongnian to the hotel to find Guimei. Gui mei also lost her temper with Hou Yongnian that night. Left home.
But how could being a mother really leave home. Gui mei's home and restaurant were simply a mess and a mess away from home for a few days. How can a home without a woman be well organized. Gui mei finally reluctantly gave up the child and forgave Hou Yongnian.
At this time, the eldest daughter Zhengfang was bumped into by Guimei when she fell in love, and Gui meimei wanted to talk to her in a good voice, but Zhengfang was very resistant, saying that they had not cared about what she was doing now for so many years. Gui Mei did not ask again.
Zhengfang was soon discovered to be pregnant. The father was furious and beat up his daughter violently, but did he not think that he had also made other people's stomachs bigger outside? The boy's family said that the child was still small and suggested beating the child in the stomach. Gui mei does not want others to know that her daughter is pregnant and poked in the spine, saying that Zhengfang is talking about playing. Afterwards, he took Zhengfang to secretly beat up the child.
After perhaps these experiences, Zhengfang matured a lot and understood Guimei's intentions.
Gui Mei is getting older and she is found to have uterine cancer. Folk say that gentle people are prone to cancer, and probably have to bear it themselves.
All the children came to the hospital to see Guimei, they went to the university to take the entrance examination, got married, and Guimei raised five children with her own strength, which was really remarkable.
After Guimei was hospitalized, the hotel was taken care of by Zhengfang, and the children said that no one took care of the hotel after that, and his father was old and wanted to sell the hotel. But his father said that as long as he lived, he would not talk about selling restaurants. Since Hou Yongnian cheated, he has not committed any more crimes and has not gambled. She also took care of Guimei every day, and finally, Guimei spent a peaceful old age.
At the end, Guimi and Zhengfang chat, who is older but has never been married. Maybe Zhengfang saw that her mother worked so hard as if she didn't want to get married for herself all her life, and the real reason is unknown.
I think that everyone will make mistakes, it may be Hou Yongnian's temper with his wife, it may be his bad habit of gambling when he was young, or it may be that Zhengfang does not understand Guimei's targeting of her. But only Gui mei is willing to look at their nature with her gentle heart. After all, not everyone in life is a great saint, and no mistakes can be made. Guimei finally reaped everything she deserved, would you want such an ordinary life?
