It is said that the stepmother is ruthless, but this matter has to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. In the drama "New Life", a small group of people had to take the exam as a last resort, but they wanted to take revenge on their stepmother's family. A family war just started like that, and there were so many details that it was dazzling. Let's lift the veil of mystery together and see what mysteries are hidden underneath.
In a small town in the north, family conflicts can often be as bitter as the cold wind, especially for children with complex family backgrounds. The TV series "New Life" revolves around such a background.
It is said that this protagonist, a young man with a withdrawn personality, grew up in the shadow of his stepmother since he was a child. This stepmother, who smiled at him on the surface, was making things difficult everywhere behind his back, making him feel unprecedented pressure and loneliness. In his heart, he has long lost his sense of belonging to this so-called "home".
Time has come to the eve of the college entrance examination, which is a major event related to his future. But at this juncture, his stepbrother, who was not very motivated, actually approached him and made an outrageous request - to take the exam for him. It turned out that although the stepbrother is usually cynical, he attaches great importance to the results of the college entrance examination, because it is related to whether he can inherit the family's property.
And his father inadvertently reveals a secret during a quarrel - all this is planned by the stepmother in order to get all the benefits for his own son and completely exclude the protagonist from the family. He thoroughly understood his place in the family.
A mixture of anger and helplessness drove him to a decision – he accepted the request for a substitute exam, but not to help his stepbrother, but for a larger plan. On the day of the exam, he deliberately answered all the questions incorrectly, which not only disappointed his stepbrother, but also taught his stepmother's family a profound lesson.
This scene was inadvertently seen by an invigilator in the examination room, and in addition to being shocked, he decided to make this matter public, so there is this "family war" we see now. On the Internet, people are talking about this, and some people feel that the protagonist is too impulsive, after all, it is related to his own future; Others see it as a way for him to fight injustice and oppression.
Later, he began to re-evaluate his life and values, trying to find his true path. This incident also made his stepmother and father begin to reflect on their attitudes and behaviors towards family members. Although the conflict was not resolved immediately, at least the problem was put on the table, and it was no longer in the state of being hidden and ignored.
And this whole incident is also like a mirror, reflecting similar problems within many families. It not only reveals the personal struggle of a young man, but also touches the society's deep reflection on the complex relationship between family relationships, family obligations and personal growth.
After this, although the protagonist goes through an extremely difficult period, including the repair of his relationship with his family, the reaffirmation of his identity, etc., these experiences undoubtedly make him grow into a more mature and rational person.
He begins to realize that while some battles may seem pointless, it is these challenges that have shaped his personality and taught him how to find himself in complex relationships.
People have mixed evaluations of the protagonist's actions, with some arguing that his actions, while impulsive, are in some ways a reasonable response to injustice. Others believe that this approach is too extreme and could have unforeseen negative consequences for their future.
For the protagonist, although he expresses his dissatisfaction and protest in this way, he also knows that the real way to solve the problem should not be evasion or revenge. Through this incident, he learned more about how to face difficulties, how to adjust his attitudes and methods, and how to find his true self in complex social relationships.
Although the process is fraught with challenges and pain, it is also an important opportunity for family members to rebuild relationships and grow personally. Gradually, there is more dialogue and understanding between family members, albeit slowly, but in a healthier direction.
