"The Cultivation of Ordinary Women 2": Women should never be defined

Recently watched a Taiwan drama, called "Ordinary Girl Cultivation 2", as long as it is a girl around me, I want to recommend it to her: you must go to see this drama.

After my two friends were appointed by me Amway, we often discussed the plot in the group.

I went home on National Day, and I also strongly asked my sister and I to brush again.

My sister said, "Haven't you seen it?" ”

Me: Yeah, but you haven't seen it, I'll brush it again with you.

I watched the first season of "The Cultivation of Ordinary Women" last year, and I was moved by the first season at that time, and recently watched the second season.

Let's start with the background of the film.

Adapted from the prose of the same name by Taiwanese writer Jiang Ge, "The Cultivation of Ordinary Women" is a TV series directed by Yan Yiwen and Chen Changlun and starring Xie Yingxuan, Wen Shenghao and others, and premiered on August 4, 2019.

The play tells the story of Chen Jialing, a 39-year-old from Tainan who studied and worked in Taipei, only to realize her failure. The story of how the seemingly failed "common girl" in the adult world was "healed" by her childhood, her family, and in the end, she was willing to reconcile with her "tacky" self.

At the beginning of the second season, it is said that what will happen next to the 40-year-old Chen Jialing.

The 40-year-old Chen Jialing returned to her hometown of Tainan from the Dragon Kingdom to start the second half of her life. The first thing to work on is to turn the bought haunted house into a home with your own hands. But at the beginning, there was a series of accidents, falling, being stung by bees, and entering the hospital in a wheelchair.

The new season sees how Chen Jialing used all her strength to start writing another chapter of her life.

Speaking of girls, I once read an article about a woman's life, which talked about a girl's process from birth to adulthood, how many years old to go to school, teenagers to fall in love, twenty years old to get married, and then have children, and then the rest of life revolves around the family and children.

In this process, the girl slowly changed from herself to someone's wife, someone's mother, someone's grandmother, but only lost herself.

What a girl should live like should never be defined. Before being wives, mothers, and so on, they are first of all "themselves", they can have their own hobbies, and they have the right to choose their lives freely.

What impressed me the most was the ninth episode, where Chen Jialing's grandmother was ready to move out.

The whole family boiled over, and they all felt that Grandma was going to divorce Grandpa, and the neighbor aunt also ran over to blame Grandma: You are so old, what else are you tossing!

It reminds people of a news before, an aunt retired after the national self-driving tour, some people on the Internet slammed why she did not take her grandchildren, why not responsibly abandon the family and leave.

In fact, this aunt and grandma are very similar, they have been tied to the role of "wife" and "mother" all their lives, and they have been trapped in a world all their lives, and even their original appearance is almost forgotten.

In my opinion, Grandma is already very good, compared to Chen Jialing's mother, she understands better what she does not want. I think that moving out to live may be thought of by many people, but very few people actually do it. Because everyone is afraid, afraid of the world's gaze, afraid of the prejudice of public opinion. See, this is the worldly and moral bondage to women – how can you leave the family as a married woman?

And, the sentence "After marriage, there is still the original home", Grandma and Grandpa have completely different reactions, this sentence is a pun. When grandma was a little girl, she still liked to eat slightly softer tomato fried rice, but after getting married, in order to adapt to everyone's taste, they all cooked slightly harder fried rice.

"Grandma, I have been Chen Li Yueying for too long, and I occasionally want to be Li Yueying back."

"I just want to leave for a while, there, not my wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandma, just sit quietly and comfortably in the courtyard to eat my favorite cream cake, listen to the wind chimes in the courtyard Li Yueying." 」
