Lin Jiawen took the toll count ticket from the hand of the truck driver Wang Zhihao, and suddenly a gust of wind blew through, scraping the ticket away.
After Zhihao's car drove away, Jiawen immediately went to find the return ticket. She chased the number of votes that were blown by the wind all the way, and after catching up, she bent down to pick it up, but found that there was nothing written on it, and she turned it over and looked at it several times.
Suddenly, Jiawen realized that she had lost something, and she suddenly panicked, and then squatted on the ground and cried bitterly.
Zhan Jinglin's film "The Island of Rivers" was broadcast in Taiwan on April 29, 2016. The film tells about two loves, one is the innocent love of adolescence, the other is the love between adults with a lot of things, and finally both loves end without a problem.
The film won many awards, such as the best actor award at the 11th FIRST Youth Film Festival, the best actress award at the 19th Taipei Film Festival, and the New Director of the Year Award at the 12th Chinese Youth Film Forum.
01, 16-year-old Yan Chao and female classmates secretly tasted the forbidden fruit
Jia Wen is a toll collector on Taiwan's national highway, and after a divorce a few years ago, she has been alone with her son Fu Yanchao, and life is not easy. Now 16-year-old Yan Chao is in middle school, his personality is very rebellious, and mother and son have almost no communication, because once they communicate, there will be conflicts.
On this day, Jiawen was playing badminton with her colleagues after work, when she suddenly received a call from the school, saying that Yan Chao had run into trouble. Jia Wen hurried to school and learned that Yan Chao had sex with her female classmate Yali. Jia Wen couldn't believe that in her eyes, her son was still a child!
Yali's father gave Jiawen a choice, either to send Yanchao to prison or to compensate 800,000 Taiwan dollars. He also said that his family did not lack the money, but he wanted to teach Jia Wen and Yan Chao a lesson.
Jiawen has no choice but to compensate 800,000 yuan, and she begs Yali's father to forgive her for some days, and she must raise money. 800,000 is nothing to the rich and powerful Yali family, but for Jiawen, a single mother, it is a huge amount of money, and she feels breathless.
The life of middle-aged people is a chicken feather, and the heavy pressure makes many middle-aged people breathless. Jiawen, who is divorced in middle age, raises her son alone, and her income is not high, so the pressure is even greater. Now that she has to pay a lot of extra money, Jiawen doesn't know what to do?
02, Jiawen is facing huge compensation at the same time, but also facing the imminent unemployment
In the evening, when Jiawen was worried about the compensation payment, Yan Chao did not think so. Jia Wen was very angry and asked her son why he was so angry? Yan Chao felt that his mother insulted his relationship with Yali, they really loved each other, and his mother could not measure his feelings with money, and he said with a straight face: he could take responsibility.
When they were young, many boys made mistakes of youthful madness, and Yan Chao was the same. He thought that with his true love for Yali, he could bear everything, but in fact he could bear what? He even depends on others to support himself.
Jiawen called her ex-husband, who had remarried, and the phone was answered by the remarried wife. The woman didn't ask, scolded Jiawen for disturbing their rest, and then hung up the phone. Later, Jiawen contacted her ex-husband again, but the ex-husband did not pull out a dime.
At this time, the unit announced that it would change from manual charging to full electronic charging, that is, Jiawen and more than 900 toll collectors were about to lose their jobs, which was really worse for Jiawen.
Misfortune is not alone, blessing is not double, sometimes trouble finds the door, drinking cold water will plug teeth. A single mother, facing unemployment when facing huge compensation, and her son still confronts her everywhere, this collapse is only known to those who have experienced it.
Middle age is the most burdensome age in life, there are old people, there are small ones, everyone has to rely on you, but you can't rely on anyone. Middle-aged people living at the bottom of society always do their best to live and strive to cope with the various tests of life.
03, in order to compensate for the huge amount of money, Jiawen betrayed herself
In order to raise money, Jiawen went everywhere to borrow money, but others were afraid that she could not afford it and was reluctant to lend it to her. She had no choice but to take the risk, using counterfeit money instead of real money when charging, and secretly saving some money.
The truck driver Zhihao discovered Jiawen's little trick, but he did not puncture it, he was still as hippie and smiling as before. Every time he gave Jiawen a number of votes, he always wrote love words and expressed his love to Jiawen.
Zhihao felt that Jiawen must have encountered difficulties, so he told Jiawen that if there was difficulty, he could find him and he would help.
Zhihao has always been a hanger and is very out of tune, so jiawen usually does not pay attention to him. But now that Jiawen is cornered, she can only turn to Zhihao, who offers to make Jiawen his girlfriend.
A deal was reached between Jiawen and Zhihao, and every time Jiawen accompanied Zhihao to sleep, Zhihao paid her ten thousand yuan. This is a kind of deal for Jiawen, but for Zhihao, it is love, and he has been in love with Jiawen for a long time.
In order not to let her son go to prison, Jiawen sold her body, which is the last thing she can sell. But where there is still a way, what woman is willing to do this? Mother's love is great because of its selfless dedication and sacrifice, for the mother the child is everything.
04, after Yan Chao lost love, he especially longed for his father's love
The mother is working hard, but the son is not worried. Many adolescent children, like Yan Chao, let their parents their hearts.
When Jia Wen was busy at work, Yan Chao skipped school, and Jia Wen could not leave, so she could only ask for help from Zhi Hao. Zhihao agreed to it in one bite, just like he had a beautiful job, and then drove to yanchao. When Zhihao found Yan Chao, he wanted to teach him a lesson for Jia Wen and let him cause less trouble for Jia Wen, but Yan Chao directly called the police.
When Jia Wen rushed to the police station, she was very angry, but Yan Chao still looked disapproving.
After this incident, Yan Chao and Zhi Hao knew each other, and the appearance of Zhi Hao made Yan Chao, who lacked his father's love, feel strange. A few days later, Zhihao drives to the school to pick up Yan chao, who is chasing Yali on the road, and he wants to confess his love to Yali. Zhihao immediately let Yan Chao get into the car, and then took him to chase Yali.
With the help of Zhihao, Yan Chao catches up with Yali and has the opportunity to talk to Yali alone. But Yali rejected Yan Chao's love, and when Yan Chao returned to Zhihao,he felt very sad. Zhihao took the lovelorn Yan Chao into his arms and comforted him like a father, and Yan Chao cried bitterly.
In the process of a person's growth, there will always be various setbacks, and it is precisely because of these setbacks that talents will gradually mature. Both father and mother are indispensable to a child. Fathers have the benefits of fathers, mothers have benefits of mothers, and they work together so that children can grow up smoothly.
05, Jia Wen unconsciously fell in love with Zhihao
When Zhihao sent Yanchao home, Jiawen had already prepared a meal. The three of them, like a family, sat together and ate, and the atmosphere was a little weird, but it was still very warm.
The next day, Zhihao takes Jiawen and Yanchao to a picnic, and Zhihao and Yanchao are like father and son. Jia Wen looked at this scene a little confused, she and Zhihao were together for money, but now she felt a little changed. She secretly thought that if her life continued like this, it would actually be very good.
A few days later, Zhihao took Jiawen to a nightclub to play, and when Zhihao sang with other women, Jiawen was very unhappy. She quarreled with people and broke their heads. Zhihao felt very strange, he didn't know what was wrong with Jiawen? In fact, Jia Wen was jealous.
The original family has a great influence on a person, Zhihao and Yanchao have similarities, they both grew up in an incomplete family, their hearts are full of love, and they also long for the love of others, but they do not deal with love and express love.
Yan Chao came into contact with love prematurely during adolescence, so that he suffered setbacks and left his mother with huge reparations. Zhihao is obviously deeply in love with Jiawen, but he is with Jiawen in the form of payment, and his love is cloaked in the cloak of trading.
06, Yan Chao scolded her mother for being a cheap woman
Zhihao was not a big money, he paid Jiawen again and again, and his brother couldn't bear it. Because his money was given by his brother, Zhihao's parents died when he was very young, and he was raised by his brother.
Zhihao went to drive a truck, in fact, he couldn't make a few dollars, he went to drive a truck so that he could see Jiawen. When his brother saw that he didn't make much money, he subsidized him, but he spent all the money on Jiawen, and his brother was very angry and stopped giving him money.
Zhihao goes to Jiawen and says that he has no money to give Jiawen anymore, and he hopes that Jiawen can say that it doesn't matter, they can continue to be together. Ke Jiawen was still angry about what happened in the nightclub, so she quarreled with Zhihao and picked up the things around her to beat Zhihao. Zhihao naturally thought that it was because he had no money that Jiawen did this to him.
Yan Chao was still sad in his heart because of the loss of love, and now he was even more annoyed when he heard his mother in the next room playing Zhihao. Yan Chao rushed into his mother's room and scolded her mother for being a cheap woman.
In order to prevent her son from going to prison, the mother betrayed herself, but the son said that she was a cheap woman, which made the mother feel embarrassed? The son is not ugly to the mother, and in the face of selfless maternal love, the son is not qualified to insult the mother. It is easy for young people to rush to the meeting, and it is easy to say nothing, but there must be no bottom line.
07, Jia Wen missed true love and cried bitterly
Zhihao beats Up Yan Chao, and he does not allow Yan Chao to speak ill of Jia Wen. Jia Wen was distressed about her son, and when she saw Zhihao beating Yan Chao, she was even more angry. Zhihao then asked Jiawen, "Are you really only with me because of money?" ”
Jiawen, who was angry, blurted out, "Yes! After listening to these two words, Zhihao was disappointed, and then turned and left.
In the evening, a farewell ceremony was held in Jiawen's unit, and everyone drank. Zhihao called Jiawen, and Jiawen did not answer the phone because she was drunk, and Zhihao took it for granted that she refused.
The next day, Zhihao once again drove the truck past the toll point where Jiawen was located. This time, he no longer smiled and smiled, and he no longer talked to Jiawen without words. After he gave Jiawen a few votes, he quickly drove away without looking at Jiawen more.
After Jiawen took the count vote, she accidentally fell to the ground, and then the count ticket was blown away by a gust of wind. Jia Wen went to chase, and when she picked up the number of votes, she found that there were no love words written by ZhiHao on it. After Jia Wen realized that she had lost Zhihao, she squatted on the ground and cried bitterly.
Later, Jia Wen took Yan Chao to find Yali's father, and finally paid off the 800,000.
Love is encounterable and unattainable, sometimes you are bent on longing for love, just like Zhihao, but love does not take care of you. And when you don't want love, love has quietly arrived, just like Jiawen. Ke Jiawen did not grasp the love, Zhihao had obviously obtained love, but he himself did not know, and the last two people who loved each other lost each other.
epilogue:
Yan Chao and Zhihao both grew up in incomplete original families, so they both have some problems with them, and they can't even love, because the original family lacks love and doesn't teach them how to love.
Parents, for the sake of their children, they should manage their marriage well, and do not divorce without moving. Divorce produces far more negative problems than positive problems, especially for adolescent children, and the impact will be particularly large, and some even affect their lives.
On the endless highway, the toll point is like a small island, and Jiawen in the small island is already middle-aged. She was not married, was about to lose her job, her rebellious son was still causing her trouble, and she felt helpless. So when love came to her, she couldn't catch it, and when she missed it, she realized what she had lost.
It is not easy to live for everyone, and only with a persistent heart can we cope with the various storms of life.
