In 2012, there was a TV series starring Xu Zheng called "Big Man Gets Married".
The plot is both realistic and has some humorous sitcom sense, and although the time has passed 9 years, it truly reflects the problems faced by older leftover men.
Cao Xiaoqiang, 35, a sales executive at a children's food company, owns a suite in Beijing, and his monthly salary is barely enough to make ends meet in addition to paying off his mortgage. He was busy with work every day and remained single to this day.
His mother urged him to quickly find a partner to marry, and even came from his hometown to supervise him, and his father also introduced him to the daughter of his old comrade-in-arms.
He also experienced the blind date of the community, and he also met several goddesses, but the results were all failures.
The last goodbye to his first love made him completely desperate, it was unforgettable pain, and finally he could only cry with his mother, and no one could pay attention to his complicated feelings at this time.
When he packed up his mood and worked hard, and finally achieved a perfect transformation and was upgraded to the manager of the new supermarket, his life came to the peak.
On the opening day, when he was preparing to take photos of employees, a voice came from behind him: Cao Xiaoqiang.
He first flinched for a few seconds, then slowly turned back, from expressionless to knowing smile, indicating that he was "a bit surprised."
At the moment when Cao Xiaoqiang turned back, he thought of many people, but he did not think that it would be her, so who was this "she"?
According to the storyline in the TV series, the last woman named Cao Xiaoqiang should be "Zhao Kai".
From the time Cao Xiaoqiang attended the wedding, on the day of people's great joy, there were girls in tears, which made him feel inexplicable. Then when I went to the hospital to see a doctor, I met her again, and this time I knew that her name was Zhao Kai.
After almost every blind date or chance encounter, he can meet Zhao Kai, and the two later became friends because of real CF.
Cao Xiaoqiang regarded Zhao Kai as a female man, just like a buddy; and Zhao Kai did not see Cao Xiaoqiang as a man, just a friend, and in her eyes it was more about work.
In the middle, they also tried to communicate, but they couldn't find that feeling.
The funniest thing is in the scene at the resort, where the two try to kiss, but they laugh frequently, or feel that something is missing, and finally the two break up because of an argument.
So why did Zhao Kai go to Cao Xiaoqiang in the end?
Zhao Kai uses work to find excitement and get rid of troubles, while Cao Xiaoqiang enjoys the joy of life outside of work.
Their original contradiction was that "work and life cannot be coordinated", and both people are single, do not consider where their problems are, always "self-centered", and the result is that they become quarrels until they break up.
After Cao Xiaoqiang's promotion, only Zhao Kai knew about his recent situation, because they were in the same city and the distance was not far.
At this time, Zhao Kai also realized her own problem, she congratulated Cao Xiaoqiang as a friend this time, coupled with his professional personality, so she directly blurted out Cao Xiaoqiang's name.
Although no clear answer was given in the end, a message was prompted from beginning to end: Zhao Kai and Cao Xiaoqiang met by chance, and then met and knew each other, and the two people went from friends to lovers.
Many times, we ignore the people around us, and our eyes are placed in the distance, because everyone is too familiar with each other, really talk about love, marriage, it will feel too embarrassing, even do not know what to do, walking together is not like a couple, holding hands is like dragging a child.
At the moment when Cao Xiaoqiang turned back, he thought of Gu Qing, because it was the first woman who made his heart move; he also thought of Xu Ruoyun, because it was the first time he experienced sadness; and he also thought of Liu Chenxi, because this was his first love, which made him feel at home.
But he did not expect that the last person to come was actually Zhao Kai, Cao Xiaoqiang was tired, and finally opened his smile, although it was not the three women he was expecting, but Zhao Kai was the right person.
An open-ended ending, triggering everyone's associations, and the central idea of this film is only one sentence: cherish the people who are related!
