Online shopping for a set of old Taiwan drama "Half Life and One Life", although watching 40 episodes today has dog blood and procrastination, it is also a precious memory of Taiwan drama. The struggle of Li Xiuru in the feudal family has a microcosm of the rise of feminism, but the story is far less romantic than the title, condensing all kinds of darkness before and after the anti-Japanese resistance!
Beautiful girls marry into the rich, and since then live a happy life of princes and princesses, often Taiwanese idol drama design, but this drama is the opposite. In this play, adapted from the novel of the same name by Lin Xiaojun, one of the four little flower dans of Taiwanese writers, Li Xiuru of Xianliang Shude married into a feudal magnate, but instead ushered in misfortune and bitterness.
The opening song is "We Sit Face to Face" sung by Wang Xiuru and Lu Kongsheng, and the ending song is Wang Xiuru's "Can't Help But Look Back" that fits the situation of the heroine Li Xiuru: although she is a strange woman who dares to be bold in the show, she is too strong in the face of things, and it is always difficult to be honest with her mother-in-law, husband and adopted daughter.
A couple who are married because of free love on campus, but with their wives infertile, the mother-in-law forces the male protagonist to marry the second and third rooms, and repeatedly causes accidents. Similar to Zhang Zifeng's "My Sister", the Guo family is also a feudal family, in order to pass on the succession of sons, forced Guo Shihao to marry a new daughter-in-law, but how can the original Li Xiuru give up?
From the time she ran away from home and was forcibly pulled back, it proved that she was not a person with a broad heart like Empress Fucha in the "Yanxi Raiders". The mother-in-law went to the fortune teller that her daughter-in-law had hit the Kefke family, and it was difficult for her to return. Zhao Dahai, the brother of the second room Zhao Meijuan, is a hooligan and colludes with his eldest cousin to open a casino to circle money. Li Xiuru even wanted to take care of this, causing trouble!
When the little wife Zhao Meijuan was dying in childbirth, the family actually did not know how to send western medical hospitals, and the educated Li Xiuru could only force them to send them. With loyalty and responsibility, she shared the worries and difficulties of her husband and family, but in exchange for her husband's betrayal (concubine) and the jealousy of her mother-in-law, she was forced to run away under the treacherous schemes of the villain.
After all, it is a soap old drama, which traps people for tricks, and looks slightly pediatric in today's flood of house fighting dramas. Zhang Daosheng and Zhao Dahai, the two major villains of the female number one, the trick is nothing more than stealing jade pei to marry her for cheating. The third aunt's wife also took advantage of the drunkenness of male number one, and actually climbed into bed to dedicate herself, forcing the other party to marry herself into the rich.
After resisting the blows of the feudal stubborn forces, Li Xiuru was determined to support a group of orphans who had been abandoned, and assumed the responsibility of an orphanage, which showed that she was kind and pursued. The correspondence is her husband's cowardice and incompetence, so he listens to rumors and beats up his wife. He also mistakenly married his new daughter-in-law Qiaojiao, and got a bad woman who loved to make trouble.
Entering the anti-Japanese period, this drama appears darker and more cruel. The eldest cousin Zhang Daosheng was thrown out of the Door by the Guo family after the crime was exposed, and he returned to kidnap Guo Shihao and forced his uncle to pay a ransom. Female student Hui Qin only saved the anti-Japanese activist Li Ruicheng, her parents were killed, and she was also raped by Zhang Daosheng, which was too tragic!
The male protagonist Guo Shihao was kidnapped to the Japanese military police department, and the little wife Qiaojiao gave up the child, stole the ransom with her parents, and flew away, so that the plot entered a white-hot stage. If it weren't for Zhu Xiba's father who led the team to rescue him, or if Zhang Daosheng hadn't temporarily released Guo Shihao and given him a pass, the Guo family would have basically been abolished.
Later in the story, there is a bit of a pull with dog blood, Zhang Daosheng did bad things when he was a traitor, just because he helped Zhu Xiba to be intercede, only sentenced to two years, too light! Guo Shihao took his children to find his wife, and actually went to secretly work hard to carry sandbags, and died of exhaustion; his son Changsheng and his mother-in-law listened to Zhang Daosheng's rumors, and they were deceived into taking away the family's wealth, which was even more ridiculous.
XiaoJuan is the female number one in the last few episodes, she is rebellious and lazy, and she also loves vanity. Because of the failure of her love, she blamed her adoptive mother and ran away from home. Xiao Juan went outside to work, unable to escape the bad luck of being occupied by bad people, she also witnessed her uncle killing people to threaten, and finally she stole the deed of sale and was hunted down, and her adoptive mother was shot and injured.
Li Xin, who plays Hong Biying, should be the most brilliant supporting role in the play. She is cute, kind, and has a conscience, but she married the wrong bad langjun. For the bad husband Zhang Daosheng stole the jade pendant, but also eloped and defected together, did not expect that in the end her husband actually used her as a hostage shield, how can there be no infighting? Li Ruicheng also took the machine gun to kill the villain, and the revenge was repaid!
At that time, Jiao Enjun was still a handsome little fresh meat that had just debuted, Lan Jieying, Liang Peiyu, Di Ying, Yao Wei and other beautiful women were also very good-looking, and Yang Qinghuang was also very bookish and handsome, which was filmed by the team of Li Chaoyong, director of the 91st edition of "Flying Fox on the Snow Mountain" and "Tang Taizong Li Shimin", whose ambitions spanned decades in the Republic of China and were extremely popular after being broadcast in the mainland.
Lan Jieying played a Chinese "Nala" in the play, but she eventually opened an orphanage and the reunion ended. Outside the play, Lan Jieying has been banned three times for not wanting to be unspoken rules, unwilling to renew the contract, and opposing the wireless, so she only turned to the Taiwan show business circle in 1989 to take over the play, and did not expect to make a preview and preparation for her role in "Big Time" Luo Huiling.
During the filming of "Half Life and One Life", Taiwanese actress Di Ying used Lan Jieying's big name as an excuse to punch and kick her in front of the crew of actors, and the depressed Lan Jieying was kicked in the abdomen, and she did not dare to fight back, which is also a big funny story. Di Ying's beating of people is definitely not right, but Lan Jieying is obviously a problem in the show business circle.
Lan Jieying in life is similar to Li Xiuru who left home in "Half Life and One Life", also because of her stubborn personality, low emotional intelligence, unsociable and other issues, coupled with being tragically ruined by some bad people, and finally left the showbiz circle that had struggled and created a peak. She died young with a seriously ill body and a humiliating experience!
Leave this slightly dog-blooded Taiwan drama to warn you that in the chaotic world, the family thief is more difficult to defend than the foreign enemy, and the work and communication in life should not be too strong! Even if you are like Li Xiuru, who has experienced hundreds of disasters, you must be tenacious and break through adversity!
