The TV series "The Sea of Stars", starring Liu Tao and Lin Feng, is currently being broadcast, and the drama mainly tells the inspirational story of the heroine Jane Ai who came to Guangzhou, worked hard from a noodle shop handyman all the way to become the leader of a foreign trade company.
After watching the first episode, many viewers are very pitiful about Jane's tragic experience in childhood, she originally had a happy and warm home, but because of her mother's cheating, she lost her parents overnight and became an orphan.
And that was just the beginning of her tragedy.
After the parents left, the only relatives who were related to Jane Ai by blood were only aunt Jian Yanping, who initially did not want to raise Jane Ai and wanted to throw her to the welfare home, but because she coveted the house and passbook left by her brother, she changed her mind to take care of Jane Eyre.
Jian Yanping is the sister of Jane Eyre's father, Jane Daguo, she was widowed at an early age, a person pulled a pair of children, after deciding to take care of Jane Eyre, she took her son Amin and daughter Ajiao to live together.
Because of the cheating of her sister-in-law Liang Xiaoyan, Jian Yanping felt that she had betrayed her brother and was ungrateful, and she could not even like Jane with love.
After Amin came, the mother and son joined hands, occupied Jane's room, drove her to the leaky attic to live with Gillian, and tricked her into handing over the passbook.
When Jane Ai took out the passbook, she had said to her aunt Jian Yanping that she would keep the cost of going to college, and as a result, because Amin was always in trouble, the aunt was very spoiled for this son, and the family put a lot of money into it because of his affairs, including Jane Ai's college tuition.
In this way, Jane Eyre, who had excellent academic performance, missed the opportunity to go to college.
But Jane Ai did not give up the road to study, want to get a college diploma through self-examination, but at this time Amin caused trouble outside, smashed the game console of the family, and the boss came to the door to ask for compensation of 10,000 yuan.
Aunt Jian Yanping could not raise money, so she hit the idea on Jane Ai's head, sold Jane Ai to a family surnamed Liang, and made a daughter-in-law to an old and ugly man, and she could use this dowry money of 10,000 yuan to redeem her baby son.
Jane Ai could not have dreamed that her aunt would be so inhumane and take her as a commodity to trade, and after she escaped from the Liang family, she ran back home to question Jian Yanping.
Jian Yanping not only had no guilt, but beat a rake upside down, scolded Jane Ai for being ungrateful, and also slandered her dead mother, Jane Ai was angry but picked up the vase and smashed it on Jian Yanping's head, Jian Yanping fainted on the spot, and Jane Ai ran to Guangzhou by train for fear overnight.
Judging from this whole experience, Jane Eyre's fate is really tragic, but to say pity, from the following two points, cousin Gillian is actually even worse than her.
Ah Jiao was from the countryside, and the family at that time generally had the idea of preferring sons to daughters, at this point, Jian Yanping can be said to be eccentric to the extreme, and she only cares about her precious son, and it is difficult for her to get a trace of her mother's love.
Coupled with the fact that her father left early, it was not easy for Jian Yanping to raise two children as a widow, and Ah Jiao naturally had to help her with housework, and she didn't even think about going to school.
Jane Eyre is different, the same girl, before the death of her parents, she was a little princess living in a honeypot, a gentle and beautiful mother, and a father who hurt her to the extreme.
The warmth of home, the love of her parents, these are all things that Gillian did not have, and she did not even dare to think about it, at least Jane Ai once had.
The most tragic point about the character of Ah Jiao is not that she was born into a feudal family that favored sons over daughters, but that she compromised early on in her life full of suffering.
For her mother's eccentricity, Gillian never dared to complain about anything, and as the days passed, she became numb to this kind of life, and even subconsciously felt that it should be so.
Even if Jane Ai helped her go to school and got a high Chinese, the timidity and cowardice in Ah Jiao's bones were difficult to eradicate, and when she learned that her mother was arranging marriage for her and wanting to marry her to the countryside, she never wanted to resist.
If it was Ah Jiao who was brought to the Liang family, I am afraid that she would really admit her fate.
However, the fate of the character of Gillian in the later period should be reversed, after all, Jane Ai had agreed with her to go outside together to break in, and in the future, Jane Ai would grow up and should help Gillian.
