How long a person's life is, how long is the housework that cannot be done, and how short a person's life is, so short that you have never seen the person you want to see the most.
Directed by Zhang Yi and starring Yang Huishan, Li Liqun and Liu Ming, the film "I Lived My Life Like This" was released in Taiwan in 1985 with a Douban score of 8.4.
The film is adapted from Xiao Sa's novel "Xiafei House".
The film won the Best Director Award, Best Film Award, Best Actress Award, Best Adapted Screenplay Award, Best Art Design Award, and Best Costume Design Award at the 22nd Taiwan Golden Horse Awards.
Every shot of the film is full of scenes of life, making people feel so real, as if thousands of women like Guimei tell us about those ordinary and great lives.
The heroine Guimei married a person who gambled like a fate, cheated on raising illegitimate children, and did not have the ability to make money to support the family, and Guimei was sad, painful, and tortured again and again, for the sake of the child, she endured, relying on her own soft strength, and supported a family.
Many people think that she is really too miserable, too bitter, this life is too worthless, and I am deeply touched by her ability to choose to continue to move forward in the difficulties of her life again and again.
Gui mei married a middle-aged man Hou Yongnian and became a stepmother, treating Hou Yongnian's three children as her own, and Hou Yongnian worked as a waiter in the hotel to earn money to support the family.
Gui mei newly married woman, in order to increase the relationship with her husband, one day, she made lunch to send to her husband, but found that her husband and colleagues were playing cards in the back kitchen, and they were directly expelled from the hotel.
The husband has no income, and the family of five wants to eat, what to do? Gui mei found some handicrafts to do to subsidize the family, but still could not make ends meet.
Soon Guimei became pregnant and had no money to have children, so she went to borrow a loan shark, but her husband Hou Yongnian took the money borrowed by Guimei to gamble again.
Guimei gave birth to a pair of double treasures, which is a great joy for others, but for Guimei, life is even more bitter.
Fortunately, Guimei knows that there must be income.
So Guimei and his wife took their two children together and went to Japan to work as a maid, Guimei as a nanny, and her husband as a welcome, and gradually the days improved.
Just like the protagonist Chris in "When Happiness Knocks", he has actually worked very hard but still can't give his wife and children a good living environment.
The wife left him, had no money to pay the rent, was kicked out by the landlord, and Chris took his son and continued to look for a new exit to life.
Fortunately, he won the opportunity to intern at a stock investment company, and he worked hard to finally pass the internship period.
Bring new hope to your life and your son's life.
In the predicament, only by changing our thinking and looking for new exits can we see new hope.
When an open-minded person encounters difficulties, in addition to instinctively acknowledging the facts and getting rid of self-entanglement, he also has a habit of thinking that seeks advantages and avoids harm.
Guimei's employer as a nanny, the husband and wife often quarrel, and later the hostess actually suspected that Guimei and the hostess had an affair.
Gui mei could not bear such an insult and left the employer's house directly. Although Guimei needs such a job, she needs money.
But there is a saying that people are not poor.
Just like in the story of "Xue Pinggui and Wang Baojun", Xue Pinggui received Wang Baojun's hydrangea ball, but Wang Baojun's father was the prime minister of the dynasty and would not allow his daughter to marry a poor man.
So he gave Xue Pinggui a box of silver, but Xue Pinggui felt that this was an insult to himself, and directly spilled the silver on the ground and left angrily.
Maybe Xue Pinggui's story is too far away from us, but Gui Mei's story is very close to us.
As a weak woman in the torrent of the times, she is begging for a life in a foreign country, and this integrity is extremely admirable.
As the saying goes, enduring poverty with dignity is an inherent feature of the land of wisdom.
After leaving her Japanese employer's house, Gui mei entered a local Japanese Chinese restaurant, although she was as tired as a dog every day.
But Guimei has a lot of heart, and she learned a craft in it.
Later, when she returned to Taiwan, she worked as a chef herself and opened a "Xia Fei Home".
The restaurant business gradually improved, and she finally had a little smile on her face.
But at this time, her husband Hou Yongnian went to gamble again, and he was still raising women outside and giving birth to children.
Gui Mei thought that this marriage really came to an end.
But looking at the children, she chose to forgive.
Continue to run her restaurant.
It seems that great women all share common traits
Despite his scars, life is still his protagonist.
The beautiful Scarlett in the world famous book "Gone with the Wind" faces the war, faces the destruction of her home, faces the departure of her relatives, and faces all the pain.
She chose to be strong, rely on herself, work in the fields, run the timber business, and be her own boss.
After Scarlett married Brad, she lived the life of a noblewoman, and Brad asked her to give up running the business, but Scarlett did not agree.
Perhaps she knows that only relying on herself is the most secure.
I remember Napoleon said that there are not enough people to rely on, and the only way to survive is to rely on themselves.
Yes, whether it is Guimei or Scarlett, who can you rely on around?
Conclusion: Life is not easy for everyone,
Life is never truly hopeless.
No matter how much hardship he suffers, no matter how much suffering he experiences, as long as a person still has a seed of faith in his heart, then one day, he will be able to get out of the predicament and let life blossom and bear fruit again.
May every ordinary woman, in ordinary days, bravely get out of the predicament and let life blossom into a flower of hope.
