In the ending of "The Road of Life", Qiaoling was admitted to university, found the job she wanted, and gained a foothold in the city.
In the play, Liu Qiaozhen and Liu Qiaoling are both miserable people. One was abandoned and the other was abused by men. Fortunately, Liu Qiaozhen found a good man, Ma Bolong, and she gained happiness. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and Ma Bolong's death caused Liu Qiaozhen to suffer.
However, Liu Qiaozhen was also blessed by Ma Bolong's death and began to focus on her own career, eventually becoming a well-educated, legal and adaptable businesswoman. Compared with Liu Qiaozhen, Liu Qiaoling seems quite unhappy.
She failed to get into college, became the laughing stock of the village, lost the right to pursue happiness, and eventually married a loud-mouthed man who only cared about eating, drinking, whoring and gambling all day long. A woman as flexible and down-to-earth as Liu Qiaoling should naturally have a happy ending.
Evaluation of the TV series "The Road of Life":
"The Road of Life" depicts the extension of Gao Jialin's life from a narrative level, and provides him with a new perspective rooted in the Chinese context. Life Path provides the "Shanghai Solution". The play not only continues the protagonist's struggle in Shanghai by expanding the narrative, but also responds to the confusion and confusion in his youth life in response to the requirements of the times. Spanning more than 40 years, Gao Jialin's growth narrative has been retold with the passion of the times.
The first half of the play reproduces the "Gao Jialin Problem" in the original work. In the loess land of the 1980s, the talented Gao Jialin was full of energy. His vision of growth is not only the dream of "changing his life" as mentioned by the old man Deshun, but also his life choice of "being a man of uprightness and doing earth-shattering things". He longed to move from the yellow land under his feet to a modern metropolis and realize his life ideal.
