"Xiao Min's Family" does not directly show a person's personality characteristics, but integrates these characteristics into many details. Let’s take Xiao Min as an example.
Xiao Min is a midwife and she has a slight mysophobia. When Chen Zhuo picked her up for dinner, she said she would go home and use the toilet first, and said she was not used to the toilet outside. One sentence enriched Xiao Min's image. Then in the car, Chen Zhuo asked her to eat chestnuts and let the warm wind blow before eating. It can be seen that Xiao Min pays great attention to her diet. This is very consistent with Xiao Min’s professional characteristics.

Xiao Min came home and saw her mother and son. She took them home and the first thing she did after opening the door was to disinfect the suitcases. Then he was pulled into the house. You also need to sanitize your hands after entering the house. Later, the son also learned this habit from his mother and disinfected his hands when he entered the door. When his father Jinbo came in with his suitcase, he also disinfected outside the door and asked his father to disinfect his hands.
When Xiao Min eats out, we can also see her mild mysophobia. Then Li Ping said that she had loved wearing white shoes since she was a child, and she often polished them. These details shape the character of Xiao Min and vividly allow us to see the personality characteristics of this character, which pave the way for her life direction.
2. Details and character relationships
I think the "little white shoes" in the play are very crucial.

First of all, it is a "witness" that Chen Zhuo and Xiao Min love each other. Xiao Min likes to wear white shoes. The director has said it through Li Ping, but what he didn't say is that Chen Zhuo also likes to wear white shoes. In the play, Chen Zhuo and Xiao Min failed to go on their first date. After Xiao Min took her mother and son out for dinner, he went to pack his luggage in the house, wearing white shoes.
Later, Li Ping even gossiped about them, saying that they both wore white, like couple's clothes. In fact, this is because the director wanted to use the white shoes to imply that Chen Zhuo and Xiao Min's three views are more consistent.

Secondly, it is the "estrangement" between Jin Jiajun and Xiao Min. When Jin Jiajun arrived in Beijing, Xiao Min invited them out for dinner at night and found a better restaurant. Jin Jiajun's first sentence was "Do you often come here to eat?" This was obviously a test of Xiao Min.
Xiao Min went out for a run with Jin Jiajun, wearing white shoes. Jin Jiajun said, "These shoes are not suitable for running." Later, he specifically told Xiao Min that they would buy a pair of running shoes together when they have time. .
It’s not because the shoes don’t fit, but because he doesn’t like white shoes. The day Xiao Min was "caught in adultery", she was wearing white shoes. Later, when Xiao Min went to Beijing, Jin Jiajun was laughed at and bullied by his classmates. They even made up a jingle about "little white shoes" to make fun of him. Therefore, his mother's white shoes are a thorn in his heart and a barrier in their relationship between mother and son.
3. Details and character endings
The furniture in the play is also very attentive. Take Li Ping's family as an example. Jiajia was sent to Li Ping's house by her father for her birthday. In Li Ping's bedroom, Jiajia saw the oil painting. On the wall directly opposite the bed, Hong Wei's single oil painting hangs there. Jiajia joked: Aren’t you scared when you go to the toilet at night?

Later, he mocked her and said: Do you think you are the Queen of England?
But let’s think about it, why do Li Ping and Hong Wei only have Hong Wei’s personal oil paintings hanging in their bedrooms? Ordinarily, in movies and TV dramas, portraits of two people should hang in the bedroom of a couple!
Li Ping also said that this painting was painted by Hong Wei just two days ago. This means that even though they have been working hard as a couple for so long, in Hong Wei's heart, all this is his own credit, so he painted a self-portrait to hang in his bedroom.

This also implies that there will be problems in their marriage. It is said that Li Ping had a miscarriage and was unable to have children, and Hong Wei had a woman outside, and the two of them were in a divorce situation.
"Xiao Min's Family" is really very attentive. Whether it is the acting skills of the actors, the details of the furniture, or the foreshadowing, they are all interpreted very delicately. It is precisely because of this that the audience likes it so much. Bar!
