Despicableness is the passport of the despicable,
Nobility is the epitaph of the noble.
Watching the TV series "Distant Distance", I unconsciously thought of this poem.
The male protagonist Si Mengnan in the play is a very bad man with sores on his head and pus on his feet. In every episode, he is shown doing evil things to disrupt other people's lives. He is a guy who deserves a beating. He has always regarded himself as a poet, and if he could not publish his poems, he would seek death. After publishing his poems and getting a few fans, he would forget about it and lose himself. He puts the word "poet" to shame.
If the audience is too involved in the scene, they may smash the TV, or they may throw bricks at the actor if they meet him along the way.
He is a sanctimonious hypocrite who repays kindness with hatred. His so-called "love" is just out of his extremely selfish desire to conquer and possessiveness.
There was a terrible paranoia about him. Similar to a scary lunatic. In order to achieve his personal goals, he did everything possible, even hiring someone to poison Zheng Xiangdong's restaurant. If one plan fails, another will come up. If the goal is not achieved, we will never stop wreaking havoc.
His understanding of "love" is disdainful and incredible. In the name of love, he does all the heartbreaking and unscrupulous things that make others suffer. He is good for nothing and is a typical "scumbag".
Su Yang, Sun Qianya, Zheng Xiangdong and others are synonymous with kindness, magnanimity and tolerance. They repay evil with kindness and raise Simengnan's children with great kindness and love.
It is easy to love a house as much as a bird; it is difficult to hate a house but not as much as a bird.
But they did. Their realm is incomprehensible and beyond the reach of a despicable guy like Si Mengnan.
Especially Su Yang, who had a bad fate, went through hardships but faced it bravely, gave up his beloved dream for others time and time again, was misunderstood time and time again but did not defend himself, and stood up for others time and time again. Solve puzzles. This kind of responsibility based on kindness, bravery, strength, magnanimity and tolerance are moving.
She is a woman full of artistic talents and has a strong talent for design. This, combined with her determination not to admit defeat in life, makes her successful in everything she does. Playing the violin, painting, doing fashion design...she is inspired by her and follows her everywhere. Simon Mengnan hired people to secretly sabotage her clothing store, and when she wasn't paying attention, she secretly scratched many of the jeans in her store with a razor blade. She actually put an advertisement at the door of the store - new beggar's pants, 50 yuan a pair. The audience has to admire her artistic design talent.
All the qualities she possesses make this woman look charming, and the maternal nature in her body also fascinates Su Wen (the daughter of Simengnan and his ex-wife). Even though she knows her biological parents, she always changes her mind. Want to be by her side.
Su and Zheng's attitude towards love is also touching. Su only loved Zheng Xiangdong all his life, and Zheng only loved Su Yang, but they couldn't get together because of the cruel reality, even though they both made great efforts. The two have gone through ups and downs together and love each other deeply, but they have never gone too far. This is a kind of respect and care for each other's sacred love.
In comparison, Simengnan's so-called love seems very vulgar and despicable. He keeps saying that he loves Su Yang and cannot live without her, but he lives with another woman and has children in Shenzhen.
In short, this is a woman who was almost perfected by the screenwriter.
Unfortunately, in reality, there are very few people like Su Yang, almost none.
Zhang Liping, Simengnan’s ex-wife, was hateful in the first half of the film. As the story progressed, her character changed and the audience gradually began to accept her.
Aunt Song, Su Yang's stepmother, is a snob who is only interested in profit and has no moral bottom line. Her attitude towards Su Yang's father, Su Li, and Su Yang is disgusting. She was directly responsible for Suri's early death.
A good-for-nothing scumbag who was evil from head to toe, from inside to outside, was obsessed with a nearly perfect woman. From 1976 to 2003, he consumed her best years. This nightmare that lasted for more than 20 years finally ended with Simengnan going crazy.
The plot of this play has twists and turns, ups and downs, and makes good use of a narrative structure, that is -
Desire + obstacle = conflict.
I haven’t watched the first half, but the dozen or so episodes I have watched follow this narrative pattern without exception. In every episode, something happens that is irreversible and prevents Su Yang and Zheng Xiangdong from getting together. Faced with the dilemma, Su Yang chose to quit every time, forcing himself to help others. Even give up your ideals to pay off debts for others. Finally, there was a turning point, but the hope was dashed because of Si Mengnan's obstruction. The audience felt sorry for Su Yang, and at the same time hated Si Mengnan with gritted teeth.
The finale of this drama is very in line with the aesthetics of Chinese TV audiences.
Si Mengnan finally realized his conscience after learning that Zheng Hao was his biological son, and knelt down to thank and apologize to Zheng Xiangdong. The hope of life was immediately stimulated and disappeared by the doctor's words, "Zheng Hao's hemophilia cannot be cured, so prepare for the funeral." In the end, he went crazy.
After going crazy, Si Mengnan became kind. He held two little wooden figures in his hands all day long and kept chanting the names of his son and daughter. At this time, his eyes finally showed some kindness and softness.
Zheng Hao ignored his past suspicions and went to visit him and called him daddy. Although he no longer recognized that Zheng Hao in front of him was his son, he just clenched the wooden figure in his hand and shouted "Zheng Hao". Zheng Hao looked at this scene, tears falling down.
Kindness, tolerance and generosity will eventually defeat narrow-mindedness, selfishness and despicability. Family love that is thicker than water will eventually make people forgive the past and everything.
The Confucian idea of ??benevolence has ruled the Chinese people for thousands of years. The director’s arrangement of the finale is accepted by everyone.
