The heroine Angie is the envy of girls. She married the right person and can live a peaceful and happy life. When she became the commander's wife, she successfully escaped the catastrophe of ten years, and her family was taken care of because of her husband. On that island, she gave birth to a child and became a respected teacher, so when she was hungry, she could safely drink coffee and eat peach cakes.
Although I envy Anjie's good luck, the figure I admire most in "Parents' Love" is Anjie's sister An Xin, a woman who is gentle and tough as water.
1. The nourishment of her family gave her a calm attitude as a young lady.
An Xin is Anjie's sister and "Miss Capitalist". She reads widely and behaves gracefully. Her first half of life is also enviable: her husband Ouyang, an overseas Chinese intellectual, comes from a family of poetry and books, likes to wear a suit and tie, and naturally calls her "darling" in front of everyone. The door is right and the soul fits, which makes the unmarried Anjie envious.
Compared with Angie's slightly wayward temper, peace of mind does not have the arrogance of the big lady, only the propriety and calmness of the big lady.
When the introducer set Angie and Jiang Defu together, Angie didn't like Jiang Defu and thought he was an uneducated lout. An Xin said: No culture does not mean no wisdom. She never looked down upon this ambitious officer, nor did she generalize, because one shortcoming of Jiang Defu neglected his other advantages. After learning that Jiang Defu was divorced, Anxin kept persuading Jiang Defu until she learned that Jiang Defu and his ex-wife had no children.
Angie got married, and Jiang Defu's classmates went to Jiang Defu's for dinner. Angie is not good at cooking, so he has to ask An Xin for help. An Xin carefully prepared dinner. Anjie picked up a radish flower that she had cut beautifully and laughed at her. "You don't have to do it so delicately."
An Jie thinks that Jiang Defu's classmates, like him, are illiterate hillbillies. Where can they appreciate such exquisite things? I'm afraid they'll think it's too fancy But An Xin said: You are the host of the party, so you should have your own attitude.
On An Xin, what we see is an educated woman with a good personality. She comes from a well-known family, but her temperament is gentle and gentle, and she treats people with gentleness and propriety. She is smart and dexterous, has a quiet insight into everything, and has her own opinions on people and things. She can be called a real lady.
The era of subversion has greatly changed her fate, but she has never lost her demeanor as a young lady.
Her husband, Ouyang, was branded as a rightist for saying something wrong and was exiled to a place called Heishan Island for reform. When my brother Antai asked Anxin what to do, she simply replied:
what can I do? I'm going with him. Needless to say, I quit my job, packed my bags and set off.
She could have chosen not to go, but after things came out, she made a decision to accompany Ouyang almost immediately. On that small island, she and Ouyang also "enjoyed" the treatment of the Rightists-Ouyang worked as a coolie at the dock, and she did the job of pressing the surface. That's all. The islanders' indifference to them is a kind of spiritual destruction.
The house they live in is a veritable small broken house. The child's custody fee is 7 yuan a month. Angie came to see her. They talked about child support. An Xin's face flashed when An Jie casually said "This is not expensive". Seven dollars, if it was not expensive according to the previous family, but now the situation is completely different. Sister An doesn't know how much pressure she has to make to earn this seven dollars.
How much she envies Anjie. Sisters of the same age are studying in the church. Now Anjie is a respected teacher and lives a well-fed life. And what she does is the work of a noodle maker, and she is also treated coldly.
Envy returns to envy, but An Xin, who has experienced ups and downs, still has no complaints about all this. When Dehua went to the island for the night, he couldn't help but blurt out when he saw her vicissitudes: Why are you so old? An Xin smiled with his head down, a little bitter, but still gentle.
What impressed me most was the shabby little house where they lived. An Xin was so clean that even the quilt smelled of fragrant pancreas. She said: What I can do now is to lead an honest and clean life.
Whose fate is not a joke in the face of subversive times? The absurd and distorted reality made An Xin lose all the beauty she had. In these days when she fell to the bottom, she put down the figure of a big miss, but never lost her demeanor. These calm attitudes revealed in the face of difficulties can probably be called real demeanor.
3. Love with Ouyang Yi is like a poem written by Shu Ting to an oak tree.
"Whether you are poor or rich, in prosperity or adversity, you are willing to love the people around you, respect TA and protect TA."
If this wedding oath tells the true meaning of a good marriage, then Anxin really practiced this sentence.
Unlike her sister An Jie's "refuge" on the island, An Xin's going to the island is entirely her own "seeking difficulties" and is a kind of loyalty between husband and wife: I don't know how bad it will be in the future, but I choose to be with you.
Meet Ouyang Yi with peace of mind. She is worried that Ouyang Yi can't stand the gap in identity, and she will be with him no matter how hard she tries. When she saw the sea in front of her, she jumped in and drank it all, but she didn't say a word of complaint to Ouyang Yi.
Angie asked her for help when she was pregnant. She said goodbye to her husband and daughter on the dock and said "take care of dad" to her two four-or five-year-old twin daughters. In a word, how much she cares and loves Ouyang Yi.
During that time on the island, no one around me called Ouyang Yi "Ouyang", but called him "Lao Ou". Only An Xin always remembers that he is Ouyang. For Ouyang Yi, everyone in the world can treat me in any way. As long as my wife stands with me and recognizes me, it is a great spiritual comfort.
Ouyang, because of an Xin Tuodi, the two endured and endured, and finally survived the darkest time.
When the light came again, their feelings became deeper and deeper. Ouyang will proudly call Anxin "Dear" as he was a child, and Anxin will respond with a gentle smile as he did when he was a child.
When Ouyang was childishly prepared to spend a month's salary to treat him to steak to express his gratitude, An Xin let him go and said with a smile, "I don't care, you have the final say."
The marriage between Anjie and Jiang Defu taught us to tolerate and change each other.
The marriage between Anxin and Ouyang Yi taught us respect, love and waiting.
This kind of love is like Shu Ting's poem To the Oak Tree:
I must be a kapok beside you, standing with you as a tree. Roots, close to the ground; Leaves, touching in the clouds. Every time a gust of wind passes, we greet each other, but no one understands us.
An Xin is so silent and gentle that she has a tenacious attitude towards life and family.
The most beautiful woman in the story is "very interesting" all her life.
Compared with Wang Xiue's ex-wife who died in childbirth, Wang's ex-wife died of a serious illness; Jiang Dehua waited for Mrding's next best proposal in his forties and worked hard all his life. Teacher Ge has become an old maid because of fertility problems, and she can only marry a widowed Wang Yizhi who has no children of her own ... The luckiest woman in "Parents' Love" is undoubtedly an Jie with a smooth life and happiness.
An Xin is not as lucky as An Jie, but she is a woman who can have herself and live the most brilliantly.
Regarding the appearance, the wife of Deputy Political Commissar Wang said that if you look closely, she looks better than Anjie.
As for temperament, Miss Ge Xiamei said that she is "you" to everyone, and she is particularly cultured.
Regarding propriety and righteousness, Anjie doesn't like the ugly name Dehua, and simply calls her "Dehua". Later, everyone followed her and called her "Dehua". Only An Xin called her "Dehua" from beginning to end, because it was her aunt's real name.
At the end of The Love of Parents, Jiang Defu, An Jie, Ouyang Yi, An Xin and Dehua returned to the island by boat in their later years. Ouyang wore a hat, like a carefree little old man, and stood at the bow and read, "The old man said that he was a teenager, with yellow on his left, towering high, wearing a gold hat and mink fur, riding a thousand rolls of flat hills." For the whole city and the prefect, shoot tigers and see Sun Lang ... "
Angie's little daughter cocked her head and asked for peace of mind.
"My uncle is so cute. Isn't it interesting that you and my uncle are together in this life? "
An Xin glanced at Ouyang who was cheering at the bow, still smiling gently and calmly.
"Yes, it's very interesting."
A life of peace of mind is favored by fate and abandoned by fate. The changes of the years did not take away her tenderness like the spring breeze. Director Kong Sheng said, "An Xin is the most beautiful woman in the story".
Yes, she is beautiful, gentle as water and tough as water.
