As a lower class woman in the old society, Shi Ping's life has always been divided into two parts: half belongs to her husband; Half of them belong to children. She hopes to get the love and understanding of others in her silent and selfless dedication, so as to confirm the value of her existence. However, Shi Ping's tragic fate made the pure spring of life dry up slowly until it dried up.
Women's happiness in the first half of their lives often depends on marriage. When Shi Ping was young, she was engaged to the owner of the Zhou family and gave birth to two sons for him. However, Zhou Puyuan's cruel abandonment destroyed the girl's love dream, and the shame of losing her virginity ruined Shi Ping's road to happiness through marriage forever. Therefore, she despaired of love and lost the right to pursue it. This relationship made her miserable, and she struggled on the cross of virtue. It can be said with certainty that Zhou Puyuan's betrayal completely destroyed the girl Shi Ping's "innocence".
Without love, what remains is the reality that we must live. Shi Ping married twice when she met someone who was not suitable, and her marriage with Gui Lu was obviously not happy. Gui Lu's humble and disloyal Shi Ping was scolded like a slave, and Shi Ping could only refuse this man she hated with silence. Therefore, the forced choice of marriage did not bring relief, on the contrary, it only trampled on the dignity of being a human being in cheap self-selling. Shi Ping, who gave her love most sincerely in the first half of her life, was abandoned. Trying to run a family, but being discriminated against. The heavy reality made her gradually lose the ability to love, and half of Shi Ping's life died early.
Middle-aged Shi Ping takes good care of her children. As a mother, she cares about her children. She always tries to spread her wings to protect them from the wind and rain. She gambled the happiness of the rest of her life on the return of her children without reservation. However, the "reward" arranged by fate completely defeated this kind mother. Facing Zhou Ping, the eldest son who grew up, Shi Ping's forbearance and relief were intertwined, and she only said, "I am the mother of the person you hit." Concentrating the sadness that the mother wanted to recognize but could not recognize her son into endless spiritual space, Shi Ping clearly realized that she had lost this son forever. Growing up in two different families, representing two diametrically opposed classes, the inevitable class conflict between Zhou Ping and Lu Dahai made Shi Ping suffer from the contradiction of "the palm of his hand is full of meat" and was exhausted. However, fate is still pressing this scarred and tortured mother step by step to get back the "old account" from her 30 years ago. The incest between her daughter four winds and her half-brother Zhou Ping caught Shi Ping off guard, and the "sin" of the first half of her life pushed her to the abyss of perdition. Although Dai Ping swallowed the bitter wine brewed by her child alone with the greatest courage, an overwhelming thunderstorm destroyed everything, and Shi Ping completely lost the only support in her life. If Shi Ping, who was lovelorn in the first half of her life, can survive numbly, Shi Ping, who was lovelorn in the second half of her life, will have nothing. What she has dedicated has become atonement for the first half of her life. Shi Ping, who is completely desperate, has no choice but to go crazy.
Under the arrangement of fate, Shi Ping, who is alive, gradually went to the desperate situation of death. Her silent life is the most tolerant: she cares about others from beginning to end, endures the harm caused to her by others to the maximum extent, and constantly gives in to the bottom line of life. Cao Yu, the master of drama, concentrated all his sufferings on Shi Ping. Perhaps the significance lies in proving that people are bound to suffer, even if he or she is unknown. In the face of suffering, people have no choice but to face and accept.
Shi Ping's tragedy is a well-meaning elegy of fate. When listening attentively, what is rippling in my heart is "endless sadness like water".
Hope to be adopted! ! Thank you!
