Yang Zi is going to explode by relying on popular women

Yang Zi is going to rely on the Pu woman character explosion

Yang Zi's new drama "Cheng Huanji" official announcement scheduled CCTV, I am more optimistic about this drama, I believe it will become a classic explosion of Yang Zi's modern drama.

First, the old, middle-aged and young actors are considered to have acting skills, but most importantly, the original novel of this drama is a very special one in Yishu's novels, and the female protagonist Mai Chenghuan is a very textured character.

I've probably revisited forty of Yishu's novels this year, and frankly speaking, the repetition is very high, and many novels are really read today, and then the plot is forgotten tomorrow, and there's a feeling that I'm watching a TVB drama played by Wong Chung Chak.

But what's so special about "The Book of Happiness" is that it doesn't focus on the battle between men and women in the city, but on the confrontation between mother and daughter.


When I first read The Book of Happiness, I recommended my sister to read this novel. Because the relationship between Mak and her mother, Mrs. Mak, is very much like the story of my sister and her mother, in fact, perhaps like most East Asian mother-daughter stories.

Mai Chenghuan walks a path of self-awakening - from absolute attachment to her mother, to gradually freeing herself from control and pleasing herself.

There's always a misconception that it's men who hold women back in our lives. Of course men are also a kind of tie, but I have always believed that the most difficult relationship we women have in our lives is with our own mothers.

Often times, mothers feel like they are living for their children, but as daughters, there is probably a voice in each of us that says that often, we are actually living for our mothers, but no one can see the aggravation.

I did a bedding live before, we have a girl in the group said, she especially like that silk quilt, want to buy a bed for their mother, but very hesitant, I said hesitation, she said I'm afraid that I bought for my mother, she turned to her son with, such a thing has been countless times.

Then she said ruefully, I don't know why my mom is always thinking about her son.

I sighed deeply and said, maybe what's sadder is that you can't figure out why you're always living for your mother again either.

It was a simple statement, but it blew up so much discussion in the group. Many readers said that it kind of made them want to cry, because finally they had to admit that a lot of the aggravation in our lives does come from trying to please our mothers.

Not just because of patriarchy.

Rather, it is because our lives come from our mothers, and we have an attachment to our mothers that is difficult to accurately describe, and our mothers have an extremely imperceptible control over us (not in a pejorative sense, I understand that this control is a habit that has been taken care of since we were young, and our mothers are working hard to overcome this habit that has been perpetuated), and those who are being controlled can never help but to please the controllers.

Mak Seung-Hoon used to think only that Mrs. Mak was the best mother in the world.

(The Tale of Cheng Huan is very much in the vein of Eileen Chang's The Book of Golden Locks, and the casting of He Sai Fei as her mother was really a precise vision)

The moment she realizes the control her mother has over her is the moment she gets married. She suddenly realized that her mother was using her as a bargaining chip, fighting for her own will that she hadn't fought for in the world before.

So Mai Chenghuan diamond ring to choose Mrs. Mai's favorite style, vulgarity does not matter, the most important thing is enough flash, in order to appear to be Mrs. Mai to teach her daughter, the face of the light;

Mai Chenghuan himself wants to travel to get married, but also never, must please the mother, let her big feast this wedding can be closed, otherwise Mrs. Mai can make everyone embarrassed.

May as well show you the original words in the novel, Yishu's pen, like a knife, very precisely cut this trauma:

"Her mother made things difficult for her at every turn, attempting to compete in her daughter's wedding, taking out on her the aggression she had felt over the years in her married life. All because after this great event, there will never be a chance to be proud and proud, and he will walk away if he dares to do this to his son."

That kind of mother's hold on her daughter, that daughter's insight into the depths of her mother's humanity, is a shudder.

In short, it was in the hidden confrontation with her mother that Mai Chenghuan suddenly lost interest.

She doesn't end up getting married. She tells her best friend, Mao Yongxin, that she realizes she has given too little back to her mother to qualify for marriage.

One of the truths that Mak finally admits is that there is no relationship in this world that is unrewarding, including the mother-daughter relationship.

This is the most profound thing that Yishu writes in The Book of Cheng Huan.

Yishu portrays a very standard mother who takes care of her daughter in every possible way. Of course Mrs. Mak loves her daughter, but the control she has over her daughter is also real, and similarly, she can't do the so-called unrequited return. There are always moments when she feels aggrieved that she has given so much, and that her daughter must pay back twice as much in return in order to be happy and to rest.

I'm not sure if you're going to be able to do that.
