"Love in the Courtyard" is a classic that you never get tired of watching. It records the humanistic stories, life changes and social conditions that took place in the courtyard houses of Beijing from the 60s to the 90s of the 20th century.
This rare and good drama vividly depicts the great changes that have taken place in old Beijing in the 40 years from the 50s to the 90s of the last century from the perspective of small people.
Almost all the characters in the show are different from the characters in other dramas, none of them are really good people, and everyone has their own selfishness and dark side.
Today, I want to take stock, how many good people are among them?
Qin Ruhuai. 
The first heroine of this drama is a high-level hypocritical and kind person, in order to ensure that she and her family have a "free lunch ticket", she will stop at nothing to sabotage the blind date plan of the "stupid pillar". In the end, she got her wish and married "Silly Zhu", but refused to give him a child. She blindly asked for it, if it weren't for the overnight husband and wife affair with Lou Xiao'e, He Yuzhu would have exterminated the offspring. It can be said that she is a scheming woman like a poisonous snake.
Zhang Jiashi. 
The vicious mother-in-law is the number one giant in the show, known for her selfishness, and she sees only herself and money in her eyes.
Most of Qin Huairu's bad ideas were planned by her, such as marrying Silly Zhu, occupying his house, and preventing him from meeting his son. She also often splashes and rolls to achieve her goals, which is really annoying.
The chief white-eyed wolf in this play both receives favors from the stupid pillar (such as hospitality, work and shelter), and harbors great contempt for him. This dual stance fully demonstrates the characteristics of the first white-eyed wolf.
A master is easy to the sea.
The first hypocrite in this drama can be said to be the period drama version of Yue Buqun. He behaved fairly, justly, selflessly, and generously helping others, but in fact, he had his own careful thoughts behind the scenes - he wanted to find someone to support the elderly.
Yi Zhonghai has no children because the old couple has no children, and the problem of pension has become a big problem for him.
Because he hopes that Silly Zhu and Qin Huairu will be together to take care of his old age, although he knows that Silly Zhu can find a better partner, but for the sake of his future, he is bent on facilitating their relationship. In addition, he also privately left letters and money from Silly Zhu's father to the brother and sister, in an attempt to cut off the connection between father and son, so that Silly Zhu could fully take care of his pension needs.
The second uncle is in the bangs.
He is an official fan, very short-tempered, and often does things to his three sons, which is also one of the reasons why he has no one to support him in his later years.
In order to seek an official position, he did not hesitate to join forces with Xu Damao to raid Lou Xiao'e's home, and privately took it as his own property.
His early death made the second aunt finally understand that family affection is the most important thing.
The three great masters of Yanbu.
He was extremely stingy, even having to calculate the cost of his children's meals, which made him unable to pay for his medical expenses when he was hospitalized in his later years.
However, in the process of being a person and doing things, it is still necessary to maintain certain principles. After living in a nursing home, in order to reduce the financial burden of his children, he even collected waste to share some of it. This is a very rare thing in today's society, so it can be said that he is a half-good person.
The main opponent is Xu Damao.
He is the number one villain of this show, and he is also the sworn enemy of Silly Zhu, and he is always against Silly Zhu. Because he couldn't have children, he often blamed his wife, and finally left Lou Xiao'e, secretly pursued Qin Jingru, and snatched Silly Zhu's beloved.
Eventually, I realized that the problem was my own, and after the business failed, I was taken in by a generous person.
Lou Xiao'e: A kind person who is not very pure.
The reason why Lou Xiao'e is considered a good person is because she gave birth to Silly Zhu's only son, so that Silly Zhu's bloodline will not be severed.
She is not a good person in the traditional sense, and she will not be desperate and obsessed with love. Instead, in order to escape the disaster, she took her family to Hong Kong.
It wasn't until the child turned 7 years old that he recognized Silly Zhu, and no one knew what he had experienced during this period and whether he had been married.
Compared to others, Lou Xiao'e can be called a kind person.
The first actor: Silly Zhu.
Silly Zhu is kind-hearted, and he is always willing to lend a helping hand to people in distress.
Qin Huairu skillfully took advantage of this and successfully controlled the stupid pillar, making him serve the Jia family for life, all his wages were handed over, and the house was also occupied. In the end, even the freedom to talk to his son depends on Qin Huairu's face, which can be described as very depressed.
The first person to understand: a deaf old lady.
As the oldest person in the courtyard, the deaf old lady has unparalleled experience and insight, and everyone respects her and respects her moral character.
The old lady had no children, so she loved Silly Zhu very much, and regarded him as her own grandson. Under her planning, Silly Zhu and Lou Xiao'e became husband and wife to ensure that Silly Zhu had descendants. That's a good deed.
Conclusion: Human nature is not simply divided into good and bad, and its essence is quite complex.
In this play, the audience will also see the bad side of the first male protagonist.
