The TV series "Parents' Love", based on traditional Chinese virtues, depicts a simple and true picture of a family landscape, which is deeply loved by the audience. In this play, the director uses nuanced shots to reveal the method of shaping the image of the original wife and the hidden family concept behind it. Regarding the trivial matters of Lao Ding and the four girls' lives, I made the following opinions.
The first thing to mention is Lao Ding's ex-wife - Wang Xiu'e, she is different from most of the female characters in "Parents Love", she was born and raised in the countryside since she was a child, has a rough and bold temperament, and has a clean and neat appearance. Although this has the charm of a country woman, the accompanying living Xi has brought some inconveniences. When An Jie and Jiang Defu visited Lao Ding for the first time, she inadvertently revealed her stuff and made a joke;Mishandling of family disputes eventually led to a trip to the hospital**. This kind of plot design not only expresses the director's concern for some secular issues in rural society, but also reflects a deeper emotional inheritance, that is, the inseparability of family affection.
Lao Ding's continuum four girls are diametrically opposed to Wang Xiu'e, she is played by Liu Lin, smart and imaginative. Based on the way he gets along with Dehua, it is not difficult for the audience to see that Ding Guanhai loves him deeply. There seems to be a tacit understanding between them in the same style, which is both warm and gentle, as if taking us back to that innocent era.
Thinking about the setting in "Parents' Love", some viewers may wonder: Why did Lao Ding give up his original deep-rooted cultural complex and marry an aunt and grandmother with a low education?Such an arrangement is naturally not arbitrary, but entrusts the deep intention of the choreographer. I think the screenwriter must have deliberately emphasized that life is not only the pursuit of a hundred turns and thousands of times, but also the ordinary is true. Just as Lao Ding left his hometown and threw himself into the torrent of revolution, he experienced countless vicissitudes of life, and finally found the discerning fourth girl when he was open-minded. This love has nothing to do with academic qualifications and status, but more about the company of sympathy and affection. The so-called cultural realm is probably like this, warm and shocking. In addition, through this good story, it also goes deep into what is family happiness.
In addition, Lao Ding's interaction with his mother-in-law and grandmother is also quite distinctive. Despite their different backgrounds, Sun Ma still maintains an open attitude and cares about the trivial matters of Lao Ding and his wife's life. With her help, Lao Ding and his wife gradually became more comfortable in handling household affairs, and the atmosphere at home became more and more harmonious. This reflects the family values advocated in "Parents' Love": tolerance, understanding, and the cohesion of family and country feelings.
In "Parental Love", the life of Ding Guanhai and his wife completely shows the rich face of family relationships in a rural context. Whether it is firewood, rice, oil and salt in the countryside, or the emphasis on children's education, it shows the respect and promotion of traditional virtues in this drama, as well as the profound thinking of modern family ethics and morality. It can be said that "Parental Love" is not only a light-hearted and humorous dramatic work, but also represents an outstanding achievement of Chinese family values.
