The play is a major cultural boutique project in Shaanxi Province in 2022, partly based on Lu Yao's novella ** "Life", which tells the story of Gao Jialin, a young man living in Gaojia Village in northern Shaanxi, in order to change his fate, work hard, and after experiencing the changes of the world and the tests of fate one after another, he writes the story of the extraordinary life of ordinary people in the tide of the times.
In the play, Huang Yaping is a character full of contradictions. On the one hand, she showed deep affection for Gogarin, and on the other hand, she had a great influence on Gogarin's future. Her appearance reveals Gogarin's true face, and further shows Gogarin's growth and struggles.
Huang Yaping is a very ambitious woman. She is bent on leaving northern Shaanxi and developing her career in big cities like Shanghai or Beijing. She believes that Gogarin is a talented and capable person who can help her achieve this dream. Therefore, she launched a fierce pursuit of Gogarin.
However, Huang Yaping's behavior put Gao Jialin in a dilemma. On the one hand, Gao Jialin's feelings for Huang Yaping are sincere, and he likes her intelligence, talent, and enthusiasmOn the other hand, Gao Jialin couldn't give up his first girlfriend Liu Qiaozhen. On this issue, Gogarin showed obvious indecision and selfishness.
Huang Yaping's pursuit of Gao Jialin not only did not receive a clear response, but was also opposed by Gao Jialin's parents. Gao Jialin's parents thought that Huang Yaping was too strong and ambitious to be their daughter-in-law. In this situation, Gogarin began to waver, and he began to think about his future and career development, and not just emotional issues.
Huang Yaping also showed her own problems in the process. She was too attached to her dreams and goals and ignored Gogarin's feelings and thoughts. She believes that Gogarin should fight for himself, and not give up his career development for the sake of feelings. This thought made Gogarin feel very bitter and disappointed, and it further exacerbated the contradictions and rifts between them.
In the end, Gogarin chose the latter between feelings and career. He accepted Huang Yaping's suggestion to go to Shanghai to develop his career. However, in the process, he lost his first girlfriend, Liu Qiaozhen. This blow made Gogarin feel very painful and guilty, and it also made him realize his mistakes and shortcomings more deeply.
Huang Yaping was also hurt a lot in the process. She discovers that the man she loves is not as perfect and determined as she imagined. She began to doubt her choices and decisions, and she also had a deep reflection on her life and values.
In the end, neither Huang Yaping nor Gao Jialin got the happiness and success they wanted. Their life experiences have taught us that we can't ignore our own and others' feelings and thoughts when pursuing our dreams and goals. We should cherish the opportunities and happiness in front of us, instead of giving up our life values in order to pursue higher goals.
In the play, Huang Yaping is a very controversial character. Some people think that she is a selfish and ambitious woman, and some people think that she is a woman with courage and pursuit. In any case, her appearance has brought great influence and inspiration to Gogarin's life.
