Recently, the high-profile period emotional drama "The Road of Life" is adapted from the famous writer Lu Yao's "Life" of the same name, which has been deeply loved by the audience since its launch. This drama tells the story of Gao Jialin, who was born in an ordinary rural family in northern Shaanxi, how he constantly struggles and struggles in the course of life. With the spark of pursuing his ideals in his heart, he was determined to leave the life of farming for generations. Fate always unfolds in front of people in incredible ways. Gao Jialin met Liu Qiaozhen, a simple and kind peasant girl, at a low point in his life. Although Qiaozhen is considerate of him, Gogarin's inner desire for a wider world led him to make the decision to break up.
After leaving Gaojia Village, although Liu Qiaozhen deeply regretted it, she chose to respect Gao Jialin's choice. Soon, she met the loyal and kind horse bolt, and the two got married and lived a happy life. However, life is always full of twists and turns. Gogarin suffered a setback in his career and lost his position as a journalist. In the midst of endless predicament, he chose to return to his hometown. At this moment, he deeply realized that he had nothing left. Born into a poor family in rural northern Shaanxi, Gao Jialin knew that if he did not study hard and get into college, he would have to spend his life in this yellow earth like his father.
For him, the college entrance examination is not only a springboard to change his fate, but also the only way for him to pursue an ideal life. Gogarin is intelligent and hardworking, and his results are always at the top. In the college entrance examination preliminaries, he broke the record of previous years with the first excellent result in the county and became the pride of the whole village. As Gao Garin's friend, Gao Shuangxing does not have the same firm will as he does. Although his grades were not outstanding, and he only won the twenty-fifth place in the county, he filled in the same college entrance examination as Gao Jialin. It turned out that all this was a conspiracy of Gao Shuangxing's father, Gao Minglou.
He understood that his son could not compete with Gao Jialin, in order to make his son get ahead and shine on the lintel, he used the authority of the village director to tamper with the college entrance examination information filled in by the two, and let his son replace Gao Jialin's quota to study in Shanghai. In the face of his guilty son, how should Gao Minglou face his crimes?He was ashamed to say that everything was for the future happiness of the whole village. Gao Minglou, a selfish man, for the sake of his own face and hypocritical concern for his son, forcibly pushed his son onto the road of breaking the law, making him spend countless years in guilt and pain.
Gogarin, an aspiring young man, planned to repeat his studies for another year, but unfortunately his mother accidentally fell and injured himself. He knew how much his parents had contributed to his studies and how much they were suffering from poverty. So, he gave up the opportunity to repeat his studies, not wanting to burden his family any more.
Gao Minglou and Gao Jialin's father, Gao Yude, were sworn brothers. In order to comfort his conscience, Gao Minglou arranged for Gao Jialin to work as a private teacher in the village's Madian School. Although the job was not ideal, it was undoubtedly a consolation for the frustrated Gogarin at the time.
Gogarin loved to read, especially when he was a student, and he often stayed up late to learn about current affairs. The propaganda board in the county is an important part of his study, and he will read every word carefully, and even ask people with knowledge for advice. This passion for knowledge gave him more time to read, write, and earn manuscript fees to support his family.
For him, it was a great choice to work at the school, where he could maintain his hobby without having to work in the fields. He has always dreamed of becoming a public teacher, and he has the ability and confidence to realize this dream.
However, fate always played a joke on him. Because of the selfishness of the cadres and the imperfection of the laws at that time, his dreams were broken again and again. Gao Sanxing, Gao Minglou's son, took his place. His talent and hard work have all come to naught. Criminals take advantage of loopholes in the law, resulting in many unfair phenomena in society. After Gao Jialin became unemployed, he began a hard life of farming, and it was also at this time that he and Liu Qiaozhen began to fall in love. Gao Jialin's uncle, Gao Yuzhi, was an iron-faced and selfless soldier who obeyed orders, and after changing jobs, he became the director of the Labor Bureau. Originally, Gao Jialin could find a satisfactory job with this relationship, but Gao Yuzhi insisted on principles and refused to open the back door for him.
However, in order to curry favor with Gao Yuzhi, director of the Labor Bureau, Ma Zhansheng discussed with Gao Minglou to arrange a position for Gao Jialin as a communications officer. As a result, Gogarin became a public official and received a city hukou. He has shown a hard-working attitude and has learned to showcase his talents and seize every opportunity to let his superiors see his shining points. In the flood relief support for the Nam Ma River commune, Gao Garin recorded the touching disaster relief scenes in words and words, showing his talent and true feelings.
Soon, Gogarin's name began to appear in the press of a higher level. Not satisfied with the status quo, he continued to learn photography and film printing, and appeared at many major social events with his camera. However, the tree was very popular, and he was reported by his rival Zhang Kenan's mother to go through the back door. Eventually, in his twenties, Gogarin returned to the countryside and traveled for several years.
At the end of the story, Gao Jialin's position as a private teacher was replaced by Gao Sanxing, who lost the opportunity to write and teach in a stable manner, and became a farmer. However, Gogarin's story does not end, and his life goes on. Liu Qiaozhen's appearance, for Gao Jialin, is like a warm sunshine that illuminates his once dark world. Liu Qiaozhen, the simple and kind peasant girl, as Liu Liben's second daughter, failed to enjoy the joy of reading. In the early years, due to Liu Liben's outdated concept and belief that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, Liu Qiaozhen missed the opportunity to study. However, this did not stop her thirst for knowledge, but instead admired Gogarin, who had excellent academic performance.
At that sad moment, when Gao Jialin was in pain because of his college entrance examination results, Liu Qiaozhen brought the jujube flower buns she made and enthusiastically came to comfort her. However, the distraught Gogarin misunderstood her good intentions and rebuked her. Although Gao Jialin later realized his impulsiveness and apologized to Liu Qiaozhen, the relationship was destined to be unequal from the beginning.
Having lost his job as a private teacher, Gogarin was forced to live a peasant life. At this time, the gentle and lovely Liu Qiaozhen appeared, and she gave Gao Jialin endless love. This warmth and thoughtfulness deeply moved Gao Jialin, and he also had love for Liu Qiaozhen. He tried his best to teach her some basic hygiene and safety knowledge, even though it seemed contrived to the villagers.
However, there has always been an insurmountable gap in this love. Not only did the two have a huge difference in their intellectual background, but the feudal concepts and customs in the village also became an insurmountable obstacle for them. The villagers sneered at Liu Qiaozhen's brushing of her teeth, believing that a farmer's excessive attention to hygiene was a sign of hypocrisy. This deep-seated prejudice and ignorance have undoubtedly deepened the estrangement between them.
As Gao Jialin was transferred to work in the city and became a communications officer, his communication with Huang Yaping gradually increased. He began to realize that he and Huang Yaping had more topics in common and similar worldviews. Gradually, his love for Liu Qiaozhen became weaker. He began to think that the love between himself and Liu Qiaozhen did not have a solid foundation. is different from Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei in "The World", the two of them are high school classmates and have similar spiritual pursuits and aspirations. Due to Liu Qiaozhen's lack of education, her world concept is limited to firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and she is bound to this small village.
She just wants to live an ordinary and peaceful life with her beloved. Gogarin, on the other hand, has great ambitions and ambitions, and he is eager to leave this small village and go out into the wider world. His path in life was bound to be tortuous and challenging. Gogarin was a man of great talent, and he was proud of the fact that his writings were always engaging. In daily communication, he often quotes scriptures and carefully considers every word, which makes Liu Qiaozhen admire him more and more. However, this also reflects Gao Jialin's implicit discrimination against Liu Qiaozhen. Unfortunately, due to the difference in the ideological realm of the two, they were unable to come together after all.
In high school, Gao Jialin and Huang Yaping were classmates, Huang Yaping was the class president at that time, and Gao Jialin was the learning officer. The two shared study and work experience and love for literature made them feel emotional. However, due to the etiquette and restraint of their school days, they did not express their feelings for each other.
Gao Jialin greatly admired Huang Yaping's talent and hard work, and he felt that the female classmates at that time generally lacked knowledge depth and were relatively tacky. With an ordinary girl like Liu Qiaozhen as a reference, Huang Yaping naturally became the object of boys' pursuit and crush.
Huang Yaping, who failed to take the college entrance examination because she was caring for her ailing father, became an announcer in the village after graduating from high school. She began to date Zhang Kenan, who pursued her, and the relationship between the two gradually deepened, almost to the point of talking about marriage. However, the sudden appearance of Gogarin disrupted their plans.
When Huang Yaping learned from the radio that Gao Jialin had become a communications officer in the city, she confessed that her feelings for Zhang Kenan were not true love, but only because of his unrequited love and family arrangements. At this time, Gao Jialin had already developed feelings for Huang Yaping, and he was tired of the ordinary life with Liu Qiaozhen, so he accepted Huang Yaping's feelings.
After learning of Gao Jialin's response, Huang Yaping immediately wrote to Zhang Kenan to tell him that she was going to break up with him. Zhang's mother, furious, believing that her son had been deceived, reported to the court that Gao Jialin had been offered a job as a traffic officer through his uncle, Gao Yude, as the director of the labor bureau. Soon, Gogarin lost his job and identity in the city and returned to the countryside. He didn't blame Zhang Kenan and Huang Yaping, but chose to break up with Huang Yaping.
After returning to Gaojia Village, Gao Jialin saw Ma Bolt and Liu Qiaozhen living happily together. After going through everything, he realized that what he really loved was Liu Qiaozhen. The past is irretrievable, the future can be changed, we should learn from the mistakes of the past and strive for a better future. Gao Jialin did not dwell on entanglement, he fulfilled Liu Qiaozhen and Ma Shuo, as well as Huang Yaping and Zhang Kenan with a tolerant and understanding mentality. It is difficult to say that Gogarin's life choices were entirely right or wrong. 's feelings for Liu Qiaozhen are actually a response to Liu Qiaozhen's silent dedication. He understands that Liu Qiaozhen's liking and admiration for him stems from her deep respect and admiration for intellectuals. When their love affair was discovered by the villagers, out of gratitude, he accepted Liu Qiaozhen's feelings and chose to face it with her.
However, in order to achieve greater ambitions, Gogarin left the countryside and went to the city to work as a communications officer. There, he met Huang Yaping and came together. His move is a reflection of his ambition. He always adheres to the pride of being a scholar and pursues a higher level of work and life. He was not satisfied with the status quo and longed for a more fulfilling life, so he chose to go to spiritual richness with Huang Yaping.
Gogarin did everything he could to show the arrogance of the intellectuals. What he longed for was not only fame and status, but also people's respect and admiration. To some extent, he is somewhat similar to Kong Yiji, in order to maintain the dignity of scholars, he gave up Liu Qiaozhen and Huang Yaping, who loved him deeply. After years of hard work, he eventually returned to his hometown and became a farmer.
In my opinion, Gao Jialin's abandonment of Liu Qiaozhen is an inevitable result. As a young man with lofty ideals, he has a wider world in his heart than just personal emotions. He dreams of being able to contribute to the country and care about national affairs and policies. From his vision and attitude as a teacher, to his participation in disaster relief as a communications officer, he has always been an outstanding young man who cares about the country.
However, he doesn't understand love. What he gave up was not only Liu Qiaozhen, but also himself. He gave up love and chose to devote himself to a great cause. Everyone has their own choices, and no one can be perfect. Gogarin's life is full of choices and decisions, and behind these choices are his pursuit and sacrifice of ideals and love. His story makes us think about the meaning and value of life, as well as the challenges and choices we face in pursuing our personal dreams.
