At the age of "not as good as a dog", you may have some ways to survive, you may have a certain economic foundation, and you may have a stable emotional life, but is this the life you want right now?"Mature Years" uses the lives of the children of the old Ni family who have entered middle age, and once again puts the spotlight on this group of middle-aged people who are in crisis.
The eldest brother Ni Weimin has borne too much for this family since he was a child, he is a human being, and he does things according to the rules, although he is not rich and expensive, but he can be regarded as a hot kang head for his wife and children. The honest Ni Weimin and the shrewd Wu Erhu took the "mom boy" Ni Jun and the foreign daughter-in-law Liu Hongyan to work hard for their own lives. Like most ordinary families, every member of the family has a job, but the income is not high, and buying a house for the young couple is an insurmountable mountain for the whole family. In the final analysis, all the contradictions in this family stem from "poverty", and even the old lady with Alzheimer's disease thought about leaving more inheritance to her eldest son's family when she explained what happened after her death.
The second child, Ni Weiqiang and Zhang Chunmei's family, is a typical Kochi family, with a leading standard of living, but no happiness at all. For the careful arrangement of the strong woman Zhang Chunmei, from the elderly to the children, there are such troubles of being arranged, and even Zhang Chunmei herself insists on doing a good job in the career that has fallen behind with exquisite makeup every day. After experiencing setbacks, stop and re-examine yourself and re-plan the rest of your life. Zhang Chunmei said when she left her job: "Life is divided into three realms, see yourself, see heaven and earth, and see all living beings", it is not easy to "see yourself" at this age, of course, Ni Weiqiang's ** trip back also "see yourself". Their marriage has gone beyond a certificate through the jungle and over the swamp, like a phoenix nirvana.
Ni Weizhen, the little daughter of the Ni family, is a typical modern woman, independent and free, she can not only see the bayonet in the game with her little nephew, but also take the white-haired old lady to do beauty together, her style of action has nothing to do with secular concepts. From an older leftover girl to a sister-brother relationship, to a flash marriage, and even preparing to be a single mother, Ni Weizhen's behavior is very casual, and it seems to be absurd, but it is not against harmony. Fortunately, after Ni Weizhen met He Zhichao, she was still committed to love and family after all.
At first, I didn't understand the meaning of mature years, but after watching the whole drama, I had a feeling: "Mature Years" is like Mr. Qian Zhongshu's "Siege", people in the city want to go out, and people outside the city want to come in. If you really reach this age, you don't have to care about other people's eyes, as long as it suits you.
