In the passage of time, we always inadvertently find ourselves standing at the crossroads of life, looking back on the past, looking back at the ideals and pursuits of the past, looking back at the once young self. The TV series "Thirty Only" is like a mirror, telling the struggles, confusions, dreams and realities of women in society.
In this story, we follow the protagonist Wang Manni through the ups and downs of her thirty-year-old. She's a working woman, she's a modern woman, she's an ordinary person around us. In the workplace, she is conscientious and hardworking, but she often feels the gap between classes. At home, she faced the struggles of love and the pressure of her family. It is in this context that Wang Manni's life trajectory is even more eye-catching.
Deep in her heart, there is a desire for a better life and the pursuit of success. However, reality is always full of twists and pitfalls. On this road of hard work, she is constantly looking for the motivation to move forward, and at the same time, she is also asking herself what is true happiness.
In the story, the dress that Gu Jia gave to Wang Manni becomes a symbolic object, which transcends the definition of fashion, but also a symbol of friendship and a turning point in life. The skirt is not only a decoration, but also an encouragement and support for Wang Manni. The skirt itself is like a canvas, showing Wang Manni's inner desire for a better future. Wearing this dress, she seems to have passed through the layers of social obstacles and bravely faced the challenges ahead. And Gu Jia, she is not only a smart and shrewd friend, but also a navigator in Wang Manni's life. By giving a skirt, Gu Jia is not only choosing a fashionable gift for Wang Manni, but also pointing out the direction for her future life.
However, the class gap in the story is like an invisible labyrinth that Wang Manni falls into. The appearance of Liang Zhengxian opened the door of this labyrinth and attracted Wang Manni to move towards a "better life". Liang Zhengxian represents another world, a high-class life, in stark contrast to Wang Manni's existing life.
Liang Zhengxian chose Wang Manni, not only for his appreciation of her appearance, but also for his insight into her inner desires. This selection is actually a torture of women and an in-depth analysis of class by society. Liang Zhengxian's proposal of "one south and one north" revealed the huge hidden dangers caused by the class gap and pushed Wang Manni into a complicated life choice.
The dress that Gu Jia gave to Wang Manni is actually an expectation for her, looking forward to her being able to have a better future, and expecting her to achieve greater success in the workplace and life. However, in the face of reality, behind the skirt are the pressures of the workplace, the responsibilities of the family, and various worries about the future. The skirt has become the dividing line between reality and dreams, making Wang Manni fall into deep thinking about the future.
This contradiction between reality and dream is also reflected in Liang Zhengxian's selection. What he represents is a vain, superficial desire, in stark contrast to Wang Manni's inner true pursuit. Through such a plot design, the director profoundly reflects the expectations of women in real society and the recognition of women's own value.
Wang Manni, Gu Jia and Liang Zhengxian, each character has a unique inner world. Wang Manni is a hard-working modern woman, her heart is full of yearning for the future, and at the same time she has worries about reality. Gu Jia is a wise man among friends, and she expresses her deep concern for Wang Manni by giving her skirt, and also provides a viable choice through her own experience.
Liang Zhengxian represents a part of that high-class society, and his appearance reveals all kinds of contradictions and hidden dangers in the real society. His selection of Wang Manni is actually a mockery of the values of the whole society, making the audience think deeply about the pressures and choices faced by women in modern society.
Through the intricate relationship between Wang Manni, Gu Jia and Liang Zhengxian, "Thirty Only" profoundly understands the choices of modern women in the workplace and life. The symbol of the skirt and the selection of Liang Zhengxian have become the finishing touch in the story, allowing the audience to think about the power of women in reality in laughter and tears.
In this fascinating story, each character is a soul living in a complex world, and their choices, givings, gains and losses are all sketched out in vivid pictures. "Thirty Only" is not only a TV series, but also a hymn to the power of women, praising all women who struggle in reality.
As the skirt represents, women should move confidently and firmly towards their future, not bound by class disparities and social expectations. At the crossroads of life, every woman deserves to define happiness in her own way and write her own story.
