After watching Balzac's "The Tall Old Man", it was the first time that I felt the importance of money in such a mestry.
If college students want to enter the upper class, they need money to buy a business.
The aristocratic men of Paris wanted a good life and chose to marry the daughters of wealthy merchants.
I can't die" I don't want to do anything without a profit of 10,000 francs.
Before he died, the old man Gao was in great pain in bed, and he thought about returning to his old business to earn millions for his daughter to squander.
The importance of money, especially here with Old Man Gao, is especially important. Because the love of his two daughters who care about him the most is all maintained by money.
Old man Gao divided all the money he earned among his two daughters as a dowry, each daughter 800,000 francs, while Old Man Gao himself only kept a little pension money.
But before Old Man Gao finally closed his eyes, he didn't wait for the daughter he was thinking about, because he couldn't take out any of them, so the two sons-in-law didn't let their daughters come over to take care of them.
The two sons-in-law usurped the dowry of 800,000 francs from the two daughters, but they did not give their wives any money. The two daughters' usual expenses, clothes and jewelry for the dance party were not given, and the old man Gao had to pay for it.
After the death of Old Man Gao, the college students took care of everything for him. When the college students came to ask for the cost of handling the funeral, the two sons-in-law had passed away from the old man, and the whole family was grieving and could not see the guests.
And the daughter of the old man Gao, she asked her father for the money to make her own clothes, and she also spent a lot of money to support her lover. Find some little white faces with the title of earl but poor and white, and raise them, and exhaust the old father to death.
From the old man Gao, tell successful people not to give their career and money to others to prove their love.
As long as my career is in my hands, as long as my money is in my hands, they will love me, and they will not become white-eyed wolves.
Seeing that when the old man Gao was rich, the two daughters rushed to let him live at home, and when he sneezed, his daughter would take care of him meticulously. The son-in-law's family held banquets and let him sit at the table, and he was respectful.
When the old man Gao was cheated out of all his money, none of his daughters and sons-in-law went to see him when he died, and when the funeral was held, the two sons-in-law just sent two empty cars to the cemetery together.
Before his death, Old Man Gao admitted that he misused his father's love and did not treat himself as a human being for the sake of his daughter. said that the two daughters took revenge on this father's love fiercely and tortured him like executioners.
But at the end, when he couldn't open his eyes with his eyes closed, he felt the tears of the college students falling on his body, when he was being lifted up by two college students to change the sheets, thinking that it was the two daughters, so he smiled again, very relieved.
Only loving yourself is the beginning of lifelong happiness.
In the end, the choice of the college student Rastigne is really embarrassing. An ambitious young man, who has been in Paris for only one year with the hopes of his family, voluntarily falls into this vile and vicious high society.
