In Zhang Ailing's "Half Life", Gu Shen's love tragedy is destined in his character
"Half Life" is Zhang Ailing's first feature**, formerly known as "Eighteen Spring". Later, Zhang Ailing was dissatisfied with the content of the book, so she changed the title of the book to "Half Life".
Zhang Ailing's ** is indeed a little different. Although there are inevitable deliberate coincidences and misunderstandings in the popular**, the conflict between ideals and reality, the tragedy of the characters, and the excavation of human nature through the tragedy of time make this ** have a character that surpasses the popular**. Therefore, it has been continuously put on the movie screen and has become a very representative ** of that era.
Shen Shijun's brilliance under cowardice.
Recently, I watched "Half Life" again, and I sighed for the love tragedy of Gu Manzhen and Shen Shijun.
When I was a child, I didn't know anything about this TV series, and when I watched it, I only remembered that Shen Shijun was a rich kid, kind and elegant, he and Gu Manzhen fell in love, but fate played tricks, they missed each other, and even if they finally reunited, time was so far away that they couldn't go back.
Watching "Half Life" again in the past few days, I understand what fate is. Long before the role of Shen Shiyun appeared, the love tragedy of Gu Manzhen and Shen Shiyun was doomed to failure.
In the comments, cowardice has always been synonymous with Shen Shijun. He is kind, generous, and like a gentleman, but he is also weak, suspicious, and unconfident. At first, this was not obvious, but as his relationship with Man Zhen grew closer, this weakness began to manifest itself and became more and more irreparable.
The first big confrontation between Shen Shijun and Gu Manzhen was the result of Shen Shijun's cowardice and inferiority. The first big confrontation between Shen Shijun and Gu Manzhen was the result of Shen Shijun's cowardice and inferiority.
At that time, Gu Manzhen worked as a nanny at the home of Mr. Yang, a successful businessman, teaching two children. Shen Shijun and Man Zhen were in love at the time, so she waited in the café in front of Mr. Yang's house, wanting to surprise Man Zhen. After work that day, Mr. Yang asked the driver to take Man Zhen home. Man Zhen refused, but after several excuses, she still accepted Mr. Yang's kindness and followed the driver into the car that Shen Shijun saw.
He could have followed them, but didn't. When she saw Man Zhen sitting in a car far away from her, the afternoon's preparation was in vain, she became depressed and depressed, and not only that, but when they met the next day, she also blamed Man Zhen for all her sins, saying that she was an arrogant woman.
Shen Shijun, who lacks a sense of responsibility, meets Man Zhen, who is independent and has her own ideas - she does not dare to take responsibility, so she can only miss it.
Cowardly people also have a weakness, that is, they are easy to shirk their responsibilities and use their cowardice to hurt others. Cowardice is actually the same as not daring to take responsibility, not taking responsibility.
In fact, in this matter, Wen Jing took a lot of responsibility. If Shen Shijun dares to hit Man Zhen, all misunderstandings will be solved. If she faced the fact that she had no money to buy a car, she would not blame Man Zhen, and she would not anger Man Zhen, who has always been kind and tolerant...
But if there is no if, Shen Shijun's character is already doomed, and the conflict between him and Man Zhen is inevitable. Even if this conflict does not happen, it will happen next time, it will happen next time, it will happen next time, it will happen next time, it will happen next time.
Because of his weakness, he thought that his feudal family could not accept that his girlfriend's sister was a dancer. In fact, as Manzhen said, there is no shame in her sister Manlu being forced to become a dancer in order to support her family. Besides, Manlu has been married for a long time and is currently living a stable life, if Shen Shijun can explain it clearly to his family, there is still room for change, but Shen Shijun chose to hide the fact that he already has a boyfriend and girlfriend, and even denied that Manzhen has a sister. Not only that, but he also concealed the fact that Man Zhen had a sister.
Gu Manzhen is a very rational, positive, and strong new female image, so Shen Shijun's misbehavior directly caused a rift between them. Shen Shijun was imprisoned by his brother-in-law Zhu Hongcai ** in Zhu's house for a year. After Shen Shijun calmed down, he realized his mistake and went to Man Zhen, but his cowardice and paranoia made it easy for him to believe that Man Zhen had married someone else, so he returned to Nanjing in grief and married Miss Shi, whom he did not love, Man Zhen accidentally conceived a child and was imprisoned in a dark room by his sister's brother-in-law for nearly a year.
How desperate Gu Manzhen was at that time, and how much readers hated Shen Shijun's cowardice. When you meet a cowardly person in love, life will flow without a bottom line. She does not dare to fight, unconsciously obeys others, has no self-confidence, and finds it difficult to give the girl a sense of security.
The role of the original family in shaping Shen Shijun's character.
Shen Shijun's weakness is actually largely related to his family background. Shen Shijun's father, Shen Xiaotong, was a well-known leather merchant in Nanjing, but the Shen family was not harmonious. Shen Xiaotong and Shen Shijun's mother have been separated for a long time, Shen's mother lives in an old house, and Shen Xiaotong lives with his aunt. Shen's mother naturally complained about this situation, because she was a stubborn, strong, and longing for her husband's love. As the wife of the head of the family, she is not close to her husband, and she is no better than a widow. This made her lack of self-confidence, and she was even worse than Xiuchun, who relied on her husband in another courtyard. Shen Shijun, who was dependent on his mother, gradually developed an inferiority complex, and began to doubt Man Zhen's lack of self-confidence, worried that Man Zhen would look down on him and find a new love, and then suspected Yang Xiuqing, who already had two children.
From a psychological point of view, in a family, the father shapes the child's behavior, and the mother teaches the child tolerance and understanding. Shen Shijun's relationship with his father has not been very good, and he has not seen his father for a long time. In fact, he lacks fatherly love, so he is not brave enough and lacks responsibility. On the other hand, Shen Shijun's mother has a strong personality and likes to take care of everything for him. Although Shen Shijun hated such a mother and rebelled against her, he still silently obeyed her.
Later, Shen Xiaotong returned to his mother, and his mother said to him:"After so many years, I finally got rid of this bad breath, and your father can leave this woman and come back to me because you are my son!"Shen Shijun really accepted this sentence. So, he stayed in Nanjing for his mother, gave up his ideals, took over the family business, and became the owner of the leather shop he once hated.
His cowardice not only hurt Man Zhen and lost his love, but also buried his ideals.
Ruo Hao in "Deep Love and Rain" is also a natural coward. On the surface, he always looks honest and aggressive, but in fact, whenever Yiping dislikes him, he is still speechless, and can only say a few so-called cruel words to save some face for Yiping. Because what Yiping said is indeed the truth, but he is ashamed to admit it, and he is even more reluctant to admit his own fault, because in his world, there are only other people's faults, not his own faults. He had a relationship with Keyun, but he was not responsible for it, even"Accidentally"Forgot about it. Keyun gave birth to a child, but in the end she didn't get it, and she was angry about it. She is still very angry about Yiping's accusations. She didn't want this matter to affect Fang Yu, but who knew if Fang Yu would become the next Keyun. r'Hao's character is constant, and future ups and downs are inevitable.
4. Domestic violence: a distorted manifestation of cowardice.
In interpersonal communication, I am most afraid of meeting cowardly people. As the saying goes, a man is the backbone of the family, and if this backbone does not stand, the family will naturally fall apart. You want to face the problem directly with him, but he hesitates and always avoids talking about it. Such a person is not only easily disappointed in his career, but also difficult to find the reason in himself, so there will be a lot of communication with relatives and relatives. Proper communication is an important part of a healthy relationship, and if not done well, the problems that come with it will be endless.
Even some cowardly people, like Shen Shijun in "Half Life", do not hesitate to take extreme measures in order to hide their inner inferiority complex, which is obviously their own jealousy, but blindly blaming others means hurting themselves and their relatives along the way. Serious cases of domestic violence are also used to satisfy the hidden desire for control and externalize low self-esteem and cowardice. Many victims of domestic violence choose a seemingly terrible but cowardly way of coping due to their inability to deal with the problem correctly and lack coping skills.
As we have already mentioned, there are only one in a million cases of domestic violence, and there are many such cases, so we must be vigilant. Not all perpetrators of domestic violence are men, and there are relatively few female perpetrators of domestic violence, but they still exist.
When making friends, it is sometimes difficult to really get to know a person without spending a lot of time together, but family has a great influence on a person. Looking at a person's original family, you can look at the character without looking at the family background.
