In the work "Mansion Gate", the ** grandmother of the Bai family, that is, the wife of Uncle Bai Yingyuan and the mother of Bai Jingyi, ended her life in a tragic way. For the first time, many people may feel that the death of ** milk is a bit sudden and meaningless, after all, her husband Uncle Bai has not yet been righteous. However, after deep thought, we will find that the death of ** milk has its inevitability.
First of all, only when the ** milk dies, the news that Uncle Bai is not dead can be properly concealed. If the ** grandmother is still alive, it is inappropriate to inform the second grandmother of her behavior of hiding the uncle in private, and it is irresponsible not to inform her. The most fundamental reason for this is the weakness and lack of assertiveness of the milk itself. When Uncle Bai used his family's belongings to fill the deficit of the third child, ** Grandma only knew how to cry in the room, but had no practical action to deal with it. She neither revealed the truth to the old man, nor did she ask the third couple for silver. It can be seen that she is not a strong and reasonable woman. Therefore, it is almost impossible for her to keep this secret for more than ten years, and once provoked, she is likely to tell the secret.
On the other hand, if the ** grandmother has always thought that her husband has died, how can the second grandmother bear to let her be immersed in grief for a long time? The child's lack of father's love can be made up for by the efforts of the second grandmother, but the grandmother's longing for her husband is irreplaceable. Instead of worrying about the secret being leaked or making the ** milk suffer for many years, it is better to let her end her life directly by hanging, which is more direct and decent.
In addition, the second grandmother has a profound influence on the children in the big house. Bai Jingyi is in charge of the family's core business, and has been preparing secret recipes when the second grandmother is in charge. The children of Dafang can be independent in the process of growing up, which is undoubtedly due to the cultivation and influence of the second grandmother. For example, although Bai Yufen married far away in Jinan, she became a powerful young grandmother in the local area, all of which are inseparable from the teachings and guidance of the second grandmother. Just imagine, if they had been living with ** milk, maybe the life trajectory of these children would be completely different.
To sum up, the death of ** milk is not a simple trick of fate or a personal tragedy, but has its profound social and psychological factors. Through her death, we can understand more deeply the complex human nature and fate choices presented in the work "Mansion Gate". Growing up, I had to witness self-blame and self-loathing in my mother's life. Such a lifestyle makes me doubt her optimism about her future life. Although the second grandmother is able to manage the daily expenses of the big house, she cannot control the education and growth of the children. After all, the way a mother thinks deeply affects her child's future.
As the starting point of the child, the mother subtly shapes their character. This also highlights the benevolence of the uncle's doctor. When he learned the news of his wife's suicide, his grief was palpable. The grief comes from the deep conjugal relationship between him and the ** milk, and the anger comes from the revenge of the Zhan Wangfu that caused his family to break up. Even in this case, the uncle still chose to be released from prison to treat the old Fujin of the Zhan family. His medical skills are not only superb, but also noble. No matter what kind of patients he faces, he always adheres to the principle of treating diseases and saving lives. In the eyes of Uncle Bai, there is no distinction between high and low patients, and there is no boundary between good and bad, right and wrong.
Whether in Beijing or Xi'an, he adheres to this belief. It was also the death of ** milk that made the feud between the Bai family and the Zhan family no longer resolved. The three grandmothers of the Bai family represent the three attitudes of women in the old society. The uncle's benevolence, loyalty, filial piety, and brilliant medical skills made him generous when he saw poor people on the street. ** Milk is simple and loyal, she silently supports her uncle's career, even if the children in the family can't even afford decent clothes. After learning of the uncle's death, ** milk chose to commit suicide to seek relief, her world completely revolves around the uncle, without him, life loses its meaning.
The second grandfather's personality is relatively cowardly, while the second grandmother is shrewd and capable. Although the second grandfather was unable to take on family responsibilities or manage his wife, this gave the second grandmother the opportunity to show her talents. She shouldered the heavy responsibility of the rise and fall of the Bai family and became the pillar of the family. In the gate of the mansion, the second grandmother is a bold heroine, she is not confined to family trivialities, and she does not care about her husband's joys and sorrows. The second master never saw her until his death, but this did not affect her tenacity and open-mindedness. The third master, Bai Yingyu, is sleek and selfish, while the third grandmother is smart and pragmatic, she has never cried and begged because of the third master's behavior, and has always lived her life sensibly. **The death of the grandmother highlights the courage of the second grandmother, in the matter of investing in the old plaque, she decided to give four shares to the orphans of the big house, which amazed the third master, and also made people deeply admire her mind.
Under the social change, the growth of women is particularly significant. Two generations faced the plight of their husbands, and the second grandmother chose to commit suicide, while the second grandmother told the third grandmother to be optimistic about Bai Jingyi's daughter-in-law, Aunt Cui. Cuigu firmly stated that she would not commit suicide and vowed to educate her son to avenge his father. The second grandmother praised Cuigu as a child from a poor family, but this also reflected the improvement of women's thinking and status from the side. They have learned to think for themselves and to face setbacks. In the context of that era of change, women gradually became independent and confident, and the tragedy of ** milk and acacia flowers will eventually become history.
The life and death of the characters in "Mansion Gate" are not arbitrary, but reflect the changes of the times and the growth of women.
