The struggle and rift of the love between the north and the south - when love encounters the impact of regional culture
Once, a young man from Guangdong, full of longing for the scenery of the north, set foot on the land of Harbin. Xiang Xiaoxiao, this authentic southern guy, was shocked by the magnificent scenery of the ice and snow world, and what made him even more excited was that in this silver-covered world, he met a Northeast girl - Xiao Yong.
Xiao Yong's straightforwardness and frankness are completely different from the girls Xiang Xiaoxiao has dated before. Her personality is like the wind of the north, direct and chilling, without the grace and subtlety of a southern girl. This very different personality attracted Xiang Xiaoxiao, and they quickly fell in love.
However, the beauty of love did not last long. As the lovers begin to face married life, regional cultural differences and personality conflicts begin to emerge.
Xiang Xiaoxiao found that Xiao Yong's living habits were very different from him. She likes to be lively and like to party with friends, while Xiang Xiaoxiao prefers a quiet life. What makes Xiang Xiaoxiao even more unbearable is that Xiao Yong seems to have a lot of male friends, and every time he gets together, he feels uneasy and jealous.
This insecurity and jealousy gradually devolved into quarrels and conflicts. Xiang Xiaoxiao's desire to control made Xiao Yong feel suffocated, and Xiao Yong's straightforwardness and fiery temper also made Xiang Xiaoxiao feel overwhelmed. Their married life began to get a mess.
Finally, one night, the quarrel reached its climax. Xiao Yong moved his hand angrily, and Xiang Xiaoxiao felt unprecedented frustration and helplessness. He picked up his mobile phone and called his father-in-law for help.
* The father-in-law on the other end did not give him much comfort and encouragement, but blamed him for not getting married in the first place. This sentence pierced Xiang Xiaoxiao's heart like a sharp knife, and he began to doubt his choice.
In fact, regional cultural differences are not an insurmountable chasm. Although the South and the North have very different customs and living habits, the power of love is enough to make these differences insignificant. However, in this marriage, neither Xiang Xiaoxiao nor Xiaoyong understood and tolerated each other enough. They were bound by their own stubbornness and prejudices, which eventually led to the breakdown of the marriage.
Looking back on this past, Xiang Xiaoxiao's heart was full of regret and reflection. He realized that love is not simply love, but also requires understanding, tolerance and communication between both parties. If they had been more tolerant and understanding, perhaps this marriage would not have come to this point.
The struggles and rifts of the love between the north and the south let us see the influence of regional culture on married life. But more importantly, we should understand that whether it is the South or the North, love needs the joint efforts and maintenance of both parties. Only in this way can love still shine under the impact of regional culture.
