"Snowflakes That Float" is a TV series set in the background of the resumption of the college entrance examination in 1977, telling the love and fate of a group of educated youths and rural girls in a special era. The play premiered on Beijing Satellite TV in 2011, starring Zhang Yi, Pan Yuchen, Liu Weiwei, Tu Songyan, Mao Boy, etc., and was hotly discussed and loved by the audience.
The finale of the series left the audience feeling sorry and puzzled. The main heroine, Liu Cuicui, unfortunately passed away from a heart attack at her wedding, saying goodbye to her beloved Zhao Changtian. What kind of tragedy was Cuicui's death? And what kind of helpless choice is Zhao Changtian's choice?
Cuicui is a beautiful and kind rural girl who has had a crush on Zhao Changtian, an educated youth from the city, since she was a child. In order to deeply root her love for him, she even did not hesitate to give up her college entrance examination opportunity, and even gave birth to a daughter for him. However, in the depths of Zhao Changtian's heart, he has always had the existence of another girl at the beginning of his life. Chu Meng is a young and beautiful college student with a superior family background, and Zhao Changtian is a classmate and lover. Zhao Changtian only has gratitude and responsibility for Cuicui, not true love.
Cuicui's fate is destined to be tragic. In the process of sending Zhao Changtian to take the exam, she accidentally caught a cold, which resulted in rheumatic heart disease. It is a disease that cannot be sustained by drugs and can only be sustained by drugs. She chose to hide the facts about Zhao Changtian's illness, only her friend Ding Zi knew. She didn't want to burden Zhao Changtian, and she didn't want him to give up Chu Meng because of guilt. She silently loved the person she loved and waited for him.
Cuicui's waiting was exchanged for Zhao Changtian's return. After graduating from university, Zhao Changtian decided to give up the postgraduate entrance examination and return to Fenghuangtun to become a rural teacher, fulfilling his promise to Cuicui, which was also his own choice. He learned about Cuicui's illness, understood the child she gave birth to, and bravely took responsibility, took care of Cuicui and the child, and tried his best to ** her illness. His feelings for Cuicui are a kind of gratitude and protection, but is there really love in it?
However, Cuicui's happiness was short-lived. On the day she married Zhao Changtian, due to being too excited, she had a heart attack and collapsed at her wedding, and finally died in Zhao Changtian's arms. Her death was a relief and a sacrifice. She traded her life for Zhao Changtian's freedom, allowing him to chase his true love. She exchanged her love for Zhao Changtian's happiness, so that he could have his real family. Her death is both a great and a sorrow. She used everything she had to prove her love for Zhao Changtian, but she didn't get Zhao Changtian's love for her.
Zhao Changtian's choice sparked controversy among the audience. Some people think that he is a responsible man who has not forgotten his promises, has not given up his conscience, and has lived up to Cuicui's love. He repaid Cuicui's efforts with his actions. However, there are also those who believe that he is a selfish man who has never really loved Cuicui and just chose to stay with her out of guilt and responsibility, and he just hurt Cuicui's heart to escape his feelings. He traded his happiness for Cuicui's death.
Zhao Changtian's choice is actually a kind of helplessness. He has always had the shadow of Chu Meng in his heart, and his love for Chu Meng is pure and persistent, and it has never changed. And the feelings for Cuicui are complex and contradictory, and they have changed over time. He can't forget Chu Meng, he can't abandon Cuicui, he can't give up his dreams, and he can't betray his conscience. He is trapped in tangles and pain, and his choice is one of struggle and stumbling.
The finale of "Snowflakes That Float" is both a tragedy and a beauty. The play shows the love and fate of a group of educated youths and rural girls in a special era. This kind of pure and loyal love, the love of responsibility and responsibility, and the love of helplessness and sacrifice are all touching to the heart. It moves us and makes us think about what is the true meaning of love, what is the true meaning of happiness, how should we weigh in our choices, and what is the value of life.
Despite the brutal and sad ending, we were impressed by the characters in the play. Cuicui proved her persistence and dedication to Zhao Changtian with her love, and her death made us sigh at her greatness and sorrow. Zhao Changtian's choice makes us think about the complexity of human nature and the difficulty of choice. "Snowflakes That Float" provides the audience with an opportunity to think deeply and taste love and life, it reveals the meaning of sticking to our beliefs, and makes us cherish and appreciate the people and time around us more.
