Yu Bo is the most transparent person in Manni's hometown town, unmarried all his life, and runs a barber shop alone.
During the period when Manni returned to her hometown, she would go to Yu Bo to chat every time she was confused.
After eight years of struggle in Shanghai alone, Manni experienced emotional setbacks, lost her job, and returned to her hometown to fulfill her 27-year-old promise: at the age of 30, if she achieved nothing, she would go home.
Just after her 30th birthday, Manni's mother arranged a blind date for her.
Zhang Zhi, the director of the town, graduated with a master's degree, has an overseas study background, has a good reputation in the town, and is familiar with the world.
In real life, such a man is a "good son-in-law" in the eyes of most parents.
However, Wang Manni, who was going to accept her fate, would rather go back to the cage than choose Zhang Zhi and live a stable life.
Some people say that Wang Manni has a high vision and is not worthy of Zhang Zhi, and some people say that Wang Manni has her own ideas and can understand her choice.
And I belong to the latter.
Like Wang Manni, I have been adrift in a city for 8 years, only two hours away from my hometown, but every time I go back, I feel different.
Especially after reading the dialogue between Manni and Yu Bo, I realized that people really can't come back when they go out.
Manni is the only daughter in the family, no matter where she goes, her parents' house is hers, and there will never be a maiden home, and there is no boy in my family, and she is currently unmarried.
Before, I didn't understand why I felt this way, obviously I wasn't married, my original family was my own way out, I could come back when I was tired, rest and start again.
In fact, this is not the case, when we choose to leave our hometown, maybe home is not home, and after many years of being away, the habits we have developed in our original family will be changed, and even our temperament will change.
When we return to our original family, we have long lost the original sense of familiarity, and this is just a place for us to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and relax temporarily.
Many times, we think that if our parents are there, we will have a home, and it is not good to mix outside, at least there is a way out for our parents.
As everyone knows, the only way for adults to retreat is themselves, and our hometown is only where we were born and raised, and it is never a place that can be returned.
Just like Yu Bo said: All those who choose to drift must know at the moment they walk out of the house that in the future, they will be their own home. The hometown that my parents said was the way back, just listen to it.
This Spring Festival, like Wang Manni, I fell out of love and lost my job, and I used the excuse of the Spring Festival to temporarily hide at home, in order to reduce expenses, in order to escape my incompetence, and in order to temporarily heal.
However, after the Spring Festival, I still have to embark on the road of wandering and return to that strange and familiar city.
Compared with me, maybe Wang Manni is lucky, at least Zhang Zhi can arrange a compilation job for her, but in the end she still chose to return to Shanghai, back to the place where she had been adrift for 8 years without results.
Many people in the comment area are accusing Wang Manni, saying that she is selfish, her parents are old, and she has to go out.
However, everyone is an individual and has their own life to live, and children are not born just to support their parents.
We choose to wander outside, not because we are unfilial, but because we want to find more possibilities, do our best, live the life we want, and let our parents enjoy their old age in peace.
Therefore, without the suffering of others, do not persuade others to be kind, have not experienced the experience of others, do not judge others at will, no one wants to wander outside, sometimes it is more helpless, for life.
May all wandering people find a place for their souls to dwell, and have the mentality of "this place of peace is my hometown".
