In the movie "Hot and Hot", Du Leying, played by Jia Ling, has feelings for the boxer played by Lei Jiayin, which may not be true love, and she may not even really love boxing.
The reason for this incident is that some people in the group don't understand why Jia Ling fell in love with Lei Jiayin and think that the plot lacks logic. I tried to explain it with another girl, but she still couldn't understand it, and thought that Lei Jiayin was not good to Du Leying, and didn't understand why she fell in love with him. The girl anxiously said that she was originally a person with low self-esteem, so she could especially understand Du Leying. I said, "A person with a complete personality like you cannot understand our 'gutter personality'. She agreed: "That's right! ”
There are many people like Du Leying around me. When I was younger, I resented their actions, but now at this age, I am able to accept what they are doing calmly and no longer feel angry.
Let me explain why Du Leying "loved" Lei Jiayin. There is a scene in the play where two people are looking at each other through the glass, in fact, Lei Jiayin is looking at himself, but Du Leying misunderstands that he is looking at himself. Du Leying is a person who has no ego at all, and she desperately wants to be "seen".
She transfers the house to her sister, acts as a bridesmaid for her best friend who snatched her boyfriend, and is used by her cousin to play the clown in the show, taking care of the fighter wholeheartedly and helping him achieve his dreams, all because she is a hollow person with no ego, and she needs to find the value of her existence through these actions.
What she loves is not Lei Jiayin, but his dream. When she found out that he was also a hollow person, she felt that the spiritual support she had found was instantly emptied.
This is the "Du Leying" around me, I told the person who questioned it in the group, I know a lot of such girls, when a man pursues her, she will "love" him, live with him and take care of him like a nanny. Because she doesn't have her own opinions, she wants to cling to someone who has a strong sense of self.
If this man leaves, she will look for the next one. It doesn't matter who this man is, she just needs to have something to do and someone to love.
So in my opinion, Du Leying may not really love boxing, she just filled this vacant position (dream) after the fighter left. In her empty body, a spine grew as a result.
I'm not saying it's wrong or bad for her to do this, I think it's normal. Many of us have never been able to find such a backbone in our lives, and we have lived listlessly all our lives. Du Leying found it, integrated it into her body, stood up, had something to love, and had "things" to do. It's already good and sufficient.
She was no longer a hollow person, she had her own goals, began to act positively, and became a person of flesh and blood.
