In the hit TV series "Thirty Only", Wang Manni's 3,000 yuan flowing water banquet and Zhong Xiaoqin's 500 yuan home-cooked meal form a vivid contrast. Although Wang Manni's birthday party is extraordinary, when we take a closer look, we can find her frugality and helplessness behind the celebration. The difference is that the simple celebration of Zhong Xiaoqin's family, although unassuming, reveals a warm and luxurious atmosphere.
Wang Manni's thirtieth birthday, in order to make this day more grand, her parents specially booked a hotel in the town and held a 3,000 yuan flowing water banquet for her. Exquisite snacks were presented one after another, and the whole scene seemed to return to the era of material scarcity but human satisfaction. However, when the neighbors helped clean up, we realized that the chopsticks and dishes were all borrowed. The frugality and helplessness behind this excitement release a subtle sense of shabbyness.
In contrast, Zhong Xiaoqin's family, who live in the metropolis, did not celebrate so publicly. Even if there are only two people eating, Dad Zhong will carefully prepare four dishes and one soup. He changes his dishes according to the season, and although it is not luxurious, it reflects the pursuit of quality of life. This ingenuity reminds people of the ancient literati's attention to food.
Formally, although the Wang family's 3,000-yuan flowing water banquet was lively, the shabby nature of borrowing from the east and the west was difficult to hide. On the contrary, although the Zhong family's 500 yuan home-cooked meal is simple and simple, it exudes a kind of luxury and warmth. These two ways of celebrating birthdays also reflect two different states of life.
The Wang family's fanfare and flowing water seat attracted the residents of the entire town, and Wang Manni's single status became a ruthless "gossip" topic. This blatant exposure undoubtedly increased her external pressure. On the contrary, the low-key celebration of the Zhong family is like a warm and light cocoon, guarding the simple and contented days of this small family.
It can be said that the Wang family's 3,000 yuan flowing water seat is a little funny and sad under the lively appearance. The Zhong family's 500 yuan home-cooked meal is completely a poetic portrayal of life, warm, simple and touching. As "Dream of Red Mansions" said, the beauty of life does not lie in the glory and happiness, but in the authenticity and beauty of life.
The Wang family chose to pursue superficial prosperity, which reflected the unpretentious but subtle luxury of the Zhong family's life. This contrast reveals that in the current glamorous consumption era, people swallow dates and lose their understanding of the essence of life. On the contrary, those simple and simple existences embody the rare preciousness and beauty in life. In the subtle details of life, we may be able to find a more real and warm happiness.
