"The First Half of My Life" has always been a topic of conversation among our workplace drama lovers. This time, I want to talk about the emotional entanglement between Lao Jin, who is nearly 50 years old, and Luo Zijun, who was divorced and brought with children, whom he once pursued, especially after a seemingly ordinary deerskin coat dispute, whether their relationship has come to an end.
In "The First Half of My Life", we can always find a lot of spiritual resonance at the intersection of ideal and reality. The characters portrayed in the play, just like ourselves in reality, everyone experiences the contradiction between ideals and reality in different times and circumstances. Lao Jin and Luo Zijun, one is a veteran in the workplace, the other is a divorced single parent, their intersection is not accidental, but a collision of fate and the times.
Lao Jin, nearly 50 years old, is the kind of old fox who has been rolling in the workplace for many years, and there are many unknown stories hidden under a "honest" face. The manager of the shopping mall's receiving department is stable and mature on the surface, but he seems a little lost in his feelings. His appearance seems to be a transition between ideal and reality, a bridge between expectation and reality.
Lao Jin's pursuit of Luo Zijun seems to be a pursuit of happiness, but in fact, there are more complex psychology hidden. First of all, Lao Jin has a Shanghai hukou and a property worth tens of millions, which gives him enough confidence at the material level. However, this seemingly "honest" manager hides some inferiority complex and vanity in his heart. He once experienced the failure of his marriage, and in order to maintain the marriage, he even gave his ex-wife a house after the divorce. Such a move made him known as a "good old man" among his colleagues, but it also hid more dark sides.
Lao Jin's pursuit of Luo Zijun is not only dependent on material conditions, but also driven by desire for control and vanity. He wants a beautiful woman to accompany him, but he is afraid that he is not worthy of Luo Zijun and is afraid of being pointed at by society. Such a complex heart was fully reflected when he asked Luo Zijun to take off his deerskin coat.
Compared with Lao Jin's complex psychology, Luo Zijun seems more real and frank. After the divorce, she was not in a hurry to start a new relationship, but the hardships of reality made her yearn for someone who knew the cold and the hot to take care of herself and her children. In the early days, she was willing to compromise reality and let Lao Jin participate in her life. However, when there was a conflict between truth and falsehood, she did not hesitate to choose to stick to her principles.
In this emotional contest, the final disagreement occurred in a seemingly insignificant quarrel - Lao Jin asked Luo Zijun to take off 380,000 "deerskin coats". At this moment, the relationship between the two is like a deerskin coat, which is broken at the touch of a button. Lao Jin's desire to control and Luo Zijun's true pursuit collided at this moment, and this marked that the relationship between the two had come to an end.
In "The First Half of My Life", the emotional entanglement between Lao Jin and Luo Zijun, who is nearly 50 years old, is like an episode that each of us may experience in real life. The contradiction between ideal and reality, the confrontation between control and true pursuit, these elements are intertwined, outlining a picture of the coexistence of workplace and emotion.
Perhaps, everyone can find their own shadow in this picture, and they can also draw some wisdom from the fate of these characters. Thank you for your continued support to me, let us continue to work together in this ocean of film and television, and taste the ups and downs of life.
