There are no impermeable walls in the world, and there are no corners in the world. ”
This is a line of Song Siming in "Snail House", but it also perfectly outlines the emotional context of the whole story.
Jiang Miaomiao, with a noble birth and a prominent father, should have become Song Siming's marriage insurance. But this marriage is not a storm, but a change in Song Siming's fate. Jiang Miaomiao seems to be a ** list, and Song Siming needs to outline various responsibilities and expectations.
Song Siming chose to marry Jiang Miaomiao, not out of deep feelings for her, but out of her background and status. The grandeur of the wedding and the warmth of the banquet are all to cover up this marriage that is not out of love. In this relationship, Jiang Miaomiao's existence is more like a symbol of identity, and it is Song Siming's declaration of his social status to the world.
In married life, Jiang Miaomiao's silent efforts failed to win Song Siming's sincerity. Her father's status is just an unavoidable responsibility for Song Siming. After marriage, the symbolic failure of the toilet door to close has become the epitome of the estrangement between the two. And Song Siming's indifference to Jiang Miaomiao is a true portrayal from the inside out.
At the same time, another woman in the middle of the dwelling, Seaweed, has a craving for material things that is almost comparable to a craving for air. This urban woman, entangled in long-term economic pressure and family responsibilities, has a strong desire for money and material things. And Song Siming happens to be the oasis of longing in her heart.
Under Song Siming's coat of success, there is a heart he wants to escape. He took a fancy to seaweed and saw her as an antidote to life. Through the abundance of substances, he succeeds in attracting seaweed, which plunges her into a whirlpool of feelings. This emotional game, like an economic transaction, involves the two in the dispute between interests and feelings.
It's not a love, it's a deal of material and desire. In the context of this modern city, money and material things have become the main theme of people's lives. Seaweed is like a helpless reed, swept away by Song Siming's material waves, and she seems to have found a temporary sense of satisfaction in the relationship.
However, the deal is not just about giving and taking. In the story, we witness the urgent relationship between Song Siming and Seaweed again and again. Especially the ** of that work time, which makes the atmosphere of the whole story tense and full**.
The two-hour lunch break is a time for ordinary people to rest. However, for Song Siming, these two hours seem to be the most precious time in his life. He was willing to take a special trip to take a 2-hour leave and take a taxi to the villa, just to spend a short moment with seaweed. Such behavior makes people ask, how anxious is Song Siming?
For these two hours, they lingered indulgently, forgetting their identities and responsibilities, and only their passion for each other. The depiction of this scene not only shows the passion between the two, but also highlights Song Siming's eager desire for seaweed. Taking a 2-hour lunch break seemed like a life-and-death adventure for him, but he didn't hesitate.
In this whirlpool of feelings, Jiang Miaomiao's silent dedication has become a burden in Song Siming's heart. Marriage was originally a transaction, but Jiang Miaomiao invested sincere feelings in this marriage. Her silent dedication became a burden on Song Siming's heart, making him feel a kind of shackles that he couldn't get rid of.
At the same time, the enthusiasm of seaweed has become the spice of his life. She is a representative of Song Siming's pursuit of excitement in life, and she is the harbor where he finds passion in the ordinary. In contrast, Jiang Miaomiao's responsibility has become a fetter, and Seaweed's enthusiasm has become a relief.
This cruel contrast reveals Song Siming's feeling of taking advantage of marriage but seeking excitement outside. For him, marriage has become synonymous with responsibility, and seaweed has become a gentle haven for him to escape from reality.
However, this emotional entanglement, intertwined with desire and responsibility, reaches its end at the climax of the plot. Song Siming was investigated for corruption, and in desperation, he chose to kill himself. This turn of events makes the direction of the whole story even more confusing, and it also makes people reflect on the cause and ending of this relationship.
Between social responsibility and personal desire, Song Siming chose an extreme way to tie himself up. This may be a reflection on what he has caused, or a kind of helplessness about life. This ending makes people sigh, and it also makes people think more deeply about marriage, desire and responsibility.
The relationships between the characters presented in "Snail House" are both real and hypocritical, like a mirror reflecting the complex inner world of people in urban life. Jiang Miaomiao's silent dedication, Song Siming's desire and responsibility, and seaweed's material desires, all reflect the reality of marriage and the complexity of human nature in contemporary society.
Life is originally a dwelling, and we are all living in our own way. In this city, people move forward in the interweaving of desires and responsibilities, some choose marriage, some choose to escape, and finally find their place in the whirlpool of life.
Perhaps, the story in "Snail House" is a true and hypocritical portrayal of our surroundings. In the mists of marriage, everyone has their own role, and life is this symphony of hypocrisy and truth. Let's encourage each other, continue to accompany each other with hope, and face all the difficulties in life.
Finally, I look forward to readers leaving your views and sharing your thoughts on the intricate relationship in "Snail House". Perhaps, everyone has their own story and lives in their own way in this city.
