The first half of my life
I don't know, but I just love her, hopelessly love her. Chen Junsheng's words made the audience of "The First Half of My Life" inspired, revealing the bitterness and sweetness of a marriage. In this TV series, the proud Ling Ling didn't know until she died, Chen Junsheng, who had an annual salary of 1.5 million, only bought her 10,500 shoes in Luo Zijun's store, and this scene became a thought-provoking detail.
In the plot of Chen Junsheng's purchase of shoes, a psychological conflict came to his face. He is a man with a successful career, but his heart is full of contradictions and guilt. At this moment, he was in Luo Zijun's store, not only shopping, but also facing his former partner. The price of 10,500 yuan may be just a number, but in this scenario, it becomes extremely heavy.
At this moment, Chen Junsheng inevitably recalled the bits and pieces of the past. Luo Zijun was his wife and accompanied him through the ups and downs of life. She was familiar with his life and understood his preferences, and all of this turned into guilt in Chen Junsheng's heart. This kind of guilt is not because of Chen Junsheng's love for Ling Ling, but a reward for Luo Zijun's dedication.
At the same time, Chen Junsheng felt sorry for Luo Zijun's past. At the moment when he bought shoes, he may have seen the business that Luo Zijun had worked hard for him. Behind every pair of shoes is a story, and what distresss Chen Junsheng is that these stories are closely connected to his past. In the process of buying shoes, he may have been immersed in these memories, which made his distress for Luo Zijun reach its peak.
In the contrast between Ling Ling and Luo Zijun, Chen Junsheng felt the difference between the two more and more. Ling Ling seems to be weak, but she knows how to attack her mind and is good at taking advantage of Chen Junsheng's guilt and vulnerability. In contrast, Luo Zijun showed a tenacious and unyielding side, and she chose to "lower her posture" in the face of divorce instead of crying. This kind of perseverance made Chen Junsheng feel admired in his heart, but it also touched the guilt in his heart more deeply.
The head-to-head duel is an impressive scene in the TV series. In Luo Zijun's shop, the encounter between Chen Junsheng and Ling Ling became a silent confrontation. Ling Ling seemed to be proudly provoking in Luo Zijun's territory, while Luo Zijun responded with a peaceful attitude. This scene seems to be a portrayal of Chen Junsheng's inner struggle, and his eyes carry the intersection of past, present and future.
Luo Zijun's familiarity with Chen Junsheng's past life makes this duel even more profound. She understands Chen Junsheng's preferences and knows his living habits. All this made Chen Junsheng feel a warmth of being understood, but he also felt guilty for his past choices. In Luo Zijun's eyes, there may be a recollection of the happy times in the past, which makes Chen Junsheng even more unable to let go.
Why was Luo Zijun able to spend lavishly, while Ling Ling only bought two pairs of shoes and spent 10,500 yuan? The reason for this lies in the difference in their attitudes and outlooks on life. After the divorce, Luo Zijun did not choose to immerse himself in pain, but quickly cheered up and started a counterattack in his career. She used tenacity and courage to face adversity and thus maximize her own interests. On the contrary, Ling Ling seems to be proud, but she is confined to the shadow of Chen Junsheng, and she has never been able to truly get rid of the shackles of the past.
Luo Zijun's counterattack process is also a highlight of the TV series. Her success in her career not only shows the tenacity and wisdom of women, but also makes Chen Junsheng have more admiration for her. Luo Zijun's development in the workplace has become a kind of riposte to Chen Junsheng, proving that she is not "Chen Taikong has a name", but has real ability and value.
