"Mendi" and "Parental Love" represent the two major themes of realism and idealism respectively. The show is too realistic for the audience to accept. The story tells that Luo Xiaobei and He Chunsheng were forcibly linked together because of a baby kiss.
At the beginning, Luo Xiaobei had a boyfriend of his own, Ma Xiaolong, but due to the strong opposition of the other party's mother, their relationship ended without a hitch. However, He Chunsheng has always regarded Luo Xiaobei as the goddess in his heart, and although he is poor, he still persistently pursues her.
Eventually, his efforts paid off.
Xiaobei was moved by Chunsheng's letter and decided to marry him. However, her mother-in-law, Mama He, gave her a headache. In order to please her mother-in-law, Xiaobei bought a big fish for the first time, but she didn't get her mother-in-law's appreciation, but was told that she wouldn't live.
Fortunately, her sister-in-law helped her out of the siege and taught her the skills to please her mother-in-law. Xiaobei was very smart and bought new clothes for her mother-in-law, sister-in-law and eldest brother the next day. The mother-in-law saw that the woolen clothes were blooming, but after learning that they were worth 2,300 yuan, she exclaimed that she wanted to take them off quickly, saying that it was too expensive.
When the neighbors came to visit the house, He's mother showed off the clothes her daughter-in-law bought for her, and she paid great attention to face and self-esteem. However, when Chunsheng's mother saw the 2,300 yuan clothes that Xiaobei bought for her, her reaction was disgusting, which made people realize that it was a mistake for Xiaobei to give up Ma Xiaolong in the first place.
Although Chunsheng's mother has taken care of Xiaobei, her own son is still more important than Xiaobei. In the mother-in-law's opinion, the daughter-in-law is always an outsider, so when the son and the daughter-in-law have a conflict, she will stand by the son's side.
Before marriage, He Chunsheng took great care of Luo Xiaobei, but after marriage, she was just his daughter-in-law, no longer his princess.
As the saying goes, "the door is right", but the marriage of these two obviously does not conform to this principle. As a result, their problems after marriage were evident at the beginning of their marriage. Although He Chunsheng married Xiaobei as he wished, the outside world seemed to be just the son-in-law of the Luo family.
Coupled with Xiaobei's work to support his family, this makes the inferiority complex of the originally poor Chunsheng even more obvious.
In the world of feelings, He Chunsheng couldn't compare with Xiaobei, but he became more and more bored with her in his married life, and even indulged in Xiaoding's gentleness. His hypocrisy, low self-esteem and extremism are destined to make his married life unhappy.
Similarly, Ma Xiaolong was forced to break up with Xiaobei because his mother forced him to break up, and he has been in a slump since then. The love between the two cannot be realized because of the mother's paranoia, which is one of the most painful emotional experiences in life.
Watching Xiaobei walk into someone else's wedding hall, Ma Xiaolong's heart seemed to be stabbed. For the sake of Xiaobei, he was even willing to give up his life, but at the last moment, he chose to end his pain by committing suicide.
Although He Chunsheng once swore that he would die for Xiaobei, true love is not a verbal promise, but an actual action. Therefore, Ma Xiaolong is the one who loves Xiaobei deeply.
If Bruce Ma's mother had been able to tolerate the love between Xiaobei and her son, the ending might have been different. Love can be sweet when the door is not the right one, but marriage needs to be the right one.
After marriage, the conflict between them escalates, so finding the best talent for them is the most important thing.
