In 1971, Thomas Caleri said, "The most important thing in a person's life is not to pursue an ambiguous future, but to cherish the present that is clear in his hands." In the drama "Cliff", Zhou Yi hesitated between two women, and finally he chose to grasp the clear present at hand. This choice was deeply regretted by many viewers, because Zhou Yi's living environment and beliefs made it impossible for him to live an ordinary life. He knew how to deal with danger at ease, and he also knew how to deal with a dangerous person like Gao Bin, but all this was disrupted after meeting Gu Qiuyan.
When they first met, Gu Qiuyan knew that her task was to pick up a man named Zhou Yi and spend some time with him. She suddenly felt a little sad and asked Lao Wei, "Does my husband know?" Lao Wei replied that he knew, which made Gu Qiuyan feel complicated. She was going to live with this strange man for a year, if not more, and her husband acquiesced to it.
She asked Lao Wei to tell her husband that she was more than a month pregnant. Gu Qiuyan's heart was full of anticipation, she might think that pregnancy would allow her to be relieved of this task, or that her husband would take her to the mountain when he found out. Therefore, she did not intend to establish a deep emotional connection with Zhou Yi.
However, Gu Qiuyan and Zhou Yi's first meeting almost went wrong, the square-framed sunglasses that Zhou Yi used to connect were broken on the train, and Gu Qiuyan almost mistook Lu Ming, who was wearing sunglasses, for Zhou Yi. After going back, Gu Qiuyan complained again and again, blaming Zhou Yi's sunglasses for not being conspicuous enough, and complaining that there was no ** from the other party in the materials given to her. A woman has a lot of complaints about another man, which usually means that she has no feelings for this man and does not want to be with the other person. Gu Qiuyan's husband was on the mountain, pregnant with a child, and she didn't want to spend too much time with another man.
Zhou Yi was displeased with Gu Qiuyan's self-righteousness, which he thought was conceit. When Sun Yuejian asked about Gu Qiuyan's situation, Zhou Yi said: "She is very smart, but her abilities are exaggerated, and she actually has no experience. Sun Yuejian proudly proclaimed himself a master of reporting and claimed to have received professional training. However, Zhou Yi didn't recognize her identity very much, and felt that he couldn't see anything outstanding from her, but he also felt that she was a little stubborn in this regard. Zhou Yi's evaluation of Gu Qiuyan was relatively direct, mainly because Gu Qiuyan acted impulsively, which made him not like it very much.
When Sun Yuejian asked if Gu Qiuyan was beautiful, Zhou Yi responded indifferently: "It has nothing to do with me whether it is beautiful or not. He quickly asked, "You're not at ease?" "Can you rest assured that your husband is in the same room as the other women? Zhou Yi immediately corrected: "It should be said that survival, not life." At this time, Zhou Yi and Gu Qiuyan only had the goal of survival together, and they were indeed working hard for it. However, he failed to foresee that his casual words would eventually backfire.
Gu Qiuyan had true feelings for Zhou Yi. At first, Zhou Yi had a disgusting and patient attitude towards Gu Qiuyan, but later he gradually devoted himself to his true feelings. Because her husband was on the mountain, Gu Qiuyan was in a hurry to send the information up, so she secretly used the secret channel to communicate with the mountain. Even Lao Wei didn't know about this line. She asked her brother-in-law, Zhang Pingjun, to help deliver a letter with special handling. However, her overly impulsive behavior led to Zhang Pingjun and his girlfriend**.
Love is really easy to make people lose their minds. Since Gu Qiuyan's husband was in the mountains, she was in a hurry to pass on the information, but she ignored the experience of their own people who had gone through training and life and death tests. Zhang Pingjun was not enough with his blood, he knew nothing about the treachery and cruelty of the enemy.
After learning that Gu Qiuyan acted without authorization, Zhou Yi was very angry. However, Gu Qiuyan accused them of inaction, claiming that they could not sit idly by and ignore the dangers on the mountain. In fact, Zhou Yi is not cold-blooded and ruthless as she said. He had already delivered important information to the mountains through carrier pigeons.
Zhou Yi decided to transfer Gu Qiuyan away from his side, he found Lao Wei and asked to transfer him: "I can see that she is very reluctant to do this job, if she continues like this, there will definitely be chaos." It's horrible, we can't be at her all the time. Because of Gu Qiuyan's mistake, the organization decided to deal with her seriously. Under Zhou Yi's comfort, Gu Qiuyan's pressure was relieved. Zhou Yi was worried that she was pregnant and that the stress would have an impact on the health of the mother and baby, so she decided not to tell her about the brutal murder of Zhang Pingjun and his girlfriend, but instead made up a lie that they had been transferred to the district court.
He reassured her, "In our industry, being too emotional will only make you miserable. To be a qualified **, you must learn to forget. This sentence is not only comforting Gu Qiuyan, but also his own heart. In order to accomplish the task, they cannot afford to make mistakes due to emotional ties. This means that Gu Qiuyan must forget her husband, and Zhou Yi must also forget Sun Yuejian.
This blow made Gu Qiuyan re-examine Zhou Yi's decision, and she realized that she had misjudged him before. She began to identify with Zhou Yi's ability and character, and realized her previous vexatious and impulsive. This made her feel guilty about Zhou Yi. She noticed that the buttons on Zhou Yi's shirt were about to fall off, so she offered to sew them for him. Zhou Yi asked Mother Liu to deal with it, but Gu Qiuyan said firmly, "I'm your wife, what's wrong with helping you sew a button!" At this time, a kind of warmth began to sprout between the two. Gu Qiuyan began to accept Zhou Yi as her partner.
She did a lot of chores for Zhou Yi that Liu's mother was responsible for before, such as taking out the insoles in his boots and putting them on the radiator to burn his feet. These details brought her closer to Zhou Yi's life and further deepened their relationship. In the past, when Zhou Yi came home at eight o'clock in the evening, Gu Qiuyan would hesitate to open the door even if she was waiting bored at home and heard the car horn. But now, she would immediately pick up his coat and hang it on the hanger. This transformation is not only reflected in Gu Qiuyan, but also in Zhou Yi.
Once, the two went to take wedding photos together. They walked down the road arm in arm, looking like a pair of lovers who loved each other deeply. Zhou Yi also gave Gu Qiuyan a jade bracelet as a souvenir, which further symbolized the growing emotional bond between them. Gu Qiuyan also carefully prepared an excuse, saying that this was a token of love for Mrs. Gao Bin.
This bracelet was inherited by Zhou Yi from his grandmother in Russia, and after several generations, it was originally a pair, and the other Zhou Yi gave Sun Yuejian to him. Zhou Yi and his grandmother have a deep relationship, and this bracelet means a lot to him. And he gave it to Gu Qiuyan, which shows that he has put her in the same position as Sun Yuejian in his heart.
After the wedding photos were brought back, a pot of blooming red moon flowers was placed on the table, decorating the whole room with the wedding photos, and the expressions of the two became natural and husband and wife. Zhou Yi joked that Gu Qiuyan looked like a schoolgirl, and she looked like a bastard who took a concubine. When the environment cannot be changed, people slowly adapt and integrate into it. The two are like this, gradually accepting each other from daily bits and pieces, and becoming more and more accustomed to each other's company.
Gu Qiuyan successfully deciphered the code left behind by Jin Xiaoyu, and was praised by Zhou Yi and Lao Wei, who called her an idealist, smart enough, but inexperienced. At first, Lao Wei wanted to transfer Gu Qiuyan away, but Zhou Yi objected, he thought that such a person was needed around him. Lao Wei was puzzled by Zhou Yi's change of attitude, but Zhou Yi explained that they were all loyal to the family, and he was currently only thinking about how to live, and how could he have the heart to think about the relationship between his children and his children. However, this inadvertently reveals his true intentions.
After Gao Bin was attacked and injured by the Iron Blood Assassination Group, Zhou Yi and Gu Qiuyan went to visit. When parting, Gao Bin left Zhou Yi to talk and asked Driver Jin to send Gu Qiuyan back. Unexpectedly, it happened after the car started**. Zhou Yi was stunned when he saw this, he quickly jumped on the windowsill and shouted sadly, "Qiu Yan!" Then he jumped from the second floor. He stumbled to his feet and rushed madly towards the burning car. He was stunned by the sight in front of him, Gu Qiuyan's red leather bag had been blown out of the window and fell to the ground.
At this time, Gu Qiuyan suddenly appeared in the corridor, witnessed this terrifying scene, and screamed in fright. At that moment, Gu Qiuyan shouted at Zhou Yi: "I'm here!" ”。Zhou Yi turned his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw Gu Qiuyan sprinting from a distance, his emotions exploded instantly, and he hugged her tightly into his arms. At this moment, Zhou Yi's reaction was full of real and intense emotions. For him, Gu Qiuyan has already become an indispensable and important person in his life, and the deep affection that he is afraid of losing is as painful as a knife.
Sasha's birth filled Zhou Yi's heart with endless love. Every time she came home, Sasha would happily throw herself into his arms and play on his neck. Whenever this happens, Zhou Yi's heart is full of the sweetness of fatherly love.
Gu Qiuyan once mentioned to him that she met Sun Yuejian's mother and son in the air-raid shelter, and she always felt that some things seemed to be owed to the other party. However, Zhou Yi calmly told her that she was just on a mission and there was no need to think too much. When Gu Qiuyan asked him why he answered like this, Zhou Yi's mood suddenly became a little impatient, and he asked for a change of topic.
Six years is enough time to change a lot of things. Zhou Yi rarely saw Sun Yuejian and her children, and he had already regarded Gu Qiuyan and Sasha as family in his heart. And Gu Qiuyan's sudden mention of this question seemed to pull him back to reality all of a sudden. Deep down in his heart, he had a complex emotion for Sun Yuejian and the child, and he tried not to touch it, because it would make him feel painful.
For Zhou Yi, Gu Qiuyan and Sasha have become indispensable in his life. Their relationship has long gone beyond physical intimacy and has formed a deep bond spiritually. He even began to love Sasha as if she were his own daughter.
Zhou Yi confided his feelings to Lao Wei: "I feel very strange when I look at my son now, like a child who has nothing to do with me. He is still the little kid in my memory; What's even more terrifying is that I now treat Sasha as my own daughter. ”
When Zhou Yi and Gu Qiuyan went to Sun Yuejian to pick up the transmitter, their relationship seemed to be one step closer. But Zhou Yi's mind was always on Gu Qiuyan, and he eagerly urged Sun Yuejian to hand over the transmitter, not even noticing Sun Yuejian's intention to dress up. For Sun Yuejian, because of the needs of work, he can't wear good-looking clothes, so he can only do some tricks in his hair to greet his beloved. However, Zhou Yi's perfunctory attitude obviously made her feel cold, because he only had Gu Qiuyan waiting for him in his heart, eager to complete the task and meet her.
In Sun Yuejian's repeated inquiries, Zhou Yi was in a heavy mood in the face of the lack of a transmitter. "You're closer to a dog than to me. Sun Yuejian's complaint deeply pierced his heart. When Sun Yuejian**, Zhou Yi deeply felt the pressure of survival and the sinister environment for the first time. His primary concern was the safety of Gu Qiuyan and her children.
In order to avoid possible involvement, he asked Lao Wei to transfer Gu Qiuyan away. Lao Wei once wanted to transfer Gu Qiuyan away, but was vetoed by Zhou Yi, and now he is in danger, but he is eager to transfer her away, this kind of mentality is out of control and his usual calm style is in stark contrast.
Living with Gu Qiuyan and her children for six years made Zhou Yi think about the delicate relationship between blood and parenting. He was always at a loss on this issue. When he learned that he could end the mission and reunite with his family because he was in danger, Sun Yuejian cried with joy, while Zhou Yi fell silent. Especially when he knew that Gu Qiuyan couldn't leave because of the mission, he felt an inexplicable loss in his heart.
Although he was reunited with Sun Yuejian and Xiao Jiaqiao, his heart was always worried about Gu Qiuyan and Sasha. He went to see Gu Qiuyan and tried to convince her to let him take Sasha, but was firmly refused. After Sasha**, Political Commissar Zhou warned that this might be a trap, and the fate of Gu Qiuyan and Sasha hung by a thread, but they could not control the situation and could only resign themselves to fate.
Zhou Yi, who was restless, made a decision alone. He didn't tell Sun Yuejian and the child that he planned to go back to save Sasha, but just asked them to cross the river first on the grounds that they needed to play signal flares in the back. He asked Xiao Jiaqiao to cross the river before taking out the letter to his mother. In the letter, he wrote: "I am already sorry for you and Jia Qiao, and I can't be sorry for Qiu Yan and Sasha ...... anymoreHe acknowledged his love for Sun Yuejian, but also expressed his responsibility to Gu Qiuyan and Sasha. In this complex emotional entanglement, Zhou Yi's heart is full of struggle and helplessness.
In Zhou Yi's life, Gu Qiuyan and Sasha occupy an extremely important position. For him, these two relatives are more precious than his own lives. As long as they are alive, he is willing to give up everything, even his own life. Old Wei was surprised by Zhou Yi's return, and he asked Zhou Yi if he had considered Sun Yuejian and his son. Zhou Yi replied firmly, as long as they were safe, they would understand his choice.
Are you crazy? Lao Wei said loudly, "You are an experienced veteran, don't you know what the priorities are?" However, Zhou Yi's decision in his heart has long been firm, and he even feels that his feelings for Sasha have surpassed his love for Xiao Jiaqiao, as if Sasha is his biological flesh and blood. At the critical moment, he abandoned the uncertainty of the future and chose to protect Gu Qiuyan and Sasha in front of him.
The days when Zhou Yi lived with Gu Qiuyan and Sasha made him truly experience the warmth of his family. His deep affection for the three of them made him willing to protect them with his life. For Zhou Yi, the sacrifice made for love was worth it, because he was willing to give everything for the family.
In love, we are often faced with choices. Some people believe that there is no such thing as sacrifice and worthiness in love, only willingness or unwillingness. When we make a choice, we are responsible for our own decisions. Zhou Yi's persistence and sacrifice to Gu Qiuyan and Sasha is his persistence and responsibility for love. However, his choice also means that he is disappointed by Sun Yuejian and Xiao Jiaqiao. The entanglement between love and responsibility makes Zhou Yi's choice full of helplessness and sadness.
