The role of Li Li in the book "Flowers", I can give you some details. Li Li is an independent, strong female character who has a very painful past. She has only told this past to one person, and that is her lover Po.
Li Li had a younger brother who decided to become a monk, but his parents strongly opposed it. The younger brother committed suicide in despair after being opposed by his parents. Li Li was deeply shocked and left his parents to come to Guangdong alone.
In Guangdong, Li Li began to be a wild model and walked the catwalk. But she encountered a lot of unpleasant things, and the foreman of the company arranged for her to do some disguised performances, but Li Li was known for her resolute refusal. Her good friend Little Fleur suggested going to Macau for a break, so Li Li came to Macau with two other little sisters. However, they find out that little Fleur was just tricking them into coming here. In this place, they are forced to dance ** and pole dance.
The two little sisters struggled for two days and then succumbed, only Li Li persisted. One day, she was forced to receive injections and woke up to find an insulting word and a bright rose tattooed on her belly. From that day on, Li Li was emotional when she saw the rose, and she couldn't stand it.
But it didn't take long for her to meet Mr. Zhou, who apologized to her for her mistake and gave her a new choice, which was to go to work in his office building and stay away from that place. Li Li accepted Mr. Zhou's offer and eventually followed him.
Li Li can't forget the harm that little Fleur hurt her, so she finds someone to kill her and seal her under concrete. She has been doing this behind Mr. Zhou's back, and it has become a burden for her life.
When Mr. Chow decided to move abroad, he gave Li Li a sum of money and referred a doctor in Hong Kong to remove the tattoos on Li Li's body with a laser. He also told Li Li that Xiao Furong's affairs were handled very cleanly, which reassured her. Li Li finally understood that in fact, Mr. Zhou knew everything about her.
Li Li came to Shanghai and opened a restaurant to become the proprietress of the hotel. There, she met Po and had a lover relationship with him. Eventually, however, she decided to become a monk. This may be her fate, because her brother wanted to be a monk and committed suicide, and she once stepped into the muddy swamp of fate, resisted, committed sins, and finally chose to follow the same path as her brother.
Although Li Li's past experience is also very miserable, compared with the original book, the drama version has slightly adjusted her description. In the play, Lee Lee is a student and Mr. A's favorite woman. She witnessed the tragedy of the suicide of her beloved Mr. A, which made her miserable. In order to pay off Mr. A's debts, Li Li used the money given by Mr. A to open a business called Zhizhenyuan and worked hard to make money. However, this journey is not as dark as it was in the original book.
Li Li was eventually forced to serve a year in prison because of debts, and what awaited her was the choice after she was released from prison. She decided to become a monk, to get rid of the chaos of the world, and to seek inner peace and self-liberation. Perhaps this is her destined fate, affected by her brother's suicide because he wanted to do it and failed to do so, she experienced a muddy fate, resisted, committed sins, and finally chose the same path as her brother.
Whether it is the original book or the drama version, Li Li is a very complex character. She has endured endless pain and suffering, but has shown great strength and courage from it. She chose to become a monk, perhaps to escape the pain of the past, or to seek true inner freedom and liberation.
"Flowers" shows us a person's struggle and growth through the character of Li Li, and also reveals the dark side of society. Whether in the original book or in the drama version, Li Li is an unforgettable character. Her story teaches us that no matter what kind of adversity we encounter, we should be self-contained, brave and find our own way out.
