She's not in **, she's just finally having the freedom to be skinny.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa, a Japanese family, wrote an interesting short story called "The Nose". It is said that there is an old monk in the Ikeo region of Japan who has a long nose like a sausage that hangs from the upper lip to the lower jaw. The local people in Chiwei have a subtle attitude towards the strange nose of the old monk, who is deeply sympathetic to the old monk's misfortune and treats this matter as a strange story. The old monk himself was deeply distressed by this and wanted to get out of this dilemma.

Finally, one day, the old monk found a home remedy to restore his nose to normal. He thought that it would be good now, and from then on he would be able to be his normal-looking and respected monk. However, the development of events was unexpected by the old monk - the people around him showed an awkward and strange expression after seeing his nose return to normal, which later simply developed into explicit ridicule and even hostility. The old monk fell into a dilemma where he couldn't get along with everyone around him, and even regretted why he had to treat that strange nose in the first place. Then, suddenly, one day, the old monk's strange nose somehow suddenly grew back. "Great," he thought to himself, dangling his weird long nose in the cold wind, "so that no one will laugh at me anymore." "Akutagawa is very poisonous in writing, he likes to expose the dark side of human nature that most of us don't want to admit, such as "Nose", he talked about a very cruel thing:When we appreciate the ugliness and misfortune of others, we often try to appreciate their beauty and luck much harder. The old monk in Chiwei, he is respected as a high-ranking monk in the local area, and it is not necessarily because of how profound his Taoism is, a large part of the reason may be because of his strange nose, people subconsciously feel that this old gentleman can still devote himself to studying Buddhism with such a strange nose, sympathy and compassion can't help but give birth to a sense of superiority, feeling that after all, he is much stronger than him in the point of normal facial features, and at the same time, he can't help but be more likely to affirm his other advantages - such as his profound Buddhism. So from this point of view, the old monk cured the strange nose but was jealous and hostile from his fellow villagers, and to a certain extent, it can be regarded as "repaying debts", he just paid back the sympathy of his neighbors. Is this cruel? Cruel. But that's the reality. In the world described by Akutagawa, the old monk did not have the freedom to heal his nose because others did not allow it. So, do we have it?

In our real life, there are not many people who have that kind of strange nose, but it is undeniable that everyone will find superiority over their neighbors from other various "noses". And to grow some such "noses" to make others comfortable. For example, I remember when I was a child, many sketches ridiculed the disabled, selling abductions, cars, and the like. The reason why we are in this situation is actually due to Akutagawa's "nose" law - we can't change our lives, but we can get a sense of relief from seeing others fall into worse situations than we do. Therefore, most comedians often have shortcomings in their appearance, such as being ugly, short or fat. People will be very happy when they watch this kind of actor make fun of their weaknesses. This is our humanity, a more comical humanity than the old monk's. Of course, this sense of superiority can sometimes be released in other ways, for example, in the past, there was a saying that the last ten minutes of some news programs were always "life in a foreign country is miserable", and some people criticized this kind of reporting as bad, but they didn't know that such news was actually in line with the psychology of most audiences. Whether you describe the good mountains and rivers and good people in foreign countries, the audience may not be very happy after seeing the diorama. Because the excitement is people's, most people are powerless to change their real life, so seeing the dire situation abroad is actually a potential demand of most audiences, which is actually a "nose". In contrast, the regular ** report is better than those marketing accounts that falsely say that "Japan is in danger" and "the demise of the United States is imminent", because they report the real ......Even if it's only partially true. But I think that this kind of life of relying on other people's strange "noses" to obtain happiness is always harmful. For example, Jia Ling's fatness, I used to watch her act in sketches and movies, and while appreciating this person's comedy talent, I always felt that she was really too fat. Although being fat and thin is the freedom of others, a person who is too fat is always unhealthy.

But I also know that the label fat is very important to Jia Ling, because fat is her "nose", and she needs to use this label to attract the attention of others. And attention, if not the reason for her success, is at least the first step to her success. Jia Ling's life is actually a comedy with tears in laughter. Jia Ling is an authentic rural girl, relying on her own efforts, taking exams while working, and taking several exams before she was admitted to the ** Drama Academy, but on the day she applied for the major, when the school admissions office called ** to her hometown, she asked her parents, whether the child chose a drama class or a cross talk class? Jia Ling's mother, Li Huanying, said: "Drama class", because the accent is too strong, is heard by the school as a "comedy class". The difference of one word made Jia Ling's life completely change. Have you noticed that there are very few actresses in the cross talk industry, and the reason for this I think is that Akutagawa's "nose" law is due, because cross talk needs to be ridiculed, and the general public can't listen to too high-end ridicule, traditional cross talk is just some ethics, pornographic jokes,, pee and fart and the like, but in our deep-rooted concept, men say that no one will care about these stalks, and if women shake their burdens like this, some people will think that it is immoral. Therefore, cross talk is inherently unfriendly to women, and it doesn't even give a way to live. Jia Ling, who is not a rich second generation and has no way out, read this major hard, but she can't even support herself, and she has been gnawing pickles and nests in the basement of more than ten square meters for many years, and she has endured cold eyes. But in this process, Jia Ling slowly grew a "nose" of her ownShe got fat. Yes, if you go to see the images of Jia Ling in her early years, you will find that she was not fat, although her appearance is not amazing, but she is also middle-class.

But it is this middle-class appearance that makes her uncharacteristic among the actors. So she became fat, and with this fatness, the audience accepted her and remembered her.

Shen Teng had an evaluation when talking about Jia Ling, saying that her success was because: ".Men don't hate her, women don't envy her. "Shen Teng is really accurate in looking at people. Jia Ling is indeed quite fat after becoming famous, but if you observe carefully, her fat has never reached the level that is completely unacceptable to male aesthetics. Jia Ling made her fat accurately controlled to the extent that she could be used for self-ridicule, shielding female audiences from jealousy, and not causing male audiences to hate her. So unlike many people who are fat because they just can't control their mouths and legs,Jia Ling, who seems to be very fat, has actually been a "master of body management".- It's not that she can't control herself and can't lose weight, she just regards this fat as her "Akutagawa nose". Just like the old monk in Akutagawa's pen couldn't cure his nose, Jia Ling in the past didn't lose weight freely.

This is the cruelty of this world, born free, but always in chains. Sometimes we have to put shackles on ourselves and live as we don't want to, just to one day, to achieve a bigger goal.

Therefore, when I heard that Jia Ling lost 100 pounds and became a thin person for her new film "Hot and Hot", I really felt that there was nothing surprising to me. In terms of body management, Jia Ling has never been a loser, wasn't she fat because she really loves to eat, but now she can lose weight, is it any wonder? What's really strange is actually our audience. I think that at the beginning, it was the expectation of "looking at people to be fat" in our hearts, intentionally or unintentionally, that shaped that fat Jia Ling. Now, it is the same us who are surprised that she can lose a hundred pounds at once - I believe that she has always had this ability, but before that, she did not have this freedom. By extension, why don't we do this from time to time? In life, by parents, teachers, by the unit, by the society, we have been told what we should live, or "you can't have a certain ability, you don't have it", we are like the old monk in Akutagawa's pen, dragging that long nose, just like Jia Ling, we have to maintain our image of a fat man, just because others are accustomed to that nose and obesity. But we are not the person we present to the world, we are just afraid of the cost, forced to play the role of what others know us to be. But once we have that freedom, once we have enough capital and courage to fight and win once, maybe change will follow. You will find that the feeling of enjoying freedom is really burning and beautiful, which is the real "hot and hot". I haven't seen the new film "Hot and Hot" yet, but I have seen its original Japanese movie "100 Yuan Love", in fact, the movie throws away some dregs from the male perspective, and tells such a story - a person who musters up courage, breaks free from shackles, and changes his appearance, the most burning and beautiful.

So when Jia Ling said in an interview: "In the days to come, I want to love myself", I think I can understand what she means. Freedom is the greatest love a person has for himself, even though it is never cheap. So we should congratulate Jia Ling, in this movie, what she did was not **, but what she achieved was body freedom, after so many years of forbearance and struggle, she finally did it.

In the new year, I hope that all of us can shake off a little bit of the "Akutagawa nose" that others have given us, and swing the first blow to the self you dream of becoming. "I want to win, even if it's just once! —100 Dollar Love
