Preface.
An elderly couple in their eighties was forced to beg on the street because their children had usurped their property. The person next door actually said, "My son is right", what kind of value is this? Behind this ordinary family story, what kind of family conflict and social indifference? Let's take a look at what kind of family conflicts and human joys and sorrows are hidden behind this sad film.
A country woman marries a city girl.
Li Xiuliang was born in the countryside, and she had a child with the original, and she divorced not long after, and she raised the child alone. Cheng Shangyuan met her only after being introduced by a matchmaker in the township, Cheng Shangyuan was older and worked in a factory in the city.
Cheng Shangyuan is a cowardly person, and his ex-wife is also unbearable, so he divorced her. Cheng Shangyuan took the 7-year-old child Cheng Qing alone. Li Xiuliang and Cheng Shangyuan's relationship was quickly determined, and the two successfully completed their wedding.
Since then, Li Xiuliang has quickly adapted to life in the city, she has diligently learned various things, and actively assumed the responsibilities of the family. And Cheng Shangyuan is a cowardly person, he will do whatever his new daughter-in-law says. Li Xiuliang seems to have become the master of one party.
Li Xiuliang has always been frugal, and the money Cheng Shangyuan earns alone is enough to maintain the family's life. However, she still retains the rural lifestyle, often going out to pick up garbage, and selling the things she picks up to supplement her family. Cheng Shangyuan firmly disagrees on this point, because he thinks that his wife is losing her identity by doing this. But every time he had a dispute, he was forced by Li Xiuliang to make concessions.
Xiao Chengqing's life experience.
Cheng Qing, a stepchild, was not happy when he was a child. He found that Li Xiuliang had no good impression of him and always ignored his mood. Perhaps it was because of this that he stagnated in his studies and dropped out of school early.
Without studying, Cheng Qing would have become a completely troubled youth. He often went out to have fun, and developed a bad habit of smoking and drinking. The stepson is going to **, Li Xiuliang doesn't care, what he wants is not to make any trouble. She only thinks about her husband and her children.
Cheng Shangyuan always wants to be close to his children, but his cowardly personality makes it difficult for him to win the respect of his children. Although Cheng Qing sympathizes with his father, he can't fully trust his father. This family of three, although it looks harmonious, is still far from true family affection.
Her children are married, and her mom is ambitious.
Time flies, and Cheng Qing is no longer the rebellious youth he was back then. He has a family, a home of his own, and a regular job. Every year, he takes time out to visit his parents. Although the injuries he suffered when he was a child have not been completely let go, Li Xiuliang has also brought it up with him, so Cheng Qing has a special emotion for everything at home.
Li Xiuliang also got what she wanted and became the little princess of the family. Cheng Shangyuan has retired, and she, as a wife, has been fully free and respected.
Li Xiuliang is most interested in picking up garbage, and she and his wife spend their days searching for treasures around the city, sometimes picking up a broken piece of copper and iron. When the man saw this, he just smiled and said nothing. Li Xiuliang doesn't care about other people's opinions, and lives every day to the fullest.
An unexpected family change.
The turning point came on an ordinary weekend. Cheng Qing, as usual, returned home to visit his parents, but as soon as he arrived at home, he was blocked by a group of old neighbors. They couldn't wait to tell Cheng Qing what had happened recently, hoping that he could do something for Li Xiuliang.
Li Xiuliang's matter of picking up garbage is getting more and more serious with Cheng Shangyuan's retirement. They sent bags and bags of garbage to their homes, mixed with some rotten stuff and smelling terrible. This caused a lot of trouble for people in the neighborhood.
Many people came to negotiate before, but they were all rejected by Li Xiuliang. The programmer had no choice but to put all his expectations on Cheng Qing and asked him to persuade his mother. Cheng Qing originally didn't want to meddle in family affairs, but under everyone's pleas, she still had no way to refuse.
Therefore, Cheng Qing went home this time, and there was a small change. The first thing he found was his father Cheng Shangyuan, and he wanted to seek support from his father. But to his surprise, his father had long acquiesced in his decision and fully supported him. He said that Li Xiuliang's choice was not something he could control.
Cheng Shangyuan also said something that shocked him. In the past few years, Li Xiuliang has secretly transferred his pension to his son in the countryside. And his family can only barely support themselves by relying on their own waste picking. He was helpless, and he was used to it, so he had to let her do it.
This sentence made him wake up like a dream. It was only at this time that Cheng Qing discovered that the original home had become different. He couldn't tolerate his mother's actions and decided to dissociate himself from her. A family revolution began. Cheng Qing decisively drove his father and mother away from the house, and personally welded all the exits and exits of the house. For a while, both his father and mother became homeless.
In order to gain public sympathy, the mother and son attacked each other.
Cheng Shangyuan was evicted from his house and responded silently, while Li Xiuliang began to fight back. She publicized her son's unfilial piety everywhere in order to win the pity of passers-by. There are enthusiastic people who provide her with food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and have even notified the news to make this bad incident public.
Cheng Qing had no choice but to come forward in person and say it for his mother. He also brought his own children with him, just to make a good impression on the old couple. Unexpectedly, as soon as Cheng Shangyuan saw his grandson, he excitedly hugged him into his arms as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
Uehara had the courage to defend his son. He said that he and his son wanted Li Xiuliang to give up the bad habit of picking up garbage at all costs, and they also wanted her to give up the idea of picking up garbage.
More critically, Shangyuan discovered that Li Xiuliang was trying to transfer the house to his son in the countryside. All this is to protect Cheng Qing from losing his property. They are old and frail, and they are all dependent on their two children.
Cheng Qing also said that the reason why he did this was because there was no way. Neighbors expressed their opposition to Li Xiuliang's piling up of sundries without permission. If I take this old couple back again, I am afraid that it will cause public anger again.
In the face of countless facts, Li Xiuliang can only give in. In the end, she decided to stop being obsessed with garbage and moved out of the neighborhood. With this commitment, Cheng Qing also let out her words, no matter when, she will be happy to see her parents.
An unexpected family change is over. After so many things, everyone gave up their prejudices and understood the pain of this family. This is called a family relationship. But family affection, after all, conquered all feelings.
Conclusion. 
And his son drove his old mother away. This is not only the helplessness of being a son of man, but also the obsession of being a mother. This incident reflects a problem that many people are unwilling to face. Behind this seemingly intimate affection, there is often unspeakable pain. Therefore, when judging a person, we must be more understanding and tolerant. This may be the deepest moral meaning.
