daughters-in-law often play an indispensable role in a family, and stories about them are an inexhaustible wealth for film and television creators. See you, there are all kinds of images of daughters-in-law on the screen: whether it is Edamame Doudou in "Beautiful Era of Daughter-in-law", Li Juan in "Double-sided Adhesive", or Bi Shengnan in "Tiger Mom and Cat Dad", etc. , the vivid image presents the audience with the unique spiritual outlook and survival/life status of various daughters-in-law in the current society. However, Ye Qiao, the heroine played by young actor Huang Man in "Second Aunt" currently being broadcast on Shandong and Liaoning Satellite TV, is an "atypical" daughter-in-law. The reason why
says Ye Qiao is "atypical" is because her daughter-in-law status is very special: on the one hand, she was adopted by Grandma Xiong played by Siqin Gaowa when she was young, and she is the adopted daughter of the Xiong family; Zhien Tubao married Xiong Younian, the second son of the Xiong family, and became the daughter-in-law of the Xiong family. This kind of identity is a bit like a child bride in the old society, but the background of the times is contemporary. The contrast and gap between the two elements make the corner of "Ye Qiao" more dramatic than the image of a daughter-in-law that we are familiar with. Jue has the dual characteristics of traditional Chinese women and women of the new era. First of all, she was deeply influenced by Grandma Xiong since she was a child. She has a very traditional family concept, has a sense of responsibility, is responsible, and is willing to give silently to the family, even sacrificing her own happiness; secondly, after all, she lives in the contemporary age, so she has She is independent and self-reliant, has the courage to try, and will continue to work hard towards her own goals. Therefore, just like her dual identity as both an adopted daughter and a daughter-in-law, this combination of traditional and modern character makes Ye Qiao unique. Uniquely charming, this is not only a challenge for the actor Huang Man in terms of acting skills: if he acts well, he may be able to achieve a new screen story, and even become a role model for the new generation of Chinese good daughter-in-law; just ruined.
Fortunately, Huang Man acted very well. When she first appeared in Ye Qiao, she gave people a good impression of being industrious, kind, gentle and pleasant. Later, when the family encountered major changes, she resolutely took on the role. The heavy responsibility of housekeeping, mother-in-law, husband, eldest brother, third brother, nephew and niece... Everyone is the object of her concern, and her tenacity, forbearance, optimism and upward spirit are particularly impressive, quite a bit of Siqin Gao Wa portrayed the character of the second grandmother in the classic role in "The Gate of the House", and I heard that the latter has repeatedly praised her performance and acting skills in "Second Aunt" this time. In addition, it happened that the latter also joined the play to play her mother-in-law, and in order to support Huang Man's housekeeping, she also taught the Xiong family the secret recipe for pickles that has been passed down for many years. The person finally got out of the predicament, so the two of them share the meaning of "second grandmother" spiritual inheritance.
It is reported that "Second Aunt" is the third collaboration between Siqin Gaowa and Huang Man. The two played the role of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the drama "Mother and Mother" of the era, and then formed a mother-daughter relationship in "Brothers and Brothers". Now they work together again to perform "Second Aunt". Really, really makes people cry.
In addition to the strong performances of the actors, "Second Aunt" also has a sense of washing away the prettiness and returning to the original in the plot. It is in the same vein as "Second Uncle", telling the story of how ordinary characters fight against fate through hard work, reflecting the common living state of the next generation in the background of the times. Because of its unique female perspective, "Second Aunt" has more gentle power than "Second Uncle". Compared with other family dramas, which often rely on the struggle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, extramarital affairs, and polyamorous love, this drama truly returns to the traditional sense of "family". "Family" is a unit of society, and it is the fundamental factor for the harmonious development of a society. The story of this drama always revolves around how Ye Qiao silently contributes to her family, and at the same time achieves success in her career through her diligence and kindness. The moral performance is vivid and vivid. Although this drama is inseparable from the category of family drama, we see more from this drama, how an ordinary woman in today's society still has an optimistic attitude towards life after experiencing the trials and tribulations of life An inspirational legend created, and it also brings a fresh wind of positive energy to the screen full of dramas and thunder dramas.
All in all, the popularity of "Second Aunt" fully shows that TV series with family as the background do not have to be bloody or provocative.It is worth seeing, simple stories and emotional interpretations are often more moving. And a "good Chinese daughter-in-law" like Ye Qiao, although not everyone can do it, is worthy of everyone's learning and respect.
