In this article, we take a look at Lin Youyou, the controversial character who is both loved and hated in "Thirty Only".
Lin Youyou lives in a house worth 20 million yuan in Beijing, with earrings worth 40,000 yuan hanging on his ears. She is a well-off little rich woman, but why is she willing to go to Shanghai and rush to "become a pawn"? "Mistress", why did he make such a big fuss with Xu Huanshan?
Even Xu Huanshan himself is probably confused about the motivation behind this.
Let’s talk about Lin Youyou first. He is not an ordinary Beijing native. He lives in a mansion with a price comparable to that of a gold brick, and wears earrings that are rounded up to the size of a car.
It stands to reason that women under such conditions should live a carefree life and enjoy life! But she chose a difficult and tortuous emotional road, leaving her hometown and running to the magical city of Shanghai, and fell into the arms of a married man, Xu Huanshan.
So the question is, what is the force that drives this urban beauty with a good life to resolutely abandon her stable life and plunge into an emotional whirlpool that is destined to be condemned by public opinion?
The first level of interpretation, we may be able to analyze it from the perspective of human nature.
Lin may be eager to seek spiritual satisfaction and emotional stimulation in addition to material wealth. In her world, perhaps money cannot fill the emptiness in her heart, and Xu Huanshan, a talented and charming man, has become the person she seeks spiritual sustenance for. The second level of interpretation of
is about the issue of power and desire for control.
Although Lin Youyou is financially independent, he may not feel enough presence and influence in Beijing. In her relationship with Xu Huanshan, she was able to experience the pleasure of controlling other people's emotions, and by influencing a mature and steady man, she achieved recognition of her self-worth and a sense of accomplishment.
The third level of interpretation returns to the level of role creation and social phenomena.
Lin Youyou's behavior in the play reflects to some extent that some people in contemporary society often ignore the moral bottom line and social responsibility when pursuing emotional freedom, and even challenge the traditional concept of marriage.
From a psychological perspective.
Behind the hustle and bustle of the bustling city, Lin Youyou may have an unspeakable loneliness and emptiness deep in her heart. Those cold bricks and shining jewelry cannot fill her spiritual world.
At this time, Xu Huanshan, a talented and charming man, broke into her sight. His maturity, stability, and romantic feelings are like a unique light for Lin Youyou, illuminating the depths of her soul that longs to be understood and noticed.
Psychologists often say that the desire for power and control is an instinctive pursuit in human nature. Although Lin Youyou is materially independent, she does not seek success in the emotional realm. Xu Huanshan found a way to realize her self-worth subconsciously, so it is not difficult to understand why she acted like this.
I have to say that the motivation behind Lin Youyou's willingness to "be a mistress" probably confused Xu Huanshan himself. Of course, Lin Youyou himself may not be fully aware of it.
TV series "Only Thirty" is a work that deeply reflects the life of modern urban women. Lin Youyou's character creation also reveals a social phenomenon.
Lin Youyou's choice, although it is an example, also represents the choices made by some people when facing emotional temptation in real life.
From Xu Huanshan’s perspective, we don’t know whether he can truly understand and accept Lin Youyou’s inner demands and struggles.
And when each of us faces similar emotional tests, how should we stick to our moral bottom line while seeking a balance between emotional satisfaction and social responsibility? Everyone is welcome to speak freely.
