Anyone who has watched " The Story of Rose " must have been so angry at all the evil deeds and ugly behavior of her ex-husband Brother Fang Xiewen ( Lin Gengxin) that she wanted to rush into the screen and slap him to death.
can be described as: the evil mother-in-law favors sons over daughters, and the phoenix male mother gives birth to a giant baby.
Not only that, "The son is a wolf in Zhongshan, and he will run rampant when he succeeds" , and even more ugly after getting married.
After having a daughter, forcefully asked Huang Yimei ( Liu Yifei ) to give him a second child, striving to have a son. This obviously comes from Mother Fang’s request. While taking care of the confinement, Fang's mother had expressed her contempt for girls countless times and her longing to continue the family line and continue the family tradition.
In addition to sabotaging work, interfering with dress, cold violence and other evil deeds, Fang Xiewen has become the "public enemy" after Grandma Rong in "Huan Zhuge Ge".
Fang Xiewen caused public outrage. The audience was so angry that they all rushed to leave messages on actor Lin Gengxin's account.
Lin Gengxin was not annoyed at all. He argued with the angry viewers and even posted about his exchanges with relatives and friends in private messages. I have to say that Lin Gengxin performed this role quite successfully, and the off-screen interactions were also interesting and relieving.
1. Fang Xiewen: The Phoenix Man Bearing Original Sin
Fang Xiewen and his mother in the "The Story of Rose" series can be said to be the masters of the Phoenix Man disputes in recent years.
was born in a small remote town. He set his ambitions since childhood and devoted himself to studying for exams, just to achieve excellent results and be admitted to a prestigious school in the country.
The real desire behind such good grades and top-notch schools is to enter the rich industry, receive a high annual salary, marry a rich and beautiful woman, and reach the pinnacle of life.
Wang Dachui’s classic line from back then was precisely because it expressed the ultimate goal of most small-town question writers.
Fang Xiewen was no exception. He successfully passed the examination and entered higher education, stayed in the city, and got the opportunity to get close to urban girls such as Huang Yimei.
However, deep down in my heart, I have low self-esteem and conceit (inferiority comes from material conditions, conceit comes from excellent results), the material demands and emotional ties of traditional families, the discomfort of integrating into the city, and the tension full of purpose. The sense of tension has become an inner lack that "Phoenix Man" must face head-on.
Obviously, Fang Xiewen was not aware of all this. He allowed the shadow in his heart to spread more and more, and his desire and strength expanded until it affected every aspect of his life.
Fang’s mother came to the rental house to take care of Huang Yimei, and conflicts emerged in the small family. Fang's mother was nagging and disliked her daughter-in-law. She often communicated in dialect and rejected her daughter-in-law. She also monitored and suspected her at every turn, which made Huang Yimei unbearable.
had a big quarrel with his brother Huang Zhenhua outside the delivery room because he was saving money and skipped painkilling injections.
Fang Xiewen was unable to ease the tension between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. He unconditionally indulged his mother and poured all his stress and emotions onto his wife.
He strongly interfered with his wife's work, went directly to the company to resign for her, and called to reject her interview. He simplified Huang Yimei's work demands to "making money" and made it clear that he did not want her to have an independent income.
Then, he always thought that the Rose family looked down upon him, looked down upon his income and family background. This inferiority was almost rooted in his heart, and no matter how close the Rose family was, it would not help. While he was grieving Rose, he was also working hard to start a business, completely losing the calmness and calmness of long-term planning.
was too inferior and conceited, which made him forget the original intention of falling in love, and also lost the meticulousness of understanding Rose's inner emotions. As a result, there was a rift between the two. Rose felt deeply depressed and painful in this marriage, which made the audience feel heartbroken.
2. Huang Yimei: Enduring the hardships and persuading her to finally escape
Fang Xiewen in Yi Shu’s original work is just an ordinary and boring bank employee, and has no moral original sin or strong evil deeds.
The book describes Fang Xiewen:
He is fat, unkempt, stupid, and slow. He can't even make sense in ordinary social dialogues. Among the exquisite and clear people in the Huang family, there is no place for him.
The collar of the suit is still very wide, and the tie is tied randomly, which is four inches wide. The tops of the leather shoes are worn out, and the elastic bands of the socks are loosened.
In the book, Rose insisted on divorce only because she was too ordinary and found it boring. As Yishu wrote:
After sitting on the beach for a long time, she raised her head and said in an extremely confused voice: "Why? Will you marry this person? How come you spend so many days with him?"
In comparison, Huang Yimei in the drama devoted more fireworks and real life to save this relationship and accommodate the two of them. She made a lot of efforts on the differences.
For example, I try my best to keep my home in order, and keep my daughter well-behaved and sensible; I try not to show anxiety in front of my daughter, and I always communicate with my husband in a consultative tone.
Faced with Fang Xiewen's inferiority complex, she mostly tried to persuade him with gentle words and try her best to take care of his fragile heart.
However, Huang Yimei also longs for a wonderful and passionate life, and hopes to show her personal value in work and career. However, Fang Xiewen, with the brutality and tyranny of traditional male dominance, obstructed and interfered in various ways until Huang Yimei was completely angered.
Even when she was the most angry, Rose maintained her dignity.
She first took her daughter back to her hometown to see her parents and repair the relationship between her brother and sister-in-law; then she made up her mind to divorce Tong Fang Xiewen.
Fang Xiewen always felt that money could solve everything. He sold the company, bought a villa and a luxury car with a large sum of cash to save Rose. But how did he know Rose's true appeal? His wishful thinking can only continue to prove the mistakes of this marriage.
filed for divorce, and the court mediated. Fang Xiewen was satisfied with his exaggeration at the wine party, and when he returned home, he showed his ugly face and spoke harshly.
Even so, Huang Yimei still took into account the couple's feelings and accompanied him to the hospital for infusion to sober up. Fang Xiewen, who had just woken up from drunkenness, saw his wife and daughter beside him, thought of all his evil deeds, saw his daughter's well-behaved and his wife's rationality, and finally felt guilty.
The two signed a divorce agreement, and Rose returned to Beijing alone with her daughter. Zhuang Guodong, Zhou Shihui, Fu Jiamin, and Fu Jiaming were surrounded by wolves, and there were many old loves and new loves. The ex-husband left the scene sadly, finally letting the audience feel relieved.
3. God assists: tender love awakens the confused
Looking at the marriage of Huang Yimei and Fang Xiewen, it can be said to be "a licking dog turns around and becomes a tyrannical man in seconds".
was so diligent and humble in the beginning, but he became so violent and tyrannical after getting married. Everything has two sides to the same coin. Lin Gengxin's "typical interpretation" in the play is enough to alert all girls who are confused by dog licking and take a warning.
The final awakening of Rose benefited from the emotional twists and turns of Huang Zhenhua and Su Gengsheng.
Because Su Gengsheng was sexually abused by his stepfather when he was a child, he has always been wary and blocked his emotions. Later, Huang Zhenhua's careful protection finally warmed the ice in her heart and accepted Huang Zhenhua's love.
But she also hides another secret, which is the fact that she was once married and divorced.
In the original work, this plot was "blown up" by Fang Xiewen and exposed directly to his face, because Su Gengsheng was once his cousin aunt.
Fang Xiewen arrived in a naive manner, sat down, and before I had time to introduce him, he suddenly shouted to Gengsheng: "Cousin, have you forgotten me? I am Xiewen——"
Me (Huang Zhenhua ) yelled loudly, "Shut up, shut your stinky mouth! Get out of here, I won't ever look at your face again!" I rushed up and grabbed his shirt collar, "You idiot!" I said harshly Give him two hard slaps. In the episode
, Su Gengsheng directly confessed to Huang Zhenhua.
The two experienced their own inner suffering. In the end, Huang Zhenhua forgave Su Gengsheng's concealment with an exhausting marathon.
Also in order to mediate the relationship between the two, Huang Yimei took her daughter home to meet her parents, brother and sister-in-law.
This trip made her feel the warmth of a normal family, the tacit understanding of love, and a clearer understanding of Fang Xiewen and her own marriage. Rose has made up her mind on how to end her marriage and how to move to a new stage.
The first paragraph of the original work ends with divorce, and then we watch another love story of Rose from Fu Jiamin's perspective.
In the series, Rose's emotional journey is almost seamless. When I brought my daughter back home, in addition to the constant love and care from my parents and brother-in-law, the infatuated Zhou Shihui, the arrogant Zhuang Guodong, the silly Fu Jiamin, and the weak Fu Jiaming all came to me.
Next, what kind of love and hatred will Rose experience? Let's wait and see what happens~
