recently watched Noon Sunshine's new period drama " Alley People " on Mango TV. I finished all the updated episodes in one go. It is an evocative alley story with warmth and human touch in the ordinary. The story takes place in an inconspicuous alley in Suzhou, where life is trivial but full of fireworks.

It's like traveling through time, returning to my childhood. Every morning, the caring and delicate emotion of my mother gently wiping her face with a warm towel is as if it happened yesterday.

Pictures of the Times: Families and Years in Alleys

"Alley People" sets the story in the ancient streets of Suzhou. The three families, the Zhuang family, the Lin family, and the Wu family, are like friendly neighbors. It exudes a unique smell of fireworks.

The certificates on the wall, the scale recording growth, and the calendars that are constantly torn off the mottled walls, every time the eyes touch it, the memories of the past and the life of my parents can echo in my ears. The patched trousers, furniture with peeling paint but wiped out of the mirror, and homework books filled with text under the dim light all tell the story of people in the past who had never weakened their desire for life even if they were poor in material resources. The filming of this drama is so delicate that every object, sentence, and action can take you back to the past story.

A Colorful Chapter of Parental Love

Although the Zhuang family, the Lin family, and the Wu family have their own strengths and weaknesses, they all worry about their children without exception.

Let’s talk about the banker first.

As a teacher, Zhuang Chaoying is devoted to her students, and she cares even more about her own children. He and his wife Huang Ling are working hard for the future of their son Zhuang Tunan.

Zhuang Chaoying attaches great importance to children's education. As a high school teacher at the high school attached to the Cotton Mill, Zhuang Chaoying knows the importance of education.

Since the resumption of the college entrance examination, he began to participate in the college entrance examination marking work, and personally realized the great significance of the college entrance examination to the future of students.

He regards his children's college entrance examination as the top priority of the family. He has a profound vision for the college entrance examination to change his destiny. He believes that children should get ahead through learning and should not work hard in factories or villages all their lives. Instead, they should go further and have their own career.

For her son Zhuang Tunan, Zhuang Chaoying has always encouraged him to study hard. Zhuang Tunan entered the graduating class and was about to face the college entrance examination. Although Zhuang Chaoying faced many conflicts in the family, she never relaxed her focus on her son's study. He tutored his son in his homework and worked hard for his son's college entrance examination.

Speaking of this, I want to talk about the name Zhuang Tunan. It cleverly uses the passage in "Zhuangzi·Xiaoyaoyou": (Peng) carries the blue sky on his back... Then he is going to Tunan, and Tunan is to the south. Flying, later generations used "Tunan" as a metaphor for people's lofty ambitions, which actually reflected Zhuang Chaoying's high expectations for his son. Under the influence of his father, Zhuang Tunan also had very high requirements for himself.

Tunan actually means the same thing as "Pengfei", but Zhuang Chaoying is a cultural person after all, and he pays attention to subtlety and is not so straightforward.

Zhuang Chaoying also has strict requirements for her daughter Zhuang Xiaoting.

Zhuang Chaoying has always adhered to the concept of education first. In his mind, children can only have a better future through study and college entrance examination. Even though his family is not financially well-off, he is still willing to invest in his children's education.

Moreover, Zhuang Chaoying not only attached great importance to the college entrance examination, but also actively influenced the people around him. His enthusiasm for knowledge to change destiny radiated to his neighbor Lin Wufeng's family. They originally cared for their children, but under Zhuang Chaoying's influence, they also began to pay attention to their son's studies.

Let’s talk about the Lin family.

The scheming husband and brave wife were laughed at by the neighbors in the alley as the "thorn-headed family".

Let’s talk about housing allocation first. Under the background at that time, housing resources were scarce, and many families had several people crowded into a small space.

When Song Ying and her husband Lin Wufeng went to work, they could only leave their son in the staff dormitory and had to endure the gossip behind their colleagues' backs.

Finally, after her son Lin Dongzhe wet the bed in the dormitory, Song Ying couldn't bear it. In order to get a house, she sent her son to the factory leader's house, and argued with the head of the housing management department in the workshop. Song Ying's behavior was forced out of life. of.

Let’s talk about buying a TV set. My neighbor Grandpa Zhang’s house bought a TV. Lin Dongzhe went to Grandpa Zhang’s house to watch TV every day after dinner.

The Zhang family said, "People are small but have big butts."

After Lin Dongzhe understood this, he ran home angrily and complained to his mother Song Ying, saying that Uncle Zhang thought his big butt was taking up a bench in his house. Song Ying then said fiercely that he was not allowed to watch TV at other people's houses in the future and that he had to save money to buy it at home. .

In order to achieve their goal as soon as possible, the family even started a "hard" struggle to eat snake melon in fancy ways. Although they felt like vomiting after eating, they persisted.

Song Ying originally had the opportunity to get a TV ticket through being rated as the best, but she was disqualified from being rated as the best because she caused trouble during the room assignment. , husband Lin Wufeng exchanged fifty pounds of food stamps for a TV ticket, just to make his wife happy. He believes that money is a trivial matter and that his wife's happiness is the most important thing in the family.

’s son Lin Dongzhe is also very heartwarming. When he saw that his mother was sad because she was not rated as advanced, he silently wrote a certificate of merit for Song Ying. This also reflected the teachings that Lin Wufeng and his wife taught their children. After all, love is mutual - it was his parents who gave him Only with love did Lin Dongzhe know how to care for and comfort his family.

In fact, every time I see Lin Dongzhe's plot, I feel that it is very life-like and makes people smile. After the water pipe was connected to the yard, Huang Ling asked for some snake melon seeds from elsewhere. Huang Ling wanted her son to eat well, and Song Ying wanted to buy a TV for her son. So the two families hit it off and planted snake melons in the yard. , I didn’t expect that the output of snake melon was too high. From fried snake melon, snake melon soup, and snake melon steamed buns, the two families changed their minds when they heard "snake melon".

This plot is full of comedy, and also reflects from the side the living conditions of the time when supplies were relatively scarce but people enjoyed themselves despite hardship.

There are many more "happy" emotions like this in the drama.

Zhuang Xiaoting was celebrating her birthday, and Song Ying took Huang Ling and Xiaoting to a restaurant alone to celebrate. When the three of them were happily preparing to eat noodles in the restaurant, Song Ying suddenly turned around and found an angry and deformed picture of her son on the window glass. Face.

"Song Ying, you abandoned your husband and your son" once again made people in the alley watch the excitement. Faced with Dongzhe's naughty behavior, the two always unite and work together to deal with it. Lin Dongzhe's beating became a "fixed program" for alley residents.

Song Ying has a straightforward and aggressive personality, she says whatever she wants and dares to fight for her own rights, while Lin Wufeng is responsible and sensible, able to stand alone outside and loving his wife and children at home. The

family environment gives Lin Dongzhe sufficient freedom and space to grow up. He can be naughty and release his nature without worrying about being subject to too many restrictions and criticisms. Therefore, Lin Dongzhe, who grew up in such a family, is a natural person with high emotional intelligence and good communication skills.

In contrast, the family atmosphere of the banker is more complicated. Zhuang Chaoying is a teacher. As the eldest son in the family, he has always wanted to support his parents and take care of his siblings' children, which has caused some hidden conflicts.

For example, her parents-in-law wanted Pengfei to live in the banker's house, but Zhuang Chaoying did not dare to refuse.

But on the other hand, it is precisely because Zhuang Chaoying and Huang Ling also attach great importance to their children's education and regard their children's college entrance examination as the top priority of the family that they make Zhuang Tunan study hard and study hard. Zhuang Xiaoting is well-behaved and sensible, with her own persistence and Pursue.

These two family atmospheres have their own characteristics and have different impacts on the growth of children, but the only thing they have in common is the true love that parents have for their children.

The Wu family, which is not written much in the play but often appears in the stories of Zhuang and Lin, is a special reorganized family with complex and subtle family relationships.When Lao Wu remarried, the children brought by his new wife and the children left by his ex-wife used the family as the battlefield to compete for "family resources". One was love preference, and the other was material preference.

On Lao Wu’s wedding day, no one cared about Shanshan, and the scene was very embarrassing and lonely. After Song Ying saw it, she took the initiative to help Shanshan comb her hair and dress up. Shanshan reached puberty, but her stepmother Zhang Amei ignored her. Huang Ling and Song Ying made bras for Shanshan together. In an era when supplies were relatively scarce and people were still relatively conservative in their thinking, this was very considerate and rare help. They used their actions to give the younger generation the most practical care and love.

These neighbors’ help naturally shows the natural and simple emotional blending in alley life, as if it brings people back to the past memories: Ordinary alleys, crowded courtyards with several families, neighbors gathering together Sharing life and food together, there are smoke curling from the kitchen, and there are trees full of flowers. People live in this world, and the people in the play also live their small lives seriously, weaving a warm bond to connect each other, allowing people to have more in their lives. A safe reliance.

And the love of parents in the alleys not only extends to their own children, but also benefits the children next door. This love is like trickling through the streets and alleys. It seems ordinary, but it is a good time that cannot be returned. Presented It represents the kindness and warmth in the hearts of Chinese people.

"People in the Alley" does not have strong sensationalism, but through ordinary little things, it awakens the warm memories of home in our hearts little by little. Those moments that seemed ordinary when we were children have become the most precious memories as time goes by. Those days when we walked through the alleys over and over again were extra warm and heavy because of love.
