Recently, " Cheng Huan Ji " starring Yang Zi and Xu Kai has become a hit on the screen. It has already topped the hot search list after just a few episodes, which shows its popularity.
This drama is not only popular on the Internet, but also successfully landed on eight CCTV channels, attracting the attention of countless viewers. The most praised thing in the play is the affectionate interaction between Yang Zi and the mother and daughter played by He Saifei teacher.
"Cheng Huan Ji" tells the story of the growth of an urban woman. On the third anniversary of their relationship, the heroine Mai Chenghuan accidentally discovers her boyfriend's rich second-generation identity that she has been hiding. This causes cracks in the originally equal love relationship.
The bigger challenge comes from the family, especially the complicated relationship with the mother. Mai's mother interfered too much in her daughter's marriage, leaving Mai Chenghuan torn between filial piety and self-pursuit.
In this drama, the role of Mama Mai is played by veteran actor He Saifei. Teacher He Saifei performed this role vividly, making the audience feel the greatness and weight of maternal love in laughter and tears.
Mama Mai’s excessive concern for her daughter not only makes people feel the depth of maternal love, but also makes people see the common problems in the Chinese parent-child relationship.
In the play, Mama Mai shows meticulous "care" for her daughter's love life. At the beginning of the first episode, we saw Mama Mai waiting downstairs for her daughter who came home late, even though the company was only a road away from home.
When she saw her daughter and her boyfriend preparing to say goodbye on the roadside, she couldn't help shouting loudly and rushed between them, embarrassing her future son-in-law. This scene made the audience laugh and at the same time feel the tension and concern of Mai's mother for her daughter.
Mai’s mother also showed extreme disrespect for her daughter’s privacy. She would directly ask her daughter how close she was to her boyfriend, and would even enter her daughter's room without knocking and look through her daughter's work.
Although these behaviors are laughable, they also reflect common problems in some families: parents’ excessive attention to their children and lack of boundaries.
Behind these seemingly absurd behaviors, Mai’s mother’s deep love for her daughter is hidden. She will always pay attention to whether her daughter is dressed warmly, prepare her favorite dishes, and worry that her daughter will forget to eat because she is busy with work. These ordinary details make the audience feel the greatness and selflessness of maternal love.
Teacher He Saifei’s superb acting skills make the character of Mama Mai come alive. Not only did she successfully create a three-dimensional and vivid mother image, she also allowed the audience to see the common parent-child relationship problems in Chinese families.
In real life, many parents, like Mama Mai, over-intervene in their children's lives and lack a sense of boundaries. This drama triggered the audience's deep reflection on the parent-child relationship through the interaction between Mai's mother and Mai Chenghuan.
It is worth mentioning that "Cheng Huan Ji" is not only a drama about the relationship between mother and daughter, it also explores how modern urban women find a balance between career, love and family.
Mai Chenghuan's growth process is also a microcosm of the challenges and dilemmas faced by many modern women.
This drama shows the living conditions and psychological changes of modern urban women in a real and delicate way, which arouses strong resonance among the audience.
