A glimpse of warmth in the Chinese family relationship
Presenting all kinds of urban life
The structure and relationship model of Chinese families are constantly changing with the deepening of the modernization process of Chinese society. As the smallest unit of society, family is intuitively characterized by the coexistence of intimacy and independence, and the coexistence of tradition and modernity. "The Time Is Right" captures this characteristic, and uses the dramatic narrative mode of "eliminating the plot" to show the dramatic tension of inner emotions and create a family drama that the audience really needs. Its style is different from that of the past two years. Family dramas focus on differences in tearing and conflict, creating a benign and harmonious family and marriage relationship.
While other dramas focus on showing the conflicts between generations due to differences in education, economy, ideas, etc. in the development of modern families, "The Time Is Right" shows a more benign model of communication and getting along, which is different from the Western emphasis on talking. The intimate relationship expressed is more about mutual support in terms of money, emotion and family care. What is different from the previous generation is that this kind of support balances respect for the relative independence of the small family and the maintenance of the close relationship of the extended family. For example, when Xu Guanghua knew that Xu Meng'an and Li Lin's family was in financial crisis, he would take out his savings and say that they would always be their parents' children, but he would respect their decision to have a second child, and would not tell them until he woke up after a stroke and coma. The word "birth"; Li Lin's arbitrary sister Li Jing helped take care of the food, clothing and daily life after learning that Meng'an was pregnant. Different concepts of life and traditional Chinese medicine concepts made the family "turbulent". Li Lin would respect his wife and cover for her quietly, while When Li Lin and Li Jing had a conflict, Xu Mengan chose to protect his eldest aunt and accepted her care.
"The Time Is Right" vividly demonstrates the close connection between parents and children, between brothers and sisters, and between families through the presentation of family relationships. It not only takes traditional Chinese family relationships as the foundation, but also maintains individual family members. independence; it not only integrates the concept of "home" throughout the creation so that it can be continued and developed under the modern discourse system, but also respects the modern family concept, thus advocating a benign and harmonious family relationship. At the same time, in terms of marriage relationships, this generation of middle-aged couples are also different from the previous generation, who are respectful and principled. They will choose smarter and easier ways to deal with issues such as unemployment difficulties, suspected cheating, whether to leave their second child, etc. attitude to face and resolve. The
drama allows viewers to see that there will be conflicts between parents and children, quarrels between husband and wife, and differences between sisters whose blood is thicker than water, but the big family is learning to tolerate the small family, and the small family keeps up. The relationship between generations is also closer, showing a situation of mutual help and dependence, which demonstrates the friendship between family and friends who help each other in the face of hardships.Depicting touching stories with delicate and vivid strokes, touching people's hearts from the details, triggering the tenderest emotional resonance in the audience's hearts, stimulating the audience's desire to discuss, and sharing their own stories in the comment area: some miss their loved ones, and some work hard for their families.
