About Wang Shuo's I'm Your Dad

The biggest problem of the protagonist Ma is how to reconcile the contradiction between being a father and being a man. This problem is not a problem at all if it is placed in the orthodox era. A father must be like a father and a son must be like a son. But when you arrive in Malinsheng, your father may not be like your father, and your son may not be like your son. As the father of a single-parent family, he really took pains to be a good father. At the beginning, he made a dignified family law. He repressed his id and was often disappointed and puzzled by his son's indifference. Later, in order to reconcile this father-son relationship, he began to learn from his western father, made friends with his son on his own initiative, became brothers with his son, and showed his son a flattering smile like a grandson, thus gaining fame and reputation and trumpeting his democratic education. But when he faced his son's exposure and calculation, he suddenly found himself doing something wrong, so he went back to the past, even worse than before, stalking, checking, and connecting in series, trying his best to punish his son in order to establish personal authority. Finally, the father and son are strangers. When his son was killed, Ma was still trying on new clothes with his lover, but in the end, the father was still the father and the son was still the son. As Mary said, "You are my father and I am your son. There is no other way. Let's not force ourselves-from now on! "
