"Only Thirty" Wang Manni: A small town girl pursues her dreams in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, how many of them come back disappointed?

The finale of "Only Thirty" is really disappointing.

Gu Jia, who had always been aggressive in the early stage, took it all in the end and honestly cleaned up the mess for Xu Huanshan.

The endings of the other two heroines put aside all rationality, "Once the golden finger is opened, good luck will come naturally."

Zhong Xiaoqin, just writing about daily life, immediately became a "platinum level" master and easily received millions in remuneration.

Wang Manni quit her job in anger. She had no savings and could not adapt to her hometown. She finally successfully went abroad with 100,000 yuan in study abroad expenses.

We all know that this ending is too dreamy.

The screenwriter really took great pains to make the audience enjoy the show.

As the first heroine of the original work, Wang Manni indeed carries the dreams of many small town girls.

Have ideals, pursuits and motivation.

Keep yourself clean, be down-to-earth and work hard.

I want to live a better life and pursue quality of life.

I broke away from the protection of my parents, left the human network and comfort zone of my hometown, and traveled thousands of miles to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou alone.

Although such a girl is a bit "idealistic", she is also respectable.

At least the idea she believes in is to get rich through hard work. She never thought about selling her body or taking shortcuts.

However, her "dream journey" to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou failed in the end, and life gave her a severe beating.

Did she not work hard enough?

In order to win over customers, I didn’t dare to go to the bathroom, and even though I was suffering from nephritis, I still had to hold on. I was lying alone in the hospital bed, and I only dared to "report good news but not bad news" to my parents.

Is her dream not realistic enough?

From junior sales to senior sales, looking forward to one day becoming a store manager, or even joining the Hong Kong head office. Isn’t this the most reasonable promotion path for a store salesperson?

In her, I saw the "restlessness" of a small town girl, and the professionalism and enterprising spirit of a woman.

When she has the opportunity to see a new world, she is willing to step out of her comfort zone, take a look, and venture into it. Young people should have this curiosity and should also have this courage.

At this very moment, how many "Wang Manni" are living the same life as her in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, squeezing the subway every day, rushing to the isolated island of work in the sea of ??people, silently "moving" brick".

While enduring the loneliness of strangers and experiencing the emotional hollowness and helplessness of adult women, they bravely pursue their dreams.

Eight years ago, Wang Manni made a promise with her mother:

She would never go home before the age of 30, vowing to earn her own living in Shanghai, an international metropolis. A small world.

In this way, like more than 9.7 million other immigrants, she stayed in Shanghai and became a "Shanghai drifter".

Life in "Hupiao" is busy and fragmented.

During the day, she dressed crisply and interacted with wealthy people worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in luxury stores. She held skirts worth tens of thousands of yuan a piece, as if they were ordinary.

In the evening, I took the subway back to the rental house. I was too tired to cook, so I ordered a 20 yuan box lunch to fill my stomach.

She wanted to have a family in Shanghai, but the salary she received, after excluding rent, installation costs, and living expenses to send to her parents, there was not much left.

On the other hand, her parents from her hometown called her and urged her to go home for a blind date and find a down-to-earth man to marry.

On the other hand, her eyes were fixed on successful people with a net worth of more than one million. Ordinary civil servants and working people could no longer catch her eye.

In this way, between her own pursuit and her parents' expectations, she pretended to be stupid and remained in a stalemate until she was 30 years old.

The company’s assistant @小鱼妹 said that of the three heroines in "Only Thirty", Wang Manni is the most similar to her:

They all came from small towns, I have a stable job in a big city and am looking forward to beautiful love and marriage.

Similarly, she has struggled in this city for more than five years and does not have a house of her own.

With just one word from the landlord, she would pack up all the trivial things in her life, pack them into boxes, hug her cat, and throw herself into the next cramped rental house in embarrassment.

/p>

So, if a rich man with financial freedom wooed her at this moment, would he agree?

——"No," said Xiaoyu sister, "I'm more realistic. I wouldn't care if he took me to several wineries or took me on a few cruises. I might care more about him. When will you take me home to meet my parents and when will you set a wedding date?”

This is where Wang Manni’s problem lies.

As a "Shanghai drifter", she is not as down-to-earth as the lady who runs the pancake stall at the end of each episode.

At least people are making money every day but rarely spending money, truly achieving "increase income and reduce expenditure". However, "pseudo white-collar workers" like Wang Manni live a "fine and poor" life that cannot make ends meet.

"Consumerism" and "refined poverty" are really poisonous.

Wang Manni’s monthly income is 17,000 yuan, but she is willing to spend 7,000 yuan to rent a river-view house on the Huangpu River just because she likes its balcony, which allows her to constantly imagine the aristocratic life on the other side.

Every quarter, she also buys a few pairs of brand-name shoes in order to stand in front of rich ladies without losing dignity.

The so-called "quality" life is just to make these small town girls completely lost in the magic city, so that every penny they earn is spent here, and they can't take away a penny. .

Many people say that Wang Manni in the play is a very "naughty" girl.

She worships money in her heart, but she wears a pure appearance; she longs to marry a wealthy husband, but she advertises "love first" verbally.

It's not as honest as Fan Shengmei from "Ode to Joy".

Gu Jia asked her if Liang Zhengxian was not a Hong Kong American with financial freedom, would she still want to be with him so much.

She became so angry that she almost started a fight with Gu Jia.

Later, she confessed to Zhong Xiaoqin: She was angry with Gu Jia, maybe because Gu Jia saw through her.

Does she worship money?

Of course.

Like Fan Shengmei, is it not good to openly worship money and openly seek a wealthy son-in-law?

She doesn't. Like her family, she also regards the word "money worship" as a scourge.

The simple values ??of small town residents are still deeply rooted in her heart.

Therefore, Wang Manni was in pain.

While she endured the material impact of the colorful world of Shanghai, she aroused strong desires.

On the one hand, she doesn’t want to admit that she has feelings or delusions, and she still wants to maintain her pure and ascetic appearance (because in her hometown, that kind of girl is the real “good marriageable style”) .

So, is there anything wrong with "worshiping money"?

Of course not.

Only when businessmen pursue profits can they promote production and society can progress.

Liking money and material things is no longer an original sin.

Then why does she keep emphasizing that what she insists on is love?

Of course it comes from the separation of her values.

Just like when she returned to her hometown later, she was "not a human being inside and out":

Her relationship changed, which affected her work, and she felt ostracized by the entire city; town, she felt that the local life was too poor and not exciting enough.

Unable to stay in Shanghai and unable to return to her hometown, she became a complete spiritual "stranger."

This is the inner division and suffering of the 90 million "Shanghai drifters".

Wang Manni is a brave girl after all.

She has been waiting in confusion for a long time, waiting for a "prince" who may never appear, or for a promotion. But once the opportunity comes, she is very keen to seize any opportunity to climb up.

The company gave her a "cruise trip", and she first found Gu Jia.

She carefully inquired about the rules of high society, listened to suggestions for upgrading the class (even if she maxed out her credit card), and even borrowed a valuable dress.

What does she want to do?

Do you just want to sit in the executive class restaurant and enjoy the scenery?

No, she dressed so beautifully just because she wanted to show it to others (although she would not admit it).

Subconsciously, she was here to let rich people watch, choose, chat with, and have sex with.

You know the rest of the story.

Liang Zhengxian came to the bar and saw Wang Manni at a glance:

Long hair, pure and lovely;

Wearing an expensive dress, but the soles of her shoes were Covered with protective glue;

It looks calm, but "Look at me" and "Come and soak me" are written all over the body.

Isn’t this exactly what Liang Zhengxian drinks with his wine?

As long as he used his usual tricks and teased her twice, Wang Manni would be hooked, like a fish that had been trapped in shallow water for a long time.

After getting together with Liang Zhengxian, Wang Manni’s most intuitive feeling is that she has narrowed the gap with Gu Jia, who was once out of reach.

She was finally able to talk in front of her best friends, about the wine tasting party and art exhibition that Liang Zhengxian took her to, and showed them the car and bracelet that Liang Zhengxian bought her.

If Liang Zhengxian is a villain who lied to Wang Manni from the beginning and concealed the fact that he had a regular girlfriend in Hong Kong, it would be better to say that Wang Manni automatically uninstalled her hearing and vision in front of him. , turning a blind eye to everything suspicious about him.

For a wealthy man like Liang Zhengxian, who has financial freedom and a lot of time to spend, and enjoys life every day, how can he not have a female companion?

Wang Manni did not dare to ask.

She was afraid that asking would expose the "prince"'s illusion, and she didn't want to wake up yet.

Until Liang Zhengxian told her "not to get married".

Liang Zhengxian’s non-marriage attitude is traceable.

As soon as she talked about the future, Liang Zhengxian interrupted and induced her to "enjoy the moment" and not think so much.

It’s not that Wang Manni doesn’t understand.

She held unrealistic fantasies, thinking that she might be able to change him, or perhaps lead him to the end of marriage.

She overestimates her own influence and underestimates the "rich".

The reason why "rich people" can amass a large amount of wealth is because they have very clear plans for the future and attach great importance to the "input-output ratio".

If marriage is a joint venture between a man and a woman to establish a company, then Liang Zhengxian has to offer not only himself but also real money.

As for Wang Manni, she can only show her aging body, her illusory "love", as well as a lot of strange knowledge about luxury goods (?) and her sales ability (?) .

How can these help the married life of a rich man?

If the two of them really get married, apart from applauding Liang Zhengxian’s spirit of “targeted poverty alleviation”, it will be so unequal to him and his wealth!

Let’s talk about Wang Manni’s hometown, the civil servants in the small town that she “disdained”.

At least they have a worry-free life and a partner. It is the "ideal bamboo shoot tray" in the eyes of aunts.

Wang Manni, an older saleswoman who returned from failure in a big city, what good price can she get in the marriage and love market?

Poor, she is still dreaming about "Cinderella" and looking forward to her dream wedding being held as scheduled.

Her ideal is to be a "white wolf with nothing":

As long as she stands next to the golden turtle husband, his house, car, property... everything will belong to him. She enjoyed it. She wants to live an ideal life of a rich and wealthy family.

Wang Manni’s mother once said:

You were harmed by this job.

Indeed.

She spent time in luxury stores every day and saw so many wealthy people spending so much money that she thought she could stand shoulder to shoulder with them.

She wanted to achieve a class leap, but she didn't have enough chips.

Wang Manni’s final study abroad trip was more like a dream weaved by the screenwriter for a “slum girl”.

Just like TVB's soap opera, the protagonist always has to go abroad to get some fresh air when he encounters emotional difficulties and work pressure.

It sounds as simple as taking a bus in front of your home.

Wake up.

The road to pursuing dreams for a small-town girl is of course difficult.

But after seeing the world, it is even harder to lower your attitude and return to life.

If you are still working hard in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou and making progress, then I applaud you; if you can’t hold on anymore, return to your hometown and live a solid life, I will also applaud you.

The most difficult thing for people to defeat is the obsession in their own hearts.

As long as you defeat, you win.
