"The First Half of My Life": Living elsewhere, seeing others is good

When I go out to take out the trash at night, I can hear the noise coming from my neighbors when I go downstairs or upstairs. I follow the drama "The First Half of My Life" in unison, which shows the popularity of the drama.

I have read this novel of the same name by Yi Shu before, but I just thought it was the life of Hong Kong people, and there is a gap between it and our reality. So I just want to watch the show to see how the screenwriter designs the characters and interprets the story in the context of Shanghai.

This TV series has been praised by many people, and there are occasionally different opinions. Based on my life experience, I also think that the characters and plots in this TV series are unreasonable. However, it does not affect the audience's appreciation of it at all. The popularity of this drama, literary and artistic works originally originated from life and is higher than life. It's just that many of the chicken soup lines in the play make people think deeply and feel deeply for them.

When Luo Zijun encountered the divorce of his mistress, he was traveling around and working hard, and there were always unsatisfactory things at home and outside. When he expressed to He Han the troubles in his family and envied the harmonious relationship between other people's families, He Han He told her his own experience, that he had a good family but wanted to go out to work. Zijun said: I didn't expect that you also have so many problems! He Han said: When you live elsewhere, it’s good to see others.

In our daily work and life, we often neglect ourselves and focus on other people and things.

My colleague Yingying has a good family background. She has found her husband through many choices. Her husband is handsome and unrestrained. He works in a public institution, has a stable income and is a hard-working person. In the beginning, the husband and wife were loving, but as time went by, children and housework, life repeated day by day, Yingying felt that her husband was becoming more and more uninteresting and often quarreled over trivial matters.

Sister Xiao Wang, the manager of her husband’s business company, is rich and considerate. Whenever the weather suddenly changes, he will always give umbrellas when it rains and sweaters when it’s cold (they don’t have a car at the time). Later, the child Sent to boarding school, the couple was as happy as gods.

Because I am older than them, they often talk to me about their family life.

Due to trivial housework, Yingying often complains that her husband only stares at milk bottles and oil bottles. She is very envious when she sees Xiao Wang’s husband running for Xiao Wang in rain or wind. Xiao Wang also enjoys her husband's care and feels that this is natural.

After more than ten years like this, Yingying's life is still bumpy and noisy, but her marriage is still stable. It's just that Xiao Wang's sister encountered the interference of her mistress, so her husband had no room to directly file for divorce. Afterwards, Xiao Wang said to us: You saw that he was good to me, but you didn’t know that he was even better to his mistress. He sent his child to boarding school. I thought he felt sorry for me and was afraid of my hard work, but actually he wanted to be with his mistress. Have more time.

Yingying was stunned after hearing this, and said in disbelief: I have always envied you. You have found a good husband, who is rich and considerate. I didn’t expect it.

Xiao Wang said: I still envy you. Your husband is devoted to the family, taking the children to and from school, buying groceries and cooking. It’s great for the whole family to be together every day.

We often compare and be compared in our lives. We must not blindly only look at the strengths of others and ignore our own advantages. No matter you live here or elsewhere, you must look at the problem objectively and adjust your mentality, so that your life will be meaningful and more exciting!
