The whole film runs through the theme of "an arrow goes through the heart". Li Baoli, an ordinary Wuhan woman, found a new job selling socks in the wholesale market after she was laid off. She is hardworking and kind, helping He Sao, who is more vulnerable than herself. But at the same time, she is a real flesh-and-blood screen image. Contrary to her fiery personality, her cowardly husband, because of his lofty intellectuals and strong self-esteem, could no longer stand his wife who was low in education and haggled with others all day, and filed for divorce with her the night when the whole family just moved into the new house. The stubborn wife never thought that her usually docile husband would file for divorce, so she decided to put it off until her husband changed his mind. However, contrary to expectations, her husband became more and more disgusted with what she had done, so he found various reasons not to go home, because the home at this time had completely lost its warm feeling, and it had become suffocating and collapsed. At this point, a beautiful woman from the trade union entered her husband's sight, so there was a bridge where two people went to the hotel to check in and their wife followed them. Under the grief of thousands of arrows, the wife unwisely dialed 1 10 and anonymously reported that someone was engaged in prostitution. In the end, the husband lost his official position and dignity, and he could never lift his head at home or at work.
Because her mother-in-law had nowhere to go, she moved in with her husband, who was an only child, and the contradiction escalated further. The wife's mouth is full of ridicule and abuse of her husband, and she can't wait to sweep her out of the house for her mother-in-law. For a weak scholar, this can be said to be "an arrow pierced the heart". It rained all night, because I had the experience of being caught in the public security bureau, and my husband's name was on the list of the first batch of laid-off workers in the unit. It happened that the husband also knew that the person who reported to the public security bureau at the beginning was the wife who pretended to be generous in front of her all day. Desperate, the husband chose to jump into the river to commit suicide, and explained everything in his suicide note, but not a word was mentioned about his wife. What happened between parents had a great influence on his son. He hated his mother. He felt that her forced his father to die, which made him lose his father's love since he was a child. Therefore, no matter how hard her mother supported the family, he never wanted to say a word to her. In the tenth year when this strong woman earned money by getting up early and carrying a pole, her son was admitted to the university with excellent results. When he thought that he could finally relax, his son proposed to let his mother move out of the house left by his father and sever the mother-child relationship from now on. This was a bolt from the blue and an arrow pierced his heart. She couldn't figure out how hard she worked to manage a family, but in the end she got her husband's betrayal and her son's rude feelings. After thinking about the place where her husband jumped into the river for a night, she figured it out. She was most sorry for her son, and she didn't do everything that a mother should do. Now the only thing she can do for her son is to leave his life, as long as he is well, he can do whatever he wants, so she went home, packed her bags, picked up a pole and left. This is the end of the story, an end that is not the end, because no one knows what the future life will be like. I think when my son watched his mother leave with a pole at last, his heart was sad, too. Maybe it will be many years before he becomes a father, and he will feel like an arrow piercing his heart.
The scenes of several wives in the movie are impressive: when she caught her husband cheating and wanted to make trouble, she put down the fire extinguisher when she thought of the children; When eating fried rice with eggs on the street with another female pole, while my son is drinking milk; When she is holding a shoulder pole on the street, she looks at the money-making opportunities around her; When she was persuaded by her grandmother not to affect her son's college entrance examination, she left home with a smile but embarrassed; She cried when she thought she could live with Jian Jian, but she was hurt by Jian Jian ... I couldn't help crying because of these shots. Because I understand very well that behind her stubbornness, she is burdened with the injury of being derailed by her husband, the hardship of raising children, the heavy responsibility of not letting the whole family go away, and too much, and she has never thought of how to make her desolate heart have a dependence. Therefore, life is like the last car my wife got on. Although it will turn off occasionally, you can keep going with a push.
(as if) ten thousand arrows have pierced the heart—be in extreme grief
I'm not from Wuhan, but in my impression, Wuhan people are very smart, and Wuhan women talk like quarreling. But now, if you look back, isn't it because of their frankness and truthfulness that people evaluate Wuhan women? Maybe one day, you will fall in love with such a Wuhan woman.
