Maybe I'm about to grow old, and the characters' old age gives me hope, or maybe I have a couple of girlfriends like that, and I'm ****ed.
In short, "Old Girlfriends" can not be missed, it presents us with a real and interesting old age life, sweet and sour life lessons.
Playing the five protagonists are well-known old actors, acting skills pure and natural, so people feel very intimate, as if they are living in our surrounding neighbors colleagues and friends.
01People in their old age, have more money to have friends
The five girlfriends in the play are all in their sixties, and have entered retirement life.
They each have their own life experiences and different personalities.
Let's briefly introduce the old girlfriends.
Pan Hong plays Irene, a teacher in a senior dance troupe, who is noble and stylish, with two sons settled in the United States, and is alone and suffering from a terminal illness.
Sun Di's Liu Da Fu is a straight-forward, straightforward woman who retires to Suzhou to join her son and looks for a job instead of enjoying her leisure time.
Wang Fuli, known as the first sister-in-law of Chinese movie industry, plays Auntie Mei, an elderly woman who runs a cafe left behind by her son. She is beautiful, kind and y compassionate.
Ms. Song, played by Song Xiaoying, is the happiest aunt in the drama, her husband and daughter **** the same pampered "old maiden", wearing pink dresses, talking in a whiny voice, more than 60 years old to learn the driver's license.
Wu Coronation is one of the youngest of these actors, but starred in the play "red sister", the bus conductor origin, hot-tempered, righteousness, and take care of the family.
Birds of a feather flock together, people are divided into groups, a few people do not know each other attracted to each other, there must be its inherent **** sex.
They are sincere and kind, with a heart of justice, and responsibility.
A health care product counterfeiting event, they became a party, and all of them are brave.
They know each other from acquaintance to acquaintance, and soon they became bosom friends who can talk about anything. In the face of life's difficulties, help each other.
Because of the girlfriends group, their lives are more flavorful than ever.
People are not afraid of old age, loneliness is terrible
Now our country has become a big country of aging, the problem of elderly people's old age can not be ignored. It is a good choice to embrace the old age.
In the years when they can still live on their own, as far as possible, do not give their children trouble.
Most of the post 70s who will be entering old age soon will have only one child, and their children may even be working and living abroad. Be sure to organize the second half of your life.
An old lady in her seventies in our neighborhood is from Baoding. Her son got married and had children in our small city, and she followed her children after she retired.
As a result, living with her child was not a pleasant experience. Soon after, the son and daughter-in-law took out another loan and bought a house to live on the other side.
And when you have a child, you'd rather hire a nanny than let your mom take care of it.
Whenever I meet this old man living alone in the neighborhood, I always feel pity.
The old man's character is relatively isolated, living in a foreign country, and no relatives and friends.
In fact, why would you want to come to the son to keep living it, in the hometown of Baoding have relatives and friends, but also have their own house, where everything is familiar.
The old man was forty years old when he got his son, as if he were a treasure. The first time I saw this, I had to go to the hospital to see the doctor, and then I had to go back to the hospital.
This is why she refused to go back to her hometown no matter what.
In fact, if she could make new friends, find her own joy in life, and be mentally independent like Liu Dafu in "Old Girlfriends", she might have a better relationship with her children.
That's why it's important for people to have friends who help each other out when they get old, no matter where they are.
The news has reported many times that the elderly living alone are sick and unattended, and even died for many days before being discovered. If there is such a group of old friends who care about each other in the drama, it would not be so miserable in the evening.
Money is the guarantee of old age, but honestly what the elderly lack most is not money, they do not spend much.
Spiritual fulfillment and emotional comfort are what they need most. The most important thing is that they have a lot of friends, and they are the most comfortable souls outside of their families.
In old age, there is nothing that can't be done without friends.
02 Life in the twilight of life, life can still be colorful
The five old aunts in the play, whether they are young and hard work to save savings, or children excellent for their parents to create the conditions for life is considered to be excellent.
The economic foundation without worries is only the bottom color of life, while a positive attitude towards life and a rich spiritual world is the icing on the cake.
In addition to taking care of the family's living, Ms. Hong went to the park every day to dance. Irene still hosts a senior modeling team despite her illness, Dr. Liu keeps looking for a job to play his spare time, Mr. Song takes a driving test despite the ridicule of others, and Auntie Mei holds on to her son's cafe for the rest of her life.
After they embraced the old age, they lived their lives to the fullest.
They drove to a small town for a vacation, letting their colorful scarves flutter in the wind on a picturesque meadow, enjoying the flowers at a Netflix garden on the outskirts of the countryside, embroidering the "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" at Mr. Song's house, and meeting up with each other for a trip to Europe to see Leonardo da Vinci.
......
When I think of my childhood, my mother and the aunts around me, they took care of their families, farmed and worked, and took every break all year round, working hard and having little space for themselves.
In my memory, my mother in her forties and fifties is the image of an old woman, clothing is always blue, black and gray shades, uniform conservative style.
The hairstyle was short and neck-length, though clean and sharp, but unchanged for many years.
At the age of seventy or eighty, I was sunbathing at the base of the wall every day. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm going to be able to do that," he said.
This is related to the overall concept of that era, and the social environment.
Nowadays, our living conditions have generally improved, and social tolerance is also high. Retired old people can still live a colorful life.
Traveling and making friends, going to senior university, volunteering, learning what they like.
Some older people feel that they are old and frail, not very useful, often born of pessimism, feeling that the best time is gone, life has become meaningless.
In fact, this is the most terrible self-pressure, although people to the old age, energy and physical strength are going downhill, but life is never because of the age and rejected who.
This is the inevitable trend of life, which everyone has to experience. What is the meaning of life? Existence is the meaning. Living the moment is the meaning.
Keep a young heart, to enjoy the evening afterglow, with a mature mind to see the ups and downs of life, then living is a kind of happiness.
Just like the five old girlfriends in the play, they are positive, love life, and live in their own way to be free and happy.
03 Accompany each other, grow old together bravely
Life is precious, love is more expensive, friendship can not be less.
There is a scene in the play that touched me y.
Auntie Mui's cafe is facing demolition, the only thought left to her by her deceased son.
At one point she refuses to sign, the poor mother vowing to defend the castle of her soul.
At this time, the attitude of several girlfriends is to stick with Auntie Mei.
Later, when Auntie Mei knew that because of some "nail households" like her, the downtown Children's Hospital could not be expanded, and the problem of children's hospitalization could not be solved, Auntie Mei compromised, but her heart is also dripping blood.
The old girlfriends see in the eyes, pain in the heart.
When Auntie Mei came to the cafe demolition site in the middle of the night, the girlfriends also quietly gathered together to rush to accompany Auntie Mei.
Under the cold night, several old girlfriends held hands and looked up at the old building being demolished one by one.
I believe that Auntie Mui is not the only one who was touched at this time, but also the audience.
Auntie Mui's broken heart didn't fall apart, it was the understanding and love of her girlfriends that lifted her up in pain.
This is friendship, maybe I can't do anything for you, or even empathize with you, but we can stand by your side and face the storms of life with you.
In this world, no one is not lonely, but the companionship of friendship, can reduce the loneliness for us to bring the fear and anxiety.
A few old girlfriends, but also ordinary people, without the power of one hand, there is no luxury wealth support, but have a more noble give each other.
That is the sincere pay, careful understanding, intimate companionship.
No matter who among them is in trouble, a few others will definitely drop everything and come running.
Auntie Mui receives a fraudulent phone call, and everyone deals with it together. The first time I saw this, I was in the middle of a story about a man who had been kidnapped by his grandmother, and I was in the middle of a story about a man who had been kidnapped by his grandmother. Maybe we don't have much power as old ladies, but together we are invincible.
This is also a person to old age, and society to keep the link of the way, the company of friends, so that the twilight of life unlimited warmth, so that gradually weakened heart become brave.
This is also the way to keep the link with the society in the old age.
