Judging from the popular appellation, Teacher Ge in the play is definitely a "literary young woman" of that era. She is beautiful, educated, tasteful, and has yearning and pursuit for life. On the island where illiteracy is rampant, among the "mother-in-law" women, she stands out from the crowd like Anjie.
When I first met Angie, Teacher Ge praised Angie for her great taste. That kind of praise is not a compliment, but a heartfelt appreciation and joy. On this closed island, finally came a woman who made her like and pleasing to the eye.
Teacher Ge was invited to visit Anjie's house for the first time. She put on the skirt given by Anjie, admired herself in the mirror and sighed, "When can I live like this?" . Drinking coffee with Anjie in the yard, I made no secret of my yearning for Anjie's life and once again lamented that I "can live such a life."
Teacher Ge was born as badly as Anjie, and the fisherman's daughter was tied to her head like a curse and could not be removed. Angie was lucky to meet Jiang Defu. She was sheltered by Jiang Defu, so she could live freely. Mr. Ge, however, has no umbrella when it rains, so he can only keep his head down, accept the blow of wind and rain, insinuate and live cautiously.
Nowadays, the openness and tolerance of society have improved, and older women sometimes suffer from criticism from people around them, excessive concern from relatives and parents' urging marriage. At that time, Mr. Ge was an out-and-out older woman, and her "birth" was not good. Those rumors are like a strong wind, like a breeze, coming from time to time. Such kind people, when they learn from Wang's wife that Miss Ge is a fisherman's daughter, will be terrified out of their wits and try their best to prevent her sister-in-law Anjie from associating with her. As simple as Wang's son, he laughed at her old maid at the dinner table and cursed her for not necessarily marrying that ugly guy in the future. We can't imagine how many vicious, sinister and bad words those people with ulterior motives will say.
Teacher Ge, a woman with culture and pursuit, naturally wants to choose a partner who has the same language and can produce spiritual harmony. Mrding, whose ex-wife died, has been looking for cultural women like Anjie. On a narrow island, there is little room for each other to choose, which is most suitable for their combination. They also want to seize the rare opportunity and refuse to miss each other. Teacher Ge approached on his own initiative during his home visit, and Mrding was pleased with the arrival of Teacher Ge. The beauty's marriage is coming, and she is going to realize her wish.
There are complications, but the wife of the "good man" political commissar Wang has become a "cheng" who ran out halfway. With her woman's eyes and love, she thinks that it should be her good friend Jiang Dehua who marries Mrding. She wanted to get in the way, and it was hard for her to stop it, so she arranged for her husband, Wang, to stop it, so Mr. Ge's marriage report was resolutely opposed by the superior leaders. Mr. Ge and I never imagined that those enemies who are like gods have good "aunts" in addition to firm organizations. Teacher Ge, whose marriage failed, couldn't help crying in front of her, hoping to turn the tide. Unfortunately, Mrding is not Jiang Defu, Jiang Defu's firm stance and Jiang Defu's courage and determination, so we missed each other's wonderful opportunities.
Teachers who teach and educate people, affectionate and righteous women. In the political storm, I can't escape the humiliation and suffering of picking up shit. Life is just getting along. Love and marriage, poetry and distance drift away. Time will not spare her. In a blink of an eye, older women will become old women.
Finally, she married a senior official, political commissar Wang, which was a bitter experience for outsiders and got what she wanted. In her place, it is really a helpless choice and a helpless move. When Anjie was ordered to ask Wang's political commissar what she meant, she said, "I have lived half my life, what else can I consider?" She stood on the podium and looked at the classroom that was about to leave, with mixed feelings in her heart.
Just before leaving the island, Mr. Ge and Anjie drank coffee for the last time. Watching their conversation carefully, Angie asked her, "Do you like the taste of coffee or the feeling of drinking coffee?" "You have gone through many difficulties and obstacles." On reflection, she said, "I'd rather have coffee." They talked about not only the superficial coffee, but also the deeper subtext. What Angie didn't ask directly was "Marry the king. Are you satisfied? Are you happy?
"She smiled and said," if only the king also like your commander jiang. "Compared with married men, it is better to get married at last and make her happier. Ask questions and listen to the voice. Only Angie can understand her heart and only she can understand Angie's meaning. As a young woman in literature and art, who has never dreamed of love, and who doesn't want to find someone like Jiang Defu who is congenial and two of a kind. Helpless, she finally had to give in to reality and married a person who stopped her marriage, a person she hated. She didn't want to, but she just found herself a suitable place to live.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Ge and An Jie became in-laws in their later years. In his later years, Anjie, his children all got married. His children gathered around their knees and enjoyed their family, and his wife Jiang Defu was always around. In his later years, Mr. Ge could only dance square dance alone to kill time. Fortunately, he got a daughter-in-law, Jiang Yafei, and treated her like a daughter.
In their later years, they returned to the island to revisit. Teacher Ge shook his head and said "boring". Jiang Dehua laughed at her for "holding a grudge". It's really hard to explain a "bear a grudge". Others revisit the old places, touch the scenery, and relive the life of that year, with sorrow and joy, bitterness and joy. For her, in addition to sadness, sadness and bitterness, the rest is only helplessness.
As a young woman in literature and art, Anjie met Jiang Defu in her life. She has a sweet love, a happy marriage, a full house of children and grandchildren, freedom and fun. Compared with Anjie, Mr. Ge's life is a dream, especially on the island. He lived in a corner, endured humiliation, dragged out an ignoble existence, and finally succumbed to reality.
