She was set up by a classmate who was usually bullied by her and considered very weak by everyone, which created a strong sense of twist.
Upon learning she was pregnant, Chunzhen’s first reaction was to give birth and protect her child.
But it was this very Chunzhen, who wanted to have the child, that was forced by her own parents to abort.
Her parents were decisive and resolute, and when they failed to communicate with her, they took drastic asures.
The most intense conflict in their story was also fild in a hospital, portraying the standoff between the child and her parents. Watching this scene from the beginning to the end makes one feel not only heart-wrenching but also oppressive.
The dialogue between the child and her parents was classic, mirroring so of the issues present in Huaxia’s societal structure.
The child believed that she should be responsible for the life that was being nurtured in her womb, while the parents believed she was too young to bear such a responsibility.
Many very real issues were laid out before them. As an 18-year-old girl just stepping into the adult world, could she take good care of the child? How would her life change after having this child? Could she lead a normal life? Could she still marry and have children? What would her future hold?
Even whether Chunzhen could graduate smoothly was sothing her parents did not know.
At the mont they received the news, her parents also collapsed, unable to imagine their daughter could do sothing so preposterous.
Even though Chunzhen had been frad from the very beginning, not a single person believed her. Because of her previous bad behavior and bad temper, everyone unanimously thought that Chunzhen had been behaving recklessly outside, which made her already contradictory personality beco even more pointed.
The ending of the second female lead’s story showed her lying pale on the hospital bed, eyes closed, wearing blue and white striped hospital attire, with a blue plastic cap on her head and a slight frown on her brow.
This shot was heart-wrenching but also puzzling to the audience, unable to discern whether Chunzhen was resting in the ward after the surgery, or being pushed into the ward to undergo the surgery.
Just as the audience was about to see the na tagged on the door to the ward, at that mont, a familiar yet curse-inducing spin appeared on the screen.
And sure enough, the answer remained undisclosed, and the next protagonist, Luo i as portrayed by He Jinxia, took the stage.
Regarding the character Luo i, He Jinxia could recall the role even after a long ti.
Watching her own performance in the film, every move, every plant feels so familiar.
Unlike the stories of the previous two female leads, Luo i’s story unfolds after the loss of her child, sowhat narrating what the lives of the first two female leads might beco.
The gloomy tis will eventually pass, with a long journey ahead. Sorrow cannot linger forever; ti will not pause for anyone. Days could be numb, diocre, boring, but one gets used to it.
Luo i thought she would continue to live a mundane life, until one day, returning ho from a late shift, she discovered a newborn baby in a small cart filled with rubbish, and her life welcod a second spring.
Despite the ager wages, Luo i would rather scrimp and save to buy pretty clothes and expensive milk powder for the baby. She fought for the child and was willing to make sacrifices for it, even though the infant was not her biological child.
As a paranoid depression sufferer, Luo i had poured all her heart into her child, the child was her salvation.
If the audience was to feel the glory of motherhood from the second story onward, then from Luo i, this feeling was intensified, showing the frenzy of a mother.
When calm days beca lively due to the child, and Luo i’s life, stagnant as dead water, beca vibrant, it was then that the child’s biological parents appeared, severing the blissful days with a single cut.
The most classic mont of this scene lies in Luo i’s interrogation of the child’s biological parents and the judge in court, the hysterical screams and roars, exploding like a mad person, which took the audience’s emotions to a climax, wrenching everyone’s hearts.
He Jinxia could even hear so of the audience’s crying, many empathized deeply.
Perhaps because the filming was sowhat dated, now seeing herself on the screen, He Jinxia managed to shake off a trace of the eerie feeling of watching her own performance and imrsed herself in the plot together with the audience.
However, unlike others, she knew how the plot would unfold next, so she had an added layer of rationality.
Suddenly, He Jinxia frowned, feeling as if the sobbing from the audience had montarily grown louder, and when she turned her head to look, she couldn’t help but feel a little speechless.
Turned out, sitting beside her, Duan Yu had also beco teary-eyed while watching.
Duan Yu noticed He Jinxia’s gaze, gave a slight cough, sniffled, and explained, "Your performance was too good. I cried during this part while I was editing as well. Compared to the other two lead actresses, you handled it more maturely and smoothly, completely overshadowing them."
Another director also explained, "Other actors seem to burst out superficially, but your outburst cos from within, releasing from the depths of your heart and is very infectious. We were all shocked during the editing process."
During filming, they only felt that He Jinxia was performing well. Only when they compared her performance clips to the other two actresses during editing did they realize that He Jinxia was a cut above in terms of explosive power, emotional impact, and her physical expressions.
He Jinxia coughed, it had been a long ti since she had received such straightforward complints, and she felt oddly nostalgic.
Wait, no, it seed that from her transition to being an actress until now, many people only said she acted well, but they never specified what exactly was good about her performance.
Complints like those from Duan Yu were absent; thus, was this the first ti she was receiving such praise?
Hiss—
He Jinxia shivered slightly, she had to admit, even though it felt wonderful, it still seed quite bizarre!
Setting aside the jumbled thoughts in her mind, He Jinxia continued to watch. She was eager to see what ending the director had set for the three female leads.
During the filming, He Jinxia distinctly rembered shooting two endings, one was neither sad nor joyful, while the other was tragic.
The neither sad nor joyful ending showed that the child’s custody was ultimately taken back by the biological parents. Fortunately, they ultimately understood that Luo i’s love for the child was no less than theirs, and if it wasn’t for Luo i taking the child back, they wouldn’t be able to find their child today.
Hence, Luo i reconciled with the child’s parents, and the child also recognized Luo i as godmother, occasionally visiting Luo i’s ho to play.
