"My Dear Friends" realizes the preciousness of free life from the mother

I recently watched the Korean drama "My Dear Friends". The plot tells the story of the silver-haired family who "life is not over, we are still alive" from the perspective of the heroine Park Wan. The 60 to 90-year-old supporting roles are all senior Korean drama stars, and they seem to be the real protagonists. They are linked by alumni activities, and silver-haired issues such as illness, dementia, widowhood, and long-term photos are interspersed, as if It is something that happens around us or ourselves.

Grandma Jingya holds the dream that her husband Shi Jun will take her to travel around the world, serving her in-laws, taking care of uncles and aunts, and raising 3 daughters. Jingya helps her 3 daughters with housework, and earns the care of her mother in the nursing home. In pursuit of freedom of movement, she only learns to drive when she is very old.

Dreams of traveling around the world

In the third episode, Shi Jun looked at the recent expenses at home, and Jingya chatted with him about the plan to travel around the world. Shi Jun was unwilling to spend money on travel, which was equivalent to denying Jingya's lifelong desire. She angrily scrambled out the door and drove to her friend Xici to express her distress. She didn't want to stay in a nursing home like her mother and waited to die. She wanted to be a happy and free bird, but she found that traveling around the world became what her husband had always given her. Excuse.

Xici suggested to accompany her to the nursing home to visit her mother. Jingya drove the car carefully. The two were very happy, but she was extremely sad. Xici suddenly saw something seemed to be in front of her, and hurriedly called to stop. Jingya, who had just received her driver's license, mistaken The accelerator acted as the brake and stepped on, and the loud crash frightened both of them, thinking they had killed someone.

A happy trip turns into an escape trip, annihilating evidence together. But the two kind-hearted old men couldn't survive the condemnation of conscience and finally surrendered, but the situation turned around. The police found from the monitor that the person was hit by another car, and Jingya hit the animal.

Jingya is like a lot of mothers in miniature

Grandma Jingya is very much like the epitome of many mothers, but she saw that her mother worked hard all her life without enjoyment, and finally lay in bed waiting to die, which gave her a great inspiration, from learning to drive, moving out of the house step by step, leaving the family step by step, and practicing freedom and independence in the twilight years Life.

I also see from my mother that having financial ability and freedom of movement is the strength of women.

My mother is a housewife. She lives in a mountainous area and takes care of a family of ten. For a period of time, she also took care of two cousins and a cousin who were fostered in the countryside for more than 3 years. She is illiterate and cannot ride a bicycle. .

From the beginning of my teenage years, I wondered why my mother could endure three meals a day, laundry, day after day, because she lacked economic autonomy and mobility, so she had to live her life like this! ? But thanks to my parents for educating me and being able to be self-reliant.

Possess the ability not to ask for people, not to reach out

When working as a local reporter, one must ride a motorcycle or drive. It was difficult to run the news on a motorcycle for half a year and encountered heavy rain. So I decided to learn to drive. After I got my driver’s license, I bought a used car. My second brother forced me to go on the road. Jia had to bite the bullet and open it, once it was fresh, and the second time it was cooked, the more it was opened, the better it became.

After getting married, when my husband didn't want to accompany me back to my parents' house, as soon as I drove my car, I left with my son. It's great to have the ability to act without asking for help! I would rather be a working woman, burn candles at both ends, and have half of the household income, than be a housewife, and have the economic power without reaching out. It's great!
