Nan Nan is really in a bad situation. I understand that everyone is upset about her family and would want her to leave, but due to reasons she canât. First, the setting is China in the 1970s/1980s. Unlike the age that we live now, she is limited by the restrictions placed then. She is subjected to the cultural norms held by the adults and her family during that era. If she were to act out in a way not subjected to the standard, she probably would be isolated or treated as unfilial to her family thereby limiting her chances. Due to her rebirth, she has learned so she wonât be fooled. She canât act out with her emotions and must subscribe to the most useful role in order to further her goals. She acts /has the role of the diligent student so that she wins the attention of the teachers and other important figures. She knows that through education, she can provide a way for her to escape her family. So she tries to maintain good relationships with the administrators and other people to improve her chances. Another reason is that though Elder Lee sympathize with her and tries to let her father understand that what he is doing is wrong, he is in no way responsible for her. He for the most part is looking after his own interests that being his grandson. He probably wonât get involved until she provides the results that he wants. Also, say that she did successfully get away from her family during her school years ( middle school/high school), where would she go? She has no resources to depend on. And even if she got a job, saving up for the big move, where would she hide the money?Remember, she lives in a small town where everyone knows about everyone. Who is to say that a well meaning neighbor wonât snitch on her to the family, opening another can of worms. There are other reasons why she canât unfortunately leave, but I going to stop for now. Itâs frustrating that this is happening, but hopefully she will make it through.
I take back what I said, for **** sake both parents are just such dissapointment. You know my psychology teacher said the mother has some mental illness when I asked her if there was disorders like that. Honestly the sentence where it's Nan Nan's bad luck to have a mother like Old Ding was so flipping right. People don't deserve parents like that unfortunately we don't choose our parents ಠಿ_ಠI just feel like they should just die, she is better of being an orphan than having parents like that. God I feel so angry....(ăಠçಠ)ă
"it's Nannan's fault to have such a mother" Are you f-ucking kidding me now Dongliang!?!? He is as s-hitty as his wife Jiayi and his favoured daughter Zijin.... Even though he took Jiayi out of the room, he still didn't took any major step against her.... It's not good to always try to be a pacifier....
"it was Nan Nan's fault to have such a mother" !@#$ that noise. It's *YOUR* fault that your wife birthed a daughter instead of a son as per your plans, especially since if one was born, then you'd be !@#$ing bullying Qiao Zijin TOGETHER as a pair just to pave the road for your son. Don't even *pretend* to be a good parent at that point. !@#$. Qiao Dongliang somehow continues to disapoint my already nonexistant expectations.
Wow huh?!! Unending fight and unreasonable logic with Nan nanâs so called mother and father?! Frankly, Itâs very tiresome reading these unending conflicts between Nan nan and her family. Itâs like Nan nan against the world. But also I canât help but wonder what new problem/conflict she is facing everyday.
Oh wow. If only people can choose their parents then everyone would choose a good set. Lol how did you think many children live in abuse then. What rubbish. đ My heart aches for her more and more. This should be her second chance in life but look what's happening. (sighs) go to her immediately ml. đ
