Chinanews client Beijing March 18 (Yuan Xiuyue) The recent hit drama made people look very angry. It is not that the drama is not good, but that there are many strange characters in the drama. In "Home", Fang Sijin's mother shreds her daughter's college notice, and her daughter attaches to her to "suck blood" after work. In "Perfect Relations," Mbonnie's mother asked her daughter for 100,000 yuan to give her younger brother a tutoring class.
Netizens call it the "Fan Shengmei's mother", and others have summed up the routine: preference for boys, younger brothers, and family crushing. In domestic urban dramas, why can't women in the workplace escape a wonderful mom?

In 2016, the TV drama "Ode to Joy", adapted from the novel of the same name by Anai, was popular and not only celebrated the "five beauty" of joy, but also brought a lot of social topics to the fore. Among them, Fan Xinmei, played by Jiang Xin, has caused heated discussions on the Internet, and her native family has been the most discussed.
Fan Shengmei was born in a patriarchal family, her mother favored her brother, and her family sought her endlessly. Every money Fan Shengmei had sent back from work was sent home, and her brother paid for the down payment, the loan, and even the money for the child. Her brother was in trouble and it was up to her to clean up the mess.

Fan Shengmei has created a new class of working women for domestic urban dramas. In the past, most women in the workplace were facing career and love choices. In their careers and life paths, men often played a very important role. The story of the overbearing president and Mary Sue was performed in various forms. Fan Shengmei's workplace women are no longer "stupid and sweet". They are strong women before, and poor girls who are struggling in a chicken feather family.

In the recent hit dramas "Home" and "Perfect Relations", Fang Sijin and Mabonny also belong to this type. They all grew up in a poor patriarchal family. Their parents gave all their love to their younger brothers. As daughters, they could only be independent early.
Maloney earns tuition by working part-time, becoming a gold medal teacher at a training institution. Fang Xijin worked while watching, and became a gold medal real estate agent. But after they became independent, they still couldn't escape the shadow of the original family, and their mothers repeatedly kidnapped them and demanded money from them.

Ugly mother?
Everyone has different opinions on this plot. Some netizens believe that screenwriters always have similar aesthetics, and they are already a little tired of aesthetics. Some people think that although it looks very annoying, it is indeed a thing that will happen in life. The screenwriter only expands the reality, and there will be reflection and alertness with anger.
There are indeed a lot of similar social news in life. For example, a man in Putian, Fujian sold his newborn daughter to a nun, and 11 sisters in Shanxi made up 320,000 to a younger brother for a wedding.
In addition, some people questioned that the concentrated outburst of characters like "Fan Shengmei's mother" was wearing colored glasses. "Many people are patriarchal. Why is there only a mother in a movie?"
In "Ode to Joy", Fan Shengmei's mother has always played the role of "leader", and she does all the bad things. In "Perfect Relations", when Ma Bonni's mother arrived in Shanghai, it cost 100,000 yuan to open her mouth in order to pay training fees for her son.

In "Home", Fang Sijin's mother was a short-sighted vixen, who repeatedly prevented her daughter from going to school several times, and tore her daughter's college notice. After Fang Sijin worked in a big city, her mother made up various names and asked her for money. If she didn't give it, she would go to the company and home to make trouble. Throughout the process, the mothers who asked for money were exporters, but the fathers and brothers who had benefited from it remained silent.

Farce or tragedy ?
"The daughter who was consumed + the son who was abandoned", some people concluded that this is a common feature of many patriarchal families. In the above-mentioned hit dramas, these are all focused on the mother's attitude.
After the TV series aired, these mothers also endured the anger of many viewers. Some netizens are puzzled. Why do they have to treat their daughters harshly when they have experienced patriarchy?
To many people, Fan Shengmei's mother and Fang Sijin's mother are hateful and foolish, but from another perspective, this is also a female tragedy. They have always lived in a male-dominated environment, abiding by the concept of "respecting men and women as low as women," depending on men and existing, thus losing their self-pursuit. In life, the value that mothers receive from their daughters is small, which makes them gradually favor their sons.

In "It's Fine", Su Mingyu's mother is the victim of son preference. She married Su Daqiang to convert her brother's rural household registration into an urban household registration. After marriage, she repeatedly gave money to subsidize her brother's family. The original family was destroyed. For the rest of her life.
There are often hateful characters in TV series, but there are not so many symbolic oppositions between good and evil in real life. Tragedies showing women are actually not ugly images, but farce that shows women. There are many stories for working women to tell. Native families are one type, but they are not the only one.
The contradiction between the mother and daughter in the play is essentially a confrontation between the independent self and the traditional concept of "respecting men and women". In the recently aired "Home", Fang Sijin decided to sever his relationship with his family after his grandfather's death, which attracted a lot of applause. Many viewers expect her to escape from the "vampire family", but can she really do it? This is unknown.
Fortunately, many viewers have long disagreed with the so-called “virtues” of women who bear and bear humiliation. This is also an improvement. (Finish)
