They are jealous of each other and learn from each other Those who are over 9 on Douban are more conscientious
Elena's jealousy of Lila has never stopped. She is a born genius. As long as she is in any subject, she will always be the best. When she was unable to continue going to school because of poverty, Lila said she would take Elena to see the sea, but her motive was so that Elena would be scolded by her parents and end up not having to go to school like herself.
"Not all girls are made of sweets, spices and nice things. Some girls are born to represent adventure, wine, wisdom and fearlessness."
Lila's childhood was full of violence, and she could not escape the shadow of patriarchy. She was thrown out of the window and onto the street by her father just because she insisted on going to school. Elena's company was the greatest comfort; when Elena was molested by a boy, Lila held a knife to the boy's neck until the boy ran away.
Reflection
The lives of two girls from childhood to old age tell us two different lives, which are full of emotions.
Fifty years of two women, it's good that the story stops here.

Before Lila appeared, Lenon had always been the first in the class and was favored by the head teacher. But the arrival of Lila broke this situation. She could easily replace Lenon and become the first in the class, so Lenon had various ambivalences such as jealousy and admiration.
