Destiny - Comment on "Foreign Marriage"
The story of "foreign marriage" is very attractive. The heroine Xie Qiao met an outstanding Chinese-American in Beijing. The two had a spark of love, fell in love, and started talking about getting married. For love, she rushed to the United States to get married. But she soon found herself trapped in a foreign marriage. This "lover" is actually just a "marriage trust". Without marriage, he can only become a wanderer. If they cannot find a marriage partner, they will be deported to the country at any time by the authorities. She fell into confusion. In fact, several women from mainland China she later came into contact with were in the same situation as her. However, in order to get a US green card, they must find a man to marry. As a result, they dated all kinds of men and suffered from all kinds of men. Not to mention running into obstacles and being played with, even if you get married, your heart and spirit will be scarred. Xie Qiao was lucky. There was a man who truly fell in love with her and dared to divorce her and marry again. She finally found love and happiness. She thought good times were coming, but in fact, she fell into a more difficult predicament. Her man was forced to deal with his ex-wife and his wife for so-called responsibilities, causing the two women to start a fierce war for the man. As a result, Xie Qiao was defeated, sadly left the man and returned to Beijing alone. The story may be a bit sad, but "Foreign Marriage" is not sentimental. After China's reform and opening up, there have been more foreign marriages. Generally speaking, most of them tell the story of women from poor countries who married to developed countries, thereby describing the ups and downs of life. In fact, most works discuss cultural conflicts and extremely unequal relationships between men and women. Of course, as China's economic strength increases and China's role in the world political landscape increases, the real relationships among immigrants are changing, and the interpersonal relationships in literary works are also changing. Women no longer marry far away purely to change their lives, but make choices more for love and happiness. Although "Foreign Marriage" also chose this theme, the era background it describes is carefully designed and conceived. When the heroine was moved by Qin Huai's demeanor and prepared to marry him, it was an era when the fate of the country was changing. On the one hand, China is getting better, but on the other hand, ordinary people have not yet realized this change. Most of them are still walking on the original conceptual track, walking on an old path destined to be tragic. Such as Su Mian and Duanmu Tingting in the novel. However, "Foreign Marriage" does not let the heroine Xie Qiao follow the old path, but allows her to pursue a marriage for the purpose of love wholeheartedly, making her emotional life equal to the more humane concept of love in developed countries, and ensuring her personal dignity. Xie Qiao is not a weak woman. She is not unable to get along in mainland China, nor is she a vulnerable group. She is a very confident and sunny woman who believes in love. This design has a purpose and also reveals new information of an era, allowing people to see the dawn of a new form of foreign marriage. The character Xie Qiao is innovative. Her character determines that she can survive strongly despite being deceived. Fate pushed her back to the same living situation as Tian Ermai, but it did not damage her proud and arrogant nature, nor could it stop the outstanding man Xiao Yushan from loving her so madly. In fact, her self-confidence was somewhat restored in the United States. In Beijing, although she entered the ranks of "leftover women", she found true love. This personality allowed her to quickly integrate into the local Chinese social circle and feel like a fish in water. It should be said that her prospects are foreseeable. However, she ultimately failed. The reason for her failure is not that she is not strong, but the other side of her character - a "real woman". Her strong and hard-working character has always concealed her true feminine side. While working hard, she made herself very unfeminine; when she found love, she regained her feminine nature. When she brought herself back to being a truly innocent woman, her failure began. Because in a competitive society like the United States, women are not pure. Tian Ermai is such a woman. She uses her advantages as a strong woman in the business world to rob men as a piece of business, using any means necessary. In the face of this kind of competition, Xie Qiao will definitely not be able to do it. The novel does its best to unfold many details in this regard, all of which push Xie Qiao to a disadvantage step by step, and finally loses, becoming a tragic figure of love. Xie Qiao failed not in the conflict between two cultures, but in the conflict between noble emotions and secular utilitarianism. This conflict occurred in the United States. In fact, it can happen anywhere in China every day. This can be said to be a conflict of human nature. Xie Qiao was a loser in secular conflicts, but she returned to Beijing and realized many principles of life and learned to control her own destiny. In this sense, she is a winner and a spiritual aristocrat. In the tragic story, the spirit of optimism is sublimated. Perhaps, this is the connotation of "foreign marriage". Today's new generation of Chinese people have a natural sense of being international. They go to the world and let the world come to them. Wherever they go, they act like masters, without any emotional or psychological barriers. The same goes for their love lives. One day, so-called foreign marriage will become the norm in people's married life. People can make various choices and face various conflicts, but they do not have to be forced by life.
"Everyone has a moment when he is blind and brave for love, even if he crosses the ocean, he will not hesitate." This sentence describes the tenacity of love. Love cannot be broken apart by difficulties. If it can be broken apart, it only means that the love is not deep enough.
Xie Qiao's imagination about the United States and Qin Huai was in great conflict with reality. Everything she imagined was beautiful, and she was even prepared for it, but the reality gave her a blow. This may be because the ideal is full and the reality is skinny.
Reality
The reality written with blood and tears is even more thought-provoking.
Deep and beautiful
There are no bad people in the book, they are all poor people struggling with life, love and anger. With the roots there, "I" will not be lost
I feel that Xie Qiao is too impulsive about marriage and is simple-minded. He easily listens to other people's arrangements and has no opinions of his own. Her sister is pretty good.
The love Qin Huai said for Xie Qiao was just an excuse to cover up his incompetence, but Xie Qiao really thought that what Qin Huai said was true. Qin Huai loved her very much and he really respected her by not touching her. Xie Qiao was still a little too naive.
