Dodder flowers need to be attached to other plants to survive; and does a fragile woman also have to rely on a strong man to live a good and meaningful life? After saying goodbye to her mother, whom she had been dependent on for twelve years, Yi Mei was fostered in the home of Professor Luo, whom she had never met before. Who is this Professor Luo? And what is the relationship between Rob's mother, who is as delicate as a dodder flower, and her mother...
Reader comments
I almost read it in one sitting, but I delayed my sleep and stayed up until early in the morning. It is not recommended to read when you are not in good health or mood.
The heroine's opinion is correct. Her mother is the sun and the center, because she is full of love and powerful energy. Wherever she goes, she is surrounded by people who are attracted to her. Therefore, as an orphan, the heroine does not have to worry about having no one to take care of her.
The mother gave a man a happy family with her love, and used her love to save a girl who was about to be crushed to death by life, and almost restored her health. These two people betrayed her because of love, but in essence, it was just the man who wanted to be like her, to be the center of the crowd who could light up others with his love and gain purer and more love from others. The girl relied on her, but because she was afraid of leaving her and returning to the society and family of origin that almost tortured her to death, she chose to stay in this wrong way. It looks like love, but actually everyone has their own needs. They used betrayal to hurt the person who gave them warmth, and turned the family into a strange and cold ice cave. The heroine's mother also died of depression because of this!
For men and girls, if they stick to their morals, their warmth will not be destroyed. The girl's illness is just a setback before she can regain her true health. As long as she communicates well with her mother and talks about her hopes and fears, her mother can at least promise to take her in forever, and will also try to help her find solutions to her problems and encourage her to try a new life. She has a very good chance of regaining true health and living a happy life. Men only need to restrain themselves, learn from their wives within the scope of morality, provide help to other lives, and gain achievement and satisfaction for themselves. They could have lived a better life!
For the mother of the heroine, she needs to improve her own situation. If she is good to others, others may not be able to return kindness, and may also harm herself intentionally or unintentionally. Whether you are willing to be generous and fulfill your needs, or whether you are unwilling to forgive or hold grudges against the other person, there is no need to torture yourself and make yourself seriously ill and die early. Open-minded people are the most blessed. She hates that it takes open-mindedness to truly become a resilient green pine and not to be entangled to death by female rosettes and dodder flowers.
The heroine's love is actually very likely to repeat her mother's tragedy, or even worse. Because the lover she chose had nothing, and was far less capable of being a lover than her father. When he chooses her, he is essentially borrowing her energy to satisfy his own needs for warmth. At the same time, he also wants to satisfy his heroic dream of becoming famous. His plundering and imitation of the heroine will far exceed what her father demands from his mother.
With a pair of discerning eyes, if you can clearly see the essential needs behind love and love, you may have fewer tragedies in life and a lot more happiness and correct love.
Another point is that the girl is not a natural dodder flower. She was just crushed by life. Her mother almost helped her up, but unfortunately she failed in the end due to some strange combination of circumstances! Helping others correctly is an ability. I hope more people can have this ability! Of course, while saving others, you should also try to protect yourself!
The overall story is well designed, of course, but there are many overly idealistic settings. There is nothing wrong with being in love, but if you are unable to control your inappropriate feelings and thus hurt others, it is wrong. It is not that you should be forgiven because you are weak. This is simply a moral issue.
My favorite book by Qiong Yao
I don't want to spoil anything in my book review (I was once spoiled, so I understand that this idea is not comfortable), but I just want to express my opinion on the ending - maybe the older generation believes in the idea of "great love and forgiveness", not to mention that they grew up with the education of "all parents in the world"; Ms. Qiong Yao also received this kind of education, and Taiwan in 1964 may also have had this kind of education. You should read the book in the context of the times!
This kind of old-fashioned thinking may make modern people wonder, but it is not fair to look at or even criticize the past and improve the author's three views from a modern perspective. So just savor the complex emotions in the book - in fact, I feel that the mother-daughter relationship between Yi Mei and Ms. Jiang Xiulin in this book is very touching, no less than Mengzhu and Xiaotong in "Several Degrees of Sunset Red"! Yi Mei grew up to be a person with a character like a pine tree like her mother.
Of course, there are elements of idealization in the book, whether it is the criticized ending or the sudden emotional line. It can only be said that the world of the novel is not perfect, but the point conveyed is correct - when people live in the world, they must rely on themselves, and don't be like the dodder that depends on others!
Aunt Qiong Yao's writing style is really amazing and beautiful
I have been chasing every book written by Qiong Yao.
I vaguely read it when I was a kid and forgot to read it again. Now that I am over fifty, my mood when reading is different from when I was a kid.
Very good. I didn't read her book when I was young. Now that I read it, I regret not reading it earlier [crying]
Good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years. The heroine is such a good mother and has to work hard all her life, but bad people can survive...
It was written by that great woman again. Her words are always full of so much emotion, and I will be lingering in her world of words for a long time. Emotions pour out
The storyline is super cool!
2025.5.7 Review Qiong Yao's novels
The content is very nice
I whispered softly: "The light strips do not lead to themselves, they are tilted to chase the spring breeze. The hundreds of feet support the distant pines, and the lingering family becomes one."
I like Qiong Yao's books and reminisce about my youth
Good-looking content with rich emotions and colorful content. I like to watch it.
