"Best of Friends" centers on the grievances and grievances of three generations of the Lin family. It tells the story of three siblings, Lin Wenbin, Lin Wenzhi, and Lin Wenyue, who struggle in suffering and find warmth in brokenness in a family dilemma where sons are favored over daughters, stepmothers are scheming, and family relationships are weak.
The story uses traditional family ethics as the background, tearing apart the complex folds behind the word "closest of relatives": the obsessions and mistakes of the previous generation are like a hidden wound, which has accumulated over the years and continues from generation to generation, trapping the entire family in an inescapable shackles. Prejudice that favors sons over daughters, broken marriages, and calculations and exclusion after the stepmother enters the game, turn the home that was supposed to be a safe haven into the most hurtful battlefield.
In this long family game, some people are gradually sinking amidst indifference and betrayal, some are silently holding on to injustice and grievances, and some are struggling to survive amid calculations and pulls. The three siblings each followed completely different life trajectories, but they were always tightly entangled by the shadow of their original family: some met the light that illuminated the way forward in suffering, some grasped the straw of salvation in desperate situations, and some slowly reconciled with the past amid guilt and loneliness.
It records the real dilemmas faced by women in marriage and family under the background of that era, and shows how they persevered in oppression, awakened in harm, and completed self-growth step by step in difficult situations under the dual pressure of traditional concepts and social environment.
Purpose: Using the fate of three generations of the Lin family as a mirror, it reflects the intergenerational transmission of trauma in the original family, exposes the shackles of traditional dross such as son preference and stepmother game on individuals, focuses on the dilemma and awakening of contemporary women between marriage, family ties and self-worth, explores the human proposition that "blood ties may not define family ties, sincerity is the foundation of bonds", and shows the process of family members and brothers and sisters pulling each other against each other in reality, and ultimately leading to understanding and growth.
