[This article involves the ending] As a reader, I actually think that not revealing the ending is a dispensable statement for "Beauty Bottle". When I read "Beauty Bottle" for the first time, I remember that this article was classified as "healing", and then some readers said, this is not "healing" but "depressing", right? Indeed, the first time I watched it, I felt depressed and didn't quite understand the meaning of "Spring in the Class". But there is always another feeling, that is, the sun is out, the flowers are blooming, spring is here, and suddenly you can smell the smoke of human beings. Healing or depressing depends on where the reader thinks the article ends. Let's give an unrelated example. In the original work of "Alive", there is nothing but an old cow and wealth. In the movie "Alive", the ending stays with the family reunited and happy. Anyone who has read the original work knows that the so-called reunion is just the hope of wealth and wealth, and it is also the ending that many viewers long for. It's not that there is any difference between the two. After reading it, both of them burst into tears. Each has its own merits. Seeing the big and small, you can better understand the exquisiteness of "Beauty Bottle". Which one is more painful, living in a dream or returning to reality? Must be living in a dream. Returning to reality, no matter good or bad, we have to face it after all. For each of us in life, we cannot stand still every day. When I was watching it, I never thought that Bottle Girl had been Sanxiu's fantasy for a long time. After watching it and thinking about it for a long time, I felt uneasy. It may be that most people still prefer happy reunions. Even if the story is false, reunion can bring comfort to people. Most people who live in fantasies or dreams will have some tragedy in them, even those who daydream, let alone wealth, "real Yu Ji", and even Lin Sanxiu. It would be "unfair" to judge them as "depressed" based on this alone, but - a thousand readers, a thousand opinions. This is probably the first time I have read the entire story of "Beauty Bottle", because when I think about the ending, I feel that the middle part seems very painful. Fortunately, after all the back and forth, it is not a complete glimpse. I finally understood seven or eight points, and I am really impressed by the foreshadowing and the ending. As the same saying goes, people who live in dreams are the most miserable. A little wonderful idea can bring spring back to the earth. Lin Sanxiu is really not suitable to be a person who lives in dreams. After walking for such a long time, it is really time for her to wake up. Life is like a play, and she is a bottle in the play. This bottle should be broken. The above is my personal opinion, and it is only unfair to "cure".
Out of the bottle and in the bottle (spoilers) After reading "The Beauty Vase" by Zhao Choucheng, I was deeply impressed by the author's delicate writing style and profound imagination and portrayal of female psychology. I think this story can be regarded as an excellent psychological biography, reflecting the author's cultivation (mistake) in Lacan's "condensation and displacement" theory. Ping Niang is very similar to Yun Niangdu in "Pillow Love". She is a woman who suffered misfortune and was weak by nature. At the beginning of the story, Ping Niang's body and mind are so pure that it is impossible to look directly at her. Ping Niang's feelings for Sanxiu are not so much dependence as attachment. At that time, San Xiu felt that she was "like a couple like this", which was also the happiest time she spent with Ping Niang. Rationally, Sanxiu knew that the bottle girl could not be so dependent on herself forever, so she taught her how to sing and encouraged her to slowly step out of the bottle and survive in this world with an independent attitude. Sanxiu didn't know that after Ping Niang stepped out of the bottle, she gradually left her side. She fell in love with the romantic Cheng Xiaoqing (it is said in the book that "Sanxiu showed a lonely expression") and learned to move freely. When Pingniang got the script of "Beauty Bottle", Sanxiu's heart "exposed a bitter taste", but she immediately controlled her bitterness with reason. She married Tao Xunmei's second brother. On the surface, she supported Pingniang to take on the leading role independently, but in fact she wanted to let Pingniang taste the taste of losing herself. This kind of revenge is very extreme, but also very passionate, but in the final analysis, it comes from the fact that I am too involved in the drama and want to play the role of "Zhao Pan'er" forever. Therefore, when Ping Niang saw Sanxiu marrying Tao Xunmei's second brother, she would say: "Sanxiu, you are so... So selfish! It's such a dream that you don't want to dream, but you insist on dragging others into the dream. You are so selfish!" In fact, it gets to the point. Sanxiu rationally wanted to pull Ping Niang out of the bottle, but emotionally she wanted to pull Ping Niang back. It is this contradiction that harms Ping Niang and Xunmei's family. Soon, as many attempts to rescue Cheng Xiaoqing failed, Sanxiu's confidence as Zhao Pan'er was gradually shattered. In order to make a last-ditch effort, Sanxiu even began to use her beauty. He went to the "Drunken Crane Tower" and married Tao Xunmei's second brother to raise money, and finally deceived Xunmei's feelings. (By the way, Sanxiu and Xunmei are very similar in this respect. They have both had the experience of dressing up as men, which shows that both of them longed to be able to stand alone like the men at that time. However, when all means failed, it was their ability as women that finally enabled them to achieve their goals.) Sanxiu's angry behavior contributed to Ping Niang being taken away by Buhua due to her fame, and she lost her ability to move again. Even if you succumb to Xunmei, you can't get back the complete "Song Yinzhang". Facing the bottle girl who has lost her legs: "She still remembers that when Ping Niang told her about the poisonous oath that 'if someone leaves the bottle in public, he will not be able to walk for the rest of his life', she still felt it was unreasonable. So later she forced Ping Niang to act and made her break the oath, vaguely feeling that it was for her sake. But now, this vow that has come true is like fate, mocking her arrogance. " Sanxiu forced Ping Niang to come out of the bottle, which ultimately resulted in Ping Niang never being able to walk. This was not a manifestation of the oath, but a tragedy caused by San Xiu being too involved in the drama. After Ping Niang broke her leg, Sanxiu regained the opportunity to be relied on wholeheartedly by Ping Niang, but it forced the Tao family to die, making San Xiu constantly blame herself for being "arrogant". In fact, she had lost the confidence and courage of the heroine who "saved Feng Chen" at the beginning of the story. She cried to Cheng Xiaoqing: "I am also a woman! As a woman, there will always be times when you want to be taken care of, and there will always be times when you can't hold on. I looked at her, thinking about myself, and wanted to be like before, but I can no longer do it." Bottle Girl is no longer the innocent girl who didn't understand the world at the beginning of the story. When Sanxiu vowed not to be separated from her every day, she resolutely persuaded Sanxiu to go back to acting. Because she knew that Sanxiu was carrying the burden of the Tao family, and it was impossible for them to return to the pure world of two people they originally had. Here, the positions of Sanxiu and Pingniang have changed. Pingniang has changed from the object of care to the role of comforting Sanxiu with a strong heart. But Sanxiu became a psychologically fragile "Song Yinzhang". Sanxiu loves to take care of Ping Niang, but Ping Niang loves Cheng Xiaoqing. This is why whenever Ping Niang mentions Cheng Xiaoqing, it will cause Sanxiu pain and even anger. Ping Niang's final death was also due to the news of Cheng Xiaoqing's death. The story of Ping Niang ended with the death of Cheng Xiaoqing. Although she lost her legs in the end, she had her own love and learned to be strong, patient and caring for others. At this level, Ping Niang successfully walked out of the bottle. However, Sanxiu was locked in a bottle. The blood debt between Tao Mansion and Cheng Xiaoqing forces Sanxiu to take on the task of revenge. At this time, how can Sanxiu, whose confidence has been shattered, bear such a heavy burden? This is how the imaginary bottle girl is squeezed out. Sanxiu re-opened a world in her heart, a two-person world with Ping Niang. In this world, Ping Niang constantly and rationally analyzes the whole story for San Xiu, saving her from panic and sorrow, and becomes the character of Zhao Pan'er in "Save Feng Chen". At this time, Ping Niang is the embodiment of San Xiu's lost wisdom and calmness. At the end of the story, what Sanxiu recalled was the situation when he was rescued by the bottle girl: ... The pair of paperweights! At that time, many people outside were humiliating me, so Ping Niang threw the paperweight and went out to hit them. She threw it herself. ..."So, what about the kite?" Sanxiu asked, tears streaming down her face again, "You also said that the people from the Ming Cult found me only after they saw the kite. I was in a coma at that time and didn't know anything. How could I fly that kite?" However, the imaginary bottle girl is forever trapped in Sanxiu's imagination. She is taken care of by Sanxiu and assumes the role of Song Yinzhang in "Rescue Fengchen". The contradiction between sensibility and rationality in Sanxiu's heart is unified in the imaginary bottle girl, but she is trapped in another bottle forever. She can never accept the fact that she has lost the bottle girl. In Sanxiu's last performance in "Save the Fengchen", one person played all the roles, but they were all lifelike, because she could not only understand Zhao Pan'er, but also sympathize with Song Yinzhang. Life experiences shape a mature and complete soul. But this soul can only exist in the world in a divided form. Therefore, at the end the author writes: "Zhou She deceived Song Yinzhang, Zhao Pan'er deceived Zhou She, and Sanxiu deceived everyone." "Everyone" also includes Sanxiu herself. The beauty in the bottle is both the bottle lady and the third show.
It is one of the best Lily Xiang novels I have ever read. The plot is tight and reasonable, with twists and turns, which is touching. The writing style is also my favorite. Nowadays, many Lily novels are very exaggerated, full of fantasy, and overly idealistic. Those novels are actually very misleading. It is recommended to read them less.
It was well written, but it made my liver tremble, so I skipped to the end... The story of these two made me depressed again... I went to find a sweet article and read it _
WTF, WTF, WTF, WTF, WTF, WTF, WTF, WTF, WTF. I haven't finished watching the ending yet. Will I do it if I see the bottle girl die?????
Torture me to death ah ah ah ah
I finally finished reading this article. I liked it very much. I rushed into the author's column excitedly to look for books to read (to be honest, there are too few GLs that are really good), but I don't know why I can't read the other articles...
Read it in one sitting. The author's writing is very good. But there is really no good couple in this article, and the girl from Shuangcheng also failed.
It's really well written and worth recalling. In that context, this ending is already very good. Quite sad
I also read it in one sitting. I was so tired that I decided to find a relaxing article to take a break. I still have to say that this is a good article.
