Yulian representation of the traditional Chinese marriage.
After watched this movie, I feel sad. Yulian representation of traditional Chinese marriage. Her marriage was decided by her family. She had never seen her husband before she got married. Her husband did not appear on the wedding day. She can choose to go home after the wedding but she insists on staying at her husband’s house as a wife. She is filial to her mother-in-law and treats her husband's brother and sister very well. She never feels angry or wants to leave. Yulian shows Chinese women's virtues of traditional marriage.
In my view, I don’t think that modern Chinese women need to embody those attitudes. As a modern woman, we should try to face our feelings and fight for our happiness. I think that one of the most precious things is to have your own ideas and be able to create your own life. People should be able to change, not yield, to life that you don’t want. My grandparents' marriage is like Yulian. My grandmother didn't know my grandfather before getting married. My grandmother's family decided her marriage. After marriage, my grandmother took care of my father alone until she died. My grandma took care of me and took care of this family until she died. She never complained, but she said she didn't know what is love. She follows the tradition to protect our family. Because of my grandmother's story, I feel very sad after watching this movie. I think that modern women should listen to their hearts and create their own lives instead of obeying their lives to fate and tradition.
