More than 20,000 people gave the TV series "The Way of Heaven" a perfect score, but the lines in it can be said to be very "arrogant" and contrary to mainstream values, but the aphorisms of Christ, Buddha, and Tao are consistent. Beads.

Especially the conflict between traditional filial piety and personal desires can definitely give people the feeling of "a heavy blow" from an ethical perspective.

The male protagonist Ding Yuanying has a high IQ and a high degree of education. His ideas are advanced. How advanced is he? Knowing that his father was seriously ill and that even if he could be saved, he would probably be in a vegetative state, he directly asked the doctor: How can I let my father die?

When this sentence came out, not only his brothers and sisters, but also the audience were particularly shocked. As people who have received traditional Chinese education, our concept has always been that "the father is kind and the son is filial". We should support our parents in a timely manner and not "the son wants to support but the parents are not there". But after his father's accident, what this person was thinking about was how to make his father die on the hospital bed. He seemed to be suspected of throwing away the burden, which made people feel spineless.

But Ding Yuanying believes that continuing treatment is "foolish filial piety"! Because my father endured the pain, there was no dignity in lying on the bed with tubes plugged in. The true sense of filial piety is to reduce the pain of the old man and comply with the old man's wishes. In fact, at the beginning, what he said was that if the patient was only critically ill, he would do his best to rescue him before he was determined to be in a vegetative state. But if he was past the critical stage and was determined to be a vegetative state, then he would stop paying and remove the ventilator. Got it!

In his philosophy, if a child's reputation for filial piety is conditioned on his father's pain and dignity, then this person really doesn't even count!

When a loved one is about to die, should we ignore the physical torture and loss of dignity and spare no effort to treat him or her? Or should we preserve our last dignity and accept the separation calmly? Everyone will have different answers. For me, I cannot accept the pain of my parents leaving, but if it comes to that point, I will accept their request to leave.

Ding Yuanying replied: "If you raise a child to protect yourself from old age, then don't talk about how great maternal love is. You raise it for yourself. It is an exchange. It is not equivalent. If you meet someone like me, you'll have to pay for it."

When his brother scolded him for not being filial, he retorted that he was not used to the short life of his parents, and his parents were not used to their lifestyle, which was very contradictory. !

Later, when his father passed away, when he and his sister went to the cemetery to pay homage, her sister accused him of not talking about his mother. After all, this is how everyone raises children to protect their elders. He answered a passage that impressed me deeply:

At that time, I felt that his aversion to traditional culture had really penetrated into his bones, and the things he did were particularly deviant! But you have to admit that a character like "Ding Yuanying" is an unforgettable anomaly with different responses in mainland TV dramas that are full of entertainment and anti-intellectualism, and are gradually becoming juvenile!

He has forward thinking, walks alone in the world, and stubbornly does not go with the mainstream ideological and values, but he will not impose his thoughts on others. "Every god and Buddha has the meaning of their existence, and everyone has his own independent thoughts." With this concept in mind, Ding Yuanying enjoys his own thoughts and survives in his own way of life.

People who have repeatedly emphasized that "emotions do not need to be proved, and proof itself is a blasphemy against emotions..." and "as long as emotions need to be proved, they cannot be called..." are actually themselves. A very emotional person. "Such seemingly lonely people are precisely those with too rich emotions and too strong desire for love. Loneliness can sharpen the senses." If we have to interpret Ding Yuanying's words according to psychology, he can barely be classified as a "self-type" Personality tends to find faults in being alienated from idealized current things and worldly things. It is easy to get caught up in one's own emotions, but can show a high degree of sympathy and is very possessive of emotions.

Of course, this work is not only about family ethics, but also about business games, love, religion, etc. Friends who have seen it can discuss it, and those who have not seen it can try to watch it.

Wang Zhiwen is truly worthy of being an experienced actor. He vividly interprets Ding Yuanying's state of seeing through the cultural attributes of the Chinese people and penetrating the lowest level of human nature, and makes his loneliness three-dimensional and full.
