The most commendable thing about "little nyonya" is that the plot does not drag on. At the same time, it also shows various living conditions in the 1930s. For people like me who don't know much about Nu Nu Nu culture, almost everything is new, even the word Nu Nu Nu is a bit mysterious.
Clothing, architecture and food are both familiar and unfamiliar, and you can clearly see the shadow of integration in this group of mothers. In the play, a large number of shots are used to show these shadows, such as the complicated and gorgeous costumes of girls, the ancestral home of the Huang family, the representative long table banquet, all kinds of dishes and desserts. Even the appellation is full of exotic features, such as "head three, big head three, small head three". Servant Atao called the female manager many times. When I typed the words "female manager", her voice echoed in my mind.
In addition to showing Nyonya culture, the collision between western culture and Nyonya culture is also obvious. The traditional Nyonya and Xiujuan, who accept western culture, are almost two extremes. One obeys all the "rules" with resignation, and the other pursues his own love with deviance. The huge ideological gap between the two people may even make us feel a sense of estrangement when watching the drama, but in that era when East Asia was greatly impacted by the West, everything was so reasonable.
As for the hostess Ju Xiang, her tradition is not "regular". Chrysanthemum flower fragrance is a good mother-in-law dish, and bead embroidery is first-class Is a traditional mother-in-law. But when I learned that my father was going to marry a bad old man, I chose to resist without hesitation.
"Women don't have to resign themselves to fate. You must take control of your life. "
Generally speaking, this drama is worth pursuing, whether it is watching the plot or understanding the culture.
