Adapted from a novel of the same name, the play tells the story of how daughter-in-law Yining stepped onto the top of her career step by step. Some things involve her family and the world. Yining escaped from danger by virtue of her intelligence and realized her self-worth. Some people think that this drama is similar to the history of the Southern Song Dynasty in many places.
First of all, the "widowed" dynasty is called Wu Dynasty, which has shown a shaky trend. The country is weak and there are strong enemies outside, which can be described as internal troubles and foreign invasion. This is similar to the situation in the Southern Song Dynasty. Yining is an active and brave patriot. He was originally a little daughter-in-law, but he stumbled into a pillar of the country by mistake and assumed a great responsibility.
Mother-in-law means son-in-law, and many people will describe it as eating soft rice and worthless. Husband is in a low position in marriage and left out in the cold. As long as you choose to be a husband, you have to be prepared to bear it. The wind of husbands prevailed in Song Dynasty, and many couples were married by men at women's homes, which all came from Song Taizu's life experience.
Song Taizu's father stayed at his mother's house on a snowy night and became a son-in-law. Later, Song Taizu appeared, so the trend of husbands began to develop. Many men give up their dignity and adopt children in order to gain a strong background in the woman's family and have more and more power.
The background of My Widow is very similar to that of the Southern Song Dynasty. Several Liangshan heroes have been accepted by Yining, which reminds people of 100 single generals in Water Margin. Its background is the Song Huizong period, and Song Huizong was the emperor of the Song Dynasty, so the story background of "Widowed Husband" is somewhat similar to that of the Song Dynasty, but there is no Wu Dynasty in history, and the play is overhead, so Yining naturally has no prototype.
