Since Midnight Food Store was broadcast, its reputation has been poor for various reasons, and its score in Douban is as low as 2.2. But the more mellow it is, the more time it takes to precipitate, and the more it is worth pondering. Midnight Food Store is made up of countless short stories. If you are not interested in the stories in the previous episodes, you might as well go and see the story "Mark's Daughter" that we are going to tell today.
? Mark is a sailor who runs ocean lines. His handsome and sexy appearance and tall and powerful figure always attract different women to strike up a conversation when dining in Midnight Food Store. It's a pity that most women turned and left after learning that Mark was a deaf-mute, which is not surprising to Mark. After all, he has been used to too much experience and has an unknown loneliness in his heart. As Huang Lei's narrator said, Mark is a completely lonely man, wandering between the crowd and the sea. However, with the arrival of Lele, this lonely and vicissitudes man opened his closed heart and finally showed his tenderness and love. Lele was an abandoned baby that Mark found at the dock. In fact, she was left behind by traffickers in desperation, not abandoned by her biological parents.
In order to take care of his daughter, this bohemian man applied for a job change, from a sailor to a maintenance worker. My daughter doesn't like vegetables. Every Friday, he takes her to Midnight Food Store for "vegetable supplement", because the canteen owner will cut all kinds of vegetables into pieces and mix them with meat to make patties and put them in hamburgers. Although he can't hear any sound and can't read, in order to make his daughter happy, he will accompany her to the movies, although he will always fall asleep in the middle ... Although he is a new father and his own conditions are limited, Mark has been working very hard to be a good father. Although there is no blood relationship, the arrival of Lele made Mark hear the voices of the whole world.
Mark's daughter, Lele, is also very sensible and considerate, and she is a cute and witty pistachio. She and all the regulars in Midnight Food Store are very close, even the unsmiling dragon and the fickle ah xian all love her; She will go to the supermarket to buy food after school, and the food list is her own hand-painted stick figure; She will do housework by herself to reduce Mark's burden and take care of each other with Mark in life. She saw an advertisement for Barbie on the subway. Mark asked her if she wanted to buy it for her when she got paid next month. Although she really liked it very much, she shook her head sensibly and said she didn't want it, because she knew that Mark's financial conditions were not plentiful. Going out to work, Mark can't read, and Lele will be a sign language interpreter very intimately ... < P > Life is so simple and warm, until one day, Lele accidentally fell down while cleaning, hurting his forehead and bleeding. Lele fell in a pool of blood and called Mark's name over and over again, but unfortunately Mark couldn't hear it at all. When Mark found out, Lele had lost consciousness and fell into a coma. Mark ran around the hospital with Lele's tiny body in his arms, gesticulating at the doctor, but the doctor couldn't understand it at all. Mark was anxious to go crazy, but he couldn't express it in words. Perhaps only Mark Chao's "plastic surgery-like" acting skills can be qualified for the role of Mark. The more you get to the back of the story, the more worrying the plot is, and the more Mark Chao's acting skills poke people's hearts.
Because of Lele's accident, the hospital and the police found that Mark and Lele were not related by blood, and through the genetic comparison of the missing children's parent-child bank, Lele's biological mother was found. Lele's biological mother is a famous female entrepreneur. She has been looking for her daughter for more than five years. She is a little at a loss in the face of Lele and is bent on making up for all the maternal love that has been missing for many years. Stephy played such a mother vividly, which showed incisively and vividly the joy of her daughter's recovery, her cautious attitude towards her daughter, and her worries about being swayed by considerations of gain and loss. After all, she is just a loving mother.
In order to win the custody and visiting rights of Lele, Mark worked hard to learn pronunciation and literacy, worked hard to save money, and tried to show that he had the ability to take care of Lele, but the reality was cruel. Even if Mark takes out a children's book in court and reads it to the judge word by word, it shows that he can learn to speak, learn to read and take care of Lele. Mark's complex emotions of stubbornness, despair, helplessness, grief, prayer, reluctance, helplessness and heartbreak in court are all moving, and the tears of the audience have long been unable to hold back. What a heavy but unforgettable fatherly love it is ...
