The ending of "Mother Tongue" is: Zhang Qing and Fang Yun divorced half a year later, Zhang Qing took Zhang Fang to the United States, Li Yan never heard from her after returning to her hometown, and Fang Yun lives alone with Zhang Qiang to this day.
1. Let’s spoil the details of the story together:
The story takes place at home, where Li Yan is waiting for news. She is a Northeastern girl who breaks into the capital. She is not very old. There have been some ups and downs. First, he graduated from an art school and came to a film base to become an actor. While working as an extra, he was ridiculed by the director and his dream of becoming a star was shattered. So he went to a teahouse to work as a waiter, but when he learned that his father was seriously ill and needed a time-consuming operation, he cruelly went to the karaoke bar and suffered all kinds of torture. I accidentally found out about being a surrogate mother on the Internet and signed the contract.
After the surrogacy process began, Fang Yun’s psychological activities were complex and active, and she was carefully experiencing her relationship with her child. Zhang Qing is doing all kinds of necessary preparations and homework, but they are basically on a technical level, such as educating Li Yan on how to pay attention to nutrition. He focused a considerable amount of his energy on his children, and sometimes even cooked. Fang Yun, on the other hand, paid attention to the child's prenatal education and used some elegant music for Li Yan to listen. Li Yan felt that she was becoming more and more like a mother. The relationships and feelings between the three people are quietly changing. At this time, the Wenchuan earthquake occurred, and Fang Yun, a reporter, was transferred to the front line to report.
Fang Yun was shocked when she went to the earthquake front line. In the hospital where orphans were adopted, she saw a pair of lovely eyes. She felt that she understood how maternal love occurs. In those days, she visited those children every day. When she came back, she carefully reflected on her feelings. She even thought about the children in her dreams. She felt that the feeling of motherhood that she had not found through the surrogacy process was found in her interaction with this Qiang girl. One is his own genes, and the other is a homeless orphan. The latter has a greater and more real impact on his soul. When she made the decision to adopt the child, she received support from her mother and encouragement from her colleagues, but her husband held a non-positive attitude. She felt that her husband was selfish and unloving. In the end she obeyed her feelings and brought the child back. Fang Yun named it Yuanyuan, which represents fate and assistance. She felt that great love was not empty at all to her, but very concrete. She was just being a mother.
Zhang Qing and Li Yan are busy with the birth of their child. Zhang Qing named the child Yuanyuan. Both people love children very much, and the feeling between them is also changing because of the children. In Zhang Qing's eyes, Li Yan is no longer so earthy. Li Yan feels increasingly strong feelings for her children. So when the contract expired, she asked to raise the child for another year and said she could pay less. After this request was met, Li Yan took care of the child more carefully.
Fang Yun put the child she brought back at her mother's house. She visited almost every day and felt that she and the child were getting closer and closer. But holding her own child, she felt a strange feeling, feeling that responsibility was greater than family affection.
When Fang Yun was on a business trip, Yuanyuan fell ill and was hospitalized. Li Yan kept guarding her for days and nights. When the child was discharged from the hospital, Li Yan cried excitedly, revealing her true feelings and feeling that she could not live without this child. Zhang Qing was deeply moved, and the two embraced and kissed each other because of their mutual love for their children. When Fang Yun came back, Zhang Qing told her about it. Fang Yun recognized her concept clearly, expressed her understanding, and then left calmly. Zhang Qing and Fang Yun divorced half a year later. Zhang Qing took Zhang Fang to the United States. There was no news from Li Yan after she returned to her hometown. Fang Yun lives alone with Zhang Qiang to this day.
2. Character introduction
1. Li Yan (played by Qin Lan)
Post-80s, a Northeastern girl drifting from Beijing, young and beautiful, graduated from art school , determined to enter the entertainment industry. Because something happened at home, and her life in Beijing was very tight, she chose a surrogacy career by chance, which made money quickly.
2. Fang Yun (played by Wang Pei?)?
Zhang Qing’s wife is a journalist whose career is on the rise. Realizing her own value, she focused on avoiding having children, and finally negotiated with her husband to find a surrogate mother.
3. Zhang Qing (played by Fang Zhongxin)?
A scientist who studies life science. His parents have been waiting to have a grandchild, but his wife Fang Yun did not have a child due to various reasons. Thoughts and preparations, in order not to delay Fang Yun's work and to submit answers to her parents, the couple negotiated to find a surrogate to give birth to their child.
Three calm and independent people, a family that should have been happy. In the end, both women left. One was because she should have left because the contract was up, and the other left resolutely after recognizing her own philosophy. I think what’s special about the film is that by telling a true story, using warm themes, soft tones and the actors’ quiet performances, it provides the public with a delicious “Chicken Soup for the Soul”, allowing people to live a fast-paced life. People slow down to think and appreciate life.
