Gratitude--Walking out of the maze of vanity
Host: We would like to invite the Military Training Art Troupe to bring us the play Gratitude.
(The poem begins: Parents love us differently from us loving our parents. Parents 'love is like an ocean. Our love is a stream. She always weaved a dream of concern in the deepest night. Always waiting for a tired figure in the longest dusk. The snowflakes outside the window brought a blissful sadness. A sweet tiredness floated out of the cradle. Waiting for you, growing up, waiting for you, listening to the most delicate voice. Waiting for you to understand the most casual gaze. Waiting for you, in the simplest dream, they are already white-haired. I still want to tell you that ancient story again. I still want to see you wearing that white scarf. I still want to hear you call me "Mom" for the first time. I gave you a young life, I gave you a bright spring. If you are happy, they are happy. No matter how much I have to pay for you, it's worth it. The deepest love was kinship. Sending warm blessings in this cold winter. Let us pray sincerely with a grateful heart. May our parents always be healthy and happy. May our parents be the happiest parents in the world.）
(The cold wind blows, the drizzle is blurred, and the father of the alms goes up to the stage. He wraps his coat tightly and croons: There were many smiles that knew they were fake, but still forced a smile. There were many memories that he couldn't let go of even though he knew it was painful. There were many times when one knew that they were tired, but they remained the same. Many people gave up. They knew that it was beautiful, but they were unwilling to leave. There were many desires that knew that they were useless, but they still wanted to be understood. There were many restraints that he could not break free from even though he knew how to pull. There were many things that could not be stopped even if they knew the ending. ----
Father: This damn weather is really cold!
The child was studying at Hua University and had not returned home for half a year. Today, she brought her child's mother to the city to see him.
(Turning back, mother) Mother, you won't even hurry up
Mother: His father, you won't even wait for me
Father: Hey! come on, come on.
Mother: " Father, where is our child's school? Why isn't it here yet?"
Father: Hey, what are you panicking about? We're almost there. We're almost there.
(Stop, look around, point somewhere and read)
West China University of Engineering, eh! Right here, right here, we're finally here
Mother: (Surprised) Right here, eh, I don't look bad
Father: That's right, this is the Little Tsinghua University of the Four Great Schools.
Mother: Dad, where is our child's school? I can't see it!
Father: Hey, there are so many children here. How do I know which one is our child?
Mother: Then help me take a look, help me take a look
Father: Medium, medium
(Busch hummed on his phone."Song of Gratitude" is grateful for every drop of water, it nourishes me; Thank you for every flower, it brings me fragrance; En, every white cloud, weaving my dream; I am grateful for every ray of sunshine, lifting up my hope. Grateful, grateful, grateful... He suddenly stopped giving alms and walked on the stage while making a phone call.
Busch: Hey, Xiaoli, let's have hotpot together for lunch. Yeah, the same place. See you there.
(The alms giving father heard someone talking and turned back to ask the alms giving mother.)
Father: His mother, is that our alms?
(The mother turns around and looks into Busch's eyes. She runs forward happily.)
Mother:
(Busch steps forward and holds his mother's hand.)
[alms giving: dad, mom, why are you here?]
Mother: My child, why are you wearing so thin? Are you cold?
Almsgiving: (somewhat coldly) Not cold
Father: Shi 'er, I've been dreaming about you for the past two days. I missed you and had to come and see you.
(Mother secretly wiped her tears)
(Busch looks around, afraid that his classmates will see his rustic parents)
[Giving: Dad, Mom, there are many people here. Let's go over there.]
Father: Yes, yes, say it over here. Isn't it coming?
Mother: [Choking and forcing a smile] Don't listen to your nonsense, I just want to see you.
[What are you thinking about? Aren't I fine?]
(Mother looks at Busch and touches his face.)
Don't worry, I'm eating well.
Father: Don't worry about money, I can still afford you.
"Hey, Dad, what are you talking about?"
(Mother couldn't help but touch the designer clothes when she saw them.)
Mother: Shifu, you look so good in clothes.
(Remove Mother's hand)
Don't touch it, this dress is hundreds of miles long.
Father: (Surprised) How many hundreds are these clothes?
Busch: Of course, it's from Adida.
Mother: His father, look, our child is so handsome
Father: Jun, Jun
(The father took out a stack of change from the inside of his clothes.)
Don't you have enough money?
(Smiling at the sight of money)
Almsgiver: Hey, you can send the money. I was worried that I didn't have money to spend.
(As he spoke, he snatched it away, spat, and counted the money.)
Five yuan, ten yuan, why are they all small change?
Father: Sigh, it's cold. There's nothing to do outside. Take this money and spend it first.
[Almsgiver: Okay, I'll take it first.] Wasn't he still busy at home? I have exams coming up and I still have to revise. Why don't you guys leave first?
Father: Shifu 'er, these two days have been very hard.
The exam is coming soon.
Father: You must remember, alms giver. If you don't study hard, you might as well sell sweet potatoes. Don't learn from your father. It's hard to farm all your life.
Almsgiver: I know, I've learned well, let's go quickly.
Father: As long as you understand, his mother...。。。
(Mother sees the bag in her arms)
Mother: Don't panic, Busch. I made you two pancakes when I came. It's your favorite. I even added two extra eggs for you.
Busch: (impatiently) Who eats this now? It's oily. I don't eat it. Take it back.
Father: Just take it. It's not easy for your mother to make something for you.
Mother: Just take it.
[Almsgiver: Yes, yes, you should hurry up and leave.(Pushing them out with both hands)]
Father: If you want, then let's go
Mother: His father, I don't come easily. Let me take a look at you.
Father: " Why are you so muddle-headed? Do you think that our child is more important, or is our child's studies more important?" Look, our child is busy
Mother: Alright, son, I'm leaving. Don't forget to eat the pancakes.
Almsgiving: (impatiently) Go, go, I know
Father: Shifu, study hard.
Almsgiving: Let's go, let's go
the second act
(After his parents left, Busch looked at the bag and said, Who would still eat this nowadays! He threw the pancake away.
Almsgiver: This is not a delay. We agreed to treat Xiaolan to lunch. Look, what time is it?
(Taking out his phone from his pocket) Give her a big call first (Dialing Xiaolan on stage)
Xiao Lan: Giving
Almsgiver: Oh, Xiaolan, I was looking for you.
(He went forward to hold Xiaolan's hand and exhaled. Xiaolan withdrew her hand.)
Busch: Are you cold? Let's go eat hotpot.
Lan: (Pretending to be relaxed) What are you doing here?
[Busch: (flustered) No, I didn't do anything.]
Lan: Who were those two people just now?
Almsgiver: (stuttering) Who, who
(Xiao Lan glared at him)
Bushi: (smacking his head and laughing) Oh, you see those two people, they seem to be begging for food and asking for directions. They went the wrong way. Let's go eat.
Xiao Lan: Yo, why are you so rich today? I'm rich!
Don't you think I should be nice to you?
Xiao Lan: (angrily) Bushi, it seems that you are not going to tell the truth today.
Almsgiver: Hey, Xiaolan, what's wrong? You have to believe me. I've never lied to you.
Xiao Lan,"Almsgiving, ah almsgiving. It's a waste that your parents gave you such a great name." Giving! Why didn't I realize you were such a person before? You know I hate it when people lie to me the most.
[Giving: Lying to you?] Then, then I was just afraid that you would think I was poor.
Xiao Lan: Poor, as the saying goes, children don't mind their mother's ugliness and dogs don't mind their family's poverty. Do you think you can despise your parents just because you're poor? He was really a country bumpkin for one year, a foreigner for two years, and a father and mother for three years. Ungrateful wretch! When we first got together, I thought you were honest, simple, and ambitious. I didn't expect you to treat your parents like this because of your vanity. I'm so disappointed.
(Xiaolan turned around and left angrily. Busch caught up with Xiaolan.)
Almsgiver: Xiaolan, it's not like that. Let me explain.
Xiao Lan: " There's nothing to explain. How can I trust an ungrateful ingrate?"
"Xiaolan, Xiaolan, I…"
Xiao Lan: Shut up. How can a person who doesn't even love his parents love others? You'd better reflect on yourself.
(Xiao Lan left the stage angrily)
[Humph, what are you pretending to be noble for? You still think I'm poor.]
(She sat on the chair angrily.)
the third act
(Xue 'er goes up on stage to introduce herself to Taizen.)
Xue: I am from the same hometown as Brother Bushi. He is not like this at home, but look at him now…Sigh, no, I have to talk to him properly.
Snow: Brother Bushi
[It's Cher.]
Xue: (Sitting beside Bushi) Where are my big uncle and auntie?
Almsgiving: Let's go
Xue: Sister Xiaolan left too?
[Busch: (Changing position impatiently, crossing one leg over the other) Hmm,(Busch stands up abruptly)]
"Hmph, it's all my parents 'fault. Why did they have to come at this time of all times? Alright, I bumped into Xiaolan. And Xiaolan, she just thinks that I'm poor!" Humph, what's so great about it? There are plenty of fish in the sea. I'll look for one more after one leaves.
Xue: (Standing up, sadly) Brother Bushi, you've changed.
How did I change?
Xue: You weren't like this before.
(affectionately) Do you still remember what happened when you were young?
What is it?
(Accompanying music playing)
Snow: That spring came early. When the apricot blossoms were in full bloom, our two families went hiking together. The weather was especially good that day. The birds were singing and the stream was murmuring. We climbed to the top of the mountain and looked down. It was green and full of vitality.
"At that time, I was very happy. I pointed to the other side of the mountain and asked, Daddy, what's on the other side of the mountain?
Xue: " Mountain, it's still a mountain. You have to walk very far before you can walk out. The outside of the mountain is very beautiful. The people outside the mountain are also very happy, very happy."
Bushi: I said, Dad, I must go out. I will make you very happy, very happy.
Xue: Now that you've walked out of the mountains, is this how you make your parents happy?
[Don't say anymore, Ling 'er.]
Xue: " No, I still have to say that last year, only the two of us managed to get into the university. In order to pay for the expensive tuition fees, your parents had to come from all over the place to save up money. Before you left, how did you promise your parents that you would study hard and that you would have a bright future?"
[Busch: Xue 'er,(stand up and pick up the pancake)…Xue' er, don't worry, I won't give up my wish. I will make my parents the happiest parents in the world!] Mother! (Running off the stage)
Xue: (Turn around and take two steps) Big Uncle and Auntie (Turn around slowly)
(Lights out,"Mother" accompaniment music starts)
Commentator A: Vanity is a distorted self-esteem, an excessive manifestation of self-esteem, a character defect that pursues a false appearance, and an abnormal social emotion that people show in order to obtain honor and attract general attention.
Host B: In daily life, everyone has self-esteem. Everyone wants to be recognized by society. People with strong self-esteem are more concerned about their reputation and prestige. People with strong vanity generally have stronger self-esteem.
Winterleaf: People with strong vanity are often unwilling to do things in a down-to-earth manner. Instead, they often use abnormal means such as lying and speculation to fish for fame.
Host A: They are materialistic and compete with each other. She was very arrogant, jealous, and not hardworking in her studies.
There are several reasons for vanity: First, driven by the concept of face. Love for face is a common national psychology in Chinese society. Face behavior reflects the feelings and needs of respect and self-esteem of Chinese people. Losing face means denying one's own talents. Therefore, some people will show off their face and pretend to be fat in order not to lose face. Second, it was related to the tendency of dramatic personality. Most of the people who loved vanity were extroverted, impulsive, capricious, pretentious, had strong emotional reactions, pretentious, lacked true emotions, and treated others with self-emphasis. They were impetuous and uneasy. Behind her vanity was a deep psychological defect such as inferiority and guilt.
Host A: How to overcome vanity? First, he had to distinguish between self-esteem and vanity. Self-esteem was the driving force for people to work hard, while vanity was the catalyst for destroying people. Pavlov taught the young man," Never hide the flaws in your knowledge, even if you use the boldest speculations and assumptions to cover them up. No matter how dazzling the bubble of this soap bubble may be, the soap bubble is bound to burst, and there is nothing to be gained except shame.
Host B: Second, you must build up your self-confidence and overcome your inferiority complex. People with low self-esteem couldn't see their own strengths and magnified their shortcomings. They felt that they were inferior to others in every way, so they felt that their lives were meaningless and had no value. This was the self-esteem defect caused by low self-esteem. People would not tolerate a lack of self-esteem for a long time. They often used psychological defense mechanisms to alleviate their inner contradictions and troubles. The poorer the person, the more generous the person was. People with extreme inferiority would go to show off and covet honor to obtain a temporary psychological balance. People who lacked self-esteem hoped to use the praise of others to confirm their self-worth, which was impossible to achieve.
Dongqin: Third, you must have self-awareness, evaluate yourself truthfully, constantly adjust your own goals, and at the same time learn to treat the surrounding fishing vessels correctly. It was normal to avoid criticism from others, but in order to preserve face and not live according to reality, it would produce vanity. True honor was beyond vanity. Love for vanity was a common problem in the country, but there were differences in the degree.
Combination: To overcome vanity, you must distinguish the boundaries between self-esteem and vanity, and correctly understand your strengths and weaknesses; He had to be an honest person and cultivate his own pragmatic character. Hurry out of the maze of vanity! There was no harmonious atmosphere, no mental health, and no peace. There was no laughter, no singing of birds, and no fragrance of flowers. Let us walk out of the shroud of vanity, break free from the entanglement of vanity, be open-minded, light on the road, and face a happy new life!
