Watch little nyonya.

I watched the old Malaysian TV series "little nyonya" with curiosity this week because I saw the push of the new version of "little nyonya" in the application of Little Red Book.

Most of the actors in the old version are Malaysians, and I was deeply impressed by the real performance. The TV series is told by the heroine Yueniang through her memoirs, recalling the story of her and her mother's unyielding fate.

The origin of "Nyonya" is the offspring of marriage between Chinese in Fujian, Chaoshan and other areas and local female residents in Malacca and Singapore in the Ming Dynasty. The woman's name is "Niangjie" and the man's name is "Baba". Although they have lost the culture of China, they still keep their diet, ancestors' mourning, architectural style, costumes and other cultures of the times that combine Chinese and Western cultures.

Most of the family members are aristocratic families with superior economic conditions. Older women in their families have a very high ruling position. They don't need to study, but they need to be proficient in cooking, embroidery and teaching each other. Niangjiao seldom appears in public and values chastity. If their husbands take a second wife, they will be considered as mismanaging their husbands.

Little nyonya is a series of stories based on the envy of two big families, Chen and Zhang, caused by Huang's marrying a second wife.

Because of the times, Fannie and Freddie are weak and have a low status, and they often grovel in front of the big room, so she and her daughter Ju Xiang have a humble position in the Huang family.

The first hostess, Ju Xiang, was born to Master Huang and his second wife, and was envied and disliked by the whole family since childhood. After being sick and deaf, his wife and his wife were treated as servants by the Huang family and worked in the kitchen for many years.

Although she lives under the same roof with Huang's two daughters Xiujuan and Xiufeng and Mei Yu, the daughter of Huang's biological son Jincheng, she is bullied by everyone. Although Ju Xiang is deaf and dumb, she is ingenious, proficient in cooking, kind-hearted, soft outside and tough inside, and tenacious.

Because of her unyielding personality, when the whole family decided to marry Ju Xiang to the Zhang family with a prominent family background but a despicable character, Ju Xiang chose to escape marriage and left the Huang family. I met Yosuke Yamamoto, a Japanese photographer whom I met several times during my wandering. Because the foreign interface helped her out several times, she won the favor and favor of Ju Xiang.

Juxiang married Yosuke and gave birth to her daughter Yueniang a year later. During Yueniang's pregnancy, Yosuke was forced to join the Sino-Japanese battlefield when she returned to Japan to visit her father. She hasn't come back for eight years, and she hasn't been heard from again.

Ju Xiang has seen her and has always had a good impression on her. Because of family persecution, she had to marry Mei-yu's mistress, Chen Jiaer's son Chen Sheng. In the eight years since Kikuka lost her husband, Yosuke, Chen Sheng gave her mother and daughter a lot of financial help, and Kikuka was deeply grateful for this.

Eight years later, in the Sino-Japanese War, the claws of the Japanese war also extended to Malacca. After deserting, Yosuke secretly returned to Malacca to reunite with Juyang Yuemu. At this time, the war was raging and the situation was turbulent and chaotic. Bobby Chen decided to be a good man to the end, and agreed to the request of foreign agents to help Juxiang's mother and daughter take refuge in Britain.

Coincidentally, on the boat, they met Mei-yu, who was treated coldly by Chen Cheng, and Mrs. Huang Jiada, who had always been biased against Ju-xiang and his wife. When they met Ju Xiang, they were waiting for revenge. New hatred and old hatred surged, and Ju Xiang and her daughter Yueniang were tricked into getting off the boat and pushed into the sea.

Ju Xiang and Yue Niang did not die in the sea, but returned to Yang Jie. However, after the war, Japanese troops occupied Malacca. In the chaos, in order to take care of Ju Xiang and avoid being insulted by the Japanese captain who had eaten Niangjiang cuisine, foreign agents had to kill the captain and flee for life. When he fled, he was identified as a deserter, and he could only sacrifice his life to protect Ju Xiang's mother and daughter. At the same time, Ju Xiang was heartbroken and died.

After burying her mother, the young Yueniang agreed to her mother's last wish and returned to the Huang family. Influenced by her mother's deeds since childhood, Yueniang has a strong personality and tries to control her own destiny.

The second mistress, Yueniang, made up her mind to change her fate, but under the influence of her grandmother's resignation, she was also humiliated in the Huang family. In order to take care of grandma, she is willing to be bullied by Mrs. Huang's family. She got the inheritance of her mother's chrysanthemum fragrance, and she was good at cooking and sewing, and played an indispensable role in the Huang family because of family interests.

During her stay in the Huang family, menstrual Xiufeng was treated coldly for a long time, resentful and loveless in marriage. She often abused the two grandmothers who tortured Yueniang Tianlan with her first wife's family, and even publicly called Yueniang a "little bastard".

Chen Sheng was infatuated with Ju Xiang and resented the cruelty of his wife and mother in pushing Ju Xiang and Yue Niang into the sea. I don't know whether Ju Xiang and her mother are alive or dead, so she is very cold to her wife. In the long-term arranged marriage life, Xiufeng existed in name only, had no offspring, and lived a life of self-blame and alcoholism.

Chen Sheng secretly hates his wife and mother-in-law, but the eldest brother's son, Chen Xi, is the third generation of the Chen family and has the mission of inheriting the family business. The Huang family decided to marry the Chen family for the benefit and the long-term benefit of the family.

Persuaded by his uncle Bobby Chen, Chen bravely pursued his own love instead of following his own old path. I also heard that Yueniang is the daughter of Ju Xiang, and she has a good impression on Yueniang, so she advised Chen to pursue Yueniang. Chen also has a good impression on Yueniang, who has gone through hardships. Yuzhu's clearance and understanding also made a deep friendship with Chen Jian.

In the plot of the Huang family, Yueniang and Chen are in trouble again, and they meet a loyal but "one-track-minded" one. Fortunately, Yueniang's cooking made her mother strong, and Chen's bravery saved the day.

However, things change, because the first wife's house is in the way, and nature makes people. Although Yueniang and Chen loved each other, they failed to spend their lives together, which also led to the insult of Yuzhu, who was helpful and kind-hearted. After marriage, the Zhang family drove her crazy, and Yueniang was almost buried by the disease. Fortunately, I was rescued by a fool in a broken house and found the business opportunity of bird's nest.

Due to the poor management of the Huang family, the economic situation of the Huang family eventually went from bad to worse. The Huang family wanted to cling to the Zhang family, but the Zhang family and his son were very treacherous. They are not only cruel to Polygonatum odoratum, but also malicious to the Huang family. Take advantage of the "good mood" of Tianbao, the grandson of the first wife, to fight against Chen Jia, the arch enemy, instigate people to kill Chen Sheng, and then turn black and white into an army.

Finally, Sister Huang's daughter Xiujuan came back from abroad and used Tianbao's case to steal Huang's property. Tianbao killed Zhang and his son and ran away. From then on, the Huang family was devastated, the house was gone, and the family was ruined.

Fortunately, Moon pays good for evil. After doing business and the reporter's husband got married, the business got better and better, which led to the re-purchase of the Huang family's house and the return of it to the Huang family.

Although the play is very good, the plot is also tortuous and bizarre. But the ending is not very popular, for example, the ending of Master Huang and the first wife is too good. As the "Bai Yueguang" of this drama, Yuzhu is really a long story, which makes people feel sorry. What is even more disappointing is that the man and the woman didn't end up together.

I suggest that everyone should keep a correct attitude when watching this drama, otherwise it will be prone to ups and downs and mentality explosion. However, this drama really deserves to be in the front row of Singapore's ratings, with a plot that goes beyond "Dae Jang Geum" and a lot of cultural history about Nubia, which is of great help to fans who like Nubian culture.
