In Everything's Fine, Su Ming Jade never gets the warmth from her family, but she still has to support her father alone. Is this fair?

? This is of course unfair, and it is quite unfair from the perspective of legal provisions, traditional morality and objective reality.

From the legal point of view: Article 21 of China's Marriage Law stipulates that "parents have the obligation to raise and educate their children; Children have the obligation to support and assist their parents, and so do children. It is undoubtedly illegal to throw all the gifts of Su Daqiang to Su Mingyu. Although neither of the two sons lives in the local area, they both have legitimate jobs and incomes, which are not within the scope of exemption from maintenance obligations.

From the perspective of traditional morality, the traditional mainstream concept in China is that after marriage, women will not participate in the distribution of property in family of origin, nor will they assume the obligation of their biological parents to provide for the aged and die. In the play, Su Daqiang left all his property to his son Su Mingcheng. According to the traditional concept, Su Ming's achievements should bear the main responsibility of Su Daqiang's pension, not Su Mingyu, who didn't get any property at all.

From the objective reality, Su Mingyu certainly has the ability and economic conditions to support his father. As a social elite, she will also care about her reputation. She can give her father superior pension conditions regardless of her past sufferings. However, in the play, Su Mingyu was asked to give up her career and go home to take care of her father full-time, which was simply to stir up feelings and completely ignored the objective reality. Su Mingyu was trapped by the prejudice and unfairness of her parents who preferred sons to daughters since she was a child. She even wanted to die and get rid of such a family and environment. She knows that money and power can bring her dignity and self-confidence. She fought bravely with the whole world in the workplace, and after numerous hardships, she finally succeeded. And why did she give up her bright future at this time?

Can't she use money to buy her father the best pension conditions? Modern science and technology have been quite developed. If you are worried that the nanny is not in place, you can install monitoring inside and outside the villa, and Su Mingyu can check it online at any time. Old people with Alzheimer's disease will get lost, and there are various body positioning devices on the market. If you are worried that the elderly will lose the positioning device, you can even implant the positioning device into the human body. If Su Mingyu wants to spend more time with his father, he can also spend more time with his father while taking care of his career. Obviously, these are all problems that can be solved with money, but the plot makes Su Mingyu give up his career of making money directly, which is simply puzzling.

So why should Su Mingyu give up her career and give her father full-time pension when everything is fine? This is very interesting.

Judging from the name of the TV series, it is doomed to be a happy ending. Although Su Daqiang, the early "father", opened up a new type of role, which made the audience feel a long-standing social phenomenon, but the film and television works rarely touched on: the death of parents is evil. In a country that advocates filial piety, this has always been a taboo topic. It is precisely because of the extreme phenomenon in Origin and Death that Everything is All Right has aroused widespread concern in the society, triggered numerous heated discussions, and made it the most popular and topical TV series in recent years. However, in the finale, "everything is fine" still needs to return to the mainstream values of society, wash away the Su Daqiang couple and return to the happy ending of loving the father and filial piety.

Finally, Su Daqiang's pension problem was solved at the expense of Su Mingyu's career and future. People feel that screenwriters are deeply malicious and unfair to women. When the family needs it, sons can stay out of it, and daughters are the first to die. Isn't this family core still a feudal family that favors boys over girls? How can I say it?
