(and Gu Tingye ๐)
๐There is value in trials;
๐An extraordinary person is meant for extraordinary places, and you become extraordinary by dedicated learning, patience and consistency (recall Mada Mada & Growth Mindset);
๐It matters who you learn from, but moreso it matters that you have a mind to learn;
๐Have a backbone, a mind of your own and be a person of substance.
๐The right partner is one of the best gifts ever - The fact that Gu Tingye could make his family part of such an intricate and dangerous plan, showed how much he regarded the capability of MingLan and he knew she wouldn't break. Even when he offered her a way out so he could bear everything alone, she refused to budge, what's that saying again? "If we break at this point and separate, when future trials come up, we won't be able to stand"; "A husband and wife are one body - bound together for wheal and woe, till death do dem part".
There is an abundance to this movie, especially for budding ladies and I'm glad I got to sit through it ๐.
Special shout out to Jane for the beautiful recommendation! ๐
