It is precisely because of this strong sense of substitution that it empowers us to be with those girls in a desperate situation and to face life as strong as them. any problems in.
Joe said: "They have minds, they have soul and heart, they have ambition, they have talent and beauty, I hate people saying that women are only suitable for love." She has been breaking the rules, not willing to be bound by marriage, and persistent in pursuit of freedom. She loved to write since she was a child, carrying a pen and paper with her wherever she went, and bravely pursued her dreams when she grew up.
When her childhood sweetheart Lauren proposed to her, facing such a rich and handsome man, she did not get carried away by the temptation, but calmly analyzed the incompatibility between the two characters, firmly rejected her, and placed her refusal on her. The so-called Kangzhuang Avenue in front of him.
Joe's personality is unique and charming, which comes from her home upbringing. Ordinary families with such a large population did not have a good time during the war. They did not have beautiful clothes, sufficient and delicious food, and no pocket money, but these did not affect their enthusiasm for life. They sew their own clothes, perform plays based on stories written by Joe, and confront want and suffering with optimism.
Abby doesn't have pocket money to buy gadgets that are popular among children, and her family will give her money because she doesn't want to hurt her self-esteem because of poverty.

Being rich doesn’t mean you have to learn cumbersome social etiquette, how luxurious clothes to wear, or how delicate jewelry you wear, but to teach children what truth, goodness and beauty are. Each of the girls in this family is unique, they have their own opinions and ideas, and they bravely break the routine and pursue their dreams in an era when women can't make money.
Joe gave up his life of writing in London for his seriously ill sister, and went home to take care of her, hoping that she would get better, but her sister tragically passed away. Before his sister's death, Qiao insisted on writing. In the grief, Qiao burst into inspiration and wrote the story of her family without eating or sleeping, and got the opportunity to publish. The dream that I gave up for my sister was finally realized because of her.

It allows us to see a happy family and shows us the optimism of courage in the face of adversity. Everyone has their own thoughts and personalities, and they are willing to compromise and make concessions for each other. There are no selfish and controlling people in the family, so family members are so close.
They are different, they have their own dreams and favorite lifestyles, they are the same, they all have a kind of stubbornness and willfulness, and they are all so warm and kind. The film does not exaggerate the power of women, but never succumbs to devaluing the values of women. We see the possibility of beauty in different forms, rejecting the possibility of pursuing happiness in the same life.
True Feminine Freedom Not all girls live one look. They can pursue love and regard a happy marriage as a dream, or they can stay unmarried and spend a long time with words. They can work hard for all kinds of dreams and live the life they want. As Meg said: "My ideal is different from yours doesn't mean it's not important."
The times need not only the majestic chanting poems and inspiring battle songs, but also the laughter and the delicate and gentle power wafting from the windows. This group of innocent, kind, enthusiastic and brave girls is like a beating flame, encouraging generation after generation to love life and pursue true happiness.
