If you don't explain it to others, what are you getting married?

When the movie was played to the next day when Gao's father and Gao's mother, who were far away in Taiwan, flew to the American Emperor for breakfast, Tong Wei announced his decision to get married in the afternoon. Gao's father was suddenly taken aback and asked bluntly: What kind of marriage? ! And my mother was persuading me in every possible way.
I wonder why my son finally decided to get married, why are they sad. It has been ten years since his son came to the United States. For his marriage, the two elders have always been remote from thousands of miles away. Now, seeing a satisfied prospective daughter-in-law can fulfill their big wish on the same day, why not be ecstatic? Are you not satisfied with the concerns of this mainland girl, or do you see the flaws in it?
As Wei Tong said:
Didn't you come here to attend our wedding?
If you don't do it today, when will it be delayed?
My marriage certificate has been done and ordered with the city government here. The notarization ceremony will be held at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
Just to match your visit yesterday.

It was not until the best Chinese restaurant in Manhattan that I met Lao Chen, an old subordinate who had driven a jeep for the teacher for 20 years. Lao Chen insisted on holding a wedding banquet for the new couple. The innocent smile of an old child. It turns out that what we owe is a huge scene, do it! happiness! liquor! We need to give people an explanation.
"We received more than 30,000 U.S. dollars as gifts just in Taiwan."
"It's just for your wedding."
"How can we explain to others when we go back like this!
" "

Forgive my lack of knowledge and understanding of life. Forgive me for living in vain for so many years.
Everything is just to give an explanation to others. As for the marriage itself, as for the two people who have entered the marriage, whether they are good-looking or not, whether it is just a show, is not as important as giving others an explanation.
As long as you follow the wishes of your parents, you are filial. China's thousands of years of filial piety culture does not require the essence of filial piety. As long as you can give others an explanation and make outsiders look "obedient", it is the way of great filial piety.

The marriage has been done, the farce has been staged. The vicissitudes of the heart, only you know. One is for the sake of his parents, the other is for the green card and the so-called dream, with the cooperation of so many people, the other is tacitly playing a big lie in a big pomp.
Watching this farce with horror, what if someone accidentally said a wrong word and burst this big soap bubble after drinking too much?
Undoubtedly, this is a group of elites, and no matter how they drink, they can make a lie.

After all, the two elders can return to Taiwan with a satisfied "account". Although, at the end of the play, everyone knew in their hearts that it was just a scam. This teacher, who used to have more than 10,000 soldiers in his hands, ran away from home to join the army because of a marriage, and then went to war of resistance and suppressed bandits. He ran away in a fit of anger, but it was unexpectedly a farewell to his father until the 40th year of the Republic of China. The words that grandfather asked the people from his hometown who fled to his hometown: the hometown is all over. Take root overseas and continue the incense of the Gao family.
This tough man who escaped marriage and who had been in the military all his life is also old now. Perhaps deep in his heart, only when he sees his son and gives birth to a son can he perform the highest filial piety. Although, in the age of chaos, he did not reassure him by being by his father's side, and even before his father passed away, he was not able to perform a day's filial piety in front of the bed. Today, Grandpa Gao, who has been dead for many years, still controls the happiness of the living in the cold grave at the shallow strait. When the grandson arrives, the teacher should be able to close his eyes with peace of mind, go to the spring to meet with his old father, and generally he can give a good explanation.

Chinese people talk about filial piety, which is more about "filial piety" rather than "filial piety".
The old father suffered a heart attack and could leave at any time with a sigh of relief. He couldn't swallow the breath of not holding his grandson, so that the dead could be brought back to life.
He could not bear the burden of his father's regretful death. The teacher who was killed on the battlefield was half-lying and sleeping on the chair as if he had passed away peacefully, so old. That scene should be the moment that prompted him to make up his mind to quickly complete the important task of marriage.

When the old father had a stroke and was admitted to the hospital, outside the ward, he confessed to his mother:
I am afraid that you will not be able to bear
it... For nearly 20 years, I have lived in a big lie. There are many feelings in life, painful and happy, I am good I want to share it with you, but I can't. Sometimes I can't help but want to be honest with you. But I can't bear to put the burden that I have carried for so many years on your shoulders.
Mom! Weiwei and I are in a fake marriage. Simon is my friend.
friend, lover.
Mom, I'm gay.
Simon is my love. We have lived together for five years.
Mom, it's not easy for gay people to get along in every way and make do with each other. So Simon and I cherish each other very much. Look at the so-called normal couples among our friends, who quarrel and divorce. How many couples can get along as well as Simon and I? How can you say that he has broken me?
In fact, I have to let my father hold the grandson to cope with these blind dates that you arranged for me. I will be very happy.

What a lot of courage!
With his love and trust in his parents, he told the truth. The true sense of filial piety should be at this moment. Let go of all concerns, and the person closest to the world has spoken a truth.
The kind old mother asked in tears: Weiwei... Is Weiwei's child yours?

This big lie, after all, he mustered up the courage to pierce it. However, put on the cloak of filial piety, no matter how big a lie is, it seems insignificant. It is truly heartbreaking that the only, beloved, son, mustered the courage to tell the truth, that this mother, first of all, did not think of: Son, all these years of pain in your heart, how has this journey been? One person carried it.

You don't care if I'm happy at all, but you bring me into this world for granted.
You just want the incense to continue. The only meaning of my existence is to let you see, and my grandson. . .
We live, but we have to give others an account.
