One of the members of the Cowards League in the Statistics Bureau, Anadori, is a middle-aged bachelor who wears old sliding glasses, natural eyes, and a mustache covering his upper lip, the father of two naughty boys. He was afraid of female leaders to the point of stuttering.
This is the protagonist of this office story. Two people in their 30s and 40s, the background is a dull office in the Soviet Union, dealing with complicated data. One is a bitter girl who was abandoned by her friends and her boyfriend, suffered a double blow and stopped falling in love (this is very common, see Huang Xiaoxian for a recent example of a movie character), the other is the bitterness in her pocket and the lack of efficiency and accuracy. Taihang's small staff, how romantic?
This film doesn't have anything earth-shattering, noisy and lively, just a very plain story, talking about an office romance full of helplessness in seriousness.
If it was a film that came out thirty years later, the official translation would probably become an office romance. Although it's not really romantic, there are two paragraphs in the middle that are quite noisy.
Since it is not romantic, the highlight of this romance is that it embraces the truth. Perhaps because I am a pessimist, I feel that there is an undercurrent of helplessness and sadness in the story from time to time.
The characters in the story are like people around us. Perhaps the successful man who passed by at the intersection with the flashing traffic lights in the early morning was someone like Yuri, the second male, rich, middle-aged and handsome, with a good sense of himself, but with a small abacus and the courage to betray his friends behind his back. Or an impetuous woman with a big shoulder and a round waist, like Sister Shula, who raises money all day in the office, kills the living, with a mouth bigger than a sea bowl, and louder than a sparrow. Or the little secretary of Vera, who revolves around fashion and her ex-boyfriend all day, just an ordinary office girl with a simple mind but a happy life? Otherwise, maybe it was Oria who suddenly found out that he still liked Yuri many years later, so after being completely betrayed by Yuri, he changed from a brisk optimist to an unfortunate woman with a sad look? ...
Aunt Lyudmila finally took Uncle Anandori's hand and said goodbye to Lonely End, and I seemed to see my future from her in the early days.
Maybe going to study accounting, maybe going to be an accountant. Doing a boring job that I'm not good at, not wearing powder, day after day, year after year, will I become an old aunt who is an employee rather than a leader?
Lyudmila is still given a bouquet of red flowers, what should I do in the future to kill my youthful office career? Small sigh.
