In Little Joy, Christina and Huang Lei play a couple who are more loving than their sister film Little Separation. Jennifer Dong, who has always been strong and capable, not only returned to her family after suffering from a downturn in the workplace, but also became less strong after having a second child. Fiona Fang, played by Huang Lei, is always a crazy person who dotes on his wife, especially after being laid off and returning home. Fiona Fang, who is gentle and considerate and can cook and do housework, will also gently educate her children about how many women want to marry an ideal husband.
However, in "Settle Down", the supporting role Gong Beibei, played by Christina, has some overlap with Fang Jin Si, played by Sun Li, because of buying a house, and also has the opportunity to appear back and forth many times. However, in the context of buying a house, it reflects Gong Beibei's embarrassing marriage situation. It can be said that the obstetrician played by Christina is always a strong woman, but her husband is not as perfect as Fiona Fang. In the latest story, Gong Beibei and her husband had an argument over buying a house. A bitter quarrel exposed her marital status. Her husband asked for a second child, but it didn't help. At the same time, forcing the children to their parents' care makes Gong Beibei's environment for educating and managing his son very bad. He can't educate in his own way, but he must take into account the views and emotions of his in-laws. Her husband didn't understand and didn't support it, which was called widowed marriage by netizens.
In Gong Beibei's family life, we not only saw the familiar figure of Hai Qinghe, the actor who played her husband, but also saw the actor who played the sad woman Fan's mother in Ode to Joy. At that time, that role cast a shadow on the audience, and Gong Beibei's experience was also closely related to the role of this mother-in-law.
The actor, who plays Fan's mother, was impressed because he indulged his son and grandson in Ode to Joy, but mercilessly abused his daughter. This time, he plays the role of Gong Beibei's mother-in-law played by Christina in Settle Down. In Getting Married, Liu Liu gave Fang a role worse than this sadistic mother. This time, the mother who plays Christina's mother-in-law in Anjia, although she has no daughter to abuse, loves her son and grandson as always. This time, she abused her daughter-in-law. Although it is not the kind of greed and abuse that extorts money, it is the cold violence that interferes with the education of daughter-in-law as a mother-in-law and under the pretext of hard help, which has also become an important source of Gong Beibei's marital misfortune.
