《The Ferry Man》E3
lust caution
Xiaoxue, a seemingly ordinary girl, has been ridiculed by others, and even her long-term boyfriend is not interested in her appearance.However, her life changes drastically when she stumbles upon a way to make herself beautiful on the Internet.
This method is to serve the little fox fairy, or in other words, it is a kind of existence that Zhao Li calls medicine.These creatures parasitize the human body and feed on human greed, vanity, and jealousy.In order to become beautiful, Xiaoxue began to live in symbiosis with this medicine, using blood as the price of the contract.She became more and more beautiful and enjoyed unprecedented attention and preferential treatment.However, this beauty does not come without a price.At night, she is a radiant beauty, but during the day, she turns into an old and ugly person.
Xiaoxue's changes attracted the attention of Dongqing and Zhao Li.Official Zhao offered to help her peel off the medicine and restore her to her original appearance.However, Xiaoxue has become addicted to this vain beauty and cannot extricate herself.She abandoned family, love, and friendship just to maintain this short-term beauty.She would rather be the queen of the night than go back to her mediocre life.
Xiaoxue’s story makes us think deeply: Is beauty really that important?Can we abandon everything for the sake of beauty?Xiaoxue's experience tells us that although beauty can bring short-term happiness and satisfaction, real happiness and satisfaction come from inner peace and contentment.When we pursue external beauty too much, we may lose more important things, such as family affection, love, friendship, etc.
In addition, Xiaoxue's story also reminds us that vanity and greed are weaknesses in human nature and can easily be exploited by external temptations.We need to be constantly vigilant, not to be controlled by these weaknesses, but to maintain inner peace and contentment.
Finally, Xiaoxue's story also allows us to see the impermanence and change of life.
