"Quoc sac phuong hoa" is not just a simple entertainment film project. In each episode, each journey the main character goes through leaves the audience with many stories worth pondering.
In the latest episodes of the show, the scene where Duong Tu's Ha Duy Phuong returns home attracts attention.
Ha Duy Phuong successfully divorced and returned home, but discovered that her father had changed. She was abandoned by her own father. Instead of begging her father to take her back, she decided to cut off all ties with her family.
This detail caught the attention of viewers. Usually in a historical project, the female lead is always known as a feminine girl who maintains family rules. But perhaps Ha Duy Phuong of Duong Tu is a rather special character. She has a strong spirit and likes to embark on her journey alone. Therefore, with a traitor, even if it is a family relationship, she can still let go.
It is worth noting that in feudal society, women were often heavily oppressed by the power of their fathers and husbands. However, Ha Duy Phuong dared to stand up against this: the arrangement, the male superiority over female...
In the scene going to Truong An, Ha Duy Phuong received help from hidden women including Ngu Nuong.
On the contrary, the men who appeared to want to help her had other intentions. The man she sought out to take her to Chang'an, she had to pay for his help. And the man surnamed Wang, who took her in and gave her a job, had bad intentions and wanted to possess her.
This is a very interesting subtext. It shows the contrast in the way men and women were treated in the old society.
Women are sympathetic and help each other unconditionally, while men - even though they are macho men, who are treated more favorably than women, are the stronger sex, but when a girl wants to ask for help, they have to pay a lot of prices.
In this scene, the director and crew exposed the face of feudal society - a place that oppressed and imprisoned women's freedom.
And more than anyone else, Duong Tu's character Ha Duy Phuong is the embodiment of the burning aspirations and dreams of women in feudal society. They want to rise up and escape the chains that bind them to the 12 words "at home, obey your father, when married, obey your husband, when your husband dies, obey your son".
