Love Should Not be Separated, a Thought From Film Little Evil

In China, many young male adults work in the big city and leave their wives in the small village. These women are known as left-home wives, who are responsible for raising children and taking care their parents in-law. Some people may hold a view that these men left their wives behind because their earnings could not support a whole family to live in a big city. However, I have different opinions that these men do not care and respect their wives.

First of all, they do not care their wive. Many couples live together and both work in the city at first, but their wives would be sent home if they get pregnant with the excuse that they can’t take care of their wives while they are working and they can’t support their pregnant wife live in a city without working. They think their parents can take care the pregnant women. However, in the most of cases, the truth is that after being sent home, these women are responsible for taking care their old parents in law. Pregnant women need to do almost all the housing, such as cooking, cleaning, and so on. What’s worse, some may need to work in the field like growing wheat (poor village doesn’t have mechanized agriculture). These women usually deliver their child without the company of their husband. Another aspect is that, these hardworking men do not really working hard to support their family. Some people just moving around the cities and change their jobs frequently.

Secondly, these husbands do not know how to respect their wives. The left-home wife is responsible for almost everything at home. The wives have to grow their children alone and take care her parents in law. Wives are not free maids, but most of the men do not understand that. In their opinion, wife should always be responsible for taking everything at home, and the husband only needs to work and earn money. Couples should take care children and parents together in order to build a respective relationship. If they can, women would like to work in the city and let the husband take care the whole family in the rural village. So, leaving the wife behind to bear all the responsibilities is not respective to the wife at all.    

People may argue that living in the big city is too expensive. However, if the husband can work and support himself in the city, then the wife can do so too. The primary education in the city is free for everyone, so there is no worry about the education of their children. In real life, many factories will offer housing for couples, so housing should not be a problem either. In the film Little Evil, the protagonist’s stepson is the portal of Satan who tried to kill him, and everyone knows about the child tried to persuade the protagonist to kill the child in order to save the protagonist and the world, but the love to his wife stopped him from doing that. The protagonist determined to live with the little evil with the risk of his own life and his love to his wife and stepson finally saved the child and the world. If the husband really love and care his wife, there should not be any reason to live apart except for the special army mission or other missions.

After dealing with the housing, food, and education problem, the last problem is that the husband’s old parents need to be taken care. Consequently, the husband will send his wife home will different excuse in order to take care the old. To conclude, in the most of cases, the left-home wife has a selfish husband. If they really love each other, they should not live apart.
