In the movie Lost, Found, lawyer Li Jie (Yao Chen) is fighting for the custody of her daughter with her ex-husband during the divorce, working hard to give the child the best life. Fortunately, the babysitter Sun Fang (Ma Yili) helps take care of the child as if she were her own child. One day after work, Li Jie found that the babysitter Sun Fang and her daughter disappeared without any message. In pursuit of the whereabouts of Sun Fang and her daughter, she received condemnation from her family and was even suspected by the police. Li Jie, who had almost collapsed, relied on amazing courage to embark on a journey of seeking her daughter alone. In the process of tracking, Li Jie gradually approached the life story of his nanny Sun Fang, her identity was originally a lie, and the truth also surfaced.
It turns out that this is all Sun Fang’s revenge, her daughter was struggling with a deadly disease that demands a liver transplantation. However, her husband was not willing to save his own child, he even refused to do the transplantation zygosity. Sun Fang was so desperate, she does multiple jobs, and eat the leftovers of others to save money, in order to give her daughter the treatment that she needs. But it is still not enough, she can’t afford the medical expenses, and eventually was forced out of the hospital due to arrears of too many medical costs. And at the same times, Li Jie came to the hospital and her daughter was placed into the same ward and exactly the same bed as Sun Fang’s daughter. Sun Fang then went home with her daughter, however, her eventually left her on a stormy night. The pain of her daughter’s death, the pressure of life, her failed marriage, all of the disappointment and misery had crushed her. She used a fake identity to approach Li Jie and eventually took her daughter as if her daughter still alive.
The third mother in this movie is Zhu Min, the ex-wife of a client of Li Jie’s divorce case, and she is also fighting for the custody of her children. Her education level is not low, but in order to take care of children and families, she has not been working after marriage. Her husband, who is known as “Mr. Wang”, has no worries for his family, and his career has developed very well. However, he had an affair and cheated on her. Zhu Min doesn’t want anything, she only wants her child, but her situation is clearly at a disadvantage, and she even ran to her husband’s attorney Li Jie to beg her. Seeing that the she clearly can’t win the case, she was desperate and committed a suicide.
The plight of Chinese women stems in part from the inability of women to understand and treat each other with kindness. Just like the nanny, her misfortune is mainly because she married the wrong person, but she did not dare to resist men, so she laid hands on li jie, the so-called revenge li jie, is actually one of her emotional export, can not fight “strong”, revenge on others. Just like li jie’s mother-in-law in the movie, as a mother, she should understand li jie’s difficulties best, but she does not blame her son for not doing his father’s duty, but blame li jie for breaking up a family, she even tried to take away her daughter.
Chinese people we say every day, why women are hard on woman, the reality is the upper generation woman that is suppressed by the man all one’s life however, continue the misery and begin to be hard on the next generation which is their daughter in law just like what Li Jie’s mother in law.
