I remember that in a special reading salon, there was a special event to discuss the stage play, and the topics discussed that day ranged from the Japanese Takarazuka Theater Company's "Elizabeth - The Wheel Dance of Love and Death" to the controversial British dramatist Sarah Kane to the drama "Three Kingdoms" directed by Lin Yihua.
This time, only three people were arranged to explain separately. Of course, this also includes Cat Super. Because I am an iron fan of the Takarazuka Troupe, and I fell in love with this troupe because of the musical "Elizabeth - The Wheel Dance of Love and Death". Since I first watched it five years ago, many of the lines have been deeply imprinted in my heart. It's not so much the lines and melody that move me, but rather that I see my own shadow in the characters in the play.
The famous male servant of the Japanese Takarazuka Theater Company, Ziyue Asahi, starred in the role of "Death" in the play
"Life is short, don't waste it!" So I hate those pretentious relatives! This is a line from Maximilian, Duke of Bavaria, the father of Princess Sissi, shortly after the opening. He was cheerful and uninhibited, loved art, loved nature, and disliked the tedious etiquette of the nobility. Of course, Princess Sissi's personality is very much like this freedom-loving father. Princess Sisi's freedom-seeking, unrestrained personality became the reason why she later felt depressed in the Habsburg court.
"This eye pupil burns my heart, and the look pierces me, and even the breath grasps me tightly, melting my cold heart..." This is the line of death when he first saw Princess Sissi. When Princess Sissi arrives in the World of Death due to an accident, she does not show much fear, but shouts at Death, "I want to go home!" "I think that such a life-full of vitality of the maiden Death God has never been seen before, otherwise why would she have such a positive affection for Xi Qiangong." He promised her to return to earth and continue her life, as long as the living Princess Sissi fell in love with him, and then, took her away.
Is this kind of love great?
"Time gives birth to buds called love." In the opera, Princess Sissi falls in love with the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph at first sight, as does the real history. Although the small sparks of love at that time collided with surprise and envy, the tragedy of their marriage also planted the seeds.
Sometimes I wonder, can love really solve all the problems in life?

"I don't belong to anyone, I belong only to myself!" Oppressed in the court, she wanted to rely on her husband's arms to get through the difficulties, but Sissi could not wait for such a strong force to protect her. After being sad, Sissi finally sang "I will always belong to myself"!
Sometimes, we want to be ourselves, but we can't. Some people say that because there are too many external constraints. But I feel that if you want to be yourself but can't do it, then there are only two reasons: one is that you don't know what kind of person you want to be; the other is that you don't want to be the you in your mind.
Living in this world, we really need the courage to be ourselves and complete ourselves. Proper compromises can be made, but don't be one of the murky seas of people.
"The only thing I can rely on in my life is myself!" Sissi's line is the same truth in today's society. What you can really rely on in your own life is yourself. Some people say that you can change your destiny by getting married, but in fact, getting married doesn't change anything. When there is love, he takes good care of you, and you are extremely tender to him; when there is no love, the two hate each other like black-eyed chickens, and they are eager to tear each other apart. Don't have such a marriage. To love others, first love yourself. Therefore, the most important thing is to do a good job, and it is the most reliable to rely on yourself.
After Princess Sissi died, she returned to her maiden form. After experiencing pain, laughter, disappointment, and tears, she finally accepted the love of death and flew to the other shore of eternity
But will you really not betray yourself? Can you really love yourself completely?
The question is too profound. At that time, I discussed it for half a day in the salon, and no one could give an explanation that could convince others. Or, or perhaps, many of life's problems cannot be answered in the first place. We don't want the ultimate answer, because the so-called standard answer is a constraint on the mind. Life is either let go or it is let go. Theories and dogmas, after all, are not what we want.
"Leave behind all the mundane and fly to the eternal world." Late one night, Death came to the lonely Princess Sissi, whispering softly beside her, eager to take her away from the oppressive and stale Habsburg court. But what Death gets is Sissi's "I'll never run away" struggle.
Sissi's stubbornness undoubtedly touched the heart of death, but his love for her did not diminish in the slightest. However, he turned that hatred to the Habsburgs.
"Is death in love with a person, or is it a person who falls in love with death?"
"As long as I live, I will be free!" Princess Sissi said to Death—I said the same thing to The Cat Teacher. Yes, how precious freedom is! Wasn't the original choice to make yourself a little freer? Even though the result of this choice made me feel very tired, I still didn't regret my choice when I thought of freedom.
The meaning of Princess Sissi's life is that she is to dominate her life and to be free while she is alive. But is she truly free? If so, then she wouldn't have painfully said that she had been wandering in loneliness.
As Queen Elizabeth, her duty and duty is to remain beautiful and to show her national prestige to other countries. Does her husband really understand her? The poems she wrote, had he ever read carefully? In order to maintain her beauty and slimness, she plays strict sports every day and diets. When Princess Sisi fell down exhausted, Death ruthlessly took out a photo of His Majesty the Emperor's private meeting with her lover,—— Princess Sisi had always been convinced that the Emperor would not do anything to sorry her, and that she would maintain her beauty for him, even in a way that would damage her health.
Thinking about how many women in the world have also wishfully believed that their lover has always loved himself, even if he really does something sorry for her, it is also out of a kind of helplessness. Death ruthlessly reveals all this, and this is precisely his sentient being—he just wants Sissi to wake up in time and not to bind his free heart in the so-called love that has died in name only.
But Princess Sisi dropped a sentence, "My soul has been closed to him." The sins he committed were the beginning of my freedom. How many women who are hurt and hated by love also drop such a sentence in the end, but is their heart really closed to the person who hurt her?
After years of wandering, the exhausted Princess Sissi finally gained her freedom in death. After her death, Sissi changed into the appearance of a girl, I have shed tears, laughter, sorrow, pain, and searched the long road of life, even if all things die, I will always have your endless love. ”
In the end, she was still free in the arms of the god of death.
Princess Sisi of the Girls' Generation, starring Hana Zong Truth (98 Zeus Group). Unlike her sister, who was preparing to marry Emperor Joseph, Princess Sissi was lively and innocent, unpretentious, but it was her freedom-seeking personality that made her incompatible with the serious and stereotypical royal life.
It can be seen that true love must not become a kind of bondage and bondage, true love is to give the other party freedom - so that the ta can be himself, and you still love the true TA.
My friend said that loving and being loved are both happy and full of life, but thirst for love is not. That's a lack. He who thirsts for love will selfishly deprive others of their freedom and take possession of everything for themselves. I think this is the best footnote to this cabaret.
