The mature age love observation reality show "Half-Mature Lovers 4" launched by Tencent Video is currently on the air. The program uses a "defiltered" emotional experiment to explore the truth about the lives of contemporary adults. The guests are no longer the "love specimens" that are stared at, but the "slice of life" carrying career confusion, self-reconstruction and emotional choices. They used 30+ sober and confusion to interpret a multi-dimensional narrative about growth - love is no longer the only main line, friendship is no longer a footnote, and self-realization is not a distant narration.

The reality show "Half-Mature Lovers 4" is currently on the air.

　　Polyphonic narrative of love, friendship and self-growth

　　The love line of "Half-Mature Lovers 4" is an emotional apocalypse for adults. In the program, there are public concerns about "sustainability" behind Hou Chengjie's "textbook-style pursuit of love", and Hu Yunting's "avoidance attachment" when facing his heart-warming - he admitted that the trauma of his original family and the cowardice in love, and tried to break the cycle under Liang Tian's tolerance. These plots are no longer the perfect answers to idol dramas, but are contradictory "problem solving processes". As Du Sujuan said: "Adults should not be angry when they fall in love, but should return to the root of the problem." This question of the essence of emotions has upgraded love from a binary judgment of "whether it is successful" to a life issue of "how to face it".

　　"Even if you don't gain love in love, you can gain friendship." Just as Lu Hu sighed, the friendship this season is particularly strong. The 11 amateur guests formed a healing group and steadily caught every soul. Whether it is the hug on New Year's Eve or the night chat between girls, the program constructs a "nearby" that allows the audience to see the preciousness and beauty of adult friendship: when Xia Mengting walked towards Luo Junfan again with encouragement, the barrage is no longer a mockery of the "love brain", but an empathy for women to help each other; after everyone collectively celebrated their birthday for "big brother" Zhang Chenxi, Hou Chengjie borrowed classic lines to express his feelings, which is also a different footnote to the program - "I have no friends here, only family."

　　30+ love is not a single choice question, but a multi-choice question that is parallel to career, friendship, and self-realization. Hu Yunting gradually realized that his view of love was not mature enough, and reflected on whether it was worth deleting the bad ones while deleting the good ones; Zheng Weiying and Wan Xiao had to cross not only the region, but also the past. Because of this, the saying "The high-speed rail ticket to Beijing on Friday" was so touching. This change from Esports Extra to exploring inward makes the show transcend the narrow narrative of love and become a record of self-growth.

　　From "witnessing love" to "observing life"

　　"Half-Mature Lovers 4" abandons traffic codes such as "CP speed matching" and "Shura Field" and chooses a more adventurous creative idea: it allows Hou Chengjie to refuse the invitation of "safety card" Zheng Weiying, waiting for Ren Jiabi to knock on the door; allows Liang Tian to repeatedly hesitate between Su Yonghao and Hu Yunting, who have different personalities; even retains Luo Junfan's clumsiness of "error demonstration" - his escape contrasts with Xia Mengting's straight ball. Behind this "anti-routine" is the respect for the true human nature. The program does not create "industrial saccharin", but instead makes the heartbeat and embarrassment, courage and retreat naturally appear.

　　The program’s breakthrough in traditional love love also shows the consensus of “love is not life KPI” of the current 30+ people through group portraits. When the guests share their career choices, the audience sees not only the possibility of love, but also the possibility of life. Finally, Zhang Chenxi gave up confession and left alone because the changes and breakthroughs he wanted to achieve had been achieved, and there was no regret. Yan Xing also left the cottage with the friendship of gain and embarked on a new journey... Even in love, love is not a necessary option, and the answer to happiness is diverse.

　　In addition, Zheng Weiying's unconscious belittlement of herself when she talked about her previous marriage and the identity of a single mother shows the mental pressure of social prejudice on women who have married and children, and also provides another cognition - single mothers should be brave, free and independent. Like single women without children, they have legitimate and equal rights to fall in love. Such a diverse perspective allows Lianzong to complete the leap from "witnessing love" to "exploring life" from another dimension.

　　"Semi-Maturity Lovers 4" tells the audience that "Semi-Maturity" is not a flaw, but the most abundant state of life - having enough sober to face the roughness of life, and maintaining the innocence to believe in the warmth of emotions. The guests used hesitation, self-reflection and breakthrough to provide us with a precious "map": besides love, standard answers, and secular expectations, everyone can find their own and steaming way of living.
