Chapter 21 Explanation of the age setting of the main characters
The foreign drama is very long, and many times the screenwriter forgets the previous setting, so there are actually many versions of the age setting of each character. The previous set is used here. Number settings and made individual modifications. The following are setting instructions.
Old Dou Kangershou: 65 years old
Needless to say, the story starts from the first episode of Kang Bo’s 65th birthday party.
Old Mama Wang Yulian: 62 years old
There is not much clear information about Aunt Kang's age. According to Kang Bo's Memoirs and Mooncake Love Series, Aunt Kang should be 20 years old when she got married, while Kang Bo got married at 23. Therefore, Aunt Kang is 3 years younger than Kang Bo, that is, she was 62 years old in 2000.
Big Brother Kang Qiguang: 40 years old
The age of Big Brother Guang is relatively clear. In the second episode, Kang Bo took him to a marriage agency for a blind date and said he was still 1 month away. 40 years old. Episode 35 Aguang Factory wants to fire a group of employees over 40 years old, and Aguang is one of them. So Aguang was born in 1960, and there is a time difference of 1 month between the second episode and his birthday. That is, he was 40 years old in 2000.
In Kang Bo's memoirs, Kang Bo got married at the age of 23, and A Guang was born 15 months later, that is, he gave birth to A Guang at the age of 25. This is also consistent with the setting that Kang Bo is 65 years old and A Guang is 40 years old. Therefore, it is correct for Aguang to be 40 years old.
Sister-in-law Chang Xianglan: 23 years old
Episode 75 During the Spring Festival in 2001, Xianglan told Diana that the Year of the Snake in 2001 was her natal year, and her mother even called her specifically to tell her what to pay attention to.
The years of the Snake are 1965, 1977 and 1989. First exclude 1989. If it was 1965, then Pandan would be 35 years old, which is not consistent. That leaves only 1977. In other words, Pandan was 23 years old in 2000.
As an aside, I don’t know what Kang Bo is dissatisfied with. He is 17 years younger.
Er Lao Kang Qizong: 36 years old
According to Kang Bo’s memoirs, A Zong was born 4 years after A Guang was born, so A Zong was born in 1964, that is, he was 36 years old in 2000 .
Second sister-in-law Su Miaochan: 31 years old
Famous scene in Tianxiu's composition: My mother Su Miaochan was from Chaoshan, forty-eight years old. It was 2001 and Su Miaochan was 32 years old. That means I was 31 years old in 2000 when the story started.
Group favorite Kang Tianxiu: 6 years old
Episode 75 During the Spring Festival in 2001, Tianxiu told Diana that he was born in the year of dog, that is, he was born in 1994, so he should be 6 in 2000 age.
Third brother Kang Qiyao: 32 years old
The age of the third child is the most difficult, and there is basically no clear setting. Only through reasoning.
The boss is 40 years old, the second boss is 36 years old, and the fourth boss is 26 years old. According to this rule, it is estimated that the third child should be 32 years old. In April 2001, Ayao had been re-elected as deputy department for five years, that is, he had been an associate department since 1996. Ayao was a graduate of Pheasant College (in Episode 103, Sachiko said that he was a regular college graduate, while Ayao was a graduate of Pheasant College). A few years are not very valuable. It is quite difficult to get into the minor department when you enter the unit. It is only reasonable to get into the minor department when you are 26-27 years old.
Another point is Zhu Wanling’s age. In episode 18, Master Zhu brings Azu and Wanling together, saying that a senior girl has good hair. That is to say, Wanling is 8 years older than Azu, and Wanling is 34 years old. If A Yao was too young and too different from Wan Ling, Kang Bo would not want Wan Ling to marry A Yao so much.
To sum up, A Yao is set to be 32 years old. Regardless of the age of the brothers in the family, the development of their career, or the age of the person their parents are interested in, it is all relatively reasonable.
Third sister-in-law Hu Xingzi: 28 years old
Xingzi’s age is not clearly stated.
But in episode 83, when Sachiko introduced her cousin to Zhu Shinai’s old lover, she said that her cousin was 2 years older than her. And Zhu Shinai’s old lover is not even 60 but more than 50 years old. Because he went to Hong Kong when he was 20 years old, and then Master Zhu married Wanling's father. At this time, Zhu Shi Nai’s old lover is at least running towards 55.
Introducing a cousin who is two years older than me to a man in his 50s and 60s, is it unreasonable that this cousin is not 30? Sachiko, who is 2 years younger than her cousin, is at least 28 years old.
Fourth brother Kang Qizu: 26 years old
Azu's age is very clear. In episode 6, when they were separated, he said that he would be 26 in a few days. Then in episode 18, it was his birthday. He was born in 1974. It was very clear. In 2000, he was 26 years old.
Fourth sister-in-law Diana: 23 years old
Episode 75 During the Spring Festival of 2001, Diana was born in the year of Snake, that is, in 1977. In 2000, he was 23 years old.
The male protagonist Kang Qirui: 22 years old.
This age is relatively in line with the age gap between the Kang family brothers. Between 4-6 years old.
The heroine Zhu Wanling: 30 years old
The single heroine Ha, a childhood goddess.
Episode 18: Wishes Master to bring Azu and Wanling together, saying that female seniors have great hair. That is to say, Wanling is 8 years older than Azu, and Wanling is 34 years old. But if he is 34 years old, he is too far behind the male protagonist to develop the plot. I agree that this is not in line with the Kang family’s character.
So I changed the setting so that Wanling is 8 years older than the protagonist, which is 30 years old.
