The character that impressed me most about Ip Man is not the protagonist Ip Man, but Li Zhao. Yes, just an ordinary person. In the beginning, Li Zhao was a policeman. Here, I think he represents an ordinary egoism in the system. He contains what all of us should be. He is not a perfect person, and even has many shortcomings. At the beginning of the teahouse, he appeared for the first time, arrogantly intimidating Ye Wen with a gun, I think it represents the arrogance of modern technology over traditional culture. At this time, he was full of arrogance and disdain for Ye Wen and Chinese martial arts. Doesn't this just represent the mentality of our modern people? They think that the progress of science and technology can replace the cultural heritage, but they do not know that the depth of scientific and technological progress is still determined by culture.
The second time he appeared was Jinshan looking for a fight with Ye Wen. After the competition, Li Zhao was impressed by the kung fu displayed by Ye Wen, so he admired Ye Wen very much. I think it was Ye Wen's profound kung fu that conquered Li Zhao. It might be better to say that on the spiritual level, that kind of tolerance, that kind of indisputable contention, conquered Li Zhao. From this moment, Li Zhao woke up. With the start of Japan's war of aggression against China, Li Zhao, Ye Wen, Jin Shanzhao, and Qingquan, everyone's fate was disrupted again, and they also embarked on different paths in the war. Ye Wen and Qingquan continued to run the factory, but still adhered to the idea of saving the country rationally and saving the country. Compared with Li Zhao, their characters were naturally much taller. And Jinshan simply acted as a bandit and robbed his house. This is also quite in line with the character's original character, or his background, that is, to survive in this turbulent world, he relies on his kung fu and ability. . And let's look at Li Zhao in turn. He doesn't have the ideological awareness of Ye Wen and He Qingquan, and he doesn't have the same personal ability as the Golden Triangle. To survive in this troubled world, he can only do Japanese translation. The hat of the traitor, between life and death, seems insignificant, as light as a feather. But he is not reconciled, otherwise this character will not be sublimated in the end. In the end, he took advantage of the chaos to break the leg of the Japanese officer, venting his pent-up dissatisfaction, but this was not just a personal dissatisfaction, but a cry that represented the resistance of the entire nation.
I really don't understand why some people say that Ye Wen always uses beating foreigners to show his national sentiments, what we want to see is not only the so-called pleasure of beating foreigners on the surface, but more to understand the film The spirit of the nation rising up in China is what Ip Man's series wants to tell us, and this spirit is definitely not the so-called populism. I still believe that every era, even the era we live in, still needs more people like Li Zhao. Maybe we are ordinary, but we are not mediocre. Before the big right and wrong, we can cry out bravely.
The above article, everyone encourages.
