The 1957 World War II-themed film "The Bridge of the River Kwai", which won seven Oscars that year, was all the rage. The film portrays the stubborn and principled British Colonel Nicholson, the American officer Schells who cherishes freedom and advocates equality, and the Japanese officer Saito who advocates the spirit of Bushido but is full of humanity. Although there are various shortcomings in the production of the film itself, the flaws do not hide the flaws. It is precisely because of its fascinating plot setting and role-playing, and it inherently shows and compares various national characteristics, which is thought-provoking, such as: the American nation , cherishes life, loves freedom, and has a spirit of thorough resistance; the Japanese nation is loyal and Bushido spirit; the British nation is efficient, cooperative, but sticks to principles, and sticks to the rules. Seeing the virtuous and thinking together, seeing the virtuous and introspecting. In my country, the earliest debate on national character appeared after the end of the Qing Dynasty and during the period of the Republic of China. At that time, there were some famous figures, such as Zhang Taiyan, Liang Qichao, and later Lu Xun, a cadre in the New Culture Movement. nationality. For example, Lu Xun wrote a novel "Medicine", which shows the ignorant Chinese people taking the blood of the martyrs and treating their children with blood-stained steamed buns. Another example is "Xianglin's Wife", "The True Story of Ah Q" and so on. The Chinese people described here are submissive, spiritually victorious, ignorant and backward, but can such national character really sum up our Chinese national character? Today, when we look at the national character of other nations from the perspective of appreciation, we also find that the national character of these nations is not perfect. For example, Colonel Nicholson, who blindly sticks to the principles, is actually not wrong to stick to the principles and rules, but if they stick to the principles and rules, they will eventually be indistinguishable from right and wrong, and the black and white will be reversed, and they will become the "traitors" often declared in anti-Japanese dramas. ". Of course, the situation of Colonel Nicholson is somewhat different, and he will be called a "British traitor"; in this regard, the Colonel's subjective thinking may be different from the objective facts, and the Colonel will argue: We need to let the little Japan experience the high nationalities. Efficiency, even if we are captured, we can build bridges a hundred times better than theirs, and we will shame them with our efficient cooperation. This is the spirit of a nation. They are arrogant, good-faced, polite, educated, and gentlemen, but they are also captives. The losers and winners speak principles and rules, which Saito cannot understand. Saito's thinking, isn't it represented in our country today? We have also endured the shortcomings of Chinese people who do not queue, do not follow rules, and love to affirm or deny anything with their personal moral preferences. But, more than 70 years ago, weren't the British talking about principles and rules to the Japanese? The city of Rome was not built in a day. The development of anything is a process. In fact, we can look at the entire history of China and find more arguments from it to prove that China's current national character does not represent the real Chinese national character. We say this for every reason. Huo Qubing drove the Huns out of Mobei, and the Huns moved westward to Hungary; in the prosperous times of Zhenguan, more than 200,000 foreigners lived in Chang'an and did not want to go home; the Song Dynasty was so wealthy that it could not wait to take all the GDP of the world. They all belonged to themselves; Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty went to the West seven times, and a foreign envoy could actually destroy a country, which is evident in the national strength of the Ming Dynasty. However, it was only later that the Ming Dynasty government failed to live up to its expectations, and the latter who was in a culturally disadvantaged position got cheap, which directly led to the tortuous course of our national character change. calendar History makes no assumptions unless time can be reversed. Decades have passed, and not only China has undergone earth-shaking changes, but major countries in the world such as the United States and the United Kingdom have undergone profound changes. It is worth mentioning here the beautiful country of Thailand. In "The Bridge on the River Kwai", Schells and Major Walden ended up in Thai villagers (the word "Thai people" was originally intended to be used, but considering the accuracy, "Thai villagers" was used, which better reflects Thailand With the help of the kindness and simplicity of people), the task of bombing the bridge was completed. So, outside of mainstream movie reviews, I would like to say a few words for these brave and beautiful modest Thai girls and Thai guys. Thailand is a Buddhist country. The modesty and kindness of the Buddha not only guides his followers, but also shapes the national character of Thailand. In recent years, Chinese people have gone to Thailand to travel, but they have not learned well. They always like to make some big news, take big photos and videos with shemales, put them on the Internet, and let netizens scold them! This is very bad. I say this may affect the GDP of shemales, but I still hope that we can love a nation from the bottom of our hearts when we understand the history, instead of entertaining with a joke and disrespect. , to entertain a nation. 70 years ago, Japan's fish was eaten in Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia. Many countries were also affected, and developed countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Australia, and the United States were also affected. Today, there are still a lot of literary and artistic works on the subject of World War II. When we are telling that history, we may tell many tragic stories; but when we jump out of the position of a enslaved nation, stand on a cosmopolitan stand, and be objective When it comes to expressing that period of history in a fair and artistic manner, I think it is a process. When this process is achieved, our Chinese dream will not be far away. (WeChat Public Account: Ai Lian Shi Jian) There has never been a good war, nor a bad peace - Franklin Nationality of Thailand.
