It was several years ago. Downstairs of my house, where the residents played cards and chatted every day, an old aunt, about 60 years old, dressed in a village dress, stood under the shade of a roadside tree 15 meters away from everyone, and began to chant. The accent is very heavy. We are all locals, and we all speak dialects, but we can't understand what she is saying. We only know by intuition that it is related to prescriptions and traditional Chinese medicine. She kept reading and no one paid attention to her. Some uncles and aunts couldn't bear the curiosity, so they asked her what she read and what she did. Only then did she know that she was selling herbs, and that she had picked herbs from the Chengshan Mountain in Xiangyang, and took the bus across the city to sell them in the suburbs of Fancheng. That feeling, for a moment, was like returning to the ancient times, like encountering an antique thing inconceivably. Of course no one will buy it. Don't say that no one would buy such herbs, even if they heard it, they couldn't understand what she was reading. I guess what people have in mind is the same thing. I wonder where her family is, what she is doing, how many people she has, how much money she makes, why she sells herbs, and whether she has ever sold it successfully. Of course, I may be the only one who thinks this way. Anyway, I didn't ask, and no one else asked. Asked to no avail. At that time, I just came home from the army, and I was quite free. I just sat downstairs and watched people play cards and mahjong. No one paid any attention to her, she just shouted and chanted for several hours, not knowing whether her mouth was dry or not. I remember it seemed that I gave her five dollars in the end, so that she would not lose money by taking the bus back, or maybe she didn't give it, I can't remember exactly, this thought must have been there, I hope I gave it, but maybe not Give. Whether it is given or not, it may not matter. They are all people from the bottom. Some people are lucky enough to have a job, and some people can't find a way to work hard. Who can save who? The capitalists and the rich second-generation often cost hundreds of thousands or millions, but most of them have never kindly helped a few people. They walked around from childhood to adulthood. Think about how society has always been like this from ancient times to the present, and each has its own destiny. . I thought of the beggar grandmother who would help every time I went to the Nanjing Confucius Temple. In such a cold day, I don’t know if she can handle it or not, and if she has a place to stay at night. The last time I gave her clothes, I always felt that she was reluctant to wear them, and I don't know why. I watched Zhao Ting's "A Land of Nowhere" today. It is very famous in the film industry. After winning an award, it may be an Oscar later. Everyone has to watch it. I feel that the film industry is like homework. KPIs. This film talks about the heroine being homeless, but the heroine emphasizes that she is homeless, not homeless. What's the meaning? She didn't say either. Maybe I want to say that home is the spirit, and the house is only the material. The American economy was depressed, the hostess lost her job, lost everything, and her husband died of illness. The hostess bought a small RV, wandered around, did odd jobs, made friends with other RV families, lived in groups, and divided open. Stop and go along the way, life is like a reverse journey, on the road alone. I feel that the poor in the United States can still enjoy various subsistence allowances, even if they are homeless, they will not starve to death. She is much better than begging. She is in her 60s and 70s. No matter where she goes, she can occasionally find a temporary job, retire and subsistence allowances, have an RV, and church relief. The RV is unlikely to be popular in China, and the poor will never buy a car. But she lost her husband, had no children, and had no money, so she wandered alone on the vast plains of the United States, like a new form of western cowboy, quiet and lonely, sometimes magnificent, sometimes sad and crying, which is also quite emotional. Although I am young, I often have this feeling. After all, I was also sent to someone else’s house the day I was born. I was a child without a support, a teenager who fled around in many disasters, and graduated from college and went to the army, and I often obeyed orders to run around. This wandering and helpless life is also my sad background. Some people start wandering in their 60s and 70s, and some people start wandering at birth. I don't know who is more unfortunate. I have developed a habit, even if I can stay well, I will deliberately go out to travel, as if I can't stay and have no home. I still often feel homeless, and I often have the feeling of being alone on the road. Although I haven’t traveled much in the past two years, I don’t think I have a real ideal home. I feel that if life were to be condensed into one word, it would be floating for me. So the theme of this movie is actually quite suitable for me, and sometimes I quite understand some other people I met on the road. In this film, the heroine also meets many people, but they are not like traditional road movies. They are here to save or inspire the heroine. On the contrary, each of them has their own stories and difficulties. Poverty, aging, loss of a loved one, cancer, everyone has a very sad background. But they really help each other, that is the kind of poor people who really know how to love and help each other. It's really beautiful. It seems like I haven't had this sense of belonging and the opportunity to help people in a long time. In recent years, I have been reading and writing, surfing the Internet, and haven't seen strangers for a long time. It may be an illusion. In the past two years, I always thought that I should see it all. I have experienced almost all emotions. The world can no longer give me much new experience, and there is not much I want to ask for. What am I going to do with the rest of my life? I'm tired of watching movies. 3,000 good movies are not many, but they are enough. The only thing I don't understand, and what surprises me, is the knowledge in the book. In the past two years, I have also learned a lot of knowledge, read a lot of epigrams, and even wrote it myself. Unfortunately, many do not. The inner affairs of the universe must be responsible, And get rid of. The filth is the flies and gnats, and the fragrance is the cross-invasion of bees and butterflies. Therefore, a gentleman does not do dirty work, nor does he establish a reputation. It's just that the vitality is undisturbed, and it doesn't show its edge. Hope to do it in the future. But back to the topic, today's "A Land of Nowhere" doesn't feel like it really pokes me. Sometimes it's just weird, it looks like it's telling your story, the protagonist is experiencing your emotions, but you just don't catch a cold, and you don't know why. Perhaps because the protagonist and the environment are both old and beautiful, they are still very unfamiliar with the United States. If Jia Zhangke made a Chinese "No Country", I might like it. But Jia Zhangke can't make it, and he will be scolded when he does it. China is already prosperous and powerful. Why do you insist on making such a story about the poor? You are not patriotic - such comments are indispensable. Most of the public's comments and discussions on the movie "A Land of Nowhere" are that this movie won an award, and this movie will soon win an Oscar. The director of this movie is Chinese, and is the stepdaughter of Song Dandan, who will win glory for Chinese women. The heroine is Mrs. Keen, how did Mrs. Keen choose the script, then found the director Zhao Ting, and then Bole invested in Maxima, and then how to make and shoot. Surrounding gossip, never stop, do not repeat. As for the poor, they will certainly continue to suffer. Some people always say that art is life. In fact, more and more people think that art is art and life is life. Who can really save who. Only wandering souls will meet on the road. There are also some descriptions of stars in the universe in "Nowhere". Of course, people who are lonely and wandering love the most stars. Jupiter is talked about alone in the movie. People hold the starlight, and it feels as if they are holding particles from the distant universe. I also like to stand alone under the starlight, and feel that I am a transit station for the Henggu starlight. There are only 20,000 dusks in the world, the moon surrounds the earth, the earth surrounds the sun, and the sun surrounds the Milky Way. Human beings can choose to revolve around their desires, or they can choose to accompany the universe on a journey that does not require many words. "No Country" is very anti-type, there is no plot, and there is no spoiler. I hope you have seen it, and you may understand what I am talking about better. It doesn't matter if you haven't seen it. At the end of the film, the heroine finally figured out that she is in the RV, and the RV is home. She can go on the road alone. She has many opportunities to settle down, find a job, retire, and find a house again, but she has come to terms with being alone and on the road. She is looking forward to the front and the end of the road, to meet her husband again, because in this world, "there is no absolute goodbye", and life is just a journey and memories. If people can have such awareness and courage in old age, they may be able to die in peace. Finally, do so many people really care if this movie can win an Oscar? It's better to care about the people in your neighborhood who need help - I'd love to say that, but I think it's too harsh and too messy. Whatever, life is life, movies are movies, one-legged thieves, millionaires, crawling and rolling, good people are hard to find, old people have no one to depend on, there are so many things wrong, three thousand worlds, in fact, the whole planet is a place without a place to rely on, maybe life It is a death and destruction in the ruthless universe.
