It is not easy to understand "Huo Yuanjia"

I watched this movie for the first time a year ago, and I was impressed by Huo Yuanjia's martial artist spirit and thought it was a very good movie. Looking at it now, what I feel is different from the last time. This time I see a person breaking through himself, letting go of his ego, realizing the Tao, and moving towards a life course of selflessness and selflessness.

In the early stage, Huo Yuanjia regarded his name as more important than his life. Very selfish, very self-centered people, under the control of the ego, are in a tragic state of ruin.

After wandering to Miao Village alone (looks like it), he experienced a period of depression and degeneration. The whole person lived in pain and memories, unable to extricate themselves, unable to find the meaning of self and life, and did not know who he was. However, the simple folk customs, fresh and natural environment of Miao Village, the open-mindedness and wisdom of the villagers, especially the grandma Sun's approach to life, deeply infected Huo Yuanjia. I, feeling the miracle and beauty of life, became enlightened. This part is my favorite part of the whole film. I think of Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", Tao is everywhere, as long as you pay attention to it, you can experience the mystery of Tao, the freedom and happiness that transcend oneself, and experience What is the unity of heaven and man, understand the ignorance of the daily state of human beings. The villagers here have comprehended the essence of Tao to a certain extent, especially Granny Sun, who inspired Huo Yuanjia to realize the impermanence of life and move towards awakening with her speech and behavior. She said that this young man (Huo Yuanjia) will be fine when he wakes up. I think Huo Yuanjia must have felt that he had a dream in which he was trapped to death.

This is a rare film that transcends countries and nations, does not promote hatred and confrontation, and makes people deeply understand the pain caused by selfishness and violence. Hatred can't solve anything, it can only lead people to the abyss step by step, beyond hatred can there be true peace. I think Huo Yuanjia after the epiphany was forgiven by all those who hated him before, and he was also respected and admired by his opponents from all over the world. In fact, the height of the force value at this time is no longer important. Even if Huo loses the game, he will accept everything calmly, and there will never be any dissatisfaction or anger. Rather than saying that Huo's force conquered his opponent, it was his selflessness that conquered his opponent. The benevolent is invincible.

I saw a piece of news today, perhaps old news, that a man killed three neighbors to avenge his mother, and was finally executed, which is very embarrassing. When I was young, I saw my neighbor kill my mother. Later, the forensic doctor dissected my mother's body in front of the villagers, but I couldn't do anything. The seeds of hatred took root in my body. It can be said that hatred controlled this person for the rest of his life. Since then, he has been living in pain, often having nightmares, and his life has not been smooth. Until one day he saw with his own eyes a foreigner kills the people who insulted him one by one on the street, the inner hatred reawakened again, took over everything, and returned to the country to kill the mother-killers of the year one by one.
