Reason for suicide and redemption

Emory 2022-04-24 07:01:24

If a person wants to ask others to help him die, there is no reason. Human beings are full of curiosity about the reason for a person’s suicide. Look at the most frequently asked question in the comments on suicide news – how did he die? People are not interested in the indicators of the body before death, what people are curious about is the story of this man's death. But this time, the male protagonist who seeks death avoided talking about this reason, only saying that it is because the Koran says that one cannot expose a corpse to the wilderness, and that someone needs to bury him and at the same time confirm his own death. The male protagonist drove the car, looking for help everywhere. The four people he met refused to help the hero for different reasons, and at the same time persuaded him not to die.

The first soldier said that he would return to the barracks before 6:30 and rejected the male lead. It was the authoritative time that stopped him.

The second guard said that his job required him to stay in this guard room and rejected the male lead. It was the space prescribed by the profession that stopped him.

A third theology student said that the Koran does not allow people to harm others and rejects the male lead. It was the transcendent God who stopped him.

The fourth old man who made specimens in the museum agreed to the male protagonist's request, but asked the male protagonist, don't you want to smell the flowers, taste the fruits, and experience the circulation of the four seasons? You don't want to taste the taste of cherries again?

In reality, authority and occupational regulations cannot prevent the male protagonist from dying, or conversely, these two things cannot keep the male protagonist alive; the moral decrees of the transcendent God cannot keep the male protagonist alive; only physical The sensory experience, the perceived time and flow, keeps him alive.


Cherry's taste shots are also very simple, with positive and negative dialogues, panoramic car shots, very restrained audience empathy, very few subjective shots, we have been watching the male protagonist's predicament - the raised window and the cage-like car, Diffuse smoke, falling grey stone, huge machines. In the end, I used lofi to reproduce a scene from a movie. The host, Drift Grass, said that Abbas was good at "distancing". I remembered that when Hong Sangxiu was making a movie, a shot would suddenly zoom in. It was probably the point of peeping and the perspective of God. of abandonment. Special notice: I am manipulating your senses for reflection.


The Taste of Cherries is a movie fan salon organized by Teacher Si that I attended in Nanning, and the atmosphere of the conversation was excellent. Mr. Si is a teacher of a film and television appreciation class in a university. I heard that he often gives free tutoring classes to his students here, and the articles are posted on his official account. Floating Grass is the host of this movie viewing salon. She is a student of Guangxi Art Institute and works for Lin Xiang. She watched some sociological studies on suicide for hosting this movie, and we had a casual chat. She mentioned Durkheim's "On Suicide" and Wu Fei's "Suicide as a Chinese Problem". I didn't know much about Wu Fei, nor did I listen to his class. The research on Chinese people’s face, as well as the research on Chinese people’s face, this kind of [Sociology Sinicization] book, the explanation of the phenomenon and the use of words are good, but the concepts proposed are difficult to explain, and I don’t understand it either. many. When I was a freshman and a sophomore, I liked to sell sociology to passers-by in various academic lectures and salons. Wu Fei and Durkheim also showed off a little. In the end, I thought that this kind of behavior is ultimately, in addition to personal image and impression to others Besides, I didn't create anything, and then I didn't like it anymore.

However, people still have to have something to carry their expressive desires.

In the evening, Teacher Si sent a group photo of the audience and asked me if I was the one in the red dress in the corner, and I said yes. I compliment the salon's great atmosphere and everyone's sincerity in their speeches. Teacher Si said that it is only a small-scale movie fan salon, and there is no big event. He sighed that if the floating grass is gone next year, there will be fewer people. I said that watching a movie in a small group also has its own meaning. How can there be an event where a group of strangers can gather for three or four hours to discuss some topics and care about themselves? Movie viewing salons are also a small revolt against ideology. Teacher Si said, no, it is alienation.
