After watching "Farewell My Concubine" after many years, like everyone who likes Cheng Dieyi, I have a question in my heart: "Does Duan Xiaolou love Cheng Dieyi?" After

reading some film reviews, most people think that Duan Xiaolou loves Cheng Dieyi? What Xiaolou has for Cheng Dieyi is not love, but family and brotherhood... But, is this really the case??

In order to answer the doubts in my heart, I watched the video again seriously... My answer is that he has love for Cheng Dieyi, but this kind of love has lost to reality.... From the

beginning to the end, Duan Xiaolou is a pragmatic person, he knows how to meet the reality, He also knows how to compromise with reality. When he was a child, he saw Xiaodouzi mispronounced his lines and almost gave Zhang a chance to perform. He wept and put the hot pipe into Xiaodouzi's mouth. ....because he knew that only by doing so would they have the opportunity to perform this time and escape the master's punishment... When he grew up, he refused to sing for Yuan Siye and the Japanese. It's his bloody side... Because in his heart, his own dignity and country are higher than drama, which is different from Cheng Dieyi. But later, the irony is: this is not for the powerful, not for the Japanese People who bowed their heads, but bowed their heads to the Chinese. On the eve of the Cultural Revolution, he held a meeting with the Communist Hall to discuss Peking Opera. At that time, the drama was about 'Gao Daquan'. With Juxian's reminder, he finally did not look like Cheng Dieyi. , criticized this group of people who distorted Peking Opera, and correctly stated his views on Peking Opera. On the eve of the Cultural Revolution, because Xiao Sizi robbed Cheng Dieyi of his position, he was originally reluctant to take the stage, but Xiao Sizi said, " You have to think clearly, the working people are sitting in the audience now!" In this era, the 'working people' is no longer the weak and oppressed, but a sword that can hurt anyone, and its status transcends any powerful person , it has more weight than any weapon.. So, when Cheng Dieyi handed him the performance props, he compromised and betrayed Cheng Dieyi, who only followed him all his life. During the Cultural Revolution, he was criticized as a 'Cow ghosts and snake gods', he couldn't help exposing Cheng Dieyi's 'evil deeds' at the denunciation meeting. When his wife was exposed as a prostitute who used to be a prostitute, he kept saying that he never loved her.. ...


In order to survive, protect himself, and live well, Duan Xiaolou always wants to be a realistic person... As he said to Cheng Dieyi, "You can't survive without Feng Mo," Duan Xiaolou and Cheng Die said. The clothes are different, he is a man who lives outside the play... However, there is nothing wrong with living in reality, so, outside of reality, does he love Cheng Dieyi??

I think it is love... In

fact, at the beginning, I also felt that Duan Xiaolou gave Cheng Dieyi only brotherhood...because he liked to go to Huamanlou, because when he married Juxian, he asked Cheng Dieyi to witness the marriage. Because he was indifferent when he saw the sword that Cheng Dieyi exchanged for his chastity, he did not recognize that it was the sword that represented the memories of their first appearance on stage; because when Cheng Dieyi was accused of being a traitor and taken away, He did not chase after him, but took care of Juxian who had aborted; because after he got married, after listening to Juxian's words, he stopped singing and went to play with crickets; because he later promised Juxian not to communicate with Cheng Dieyi, and he still stood After obtaining the written evidence, the written evidence later became the proof that Cheng Dieyi wanted to die; because he exposed Cheng Dieyi's past in order to protect himself; because he chose to live with Juxian instead of being the overlord of Cheng Dieyi all his life; Because when he couldn't take the stage with Dieyi, he actually compromised and betrayed the man who regarded him as the only one... He wants to live, he wants to live, he can't live in the play all his life.

However, look carefully Every detail. I found that, in fact, it is not unloved....

When exposing Cheng Dieyi's crime later, Duan Xiaolou cried and questioned Cheng Dieyi, "He ^^^^ for ^^^^^ he ^^^^^^ for ^^^^^^ When Yuan Siye's ^^^^^^ you said, have you done it?" Seeing this, we knew that when he saw the sword on the night of his wedding, he knew that it was Cheng Die How did he get the clothes, but at that time, he pretended not to know...... He always wanted to ask Cheng Dieyi if he had done it, but he couldn't ask...... Look ahead , why didn't he show his face to the fourth master Yuan? Just because the fourth master Yuan accused him of not understanding the play, he did not take seven steps, but took five steps? I don't think so, because he saw the fourth master Yuan giving the butterfly clothes I knew what Yuan Siye was thinking. He was half jealous and half resentful... That's why he said that he was going to Huamanlou... He said, one is angry with Yuan Siye, and the other is I'm angry with Dieyi... His concubine Yu has become someone else's 'in the bag'. He, the overlord, is going to Huamanlou to drink flower wine. He wants to tell them that he has more fun when Duan Xiaolou leaves Cheng Dieyi. Very... Looking back, when he exposed Cheng Dieyi, he even knew about his relationship with Fourth Master Yuan, so he must have known Cheng Dieyi's feelings for him... Moreover, it was the beginning Just know.... There is a detail, it is that after they finished singing, he and Cheng Dieyi were playing in the dressing room, Cheng Dieyi suddenly hugged him from behind, and when they saw themselves in the mirror, their expressions were For a moment, it was stunned and suspicious. I think it was at this moment that Duan Xiaolou saw clearly the relationship between himself and Cheng Dieyi, and also saw them in the mirror, which is them in reality, so, He decided to choose to escape... It is impossible to accept such feelings in reality, so after this time, he always goes to 'Flower Man Lou'. Only by seeking the comfort of women can he be freed from this confusion Come out; later, Duan Xiaolou spat on Cheng Dieyi because he sang to the Japanese. Why? Because he blamed Cheng Dieyi for not having a national spirit? Or was it because he was afraid that Cheng Dieyi would be hurt? , When Cheng Dieyi died, he first shouted hoarsely, and finally there was a smile on his face, maybe he was happy for Dieyi's fulfillment of himself, Dieyi fulfilled his feelings for the overlord, Dieyi is after all. He is the king alone ^^^^^^^

All those who watched "Farewell My Concubine" and liked Cheng Dieyi hope that Duan Xiaolou is in love with Cheng Dieyi... But, maybe this proposition is not necessarily true, just because of my subjective thoughts, It's just wishful thinking...So, does Duan Xiaolou love Juxian?? This question should be seen by the benevolent, but, I just think, it's not love...

Although he married him, he was just relying on her The man obtained by the means, if she did not redeem herself to join him at that time, he would definitely not marry her.. He may be because of the responsibility of what he said at that time, and the second may be because he wants to start a normal marriage and live a normal life. Human life; later, he beat Juxian because she said bad things about Cheng Dieyi, he was not sad at all, just gave up because she was pregnant, but when he beat Dieyi, he was in tears. His face was full; after looking at it later, it seemed that he swallowed his anger many times for the sake of Juxian, but in fact, he was just for himself, and Juxian was just an excuse and a guise for him. With this guise, he could tell him Reality has compromised, he can say that it is for his wife and children, not for himself. If it is really for Juxian, he will not betray Juxian in the end; Xian did not hand the phoenix crown to him, but asked Cheng Dieyi to pass it to him, because she knew that at this time, only Cheng Dieyi's words had the final weight. In the play, Cheng Dieyi was Duan Xiaolou's Yu Ji, Duan Xiao Lou is the overlord of Cheng Dieyi, no one can change this.

In short, whether you love it or not is a matter of opinion... But I personally think that the overlord in this movie is the one who loves Yu Ji... The theme of this play is the story of an era and how a bloody man is told The story of bowing his head in front of the times and being tortured by the mistakes of the whole era. Why is it in "Farewell My Concubine" to tell people what a majestic character Chu Bawang was originally, but in the end, he still bowed his head to his fate.. ..Through his compromise, it reflects the current situation at that time and makes people recognize the historical issues.... However, in addition to telling the story of an era, it also tells a love story. Chu Bawang should have died, but he didn't. In reality, he chose to be a person who bowed his head... But what about in the play? Cheng Dieyi has been Yu Ji from beginning to end, and in the end he used death to fulfill his role, but Chu Bawang couldn't do it. He is an overlord in the play, and a real person outside the play... So, has he ever loved Yu Ji?? Of course, that is in the play... Is he a bloody man? Of course, that is also in the play Inside....has he loved Juxian Juxian? Maybe he did too, that's off-screen.... But I think that Juxian is an excuse and an excuse for him to try to free himself from the show. Motivation..Unfortunately,


Duan Xiaolou is not the overlord in the play. But it doesn't prove that he doesn't love his Yu Ji in the play.
