The siege of Nanjing, the drums of war sounded. The actor sang: Ah...Zhao Erhu...Pang Qingyun...Jiang Wuyang...Three brothers...kill...
Seeing this, I know that the nomination certificate will be remembered in history. Chinese cinema has since stood up.
This is a pure Chinese movie. Only Chinese-style broad and heavy can brew such a masterpiece. Chinese-style home and country, Chinese-style brothers, Chinese-style morality and ideals. It is impossible for Americans to comprehend such deep emotions. There is only "human rights" in their dictionary, never "sacrifice". Americans will ask, save the world? Or save a lover? So Neo will answer without hesitation: lover. Kill this child, or I will destroy the world, will you do it? Don't do it! So what to do? Of course there will be heroes to do it. One side is the girlfriend, the other side is full of children, who to save? Of course, the great Spider-Man does the best of both worlds. It's a pity that there is no Spider-Man on the loess of China today, all we have is full of tragic and solemn. The loss of ambition, the pain of brother betrayal, the deep guilt and desolation.
After watching this movie, what impressed me the most was the Suzhou City defender. In real history, this person is Tan Shaoguang, the Mu Wang of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. After seeing countless heads with green stubble on their foreheads, I suddenly saw a man with long hair and a fluttering Hanfu on his body, how could he not make his eyes shine.
Tan Shaoguang said, 11 years ago, I sold my ancestral property, closed my business, and joined the army to fight against the Qing Dynasty. I can understand him. We have seen too many such people in history. Perhaps it is also unaccustomed to the injustice in the world and harboring injustice. Or he saw the suffering of the people and wanted to save the people of Li. Either you have ambitions or ambitions, and you want to do something. So he wanted to rise up and follow the Taiping army to rebel. In the end, it turned out that King Hong Xiuquan was not a leader worth following. The loyal king Li Xiucheng led his troops to fight in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but he was just thinking of peace. The defeat of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was already doomed. Suzhou is surrounded, what kind of power can a small Suzhou stay behind? Since the aspirations of life have long been empty, it is better to die, in exchange for the peace of the whole city, it is also very happy.
Tan Shaoguang in Suzhou wanted to do something, so he rebelled. If nothing happens, just die. He is indeed a straight-forward person. It is a pity that history has proven to us countless times that those who walk straight will inevitably fail to achieve their goals.
Pang Qingyun understood this. He said, "I have something big on my mind. Those who make big things don't stick to the small details. Pang Qingyun saw Tan Shaoguang's failure, and since the straight road was impossible, he chose a detour. For the sake of righteousness, small righteousness must be sacrificed. For the sake of the Tao in his heart, Pang Qingyun can study the blood-stained "art". So he can kill prisoners, he can attack his brother. He will say, now I kill people, but I can save more people. As long as I can reach the goal, I can double the compensation in the future! But what if you fail midway?
In real history, it was Li Hongzhang who killed prisoners in Suzhou City. I know Li Hongzhang from a poem he wrote when he was a teenager. He said that whoever wrote history for 10,000 years has been looking for a prince three thousand miles away. Such people obviously have big ambitions in their hearts. So Li Hongzhang chose the same path as Pang Qingyun. As long as the goal is achieved, it can be done by nepotism, it can be done to avoid slander and self-defilement, it can be done by forming a party and attacking rape, and it can be done by hugging the Queen Mother's thick legs. But when he finally climbed to the top of the officialdom and wanted to do something, he found that he was stymied everywhere. In the end, I had to sign a humiliating treaty. When he was about to die, Li Hongzhang wrote in his last poem: "The autumn wind, the sword, the solitary minister's tears. Li Hongzhang has been wronged for a lifetime, has he succeeded again?
In the final analysis, the successful people in history cannot be scholars like Pang Qingyun and Li Hongzhang. The only successful person in history can be Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Liu Che heard that Jiang Chong could kill his own son, and that he could kill his concubine for no reason without preventing the empress dowager from usurping power. Zhu Yuanzhang was able to slaughter heroes for no reason by taking precautions. And these are things that readers can't do anyway. Pang Qingyun may be able to be ruthless, and may learn to pay the necessary price, but he will always be "reluctant" and will not kill if he can. Therefore he must fail. In his heart is the way of righteousness, and Machiavellianism will never penetrate into his marrow. Pang Qingyun must fail because he is a scholar.
In real history, in 1864, Zeng Guofan broke the capital. He did not choose to oppose the Qing, but immediately went to the table and asked to cut the Hunan army. In fact, a long time ago, he had been deliberately keeping a low profile and cutting his own wings. We can call Zeng Guofan a coward, but we also know that scholars cannot do great things because their weaknesses are deep in their hearts.
At this point, I couldn't help but think of a sentence in a YY novel in the United States. Said: In order to save the world, you must first blacken your own soul. I saw someone say that Pang Qingyun was white when he appeared, and went through a process from light gray to dark gray, and finally turned into black. I said, what a pity, until his death, his heart is still white.
What a pity! Pang Qingyun. Sad! Pang Qingyun. Magnificent, Pang Qingyun!
