Dignity of living but not living

Perhaps it is the best comment to express the real living conditions of the Chinese people for so many years. The sadness/sourness/humiliation/helplessness/absurdity of life is more profound by using black comedy. Some scenes are unforgettable-----Fugui received Long Er's shadow puppet, and finally began to perform in all corners of the world to survive. Under the dim light, the thin and frail Fugui opened his throat and sang with his blue veins exposed. When the camera turned, a group of people were walking in the rape field, ignoring the scenery and running around blankly. In the cool background music of the erhu, we experienced the distress and coldness of the world. Before, the playfulness of the young master fancier who was addicted to gambling and idleness immediately became a way of making a living! Long Er was bound to the execution ground and stumbled past Fugui's expression before being tied to the execution ground. He wanted to fight, as if he had not fully understood it, and Fugui was so frightened that he faced an old tree and was shaken by five gunshots. It was as soft as an injection into one's own body, showing the thinking logic of the Chinese people's causal reincarnation, as well as the individual's subtle and passive in the grand social changes; Familiar people died from Fugui's side, only he was better off by virtue of good death. Lai Huo's philosophy and a few flukes, survived like an animal, just as he said to Chunsheng: "Endure it, endure it, and live!" It also saw the continuation and strength of life in it. The shock of the whole film can go deep into the bone marrow, this is our life - our grandparents and us. Recently, someone made a performance art "65KG". The author tied himself upside down on a pot with iron chains, and his own blood dripped into the pot. The implication is similar to "Alive". When the outside world is full of horses and horses, and white-collar workers have an inexplicable sense of superiority in survival, think about our true picture, how can we ever have the civil rights guaranteed by the supreme law, the dignity of living without life, everything It's still a fluke.
