I haven't read the novel "Alive", but I watched the movie recently, and I was deeply touched. The film describes the tragic life of the protagonist Xu Fugui. He was born in a wealthy family from generation to generation. The young wife has been consumed by her husband's gambling addiction and only despair is left, and she returns to her parents' home with her young daughter and newborn son. Elderly father dies after signing mortgage on property. From worry about food and clothing to poverty in just one night. In desperation, I got a job of singing shadow puppets and settled down. I thought I could live a poor but stable life, but I didn't expect that the tragedy had just begun. He was arrested for military service and almost lost his life. After returning, his mother left, his daughter lost his voice, and his son was killed. The murderer was actually his own brother Chunsheng. Years later, his daughter finally grew up and got married, but he left because of the hemorrhage of having a child... He has experienced major social changes such as the civil war, the Three Antis and Five Antis, the Great Leap Forward, and the Cultural Revolution. The tragedy of the black-haired man has experienced life's teasing of himself again and again. He once said to Chunsheng: "You have to live if you don't want to live. We both climbed out of the dead. It's not easy to survive." Perhaps it was after experiencing life and death that he understood how difficult it is to live, even like a reed Vulnerable, but also work hard to survive.
Yu Hua said: "Cry with laughter and live with death." Others may feel that when the world is only themselves, there is no point in living. However, after experiencing all kinds of hardships, the rich and noble still look forward to the chicken becoming a cow and eating meat every day. This humble wish also reflects his desire for life, for nothing else, no purpose, just to live. This is sadness and hope.
People always need some motivation to live, and every misery that is sown will grow into a hope. Now that you have come to this world, you must work hard to live, regardless of age, wealth, or achievement. Every life is magical and can shine like gold. Only if you live up to yourself, will you be treated gently by the world.
