Live like an animal Recently, a bus in Wanzhou, Chongqing lost control and fell into the sea due to an argument between the driver and the female passenger, killing 15 people. Because the driver's frequent braking became ineffective, the Lanzhou Toll Office collided with 35 vehicles in a row. The famous host Li Yong died of cancer, and a generation of martial arts master Jin Yong died of illness. The public's high attention to life's current affairs reminds me that the film Alive, directed by Zhang Yimeng, is also a reflection on life. The film tells the story of the landlord Fugui Ge You and his wife Gong Li who struggled to support their family in the torrent of changing times after they went bankrupt. Poverty tortures people's hearts, war ravages the body, revolution suppresses the will, Fugui's family struggled to survive in the predicament, but never gave up hope of life. Jiazhen, a typical image of a traditional Chinese woman, is forbearing and tenacious in the face of her former ineffective husband, she chooses to be tolerant, and only has a happy birthday with him. In the face of increasingly difficult days, she only said that it is good to be together at home, so Fugui has set up a shadow puppet team. Yu Jiazhen is both bitter and sweet in chai, rice, oil and salt. War is always unfeeling, and the bitterness is so painful that it "aches". Fugui and Chunsheng were surrounded by an army of more than 100,000 soldiers. To the war, the veteran said, "It's good to save your life." Fugui always talked about his wife and children, and insisted on guarding the shadow puppets. Compared with Lao Zhang, Fu Guisheng's desire to go home is so strong! Wearing the clothes of a dead person, and rather being a prisoner than charging, these seem to violate the values ​​of the real world, but this shows the essential truth: "Human nature is the desire to survive, and even mosquitoes will frantically struggle to survive when they are trapped. It can be seen that , as long as you are alive, it is more important than anything else." This is the real humanitarianism. Facing the corpses everywhere, Chunsheng said tremblingly, "We have to live!" Fugui trembled and replied, "You have to live well when you go back." Live for the times. When Chunsheng faced the oppression of the opposition, causing his family to be destroyed, he didn't want to live anymore, and his belief in life was still defeated by reality. Jiazhen said: "You still owe our family a life." Fu Gui advised: "You have to live if you don't want to. We climbed out of the dead. It's not easy to live. No matter what, we have to endure and endure." In the end, Chunsheng left. There are many people who can't bear the pressure of reality and choose to die to escape. Many people today are still vague about what life is. From their own experience, just yesterday, the grandfather who was hospitalized in his hometown had a sudden illness. Came to the operation and rescued him for nearly five hours. During this period, the uncle who received the notification of critical illness called his mother. The mother who received the notification looked calm but pale. At the same time, in different time and space, the mother and three uncles were strong Waiting anxiously with blood dripping from my heart, my mother was crying in the dark night. When life was put in front of me to be tortured, but my mind was blank, my mother kept saying: "Amitabha, as long as you live, you are rich and rich. No more expensive..." At that moment, I felt ashamed for my ignorance of life and the thought of suicide. Like the older generation of Fugui, who have experienced the difficulties of the torrent of change in the times, they still know that life is the most precious, and all the reasons for trampling and ignoring life are nonsense, not to mention the irresponsible way of suicide and hurting others. deny life. Living is the root of man and the soul of a nation.

To live like an animal is more important than anything else.
