Jackie Chen's 99th movie finally got rid of the Jackie Chan mode of fighting, killing and jumping, and began to move people with lines. This time, Jackie Chan is no longer a hero who can never be beaten to death, but would rather be a soldier in disgrace, and even drag the high-quality idol Wang Leehom into the water. As a handsome guy, although Leehom is full of dust, he still can't stop his heroic spirit. According to the movie classification, this movie should be regarded as a road movie. The two people fight all the way, separate and combine, and come up with a lot of interesting stories, so it is reasonable for this movie to sell well. Of course, the most valuable thing is the simple life atmosphere exuding from the ordinary soldiers played by Jackie Chan. For any soldier, hometown and pastoral are eternal pain in the heart. That's why Xiang Yu's disciples were completely at a loss when they heard "besieged on all sides". And life has become the most unquestionable reason for anti-war.


When I was borrowing books in the library last time, I overheard a few teachers discussing how to steal vegetables. I thought it was funny at first, but then I thought it was a bit strange. How can people who usually talk about housing prices have it? Such an entertaining spirit. Unlike other games that are only popular among young people, the game of "stealing vegetables" is often played by the whole family. Some people even turned upside down in the morning and twilight because of this, and they never tire of it. The Chinese company that developed this game is called "FIVE MINUTES", which means that their game only takes five minutes of people's time every day. However, the later development has far exceeded their imagination, and "stealing vegetables" has even become a a social phenomenon. Many Taoists denounced the game that advocates stealing as a result of the decline of the world, and many "Brick House Beasts" even began to seriously analyze the reasons for the phenomenon of stealing vegetables. But after watching this movie, I suddenly felt that the reason why this kind of game is popular may be because it fulfills the dreams of little people. Jackie Chan compiled his dream into the ballad "Rape Flower" in the movie, and sang it over and over again. The simplicity and cuteness of the little people were vividly expressed: "


The soil under the mountain is fertile, the land is five acres and five

acres of fertile land .

Goose is fat, cattle, cattle and sheep are strong, so they

grow beans and rice and rape flowers.”


In "Lao Tzu", when describing what is the best leader, he said "to be too high, to know what is from the bottom", that is to say, you don't have to do things yourself, everything runs smoothly according to the natural track, and people can't feel his Existence, this is the most competent leader. What the people like most is not the kind of leader who is "familiar", because the reason people feel that the leader is close to the people is often because other officials are not close to the people. If being close to the people is the norm, then there is no distinction between being close to the people and not being close to the people. Although here is how to be a leader, but from another perspective, here is also the life that the people most yearn for.


There is a passage in "Book of Songs", "Drinking at sunrise, resting at sunset, digging cattle for drinking, ploughing cattle for work, what is Dili and I?" It also speaks of this kind of simple little man-like dream. In fact, this kind of dream is not just the dream of a small person. Tao Yuanming, a gentleman of the Jin Dynasty, is a gentleman and a big man, and his favorite life is precisely "planting beans in the south of the mountain, and the grass is full of bean sprouts." He has been in the officialdom for thirteen years, seeing the ups and downs of the Huanhai Sea, holding the dream of "Great Zealot", constantly trying, constantly disappointed, and finally "returning to the garden and living in the countryside". In this way, if a big man can also have the dream of a little man, he can make the people live and work in peace and contentment and be a free-spirited leader; he can be an optimistic little man, plant some chrysanthemums, face Nanshan, and feel the true meaning of life. Not for.

The so-called dreams of little people are actually the dreams of most people, and the establishment of a country is, in the final analysis, for the better life of most people. Therefore, if those people who open and close their mouths are all countries, if they can't really dream of ordinary people's dreams, then they can't be regarded as big men. Just like Hitler who dreamed of conquering the world all day long, when you impose your own dreams on everyone's dreams, if you have absolute power, then what you can bring to the world can only be one. a huge disaster. So from this point of view, there is no big or small difference between dreams.

Maybe the dreams of small people and big people are just different names. Big people say "Utopia", talk about "Datong society", and imagine "Peach Blossom Spring", while small people think "peasant women and mountain springs have fields".
