After a successful writer won the Nobel Prize for Literature, he turned down all entertainment and chose to return to his hometown where he had been away for 40 years to accept the title of outstanding citizen. At the beginning of today, people in his hometown showed it. with great enthusiasm to welcome this great man of his hometown. But slowly over time, everyone showed their own selfishness and hypocrisy, some were jealous, some were jealous, and some were very disgusted with his success, and finally everyone kicked the writer out of their hometown and even shot him , almost killed him, this is naked humanity.
It is really a very paradoxical logic that a writer in a foreign country has won the respect of the whole world, but cannot win the respect of people in his own hometown. There is an old saying in China that can explain this truth from the side: there is no scenery around you, and there is no great person by your pillow. The closer the distance between people and things, the less profound it is. Distance produces beauty, and distance produces philosophy.
Hometown is a very special existence. Although some people have been far away from hometown, it does not mean that he is not there. There are a lot of people who spend their entire lives escaping from that place, and as the hero of this film says in his own book, my characters can't leave, and I can't go back.
This is a story of still water running deep, from the beginning of the calm, to the sharp turn at the back, like an onion, layer by layer, until the end with tears. When I saw the innermost kernel, I was surprised. Many people have a strange fate, especially the Chinese people today, everyone will have a strong feeling that they can't go back to their hometown, and they can't stay in the city. Although there are many institutional reasons, in fact, the most important one is psychological.
