eternal humanity

The film tells the story of China during the Anti-Japanese War in the late 1930s. George Hogg, a journalist from the United Kingdom, sneaked into Nanjing, where journalists were forbidden by the Japanese army at that time, through some means. Just as the Japanese invaders were carrying out a brutal massacre in the Nanjing area, he went deep into the battlefield to report on the truth of the world war. In an abandoned building, he witnessed and filmed a large number of scenes of the Japanese army massacred and burned the Chinese people, but unfortunately he was captured by the Japanese army and rescued by Chen Hansheng of the New Fourth Army when he was executed. Due to injury and unable to report on the front line, he was persuaded by Chen Hansheng to go to an ancient school in Huangshi. There, he encountered more than 60 orphans with different personalities who survived the Japanese massacre. George, who had a language discord, shouldered the responsibility of caring for these children with the help of nurse Li and boss Wang, and gradually established a relationship with them. a deep friendship. When the war was more approaching, in order to prevent these children from being mutilated again, He Ke, Chen Hansheng and others led the more than 60 orphans to travel more than 1,000 kilometers along the ancient Silk Road in China without hesitation. Come to the edge of the desert in the Shandan area to escape the fighting. The unexpected sandstorm on the road made Hok, who had already arrived at his destination, stay in the Gobi Desert forever because of tetanus...
When I saw the beginning of the film, the tragic history of the Nanjing Massacre was reproduced. , couldn't help beating his chest and stomping his feet, deeply disgusted. At the same time, he was also moved by the courage and sense of justice of the kind-hearted Mr. He Ke in order to show the people all over the world the truth of the inhuman and horrific massacre of the Japanese army against the Chinese people.
He Kejun is trying his best to protect the chaotic Chinese orphans, and the National Government! On the contrary, it hunts down strong men in order to force many underage children to go to war. He Ke, a foreign reporter, was able to give up everything, even his life, for some irrelevant Chinese children. What a selfless, brave, and righteous man he was! Those who are not obligated to protect are working hard to protect, while those who are obligated to protect are deeply hurt. Woohoo, woah, woah! The shameful behavior of the Nationalist government and the selfless behavior of He Kejun are such a profound and stark contrast! I believe that the Chinese who saw this scene admired He Kejun and at the same time felt heartbroken to the Chinese government at that time. In China at that time, in the era of war, fireworks were flying, and everyone was safe, and all of them were afraid that Chiyu would be affected. The numb spectators and Ah Q in Mr. Lu Xun's writings abound, even more so.
The scene that moved me the most was when He Kejun was about to run away in a fit of anger, he stood by the river and looked back briefly and affectionately at the broken orphanage in Huangshi. Is it farewell, is attachment, is reluctance? I don't know what He Kejun thought at the time, but he stayed in the end and overcame many difficulties in life for the sake of the children. Teach them English, teach them basketball, teach them to pay attention to hygiene...
The road to Shandan is indeed very hard, but He Kejun's determination and will is stronger.
The two-hour film did not describe much about the three-month-long "Long March to Shandan", except for the two scenes of "Meeting the Japanese Army indirectly caused Shi Kai's death" and "Meeting a sandstorm and indirectly causing He Ke's death". However, this is enough, it is enough to reflect the suffering of the Long March. Coupled with the joy of He Ke at the end of the Long March, it is not difficult to see that they have been displaced along the way.
The long and arduous journey moved me by He Kejun's perseverance, but the "coffin" prepared by the children He Kejun made my heart even more shocked. A piece of white cloth with the names of more than 60 children that He Kejun has been protecting? Do not! That is the hearts of more than 60 children who have gathered to love He Kejun! The monument is simple, the coffin is simple, and the tomb is ordinary, but He Kejun's name is impressive, and his spirit will live in China forever!
At the end, the surviving children who were rescued by He Kejun expressed their views on He Kejun, making the story more real. "Our birthdays are all on July 22, which is the day He Ke died." The attachment and love of the elderly to He Kejun can be seen. "Others say that there is no perfect person in the world, but I think He Ke is perfect. Not only us, but every child in the school will give you the same answer." I believe that He Kejun is such an ordinary and great person...
He Ke's short life is not only a legend of redemption and self-redemption, belief and persistence, he also warns young people who are growing up in a materialistic world today to Adhere to your own beliefs and perseverance, not be enslaved by personal interests, and create your own legend with your own practical actions.
