Is Nalan Yuanshu a talent? At least from the perspective of the film, except for the role
of the admiral who is positioned as a "pedantic and conservative" (after all, he did not open the perspective of God, so he added quotation marks) who is struggling for the final struggle of a turbulent dynasty
, he is courageous, resourceful and daring. Caring for the people and even proficient in English. As a martial artist, he has his own
arrogance. Hearing that Huang Feihong is visiting, he must compete with these ten tigers in Guangdong. On the other hand, as an official, he also has the
people and protects the people from conflict. As a Chinese, he fought hard, scolded the British loudly, and safeguarded China
's sovereignty. Of course, as a cadre of defenders of the imperial court, he would not tolerate the revolutionists so much that his methods were cruel, but in fact
, this is also a different position. Changing the title of ruler to leader immediately feels different
, doesn't it? As soon as the revolutionary party is transformed into an anti-anti-defense force that creates anti-anti-defense factions and even subverts anti-defense and defense leaders, the taste
will also change. I'm not saying who is right and who is wrong or that I'm whitewashing him, it's just that in his inherent position, it's almost
impossible for him to see a way to truly change the situation at the time
. Years later, it was really explored and achieved. On the contrary, Huang Feihong, who is not in the officialdom
, may be able to accept some new ideas more freely after experiencing so many things, and it is easier to sublate his position.
In fact, of course he could not change in consciousness. However, as a competent official, his strategy is not
static , he is good at adapting. He can judge the situation and take risks. After feeling the British
trick , he immediately changed from the position of fully protecting the interests of the British to the position of controlling foreign countries with chaos, and even
killed the British consulate in the chaos. Counselor;
we can't ask him to really realize that it's not the so-called revolutionary parties or foreigners or religious groups that are disturbing
chaos and destruction of this country. Now, of course, we know that the real enemy, from
the perspective of the most Chinese people at that time, is precisely the decadent ruler and feudal system of the Qing Dynasty that he was striving to protect. His sadness lies not in
his ability, but in the fact that the trend of history is so ruthless, which ruthlessly scours many capable people with excellent essence but on different
opposites . Therefore, being able to clearly see the historical trend, I feel is the most important
ability . Throughout the ages, how many people hope to see this trend clearly, from the stock market to the national fortune. So
there are so many mysterious writings and interpretations.
The trend of history, in my opinion, is full of mystery just like the universe. Who dares to say that he must have understood
it? Chairman Mao said that history is created by the masses of the people. But everyone knows that the people are easy to be fooled
and guided. In fact, the real creator of history, I think, is still a great leader. That's why
I'm in favor of meritocracy.
