What is the background that must be understood before watching the movie "Children of Jianghu"?

After reading it, I pondered for a long time. In fact, Brother Bin is not a pure Jianghu person at all, but more like a social person who pursued formalism in that era, and Qiaoqiao is a real Jianghu person.

Brother Bin used to have knives and guns, horses, often worship Guan Erye, and even had the same dream as a gangster Hong Kong film. These metaphysical things are the rivers and lakes he has always adhered to. He said that "people like us will die sooner or later". The rivers and lakes in his heart are a world of life and death, but the righteousness of the rivers and lakes is something he has never figured out, so he has always been a "talker" and can never become a godfather. Stacking money for the second sister-in-law is indeed a good job, but he thinks the whole thing is just because the young kid wants to get ahead. The phantom of the words "Duanjin" is used as a background to set off the old times. It seems that all this is farther and farther away from "righteousness". It seems that love and righteousness only exists in a basin of "five lakes and four seas". Just after being released from prison, the world has changed. , the person has changed, his own values ​​have also changed, and righteousness has really changed, but he has never expressed gratitude or apology to Qiaoqiao, all he cares about is how to make a comeback, how to reject his face, his arena is no longer there Now, his face is everything to him, so he just walked through the rivers and lakes, but he never had a heart in the rivers and lakes, because he had never figured out what the "righteousness" of the rivers and lakes looked like, but he knew how to deal with Qiaoqiao. Should be "unrighteous".

Besides, Qiao Qiao, before the incident, love was above everything else. After she was released from prison, righteousness followed her for the rest of her life. When Brother Bin abandoned her, she gave up and took the initiative to leave without asking for anything; when Brother Bin returned home from paralysis, she never mentioned his past, took him in, and even hurt others for him again, changing from being affectionate to righteous, which is a coincidence As the ultimate transformation of Jianghu people, it is not only people but also times that change at the same time, but no matter what era you are in, there are rivers and lakes where there are people, but most people take this sentence as a statement that they are Jianghu people Motto, only Qiaoqiao interprets the meaning of this sentence with his own actions.

Times have indeed changed, at least the horses are no longer in the mahjong hall for the sake of "love", they are working in the mahjong hall to live in, but no matter how the times change, only the volcanic ash will not change, and the experience of the fire will only change. more pure, just like Qiaoqiao.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, but for the ruthless and unrighteous people, the rivers and lakes are their world; for the affectionate and righteous people, the world is their rivers and lakes, and it seems that the world has never changed.
