I finally watched "The Smell of Green Papaya", which I wanted to see for many years. The plot of the film is very old-fashioned and simple:
a young Mei travels from the countryside to Saigon to work as a maid in a declining family. The male host doesn't care about internal affairs and foreign affairs. The wife takes care of everything at home and abroad, but he plays the strings all day long, and has repeatedly swept away the family's money. Her own daughter, resigned to her husband's evil deeds. Mei follows another old maid and learns the stunt of cooking. Mei, who is in love at the beginning of her life, falls in love at first sight with Haoren, a classmate of the eldest young master. Ten years later, Mei turned to work as a maid for Hao Ren, a composer. Her beauty and virtuousness finally won Hao Ren's love, and the two eventually married. Distinctive Southeast Asian music, lush tropical plants, buzzing Watson fans, mosquito nets wafting slowly in the breeze, mosquito coils curling with green smoke, windows with only window frames but no sashes, cicadas chirping non-stop Calling, lizards climbing on the trees, and even toads walking on the slate are leading us into the humid, rainy, sweltering tropical rainforest climate, the cicadas, insects, the warm wind, and the swaying wooden windows. , lush green leaves, crystal clear melons and fruits, simple and poetic courtyards, accompanied by a unique subtropical humidity, all kinds of men and women. What it brings is the mysterious and unpredictable impression of Vietnam through the gauze.
When I was a child, I knew Vietnam. It was from my aunt that I learned that my father participated in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam as a soldier of the Second Artillery Corps (later I learned that he was a logistics soldier), and he taught the Le Duan regime that insisted on revisionism and chauvinism. , I also know that there is a Vietnamese grandfather Huang Wenhuan in our country. He was persecuted by Le Bald and went into exile in China because he insisted on Sino-Vietnamese friendship and Ho Chi Minhism. This old grandfather passed away when I was in elementary school. I heard that the ashes were scattered in the lower reaches of the Red River in Yunnan, and he eventually returned to his motherland. According to someone from the Zhongnanhai Service Bureau, Huang Wenhuan was treated very well in our country. According to the same treatment as a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, some people once disagreed. Chinese are very good friends. Grandpa Huang has a deep knowledge of Chinese, and especially likes to write elegiac couplets. This quirk was discovered by me in the past two years when I read relevant history books. The elders who were reborn after the Cultural Revolution in my country in the 1980s began to pass away one after another. TV is familiar all over China, but the news should not be too monotonous, so every news about Grandpa Huang will be accompanied by a couple of elegiac couplets or elegy poems, elegiacs, regardless of whether he knew the deceased or not, I think This is our political need, and it is also a strange way for the elderly to repay the kindness of our country.
When I was a little older, I knew that the general secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam was called Du Mai, and he had the same name as the one played by Jiang Shan in my "Happiness". Later, I learned that he was a kind-hearted grandfather. This old man is still open, and it is in his hands. , Sino-Vietnamese relations have been normalized, and they also advocated that cadres should be younger. When he abdicated, his de facto successor Nong Duc Manh was nearly 30 years younger than him, which laid a solid foundation for Vietnam's reform and opening up, so there is a Vietnamese "Deng Xiaoping" "The name. Every time a Chinese leader visits Vietnam, he will come out to meet to show the importance he attaches to China-Vietnam relations. Last year's "Victory at Dien Bien Phu" made people's attention return to Vietnam more than 50 years ago. At that time, the young and promising General Vo Nguyen Giap defeated the French devils with the help of General Chen Geng and General Wei Guoqing of our country, and abolished them. Emperor Bao Da helped Grandpa Hu to stabilize North Vietnam, and he became a national hero of Vietnam for a while. Who would have thought that 50 years later, the 16th Congress of the Viet Cong, the long-forgotten general would come out again. People in their 90s, Still wearing a military uniform, as a specially invited representative, he did not give the Viet Cong a leadership level at all, and criticized a large number of serious corruption problems in Vietnam in recent years. No one in the leadership of the Communist Party of Viet Nam dared to answer, the Prime Minister apologized and resigned, the President of the State and the Speaker of Parliament also resigned, and the anti-corruption whirlwind swept across Vietnam. Presumably people will remember the general's majestic face that has been ravaged by the years.
I often read the news that many Vietnamese women were sold to China to marry those old bachelors. Because of language barriers and timid acceptance of fate, they became the main targets of human traffickers in my country. According to students in Hainan, there are many Vietnamese in rural areas in Hainan. women. The diligence and ability of Vietnamese women can only be compared with Hainan women with similar latitudes in China. The fluttering white clothes of Vietnamese women make people feel the taste of Jiangnan Xiaojiabiyu. Zeng and roommates Zhang Sheng, Zhou Sheng and others summed up that once they were very down, it would be a good choice to go to Vietnam to find a girl. My brother-in-law went to travel on May 1st and chose Guilin Beihai Vietnam Tour. I stayed in Vietnam for 2 days and met countless Vietnamese women. When I came back to chat with me, I felt that I should be looking for a lover and a female artist who played and sang in that bar, and I should be looking for a wife. Women wearing "Ao Dai", looking for nanny should be the sisters and aunts who set up stalls on the street to make a living.
Later, when I went to college, one of my college friends, my grandmother is Indonesian, my grandmother is Vietnamese, my grandfather and grandfather are both local overseas Chinese, and he has 25% Vietnamese ancestry. When he was a freshman in a dormitory, he often I heard from him that his father was a refugee. He was deported by Vietnam during the self-defense counterattack. The people of Hainan took him in. He met his mother, who was also a refugee, in Hainan. They married and gave birth to two brothers. Now, my dear parents have moved their family to the mainland, settled in Huizhou, Guangdong, started a business, and lived a well-off life. I think they feel the warmth of the motherland more deeply. Teacher Wang, who taught me college English, traveled in Sanya when he was young. A few years ago, when the tourism industry was prosperous, when he was not working as a hotel, he also took a cruise ship to shuttle between the South China Sea and Beibu Gulf, and traveled throughout Halong Bay. Vietnamese flavor. What a leisurely life. When that Mr. Lin Qing raved about in the 1980s and 1990s when he brought several boxes of cool oil to Vietnam to pan for gold in exchange for a large amount of banknotes, I think Vietnam’s landscapes have also been pondered by him.
When I was in college, for a while, I thought about traveling all day, and planned to walk around the home addresses of my classmates in the summer vacation, but I couldn't get down. change. Vietnam has good quality and low price, the misty rain in Vietnam is poignant, and it is like the sea breeze of the South China Sea tugging at my heartstrings. I have already started saving money. I spent the night at sea on the Princess cruise ship, and took a few pictures of the Ao Dai woman on the streets of Hanoi. , Shuttle through the Nanyang-style streets to experience the life in the old city of Haikou, pay homage to the solemn tomb of Grandpa Hu, etc. There are many, many things about Vietnam, I want to ponder and go leisurely.
Good day BonjourVietnam.
Bonjour in Vietnam means Good Day in French.
Vietnam was originally a French
colony . Good Day. The Vietnamese
singer interprets the voice of Vietnamese girls in French
. It is very moving.
I don't know French, and I don't have any lyrics. I
only know that Bonjour is a French greeting: good day, good morning, hello.
I wrote a song and
imagined the situation .
