From this I think that the differences between Eastern and Western cultures cannot be filled by simple communication or a rough understanding, and even a kind and caring heart is far from enough. In the past, we always thought that Westerners were full of adventurous spirit and were prone to have a strong interest in unknown countries. Later, we discovered that most people have never been out of the city where they live in their entire lives, and have no intention to care about strange land thousands of miles away. ; We have to take the second place, thinking that people who are curious about the East should be pretty good, at least they want to know and get to know-it turns out that most of this group of people are only for curiosity, with small feet and long braids. People of the yellow race, three bows and nine prayers, a wheelbarrow and a small sedan chair with a wide pole. They are obsessed with these images, and they pretend that they have seen the real China. . . Yes, these people are unreliable. So there was a small group of people left. They were also curious, but they believed that seeing is believing. So they mustered up the courage to come to China, thinking they were going to set foot on the wild land, but they started to marvel at it since they got off the plane. China also has a large shopping mall with wide roads and high-rise buildings. . . They finally admit that China has everything it needs, but one thing has not changed-that is the pride that comes from the bones. This may not be regarded as racial discrimination, it is just a habit of contempt for the weak and the weak, always aloof, and always a sympathetic face. . . I finally understand why "Children of Yellowstone" always gives me the feeling of being out of touch.
I still remember the scene that made me cry the most when watching "Schindler's List" when Schindler received a ring made for him by the Jewish collective, with the inscription on it: Save one person and save the world. He cried bitterly while holding the ring, and only hated why he couldn't figure out a way to save one more person. It was when men, women and children were silent, and Schindler was the only one who cried heartbreakingly. It stands to reason that he is the one who should be most grateful for, but he cried, but the people he saved did not cry. Why is that?
I didn’t understand at the time. I just felt heavy and crying. Later, I realized that saving others is also saving myself. There shouldn’t be the mentality of showing kindness to repay. It’s the basics of everyone to lend a helping hand in times of crisis. For moral character, the Yamano village husband should do the same, the knowledgeable Hongru should do the same, the ordinary Chinese compatriots should do the same, and the foreigners who have traveled far and wide in China should do the same. Could it be that when rescuing the slaughtered people, the nationality of the rescuer will make this matter greater or more meaningful? Human beings under the same starry sky are created equal. From my point of view, all the unsung heroes who fought bravely on the battlefield did the same thing as Hok, saving lives.
Of course, I can also understand the director’s feelings. After all, I am a foreigner who has not joined the Chinese army. It is not easy to do so many things out of morality and finally sacrifice his life. I will never deny that Hoke is a hero. What he did is worthy of Chinese people’s gratitude and commemoration—not because he is a foreigner, but because he did what he should do. In that case, anyone has a conscience and has a conscience. Responsible people should do.
All my crying in "Children of Yellowstone" is for the disaster-stricken China and the Chinese people whose lives are like ants. The country has been invaded for no reason and life is easily trampled. This is the shame of the entire civilization and is the responsibility of all other countries on the earth. Feel ashamed. The Chinese are not born to be ruled by others, so even if you come with a great purpose, don't assume the posture of a savior. We don't owe anyone.
I sincerely hope that one day I can cry for the rescuer again.
