If it is free

This is the scene that shocked me: Wallace exhausted his last strength on the guillotine and shouted out the heart-wrenching words: freedom!

I once sighed that our predecessors threw their heads and sprinkled their blood to win freedom for us, but what are we doing with these freedoms?

From China to foreign countries, from the East to the West, although some places are not completely free, in the true sense of freedom, we do have more freedom than our predecessors.

But we have so easily gained a little freedom that our predecessors sacrificed their lives. What have we done to be worthy of this freedom?


We are easily moved by the movie, but when we walk out of the cinema, how many of us will seriously think about how I should make good use of our existing freedom. Sometimes I think about it, I can’t even make good use of my current freedom, and no matter how much freedom is given to me, what can we do?

Is it just working, making money, and spending?
Is it just for the house, car and salary?
Is it just for traveling, shopping, eating and drinking?

In addition to our freedom to let us live a good life, what can we do?

Don’t let freedom become just a slogan, a sign, a symbol,
but a motivation and environment for us to pursue a better life,
not only pay attention to our own acre of land, but freely penetrate the boundaries, Go beyond the limits of countries, regions, cultures, and religions, and beyond the limits of our thinking, vision, and life, to explore a broader and freer world,

think about Wallace, think about me, and think about their past lives. , Think about our current life, we should be able to get some inspiration from it, not just moving.

    MacGregor: We'll have no homes left when the English garrison from the castle comes through and burns us out. And they will!

  • Robert the Bruce: I'm not a coward. I want what you want, but we need the nobles.

    William Wallace: We need them?

    Robert the Bruce: Aye.

    William Wallace: Nobles.

    [laughs a little]

    William Wallace: Now tell me, what does that mean to be noble? Your title gives you claim to the throne of our country, but men don't follow titles, they follow courage. Now our people know you. Noble, and common, they respect you. And if you would just lead them to freedom, they'd follow you. And so would I
