In the era of fighting father, keep the roots - About "With You"

Mr. Chen Kaige has made many international blockbusters, but my favorite is the lesser known "With You". The film is about a child named Xiaochun, who learns the violin with the full support and hardship of the chef's father played by Liu Peiqi. The child achieved excellent grades, and worshipped a famous professor played by Chen Kaige as a teacher. The professor chose Xiaochun to participate in the violin competition, but Xiaochun deeply felt the discrimination and indifference towards poor children in the circle of professors. Later, Xiaochun learned from the professor that he was the adopted child of the chef's father. He learned the piano because he only had a violin beside him when he was abandoned. Xiaochun then decided to give up her great future and chose to stay with her "father".

In this era of "my father is Li Gang" and "my father is Li Shuangjiang", father is no longer the wrinkled face in Luo Zhongli's painting, and no one wants to straighten his back like Moruo once did. "I am the son of a peasant". Affection has been replaced by family background and social status. When the second generation of officials and the rich second generation shouted "My father is XX", they would not understand the weight of the word father at all. Xiaochun did not choose a professor but chose a father, precisely because Xiaochun knows the weight of these two words - this is your foundation and the weight of your life. It is not rank, it is not wealth, it is the warmth in blood and flesh. It cannot give you glory, it can only make you glorify it. Xiaochun has achieved remarkable results. When he fulfilled his father's wish, he retreated bravely and did not need to get more. Yes, people can be unsuccessful, but they cannot forget their roots. People in this era are more willing to look forward and have no time to look back, but when we are blindly confused about where we are going, we must not forget where we came from.

The piece played by Xiaochun in the film is Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D major. I once discussed with a certain sister why this song is used in this film. I think Lao Chai's works have a deep love for the land under his feet, no matter how barren it is, no matter how much suffering it bears. The Russian folk songs in the slow movement are like a watchman, and the allegro played by Xiaochun has a Russian perseverance. This is also very similar to what happened to Xiaochun. Don't be stubborn, never forget, love is boundless, and the land under your feet is always worthy of your love and persistence.
