How many people in Chinese history, under the guise of revolution, did despicable and dirty deeds, such as Li Zicheng, Hong Xiuquan, and others who cannot be said. These are not true revolutionaries. Only Sun Wen, who became president but still has the sincerity of revolutionaries, would rather hand over the position of president to Yuan head for the success of the revolution. There is a clip in "Towards the Republic". Yuan Shikai learns that Sun Yat-sen is going to give up his position and kills unbelief, saying that this must be a conspiracy and tricks. The revolution is so laborious and so many people die. Who is not for this presidential throne? How could someone voluntarily let it out? This is the difference between politicians and revolutionaries! You can laugh at Sun Yat-sen's naivety and weakness, but you can't laugh at his revolutionary spirit. It is precisely because of this spirit that he can be called the father of the nation, not someone else. The protagonist in this film is a thorough revolutionary like Sun Wen.
This is a film that makes people completely disappointed in politics. The vast majority of people are ruled by a very small number of people. This is the greatest tragedy that mankind will never be able to change, and it is also the greatest political dilemma. But without the rule of a very small number of people, society will be chaotic again, and people will madly kill each other. High-ranking people must be villains. If you want to be a politician, you must first abandon those so-called conscience and morality.
But the protagonist didn’t. He finally saw the fighting crowd. The big boss took the opportunity to brainwash him and watched people’s bravery and ruthlessness. No one cares about it, so come pick me up; but he saw it again. The child locked in the engine chose to die with the big boss.
Understanding politics does not mean that you can accept such dark rules of the game. After seeing the darkness clearly, you would rather sacrifice the fruits of the revolution than compromise with reality. This is the true revolutionary and the true warrior. The truly great people are those who mix in the darkness, but still retain their pure heart.
The vast majority of people ruled by a very small number of people, such as us, can only live their lives in mediocrity, looking at the world numbly, in order to escape to protect their small world for a moment.
