During the transition period from the collapse of the Japanese shogunate, Chen Dean, to the Meiji Restoration, Qingbei at dusk was a small person in the big era. Originally called Qingbei Iguchi, only the lower-level samurai with fifty stone salaries and his wife had tuberculosis. Sedi passed away and owed a lot of debts at the funeral. The family had an old mother who lost her memory and two young daughters, who could not make ends meet every month. In such a hierarchical society at that time, Qingbingwei took the "honorary status" of a samurai. He worked odd jobs all night to weave bird cages, with a unkempt face and a strange smell, and maintained his household in silence and witheredness. Therefore, his colleagues said that he was as tired as dusk, hence his name.
[Power]
is such a ragged "Twilight Qingbingwei", when facing the challenge, in order to maintain the dignity of his sweetheart and fulfill his duty of loyalty, he still has a strong explosive force as if he was fighting to his death. Moreover, the opponents twice were all in the domain. of the top players.
Once, it was because the childhood sweetheart Miss Tomo couldn't bear her husband Toyotaro's alcoholism, beating, repenting of marriage, and returned home, and Toyotaro chased after the murderer. He is a fallen noble, and he is also an outstanding swordsman in the domain, and he immediately decided to compete next time by the river. But Qingbingwei sold the samurai sword that represented his identity early because of the helper family, reluctantly, but not afraid, and finally defeated Fengtaro with the wooden sword. Another time was due to the death of the feudal lord, and a cronies contended for the throne. Qingbingwei was forced by Shangguan to send Yuwu Shanyouemon, a top swordsman who rebelled in the domain. Qingbingwei still held a wooden sword and a sword from his teacher. In the house where Zenemon was hiding, he fought with the beasts in the cage. In the end, his body was covered in blood, and he was lucky enough to assassinate Yugo Zenemon. In both cases, he gambled with his life.

About this film is suitable for men after 30 to watch. The more times you watch it, the more worthy of your feelings. This kind of "worthiness" is the kind of "worthiness" that must come again no matter how sad and hard life is. ”, you will find that everything has to be passed slowly, bear slowly, forbearance and responsibility will feed a man, let him be firm first, and then feel helpless because of firmness, and understand happiness and pride from it, the real life is probably like this.
Perhaps because the time of this foreign country is farther away from us, the power brought by the replacement of identities will be more distinct. Therefore, I would like to thank all those people, works and objects that spanned time and space, and I would like to thank Shan Ye, who was over 70 years old when the film was made. Director Yoji, Hiroyuki Sanada, played by Kiyohei, and Rie Miyazawa, played by Tomo, are the ones who brought us strength and moved us with their well-organized beauty.
[Love]
There is also a soft line in "Twilight Qingbingwei", that is the love between Miss Pengjiang and Qingbingwei.
They have loved each other since childhood, but Qingbingwei felt that he was poor and humble, and Pengjiang finally married Fengtaro under the auspices of his elder brother and sister-in-law. Fengtaro is addicted to alcohol and violent after drinking. In the end, Pengjiang couldn't bear to escape from the marriage and returned to her brother-in-law's house. She also buried her love for Qingbingwei deep in her heart, and often went to Qingbingwei's house to help the old and young to wash and take care of it. It created a new beginning for the continuation of the front line, but Qingbingwei still refused brother Pengjiang's proposal, or because his young daughter's ignorance and mother's helplessness and dilapidated future could not give dignity to the love that had been buried for half a lifetime.
The blasting point of the movie is precisely here. This man's understanding of this responsibility and the silent struggle in his heart. The responsibility is great love and speechless, and the struggle is the endurance of the wind and thunder. This is when he sees Miss Pengjiang again. The way he recites the Analects with his daughter while weaving a birdcage by the fire can also be seen from his generous shaking of his head and smile when his old mother doesn't recognize him and asks, "Which family are you from?"

The central and touching point of the film's contradictions is that Kiyobei accepts the inescapable and almost impossible task of his boss asking him to assassinate Yugo Zenemon.
He entrusted his daughter and mother to others. Before leaving, he called Pengjiang and asked Pengjiang to comb his hair for the first time and should be the last time. When the deadline of life and death was approaching, he turned his back to Pengjiang and finally said what was in his heart, "I am going to fight now, and I will return triumphantly. At that time, if I propose to you, will you accept it?" When he learned that Pengjiang had agreed After meeting someone else, he went limp, his expression suddenly erratic, and he muttered to himself, "I'm too rude, I shouldn't have called you here", until when he was about to leave, although Pengjiang said, "Although I can't wait for you here to come back, I only hope that you are safe and sound and come back victorious." Qingbingwei bowed to her, and went to his death with the great generosity of the officials.

I saw someone say this. He said that a man's shyness is like a woman's strength, and no matter how hard it is, it will shine because it has a soft foundation in it.
When Qingbingwei came back from the battlefield with blood dripping and limping from a distance, leaning on a sword, the sun was setting, the old mother was washing rice with the eldest daughter, and the youngest daughter was taking a basin to go. Buying tofu, the tree has cast a heavy shadow, chickens are cooing around the fence, the neighbors’ cooking smoke has been wafting around, he staggers back, leaning against the dilapidated wooden door all of a sudden, crying with exhaustion and blood all over his body Daughter - "Eden, Daddy is back", the youngest daughter had never seen such a handsome father, she was scared and ran two steps back and stayed where she was. When I picked it up, life was suddenly ignited, so beautiful... At this time, Miss Pengjiang ran out of the house, and the evening air suddenly solidified, Qingbingwei slowly put down her daughter and walked in front of Pengjiang, Pengjiang fell on him I burst into tears in my arms...
[Fortunate]
Next is the memory of my daughter burning paper with a kind smile at the grave at the end of the film -
"Miss Pengjiang has finally become our mother, and my father is very happy.
But our family's peace only lasted for three years. In 2009, with the outbreak of the Meiji Restoration and the Boshin War, the Hai Shi anti-feudal lord, who was a Samu faction, was regarded as a traitor and fought against the overwhelming force of the emperor's army. She died of gunfire.
After the Restoration, Pengjiang took us to Tokyo, worked to raise us, and found a husband's home for us. She is now sleeping with her father under this tombstone.
After the Meiji period, most of my father's old colleagues and superiors became famous. Going up and down, I often hear them say 'Twilight Kiyobei is really an unfortunate man', but I don't think so, my father is not a person who is demanding of fame and fame, he will never consider himself unfortunate, he loves his daughter deeply, and is beautiful The love of Mrs. Pengjiang, his short life is full of beautiful memories, and I am proud of such a father." The snow-
capped mountains are so close in front of us, but they are actually very far away. It is not necessarily the case that most of his life is lost, just like the heart of this man named Twilight Qingbingwei - quiet, brave and knowing the sky.
