In the history of American literature, there is a character known as the "originator of American novels":
James Fenimore Cooper James Fenimore Cooper
Cooper worked as a sailor and a navy, which laid a solid foundation for his future creation of novels reflecting sailing life and adventure. After moving to New York, he heard a lot of stories about the War of Independence, which provided him with material for writing revolutionary historical novels. Cooper's most famous novel is undoubtedly the five-part "Leather Socks Tales" featuring hunter Natty Banbo, including:
In 1992, American director George B. Seitz put one of the most exciting novels "The Last Mohican" on the screen, and it was a great success. At that time, China also introduced and translated the film.
The movie "The Last Mohican" is based on the theme of rebelling against European colonists. The content of the story will not be repeated here. The movie that touched me the most, even all the audience, was the desolate and tragic music "The Last Mohican".
This melody is included in the Peruvian National Cultural Heritage and the United Nations World Cultural Heritage. The music was composed by Trevor Jones and Randy Edelman, and performed by the aboriginal performer-Alessandro Querivaru himself.
"The Last Mohican" has no lyrics, but some people on the Internet use the following poem as its lyrics.
One day, I passed away, those who hated me danced gracefully, those who loved me burst into tears.
The next day, my body faced west and was buried deep underground.
Those who hate me, look at my grave with a smile, those who love me, dare not look back.
A year later, my bones have rotted, and my graves are raining and blowing.
People who hate me, sometimes when they mention me after a meal, still have an angry look on their faces.
The person who loves me, in the dead of night, cry to whom silent tears.
Ten years later, I had no corpses, only some residual bones.
Those who hate me, only vaguely remember my name, and have forgotten my original face.
People who love me the most, there is a short silence when they think of me, and life gradually blurs everything.
Decades later, my grave was blown away by the rain and the wind, but it was deserted.
Those who hate me have forgotten me, and those who love me the most have followed into the grave.
To this world, I have completely become nothingness.
I have struggled all my life, and I can't take away all the plants and trees.
I have been persistent all my life, and I can't take away any vanity and admiration.
In this life, regardless of high or low, rich or poor, one day will come to this last step.
In the future generations, Huo Ran looked back, my life is like a vain.
I want to cry, but I can't make a sound, I want to confess, but it's too late!
Live your life with your heart, don’t take the eyes of others as the yardstick,
Love, hate and hatred, but in fact only love for oneself.
Three thousand prosperous, in a flash, a hundred years later, but a handful of yellow sand.
This poem does not write the noble rhetoric such as heroes and immortality that we often hear, but uses the simplest language to describe a person's perception of an ordinary life.
Today I mainly want to share this music and this poem with you.
