It's easy to mistake the title for a politically charged documentary film when it turns out to be a light-hearted yet tragic feature film. The TV shows that the first astronaut of the GDR (East Germany) successfully went to space, and the light of socialism is particularly dazzling in the universe. For the young man, this is full of longing and hope. Outside of the TV, the investigation committee came to the home to investigate the father who was stranded in West Germany, and the mother also collapsed and stopped talking. Eight weeks later, my mother came back, like a different person, she had decided to devote herself entirely to the cause of socialism, socialism was her belief, and she wanted to spend her life making this country a better place. With the passage of time, the map of the world has begun to change gradually, and the ideology of society has also begun to fall apart. People are full of curiosity and yearning for unfamiliar things, especially for young people who are not familiar with the world. They wandered in some unknown parades, shouting slogans they didn't quite understand. The socialism of the old era was orderly and secure. In that era, they did not need to worry about survival. The social atmosphere was more simple and monotonous, and the collective will of the people always inspired the hearts of the people. Therefore, the socialist East Germany also has a certain temptation for West Germany, which is "the strong prey on the weak". But for people in East Germany, the material life of capitalist West Germany is so colorful, even if it is full of some corruption and money worship, it makes countless people yearn for it. At a rally, my mother fainted from a fright and slept for eight months. In these eight months, the whole of Germany has undergone earth-shaking changes. The Berlin Wall has been torn down, people have crossed the wall to hug their long-lost compatriots, and the passage of the two lands has finally returned to freedom. When the young people of East Germany were free to cross the original border into the unfamiliar land of West Germany for the first time, the whole world was so splendid and wonderful. The richness and attentiveness of the service are even more memorable. This kind of life has also been replicated on the land of East Germany in a very short period of time. People embrace the new life without strong joy or resistance. Everything seems to be very natural. After the mother woke up, the doctor told Alex that he could no longer stimulate his mother. If the mother found out that the country that carried her lifelong beliefs no longer existed, it would be a great stimulation, so Alex weaved a huge but beautiful for his mother. lie. He restored the home to the look of the East German period, and made fake videos of that old era with his good friends who were good at editing. Whenever his mother found out When it comes to the capitalist society, he will try his best to tell lies, such as the ridiculous lie that Coca-Cola has cooperated with state-owned enterprises to produce, the refugees from West Germany have come here and our government welcomes their arrival and arranges jobs. But my mother accepted this rhetoric, because for her, the belief in socialist Germany always attracted more people who yearned for beauty. Socialist songs sung by teenagers filled the room, and the broken socialist dream still continued in this small home. His mother was dying, and when Alex came to West Germany to find his traitorous father, who had been described as abandoning his wife and children, the middle-aged man did not have the contemptuous image he imagined, but was so refined, generous and approachable. He has a new family, but that doesn't mean he has given up his love for the Alex family. He readily accepted Alex's request, holding flowers at the door of the ward, he staggered and looked nervous, like a lover he met for the first time on a date. It's just that this late love for his mother is no longer a blessing, but it has never disappeared. How could my mother know that the thriving socialist Germany in front of her was not the homeland she was familiar with? She walked out of the room and went to see this real new world. People's clothing and steps became more personal. The posters and advertisements posted everywhere replaced the original policy banners. The air seemed to be different. The head of Lenin, once the symbol of the city, flew slowly through the air, and the mother stared at the statue. The waving hand on the statue seemed to say goodbye, and it seemed to say "Welcome to a new era." Alex did not know the fact that his mother knew the truth from beginning to end, and continued to rehearse the East German drama, just to make his mother feel at ease and happy. The mother also pretended not to know, and looked at this kind and good son with affection and tenderness. . This mutual deception lasted until the end of my mother's life, and this touching is so real and warm. I am reminded of "Second-hand Time" written by the Belarusian writer Alexievich. When people suddenly changed from a socialist country for decades to a capitalist country, people were still not used to it. People in the socialist period had More equal working hours and remuneration also meant that people had more time together to do what they liked, and literary and artistic careers also flourished in that era. The early socialism experienced by the old generation was not the same as that of the new generation. They are all the same, so they can perceive the beauty of the old times better, and it is really difficult for us to experience that kind of deep emotion. The estrangement between people is caused by beliefs and values. We have all despised each other but secretly envied each other. In the face of the big era, the power of an individual is negligible, but who would refuse to choose to be with him? What about a better way of life for people? The passing of the old times can't help but make people feel sorry. Some people are calm, but some people can't get away, but some things have not changed because of the changes of the years. Sincere love will not change, and the yearning for a better life will not change. Goodbye Lenin, hello new era!
