eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese military and civilians suffered tens of millions of casualties. After all, thousands of people die every day. This is not a literary embellishment or an exaggeration, but the fact that thousands of people die every day because of that war. That's what woke me up instantly.
Maybe it's because of my narrow-minded nationalism. I really don't despise those sympathetic and sympathetic attitudes that stand on the sidelines. After all, it's in a situation where "thousands of people die every day"! In the face of cruel facts, how pretentious and self-deceiving those American spies appear to be investigating with seriousness! They seem to think that they are doing a great and important work, and what are the details of what they discover for those who die every day by the thousands?
We are too easily deceived by certain beliefs, or so-called great truths, which sound beautiful, upright, and just like the truth, admirable and exciting; or at least they sound reasonable, Common sense, sympathetic. That's what Chow Yun-Fat's gangster and John Cusack's American spy have in the movie, and the principles that work. It seems moving, but how pale and ridiculous in the context of "thousands of people die every day!"
After reading Mr. Wei Peide's "Shanghai Bad Earth" and Mr. Chen Cunren's "Life History in the Age of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression", I vaguely realized that perhaps the great role of certain beliefs is magnified by the continuous preaching and utilization of later generations, and even is exaggerated. At the time, these beliefs were perhaps really limited. After all, not everyone can live by faith alone!
What is needed at this time is action, effective action, to prevent the occurrence of "tens of thousands of people dying every day!" Innocents were killed in the war, which is why Schindler is still admirable despite his shortcomings and methods—saving one person means saving the whole world. This is also the reason why I always feel that the Japanese officer who finally let go of Mrs. Lanting in the movie is more admirable and responsible than the boss and the American spy. No matter what camp he is in, at least he acted and rescued him. one person.
Although some relationships are beautiful, sometimes we just can't take them into account, let alone entangle them endlessly. After all, sometimes "thousands of people die every day!"
