the past

There are very few stories that move me, very few movies that I enjoy. There was a "A Chinese Ghost Story" many years ago. It was many years later that I really experienced this story.
The ruined ancient temple in my impression, Yan Chixia, who hated evil and hatred, and the half-yin and half-yang tree demon were all blurred and forgotten by time. Only the poignant and poignant woman in white, the graceful and infatuated youth will always be branded in our hearts.
Before Xiaoqian, I didn't believe there would be such a woman in the world. She was dressed in plain clothes and was spotless; her hair was like a waterfall of mercury pouring down the ground; her eyebrows were furrowed and her lips were slightly parted, hiding some sadness and past events that she didn't want to mention. The eyes are like water, not only tenderness, but also many expectations and desires that are not familiar to others. Although she is a female ghost, she is heartbreakingly beautiful like a fairy.
Such a woman just fell in love with an infatuated scholar, someone she shouldn't love. This kind of love is doomed to be fruitless. The love between humans and ghosts is already separated by yin and yang, not to mention that the world and the underworld have the same darkness and injustice.
In this love under heavy pressure, Xiaoqian was cowardly at first. She didn't dare to resist her grandmother, but she couldn't bear to watch her beloved die, so she could only helplessly say beside him: "You are a good person, but You shouldn't come to this place." On the contrary, Ning Caichen, who was played by my brother, showed extraordinary bravery. He was obviously timid, but he fought against the snake in front of Xiaoqian. He ignored Xiaoqian's objection and repeatedly went to the woods. Shout out your lover's name. And when he knew that Xiaoqian was a ghost, he was afraid at first, then accepted the reality, and made up his mind to help his lover escape from the clutches.
Xiaoqian, who is also encouraged by love, also boldly challenges her destiny. At this point in the story, an incarnation of justice was needed, so Yan Chixia appeared. With the help of this person, Ning Nie resisted against her grandmother and the old black mountain demon. On the other hand, this mana powerful old man became a witness of Ning Nie's love.
The climax of the film takes place in the inn on the journey. Ning Nie and Nie hug each other, only a pair of backs are left on the empty screen, and a voice comes: "But, we will be separated from now on as soon as the sun rises, God, please don't. Bright". Immediately, flowers scattered, moonlight scattered, figures scattered, tenderness, helplessness, sadness turned into a jar of fine wine, from the mouth to the bottom of the heart, never thought that life can be so hearty.
At the end of the film, it is also in the inn. The scholar is leaning on the wooden board, and his beloved is behind him, but he can't turn his head and can only cry: Xiaoqian, go back quickly, don't let the sun shine on you••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• After a long while, another voice sounded: She has left.
They are really gone.
Wang Zuxian left, she was tired of life here, she went to the other side of the ocean alone, so determined. Just like Xiao Qian outside the window, she drifted into the distance as soon as the wind blew, and when the window was closed, she realized that she had left us forever without leaving a trace.
The older brother also left, the older brother was tired of this world, so he went to a place far away from the world and never looked back.
In an instant, I found that Xiaoqian's age was really far away from us, too many lost things could not be recovered, the memories of the past were fragmented, and there was only one thing left in this world that is unforgettable - classics.
Twenty years later, all the people at that time are no longer young, and in a few days, there will be a new "A Chinese Ghost Story" released.
The director is still Tsui Hark, and Xiaoqian and the scholar have been replaced by other people. They are different from each other. I miss them too much and don't know how to release them. I just want to say to my brother and Zu Xian: "I really miss you." ,
An inch of blue silk worrying about the Chinese New Year.
Looking at each other in the shape of the moon,
I only envy the mandarin ducks and not the immortals.
