Don't say "business girls don't know how to hate the country"

A week ago, I read the news and it was reported that Zhang Yimou's Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling was going to be released seven days before the National Day, and the audience who had watched the movie had a good response. I have been listening to relevant reports for the past year, but I have never seen the Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling. , so I searched for the information of this movie on the Internet. It turned out to be about the story of 13 prostitutes during the Nanjing Massacre, which immediately aroused my interest. I asked my classmates in the library to borrow Yan Geling's original novel for me.

Ah, so they are heroes too! Feeling sad after watching it.

The poem of Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu, "The businesswoman does not know the hatred of the country, but she still sings the backyard flowers across the river" should be regarded as the most ruthless words to scold prostitutes, but after reading "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", I think we will never say it again "Businesswomen do not know the hatred of subjugation".

Compared with the real hatred of national subjugation like the Nanjing Massacre, the dark politics of the late Tang Dynasty were nothing to people.

The darkness of the late Tang Dynasty did not affect people's lives and survival. Could it be that because of the political situation, businesswomen don't need to live and play and sing to please customers? ! Do you want them to seek state affairs? In this way, the courtiers at that time, the men in the countryside were not even as good as prostitutes? Who caused such a political situation? Are these prostitutes who don't care about state affairs?

Since ancient times, laughing at the poor and not laughing at prostitutes is not a desperate person, who would step into this situation with no turning back!

Even if you step in, who will destroy the conscience.

At that time, it did not affect the survival of our general public, and we still needed to support ourselves and continue to live.

Look at "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" again, what are they doing in the hatred of the subjugation of the Nanjing massacre. They should really thank Father Ingman and others for taking in them, but they have no reason or obligation to replace those students. On the contrary, it was the actions of Father Ingman and these students that accelerated their tragic fate. In the deadly quiet city of Nanjing, their singing officially accelerated the arrival of the final fate. They are singing for Nanjing, for the dead, not afraid to attract the attention of the Japanese army, humming, it seems that they are not afraid of life and death, and even let us admire their courage, but when the Japanese army "invited" these women. When the students went to celebrate Christmas, when the thirteen kiln sisters took the initiative to replace them, why didn't they have such fearless courage, why didn't they stand up bravely and say to them with contempt, "We don't need you lowly prostitutes to replace us. , you don't deserve it"?

Why didn't you say it now? Are they going to replace you because of the shelter of the American church?

In fact, the novel does not describe how the thirteen yao sisters are righteous and awe-inspiring, and how they stood up bravely, but their simple words moved us deeply

: "Don't they want to listen to singing? I can’t be fooled, anyway, it’s night, I’m afraid it’s okay to pretend to be a female student.”

Mumbled: “They sing every day, we listen to it every day, and we can hear it.”

Yu Sheng: “The tune is good, the word is not good, but our mouths are not stupid. , draw a gourd according to the same."

Hong Ling: "I am not lucky to be a female student, pretending to be a fun

. " . .

In this way, these thirteen kiln sisters with various sharp weapons replaced the female students and went to "celebrate Christmas". At this point, the story came to an abrupt end, and there is no need to say more about the fate behind.

So, don't say anything about business women who don't know how to subjugate the country, that is not the subjugation of the country, but the Nanjing massacre.

In addition, the story also involves the priest of the church, the female students, several wounded Kuomintang soldiers who fled here, etc. All the characters are distinct. Except for the female students who are not familiar with the world, what I dislike the most is for all these people. Father Ingman and Adonado of the church that provided shelter, it is their duty to provide shelter for female students, just like the duty of firefighters to fight fires. It is a righteous act to provide shelter for prostitutes and soldiers. Even if they hesitate in every possible way, we can see the brilliance of their images, but at the end of the story, it makes me see that they are not actually kind.

They didn't treat the value of life equally, didn't respect everyone's right to live, or even fulfilled their duty to protect students, but I'm glad that these prostitutes replaced them, and let me see the despicable side of their humanity.

Just like when our country was dealing with traffic accidents and killing people before, if the victims were migrant workers, they would lose very little money, and if they were urban people, they would lose more money, because the economic value they created for the society was different. , but we do not treat everyone's right to live equally, which is equal and cannot be measured by status.

It's absurd.

So in this play the female student and the priest are the supporting roles, the others are the main characters, and even the church janitor is more noble than the priest.

In the end, there were actually not only thirteen hairpins, but fourteen prostitutes and a little girl named Cardamom, who just advanced their fate.

So don't say it anymore, the business girls don't know the hatred of subjugation, this basin of dirty water has been poured on their heads for too long. When faced with righteousness, everyone has a conscience, including of course prostitutes, they are even more wonderful.
