Then I remembered the four of us cycling from Shanghai to Beijing in the summer of 1998. I was only 21 years old at that time, younger than Che in the movie.
Now I am 29. Zheng and Chi's companion, Granado, is one year old. This also means that it would not be too late if I had another journey like this now. Yes, I'm only 29, not yet 30 years old.
After watching this movie, I want to go on the road again.
It just so happened that when I was sorting the cabinets last night, I found out the photos taken while on the road in 1998. At that time, I was very different from now.
In fact, I never thought about watching this movie, because Che's name is constantly being mentioned, and I'm already a little bored. Later, I watched "Bad Education", and later learned that Che in "Motor Diary" was played by the beautiful boy in "Bad Education", so I suddenly wanted to look for it again.
After reading it, it is difficult to associate the cut inside with the revolutionary leader Che Guevara who is often seen in the pictures with a big beard, a cigar, and a general belly. Only at the end of the film, when he and Granado said "the world is too unjust and injustice" when they separated, could he vaguely see some of his future figures.
I often think that a person like Che had a superior life and a beautiful girlfriend, but he was willing to give up all this and live a life in the jungle, eventually being persecuted to death. What a strong belief this requires.
Of course, the film does not express too much how the people are suffering and how deep the feelings are. On the contrary, the style of the film is often relaxed and humorous, which just avoids making this film a preaching film. But certain fragments, such as the communist couple they met, and their conversation with the farmers in Peru, became the finishing touch of the film. When I saw him throw stones at the mine owner's truck, I felt a familiar feeling. This feeling may be called youth or passion.
But in fact, if I only look at these superficial phenomena reflected in the film, it is difficult for me to understand what motivated Che Hui to become a revolutionary leader a few years later.
revolution. Is revolution needed at all times? After watching this video, I began to think about this problem.
When I saw Che swimming across the river desperately on his birthday night, I was moved.
Is this pure impulse? In this SB era where everyone would say "impulse is the devil", would anyone have such "impulsiveness"? At this time, I was thinking whether I would do such a thing. Yes, please don't say "I am very touched" or "I admire". Please think about what you would do. Please reflect on your pale, boring, meaningless life.
When the current "allies" repeatedly compare whether hiking shoes are high-quality and whether backpacks are brand-name in order to climb a low mountain, more than 50 years ago, a 24-year-old boy and a 29-year-old man had already been riding a full car. It was a faulty old motorcycle that set off, and it took more than 10,000 kilometers to walk.
This is the difference between revolutionaries and mediocre people.
Recalling that in 1998, in the old district of Yimeng Mountain, I saw a young female teacher in the country walk into a simple elementary school with a group of children. I didn't talk to her at that time, which is what I regret most now.
