I’ve only written this movie until now, but I’ve seen it ten years ago. At that time I was only in my early twenties, and I knew nothing but the vague poetry, and I didn't remember anything. Ten years after that, I was like those passengers on the ship. I went to some countries, changed many cities, lived in many houses, met many people, talked with them, cooperated, got along with and said goodbye, just like boarding one ship and another. A ship, constantly migrating, after this long ten years, watching 1900 again, I suddenly found that besides poetry, this movie has a lot of things that I haven't understood.
I actually don’t understand why 1900 refused to disembark, just like he didn’t understand us land people: "You people on land, winter is here, you long for summer, summer is here, and you are afraid that winter will come again, so You never tire of traveling, always looking for faraway places, looking for places that are always summer, I don't think this is suitable for me." I asked myself, am I this kind of person? I am probably, then I am looking for the summer, have I found it? I do not know either.
I have been a Christian since I was a child, but for a long time I was probably not a true Christian because I have never understood the values of the Bible. When I was young, I sat in the church and listened to the preacher reading the Bible to us, saying that the church is an ark of doomsday. I felt as if I was not sitting in the church, but in a big rickety ship. , It floats and floats in the dark ocean, and I don't know where it will eventually take me. Yes, the Bible keeps telling us that we are just people who live in the boat, and we don't believe it.
Living on a boat and living on land are two completely different worlds, and of course they also bring about completely different understandings of the world. Those who live on the boat will know that life is only temporary, the real life is not here, they will not expect to have too much, they will not be too greedy, they only need simple things to live, a few clothes, a bed, Knowing where dinner is, you can play the piano and dance happily. The boat is a miniature world, but it is much lighter and naive than the real world.
Living on land is another matter. As the trumpeter said, you have to build yourself a house, find a wife, have some children, fight for your position in this world, fight for fame, fight for wealth, and fight for things that you can own for a long time. There are endless possibilities on land, so how can you be satisfied with being a person with nothing? When you enter a treasure mountain, how can you just take nothing but sit in it and play the piano? You have the responsibility to do something, have something, and become something. Otherwise, you are a loser, this is the philosophy of land.
1900 knew this well. Although he had never gotten off a boat, the whole world and people from the land passed by him time and time again. He knew what these people were after and what they wanted, so he Also know that it is just an illusion. Infinity is an illusion, something that we think we can really have, but never get, because life is inherently finite. Zhuangzi said: "My life has bounds, and knowledge has no bounds. If there is no bounds, there is no bounds." The meaning of 1900 is similar to what Zhuangzi wants to say.
As I get older, I’m more and more willing to admit that people don’t actually need to have so many substances. This may be different from many middle-aged people. It seems that after this age, people seem to have material desires that are becoming more and more intense. Indulging in these games, some are active and some are passive. In the minds of the Chinese people, the five sons, the house, the car, the wife and the child, are in the end owned by you, or will they become your burden?
I sometimes hear friends say that he has found something good or bought something expensive, and he doesn't feel as envious as he was when he was young, so he wants it. The first reaction is often is this really needed, even if he doesn't?
In 1900, there was nothing, he really came and went naked, didn't possess anything, and was not possessed by anything. He doesn’t exist. Except for his fleeting beautiful music, besides his indulgent life, he brings nothing, leaves nothing, he doesn’t need to exist, he doesn’t need to be Remember, he doesn't feel sorry, he doesn't try to leave any traces on this earth, all his meaning is in the process.
The girl’s father once said that he heard the cry of the sea, which is an infinite possibility, telling you that you can go farther and get everything you want, that voice, probably everyone has heard it, we are called It "dreams". When 1900 saw the girl, he also heard the shout, and the voice came from the land, from the city, and from the girl's parting invitation. It was like hearing the singing of a mermaid, he wanted to leave his boat to get those possibilities and those infinite, and want to get something long and solid. However, there was always a voice deep in his heart telling it that it was not really long.
People always think that only land is home and a place of stability, but is land really stable? You may be able to step on a solid ground with your feet, but your fate is still tossing like ocean waves. Who dares to say that he is as solid as a rock? Who dares to say that he must see the sun tomorrow? Although living on the sea in 1900, his fate was as simple as solid land. He didn't feel anxious, nor did he intend to grab more. The ocean keeps him stable, and the land makes him dizzy. The land is endless, seemingly free, seemingly strong, but there is actually the dark sea that stimulates people's comparison and greed.
What is truly stable in a short and volatile life? This is the case, but there are not many people who can see this essence clearly and are willing to live their lives with this attitude. They are willing not to get it, and they are alone. They are satisfied just by giving people the most beautiful music at sea. There are not many people like this. . Many people didn't realize this until they were middle-aged. Perhaps it was the struggle that finally surfaced until they were suffocated. Like a painter among the moon and sixpence, he finally escaped from the land to the sea.
1900 also reminded me of the apostle Paul. Paul was a man who decided to walk from land to ship. He used to have everything stable on land. He was a Roman citizen. He worshipped a famous teacher and had a great future in gaining fame and wealth. He But threw everything away like crazy, and ran to the boat.
He had nothing for the rest of his life. He had no money for the house, car, wife, and children. He got on the boat just like that, set off from the port of Caesarea, and has been on the boat ever since, drifting through countless places, and never lived a stable life. Now when we talk about Paul, we always think of those sailing boats. In the picture, his footprints will eventually become his legacy to us, just like the music left by 1900.
When did 1900 decide to live like this? Maybe it was when he was a child, when he watched the sea in the middle of the night through the porthole, and went back and forth between the two sides of the strait, he understood that life is like a rebellious journey. I have seen too many Yixiang temples, and too many moments in the end... Since then, others are afraid of seeing the end, and he is no longer afraid of the end.
He is willing to live in finiteness. He understands that it is because there is an end that it is valuable, it is because there is a limit that there is freedom, and it is because of separation and death that there is cherishment and reluctance, and he readily accepts Life has an end, and what a person can have also has an end. He never tries to deny and deceive himself, but this is what we deceive ourselves every day. It is precisely because he clearly sees this finiteness that he knows that many seemingly valuable things are actually not that valuable. There is nothing that cannot be let go or disappear, as Gong Er said in "The Great Master": "If you die, you will die. So many good things are dead. Why can't I die?" Even you If you think you can't die, you will still die.
Qin Shihuang tried to find immortality, he was immersed in hallucinations and refused to wake up, he refused to die. But even if the power is overwhelming like him, we still have to face death in the end. The devil has deceived us and made us think that we can have infinity.
We, who are addicted to the prosperous world of Ninefold, are never more free than 1900. We want to have infinity, but we are in prison. We listen to too many stories like this. Do you choose to be a finite gear in infinity, or to be an infinite player in finiteness? The infinity promised to us by Infinity is the real infinity, or is it an illusion that tricks you into devoting the precious decades of your life to it? Are you sure you have not become a slave to this infinite illusion?
The devil once took Jesus to the highest place, showed him the glory of the nations of the world, and said to him, "May I give you all of this?" For an ordinary person, we will probably be ecstatic, because we always think that to have is to have forever. The more we have, the more power and freedom we have. But Jesus refused, because he knew that the visible infinity was just a gleaming golden rope that was tightening. So he would rather be restricted, restricted in humbleness, restricted in poverty, restricted in the painful and weeping flesh, restricted in the cross, but in all these restrictions, he shines light. , The light penetrated thousands of years and shined into my heart accurately. He reached the infinity in the finite and became the real infinity.
1900 said: "If the keyboard is infinite, you cannot play on that keyboard because you are sitting on the wrong bench. This is God's piano." As the Bible says, there is only one original sin, that is, you think you can As infinite as God, you can’t see your own finiteness, so that you always want to grab God’s piano bench and play the piano that you can’t play. You always don’t want to admit it, you just live in a boat. It's only on the boat. This journey may be a bit long, but it will come to an end. It is limited.
So, sit on your piano bench and play your own piano. You can see where the keys start and where they end. The piano is limited, it has only 88 keys, and you may not be able to live. By 88 years.
