In fact, I was hesitant to recommend this movie. Because there are at least two troubles that make it difficult for me to decide. The first is the love story that runs through the film. This love actually does not conform to the traditional ethics of Christianity. The second is that the movie is very, very heavy, from the sunny day to the cold winter and snowy night, until the hero is shot and killed, until the heroine grows old alone. I don't want to block you all as we celebrate the victory of Christ. But in the end I decided to recommend it to everyone, mainly for two more important reasons. First, the film's record of love is honest and can heal the hypocrisy with Chinese (church) characteristics. Second, this film is a classic, allowing us to understand the Orthodox Church and its history related to China from a new perspective. I love this movie more than any other movie. It's not just the photography that is beautiful, it's mostly that I lament the film's honest memory of tragedy. From a human point of view, our Lord Jesus Christ was a tragedy on earth, although the final resurrection turned it all upside down. Tai Desheng said that the preacher is a scaffold, and after the house is built, he will be pulled out by jealous people and beheaded to the public, or stepped under his feet to go up the stairs. Kolchak is a tragic hero, but not a tragedy in the secular sense. Or that his life was not a tragedy at all: he gave his life for his ideals and beliefs. The greatest tragedy in life is that you live somewhere else to the point of death. From the Virgin of Kazan to the icon of Job, these props have revealed the trajectory of Kolchak's life: God blesses him, but in the end, like Job, he will be sent into suffering and death until the eternity of resurrection. What struck me in particular was the continuous eastward travel on the Trans-Siberian Railway. This is the train of fate, and we know it leads to death and martyrdom, but we can't stop it when we reach out. This is a mission that must be lived to the death. This reminds me of what the Lord Jesus said to Peter: "I tell you the truth, when you were young, you wore your own belt and went about as you wished, but when you are old, stretch out your hand, and others will bind you. go where you do not want to go” (John 21:18). God has bound us as living sacrifices, and struggle and resistance are ineffective. On the contrary, you are to be obedient and go with joy. Another well-known incident of consignment of sacrifices is recorded in the Bible: "They went to the place which God had shown, and Abraham built an altar there, and laid out the wood, and bound Isaac his son, and laid it on the wood of the altar" (Genesis 22: 9). And it's hard for us to understand this sacrificial journey on our own, unless we keep trusting the promise along the way: "Abraham named the place Jehovah Jireh (meaning the Lord will provide), and to this day it is said that in the Provisions shall be made on the mountain of the LORD" (Genesis 22:14). A train bound for the Far East, love and faith fell to the ground in a row of bullets, or set off. Love without an end bears witness to a religious reverence, perhaps God's grace or love is what it is. This train is heading for me, more than 5,000 kilometers, and the destination is Lake Baikal and Irkutsk. Further east is my hometown. I saw myself get up from where Kolchak fell and saw the train continue east. The glacier began to break up, until the Sophia Cathedral in Harbin. Tickets are on sale at the Harbin Architectural Art Museum. I prayed silently in the crowd, looking up to the sky and sighing. The flock of pigeons spun and landed in the haze, and I heard a voice: The kingdom of heaven is near, you should repent. Then my closest relatives plucked out that warm bullet from Kolchak's body, shot me in the back, and the bullet went through the chamber, leaving blood on the steps of the church. A thistle flower, very beautiful, very beautiful, soaring with wings.
