Sun Yat-sen's words express the essence of revolution.
"October Siege" is the finale of this year's Chinese film, except for the stars, big scenes and publicity, more because of its connotation. From childhood to adulthood, I have watched countless "revolutionary propaganda films", but few of them are about the real "revolution", and most of them are piles of false slogans and doctrines.
The revolution in "October Siege" makes people feel chills down their spines, but they have to admit that in reality, the real revolutionaries who strive for lofty ideals are only a few at the top of the pyramid, and more are the three religions Gathered together for different purposes to give it a go - some for revenge, some for revenge, some for self-redemption, some to protect important people, some just out of loyalty... Everyone is actually for the sake of Fight on their own, but this force comes together and unconsciously becomes the driving force behind the wheel of history.
Mao Zedong said: "Revolution is not a dinner party, an essay, a painting or embroidery. It cannot be so elegant, unhurried, gentle, gentle, courteous and thrifty. A revolution is a riot, a violent action by one class to overthrow another class." The form is actually the old saying that has existed since ancient times: "One will succeed and ten thousand bones will die." Even those scholars and revolutionaries with the most lofty ideals may not necessarily become the real pickers of the fruits of the revolution in the end. History has long proven that the results of the revolution are ultimately received by the "heroes" who are proficient in power and tactics. As for the people who have made huge sacrifices for it, they are just replacing a ruler for themselves. If they are a little better than the previous master, they are lucky.
Li Yutang has a conscience, understands justice, and makes a revolution by himself, but he does everything in front of him to prevent his son from making a revolution. I feel sorry for the young and vigorous son, but he insists on being the "cannon fodder" of the revolution... Looking back at the century-old "revolution" process today, I can't help but feel sorry for him.
Che Guevara died, his "revolution" was extinguished, but generations of young people still remember him as a spiritual example, that's enough.
