Viewing: At 20:30 on December 25, 2009, I
accompanied students from National Taiwan University to visit the former residence of Sun Yat-sen in Shanghai at the beginning of the month of the Peaceful Movie Metropolis in Shanghai. The students from Taiwan asked me what I thought of Sun Yat-sen. Sir, I said that we thought he was the father of the nation. A slight surprise flashed on the faces of my Taiwanese friends, and a slight panic flashed in my heart. It seems that there is no such clear evaluation of Mr. Sun in the orthodox textbooks. , and I have such a realization in my heart? Then she asked me about my opinion of Chiang Kai-shek. I said that I think his contribution to the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was worthy of recognition. Then she asked me about the political figures in Taiwan that I admired the most. I said that I personally like Chiang Ching-kuo and admire his ideals. and his courage. From her slightly surprised and agreeable smile, I feel that our relationship has grown a lot closer. Of course this is off topic.
Watching "October Siege", because I know the fate of everyone's death, I am even more shocked to see it, especially the literary drama with very real life details in the first half. Sacrifice one by one, people actually shed tears of reluctance in the warm, normal and warm human life. I know why Chen Kexin wants to rebuild Central in 1905 at all costs, because he wants all this not just history, but real life. It is difficult to explain clearly the identities of the characters, the complex character relationships and the intertwined feelings of the characters in a limited time. But the director did it, building a group portrait full of life details based on real life scenes. Xiaosi's pure feelings for Ayun are fine even if she is disabled; Chongyang and Yueru's complicated love and hate; Li Yutang's respect and righteousness for beggar Yu Bai every day; Li Yutang and Chongguang's father-son relationship and the troupe leader and daughter father-daughter love. The simplest and most normal relationships and feelings in the human world are either too good to be broken, or so real that people feel that they need more time and opportunities to heal. They should not be the time to end. It has just sprouted, but all this has come to an end, that is, the outbreak of history.
This film made me feel great sadness because there is a paradox hidden in my heart: every life is equal, no matter how humble or great, no one can exchange the life of others for their own survival. This is also the huge paradox hidden in this film. But history is so fateful, let’s look at those people, the coachman who is loyal to his boss and wants to marry a disabled woman, the beggar who fell in love with a woman he shouldn’t love and left his family in exile, the one who was exiled with his father and longed to return home The daughter, the reckless man who was expelled from Shaolin, the young man who had a bright future and embraced his ideals, and the father who finally chose to use his life to erase his image in his daughter's heart. what is the relationship? They are not real revolutionaries, they just have unrelated beliefs in love, loyalty, and family affection. Why can't they just settle down and get a little happiness in the march of time? Why take the train to death? But the huge vortex of history still swept them up, and finally made these people move towards a so-called noble faith that maybe they could not understand even after death. Some of them didn't even know who they were protecting in the end, but For the short one hour that history can move forward without hindrance, he died in the most tragic way all the way.
This is the weaving of history, weaving ordinary people on his way forward, and everyone is a stepping stone under his wheel, just as Zhongguang said in the film, "All China is involved, can I stay out of it?" . The indifference of history makes people deeply hopeless and powerless. The value of the flash of individual life is icy inlaid on the nameless tombstone of history, and I can't help but shed tears.
"When I close my eyes, it is China's tomorrow." After tomorrow there is another tomorrow, and history never stops. The happiness of the sacrifice of the believers shows the greatness of the sacrifice of the unbelievers.
