two hemp ropes were twisted to form a complex, two clues to find people, and the whole picture of the decline of Fengjie County was linked. This secular landscape on the verge of shattering has three thousand years of traditional Chinese culture behind it and the mighty modern Western civilization in front of it. People who are in turmoil can't hear the sound of the hammer, and they have already smashed their past lives; they can't see the rolling water of the Yangtze River, which is about to drown the foundation of tradition. Isn't the world presented in "The Three Gorges" a miniature landscape of contemporary Chinese society?
The flying saucers hovering in the air, the aircraft that set fire to take off, and strange little details are placed in the realistic atmosphere of the film. You can't understand, these mysterious creations from alien planets, where do they come from, and what do they do? It's like you can't understand how a way of life that lasts for thousands of years can be lost in an instant. This is not a natural disaster caused by floods and earthquakes, this is not a man-made disaster caused by wars and explosions. All of this is actually in the name of civilization and development, and in the name of our desire to live a better life.
Fengjie people who are heading for a new era, where should they go? Their homes have fallen, people leave their homes, go to Guangzhou to Liaoning, work for companies, do some manual labor without technical requirements, or follow Sanming to Shanxi, earn 200 yuan a day in blood money; or become hooligans, become bandits, Become the dog leg of the demolition company. Originally, there was an original ecological economic environment that relied on the Yangtze River for shipping and eating on the water, but now the construction of civilization has robbed them of their jobs. Wise you, do you think they will have any better way out?
Even in other parts of the motherland, pure farming can no longer solve the problem of survival, the peasant brothers who are forced to flock to the city, suffer discrimination and indifference in the city, suffer silently or commit crimes, Fengjie people are only their overall situation. Just a microcosm.
Farmers who have lost their land, and sailors who have lost their rivers, the Chinese people have a kind of tenacity since ancient times, and they lived indomitably under difficult circumstances. Some people say that there is always hope in life, but I don't think so. In Chinese people's minds, being able to live in itself is worthy of affirmation. Traditionally, rites and music are taught. Ritual is the fulfillment of the soul in the observance and completion of the rites. Music is the world of art and various spiritual entertainment methods. In a traditionally affirmed life, there is no need to seek satisfaction in search and hope. With etiquette and entertainment, it is enough. Tobacco, wine, tea, and sugar, the four props highlighted in the film are traditional rituals and music, and each protagonist uses them to test and express their relationship with each other.
The two broken families are a metaphor for a broken home. This home that is about to disappear is a metaphor for the current situation in China. Three-fold metaphor, strung with a looking rope, Sanming finds his wife and sees his daughter, his family is torn apart by civilized police, and his daughter is exploited in modern Dongguan. Zhao Tao looked for a husband. This husband is Qiao San in "Ren Xiaoyao". The characters' personal characteristics are basically similar. He is the most capable group of people who are the first to learn the rules of the game in a civilized society. But he is sanctimonious, extremely civilized, and extremely despicable.
