I miss it and can't go back: the coal in Liang Zi's lungs, the money in Jin Sheng's hand, and the snow on Shen Tao's temples

After work last night, I went to see the late-night show. When I got home, I ran and climbed to catch the last subway. However, in my mind, I reminisce about some clips in the movie with relish: such as the feature film that only entered 30 minutes after the opening, such as the crashed plane and the mother and son who burned paper to pay homage, such as the line spoken by Zhang Aijia at the end of the movie, and There is the English name of the movie "Mountains May Apart".

The beginning of the movie was a lively song and dance, but it lasted for nearly 30 minutes. I still wondered why I entered the feature film without seeing the name of the movie. This trick is really cool.

The entanglements of Liang Zi, Jin Sheng and Shen Tao are the main line, and the 26-year life is a snap. Everything that was supposed to happen happened: get married and have children, leave home, emigrate abroad, separate, relatives pass away, and life goes on as usual. The water of the Yellow River freezes when it should freeze every year, and flows when it should flow. Nothing is eternal, but not everything is changed by time.

When I came back from such a big circle, six words were deeply imprinted in my mind: I miss it and can't go back. This is especially true for people of my age.

In 1999, when I had just entered junior high school, I was no longer treated as a child, and gradually I was able to come into contact with more aspects of society. Discos, video stores, Cantonese songs, the return of Macau, the price of coal has risen by another 100 per ton... The vibrant flow of people and the rapid changes in the streets have rapidly enriched material and spirit. In a huge collective excitement, every Everyone seems to be young again.

I miss that vibrant era, just as I miss the small county where I grew up. Whenever I go back during the New Year and festivals, I always go to the elementary school I used to go to, the alley where I ate fried skewers, the game hall where I played the King of Fighters, and the flower bed where the bottle filled with snow was buried. The outside world is changing every day, but the county seems to be outside the world and retains the imprint of many times. You will find that the beauty that you didn't know to cherish when you were young is still almost intact today after you have grown up. But you can only pay tribute, you can only miss it, you can only stay out of it, and you cannot return to that world.

As soon as the camera turned, it entered 2014. The flowering and breeding of the previous 15 years finally reached a staged inventory: life forty. Forty is a hurdle, enough to divide your life for most people. The 40-year-old three protagonists also symbolize three social classes. Whether you are struggling or jumping, the 40-year-old still comes quietly, like a long-predicted ending, you can't move -

Liangzi returned to his ancestors in Fenyang with his wife and children due to the invasion of pneumoconiosis The house, was pressed on the bed and could not move.

Shen Tao lost her son due to divorce. As a woman who was both successful and unsuccessful in the eyes of the world, she was locked in a small town and could not move.

Jin Sheng, on the other hand, was forced to stay in Australia because of his previous gray behavior and traveled far away, unable to speak the language and helpless. What happened to these three people is not a portrayal of today's society.

However, this is life, no matter whether you miss it or hate it, it always leaves you with a turbulent age, leaving you with a smile that you have experienced but needless to say.

The ending of the film also completely echoes the beginning. In the heavy snow 26 years later, Shen Tao, who has gray hair on his temples, untied the dog leash and threw it to the ground, repeating the dance 26 years ago with the faint music in his mind. , the pavilion and Wenfeng Pagoda in the distance are still there, as if to indicate a huge and real eternity, where there are her memories, her youth, and everything she misses and cannot return.
