We're gonna sing a slow song, a slow, slow song

one.

Many scenes in the film are of the gray sky and dust in a small town in Jiangxi. It was so cold outside, people were wearing padded jackets, dancing outside and making dumplings at home. At the beginning, it was distributed to friends, everyone laughed and ate happily. I made it later for my son to eat, and then I wrapped it by myself, and no one shared it. A very new and very new antique building stands in the sand, the appearance is ancient, and the paint is bright red and green. It looks like it, standing in the new era, trying to keep up with the changes in society. The same is true of people. They have a mobile phone, live in a bungalow, and send their children abroad, but they are still simple people who speak a pure dialect. If you call your mother, you should call your mother, not your mother. Who taught you? Don't bring that masculine scarf. We are always catching up with the material, but the spirit is still stuck in the same place. This kind of contradiction makes people not know what to do. You envy the swimming pools and yachts on TV, and watch videos of beautiful and handsome guys on your mobile phone, but sometimes you miss the old "city spring and grass and trees".

When the American brother came to China to sing KTV, he didn't understand why Chinese people like to sit there and sing sad love songs, they like to jump and dance pop songs. I originally thought it was just an aesthetic difference in music, but then I thought, because we sometimes like to stay in the past, we think it's a kind of beauty. China has so much history and so many beautiful verses that make people look to the past, and they can't finish reading them. You, America, are built on a new era, don't you always have to greet the future with joy? We were walking, walking fast, sometimes looking back. But life has become too fast, and if you are not careful, you will travel a hundred and eight thousand miles. When I really couldn't keep up, my mother said, don't take the plane and high-speed rail, and take you to a very slow car, so that I can accompany you more.

Before watching the movie, when I woke up at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the house was empty, and I suddenly wanted to find someone to talk to. Many people from the past have appeared in the short afternoon dreams, and have experienced many things very tired but can't remember a single one. When I woke up, I found that the setting sun was shining in the room, the light and shadow were mottled, and the hot summer wind came into the room along the screen door and stopped, and the humid and hot before night made me feel lonely. pushed to a high level.

So the second biggest touch of "Old Man in Mountains and Rivers" is the loneliness that appears all the time in the film. The mother who smiled so charmingly and loved life ended up making dumplings by herself in the end; Jinsheng, who worked hard to make money and made a lot of money, found that he still did not integrate into the new society when he walked on the road with a tea cup; The heart generation who grew up in a superior environment always has a gap in their hearts that they can't fill; after years of marriage, the female teacher did not expect that one day the lawyer hired by the man would ruthlessly calculate the living expenses. Later, people who can understand each other and will heal each other's scars met, but it was the wrong time. The age gap was so overwhelming that I cried again.

"The Old Man of the Mountains and Rivers" reminded me of Colonel Aureano in "One Hundred Years of Solitude". Life is so lonely in the end, but even if it happens again, people will still make the choices at that time. Marry and have children with promising people, and send their children to study in places with better conditions. Repeatedly making the goldfish in your hand, dismantling it, dismantling it and doing it, this is how life is supposed to go.

May we encourage you to move forward when you are alone!
