Hoh Xil, a beautiful place. "Kekexili", belief blown from a gust of wind and sand.
There are two scenes that I didn't dare to watch, one is the rabbit drinking blood with its fur, and the other is Liu Dong's death in quicksand. I thought it was a desperate fight to protect the Tibetan antelope, but it wasn't. Life, humanity, interests, brotherhood, truth, faith, everything is there, and everything is just there. The bright starry sky within reach, the vast snow-capped mountains, the desert with wind and sand, the lonely smoke in the desert, the birds in the sunset, the flocks of Tibetan sheep, Hoh Xil, this is the only place where I can see the beautiful scenery but cannot be fascinated. Because a worldly heart cannot be washed away just because of one trip. At one time, I didn't understand why they volunteered to guard the Tibetan antelope herd. In fact, I had such a question, but it was because I looked at the problem of spiritual crisis with a "living" mentality. Tibetans are with their homeland. Although the celestial burial at the beginning of the film seems cruel to us, it is a way for them to return to nature. The Tibetan antelope is also a part of the faith. The purity and sanctity of Hoh Xil are not allowed to be defiled by killing and corpses.
"We didn't compile". A harsh sentence. I also want to have a job with programming, ask me why, I don't know, I just know it's good. Like a needle stabbing me. Now, no classes, no work, no fun. This is in the state of life, no, this state of mind, the state of mind, stems from my lack of belief and no soul. The clothes in the wardrobe, the cosmetics on the desktop, the editor's circle of friends, the shopping cart of Taobao, they modify the skin, it will only become heavier and heavier, overwhelm the already confused heart, and destroy the soul that is unable to stand. Think of San Mao's words, "If the heart has no place to live, it will be a wanderer wherever it goes." Ritai always blesses everyone's life and death lightly. I don't know if this is due to the calmness that they have cultivated from years of patrolling the mountains, or because in their eyes, life is not something worth paying attention to. Lu Chuan's film is his famous work, at least one of his most famous films. It even made me think that Lu Chuan would never be able to make "Kekexili". I am afraid that the "fateful stalk" between man and nature has long been chewed up, and those white-collar workers who are looking for a pure land of the soul are flocking to Tibet, but they are only filling up the circle of friends, and they are still empty when they return. I am also a layman, greedy for the beautiful things in the world, if one day I can be pure enough to put my life aside, just pursue my own heart and guard my beliefs. Then you can no longer wander.
