I went to look around in Taipei, but there was no news.
Ah Qian has long teeth, his smile is very good-looking, and his eyes are very similar to the fourth uncle. Come home for a walk if you have time.
The weather is getting colder in September. The mango blossoms are blooming, and the mountains are white as snow.
Ah Qian is the only sustenance for Kuan Mei to survive. In such turbulent times, being alive is the greatest luxury. Looking at the family in the photo, I thought they could stay together for a long time and never be separated again, but the wide and beautiful letter, with such low and plain language, broke my last warm yearning.
Why, not give the audience a little hope? I am too naive.
They thought about escaping, but where could they go?
Ah Qian, who was babbling, was moving awkwardly just now, but at the moment when the shutter was pressed, he actually showed the cutest smile. How could he know that when he was young, this was the farewell to his father in this life!
No wailing, no crying, just wailing.
The big era seems to be invisible, but it is so specific and subtle that it is implemented on everyone's body, creating countless invisible blood blisters.
Wen Qing could neither hear nor speak. In the face of the times, he was speechless and silent. When his companions were discussing the fate of Taiwan and the chaotic political situation at the wine table, he was just by the side, talking about music and literature with Kuan Mei on the letterhead.
The physical defect gave Wenqing freedom instead, he escaped the war, but not the times.
In prison, his companions were shot one after another. The fear of waiting for death tormented Wen Qing. He was lucky enough to be released from prison, and he often curled up in a corner alone, suspicious.
My life is no longer my own, I want to live for the sacrifice of my companions. What should I do with Kuan Mei, who is always watching?
The eldest brother Wenxiong was killed by the gang, and the third brother Wenliang went to the underworld and was thrown into prison and beaten into a crippled person. The second brother was drafted into the army, and there has been no news since then. Today, only Wen Qing, who is deaf and mute, is left alone. For the sake of his family, he has to start a family, get married and have children, and pass on the incense.
The camera is always looking from a distance, in the empty mountains, people are so small and powerless, and the panorama and medium shots are the most important language. Although it is such an ups and downs and sad life, there has never been too dramatic editing and presentation.
Silence and restraint in the East? It's just a bystander, what can I do other than bystander? Chinese landscape painting emphasizes integration with nature. The majestic mountains are only dotted with passing donkey teams and farmers chopping firewood.
In turbulent times, individuals are powerless puppets.
Kuanmei's diary tells her feelings in simple words. Neighbors say prices are soaring and livelihoods are difficult. But I don't think that as long as Wen Qing and Ah Qian are by my side, I feel at ease and happy.
Such a small prayer is not allowed by the times!
In the final shot, the family sits at the dinner table to eat. Where is this family? Only the eldest son of the old father, the demented Wen Liang and Wen Xiong.
The wheels of the times are rolling over, and there are too many chaos that make us yearn to be together, but once it comes to us, we can only bear it silently. It doesn't matter, after all, I am not the only one. Do you say this is numbness, degeneration, or a last resort?
The music sounds, people and things in the sad city, let's not talk about it!
