In the movie, I recalled the scene where Wang Qianyuan was laughed at by Jiang Wu and never touched a woman. Wang asked him how he felt, but Jiang refused to tell him, asking him to exchange his whole pack of cigarettes. Wang refused at first, saying the cigarette was his life. On the last night in the Sixing warehouse, Wang threw the cigarette to Jiang Wu and begged him to tell him. Jiang described it vividly, and Wang sighed after listening to it. If there is an afterlife, he must taste it. However, where is the afterlife for people? This scene made me sad, I wondered if Wang came to this world in vain.
The people of an era have the mission of an era. Every war hero has his own value. The knife played by Li Jiuxiao was originally a gangster. Without this battle, the knife would have been his "little hooligan", helping Sister Rong guard the casino, and live a mediocre and peaceful life. The moment he rushed to the bridge, he felt that his life had a different value. For the sake of righteousness and the country, he does not consider his own life. "Hujiangtang, junior, petition with a knife! I'm willing to give it a try!" These words were powerful, and at that moment, his whole body was glowing.
In the film, I put a lot of focus on children. Wang Qianyuan said, if you have money, give it to my mother. He asked reporter Fang to take a picture of him and send it to his hometown. Who is not a mother's child? Wang Qianyuan has already changed from a child to a big man. Because of the war, he has never touched a woman, and he always misses his mother. This iron man is very heroic in the war. The contradiction between this character makes people sad.
A few boys who came from the concession, still looking like students, said that they wanted to join the army, and the land was clean and white, and they died not long after. The feasting British Concession is a paradise on earth, echoing the hell on the other side of the Suzhou River. The wives of those rich families take their children to and fro on the road, eating and dressing well, and the children are running around on the road, very innocent. Reminds me of Feng Zikai once asked his son what he likes the most. The son said that he likes "escape" the most. The escape in the eyes of the child is "father, mother, brother and aunt together, everyone will go to see the big ship by car." There was a lot of noise on the road, as if playing a game.
They may not have known that the Japanese planes flew overhead not long after, and the artillery shells that they said would not cross the border still flew into the concession. There are casualties every day, and deaths happen every moment. Years of war merely accelerated the process of dying in years of peace.
I re-read "Lotus" in the past two days, and excerpted passages from the book: "Everyone should write a suicide note in advance, because people can die at any time. However, many people are blindfolded, thinking that they will live forever without damage, or even immortal. They believe that they will always have time in their hands. They can be reckless, do wasteful and regretful things. Always think that there is a chance to meet again."
I like the last scene of the movie. Today’s Sixing Warehouse is hidden under the prosperity of Shanghai. Not far away is Pudong, which is changing with each passing day. I looked for the approximate location of my home in the picture. But I can't see the place where the Pearl of the Orient, where there is my baby, with small hands and feet as bright as camellias. Who gave us such a life. Everyone wants to be important in contemporary society, and I just want to shine a small but firm light.
Salute to every martyr.
