roots?
This was the first question that came to my mind after watching "The Horse Rod".
Can a child who has been lost for a long time find his way home?
In the face of the impact of the Western world and our own man-made destruction, we seem to be facing a estrangement in history. This is a big river looking at the opposite border, with thick fog floating on the river, looking at the roots of the culture and history opposite, We looked a little lost and overwhelmed. There are three generations in "Horse Set", old and young. From the helplessness and unwillingness of the old age, the struggle for revival of the middle and young generations, and the confusion of the younger generation and the choice of a strong culture, all witness the loss of Mongolian national culture.
In a scene at the beginning of the film, the child asks his father, "We are all Mongolians, why is Uncle Wang Biao Chinese?" Wear traditional Mongolian clothes and don't slaughter cattle and sheep. They are the same family, but they are far apart like people from two worlds. More and more Wang Biao's uncles have been sinicized and westernized, and there are still many who stick to a piece of pure land belonging to the Mongolian people like the hero.
Going back to the latter part of that interesting sentence, the hero replied to his son, "Of course we are Mongolians, but we are Mongolians living in China." The Mongolians living in China, why didn't he say that we live in Mongolia Chinese people? What is this concept? 1. China is a multi-ethnic country, the Han nationality is the majority, and there are 55 ethnic minorities. Fundamentally, because they are "minority", they are also at a disadvantage. The "family planning" insisted by the wife in the city (remember to buy condoms when calling the male protagonist to go to the city) and "the fourth child will be born, and the last child's name is Temujin" insisted by the male protagonist, the difference between the two The head-to-head confrontation also shows that the roots of the nation are clamoring for resistance to the strong national civilization. Although it was a pointless resistance later (the last child Temujin was still sinicized and westernized).
2. In this world, many revolutionaries and politicians continue to divide this world by force and so-called peace agreements. This world is divided by national borders. But cultures and nations are not separated by national boundaries, they are based on regions, topography, climate, genes... Gomba actually realizes that he is actually different from the people in the city, but he can't help but wonder, we are not all Are they the descendants of Genghis Khan? Why are people's living habits and living environment so different, like two different nationalities, and what makes him unwilling is that the eldest son would rather choose the toys brought by his mother from the city than his father for him A beautiful red-nosed dragonfly caught. The younger generation has also made their choice. At this time, "Genghis Khan" also had to lower his noble head.
After talking about the Mongolian people, let's talk about our roots. But where to start, I only know that I am Han nationality, Confucian Taoism and our traditional clothing - Hanfu. Today's Han civilization history is like a friend who has no news to us. You want to know something about him, but you always cut off contact with him and lose the opportunity to understand. From the founding of New China to the present, the period in modern history has been horrific, and the countless "revolts against the establishment of Confucian stores" are enough to cut off our main roots, resulting in a generation of confusion and lack of belief.
