Africa - not only blood red soil
The birth of a planet to its destruction is an extremely long process. During this period, countless changes have taken place inside the planet. Take the earth as an example. From the original whole continent through geological evolution to the six major plates today, everything is changing, people's living environment is changing, customs are changing, habits are changing, but the only thing that remains unchanged is human nature. In our eyes, the red soil of Africa is mostly full of hunger, greed, darkness and helplessness. As someone who lives in a relatively happy place, I once thought that God did not do justice when dividing the continent, but after reading this After the film, I suddenly realized that the situation around the world today, in addition to a little geographical factors, may be more about the depth and shallowness of the expression of human nature.
In the time when the story in this film takes place, civil war is the theme of some African countries year after year, the competition for wealth and the greed for money are constantly looting this piece of land that should be pure, see whether we should look back Thinking maybe these are the real manifestations of each of us, but Africa ruthlessly shows all this to the world with the behavior of its own people, bloody display of the darkness of human nature, in this aspect, it is better than other plates , it does not have the cover and hypocrisy of the human nature by the gorgeous appearance, maybe this is the reason why Sanmao, who has traveled all over the world, went to this hometown of her own soul and Schweitzer went to Africa to find herself. I still remember the teacher in the film who helped the physically and mentally damaged children recaptured from the rebels. He said that he believed in human nature, but it turned out that he was wrong. Of course, we cannot deny this sentence, but Africa may not be simply a nation The barbaric land of cannibalism is not only a piece of blood red soil, but the meaning of TIA (This is Africa.) may not be so limited. It represents the homeland complex of the African people who could not hate it. It is a responsibility and an obligation.
