But now, there is only this dilapidated school, without the sound of father teaching.
At that moment, as a son, I understood.
The love that everyone tells as a story is true. It is not a story, but the simplest and simplest love between father and mother.
China, Sanhetun.
's mother Zhaodi (Zhang Ziyi) was the most beautiful girl in the village when she was young. She was dressed in a red padded jacket, braided in twists, and she was full of youth.
Grandpa died early, only mother and grandma depended on each other. Grandma
wanted to find a good relationship for her mother, but her mother always looked down on it.
Just like Zhang Ailing said, when I met that person among millions of people, there was no one step earlier or one late.
In the autumn of that year, my mother met his father Luo Changyu (played by Zheng Hao) who came to the village to teach.
stubborn love at first sight.
From then on, the mother's eyes began to follow the young teacher closely.
Like all the little girls who fall in love, she pursues the people she likes in her own way.

When building a school, every day changes the pattern to make delicious, use blue and white porcelain bowl as a noteNo. I hope my father can eat it.
In order to create an encounter with the father, the mother waited on the way his father sent the students.
Just like that, the father and the students were walking at the foot of the mountain, and the mother followed quietly in the woods on the mountain.
Once, twice, three times... the mother and father finally "meet", the two looked sideways, nodded and smiled, full of heartbeat. The encounter of

then put on the red cotton-padded jacket, held on to the door frame and smiled to greet his father.
And this scene is like a painting to my father, and the brilliance that blooms because of love becomes more and more memorable as time goes by.
The seeds of love madly broke ground and began to grow wantonly among them.
Mother and father have made an appointment to make steamed dumplings with mushroom stuffing for him next time.
However, this time the mother did not wait for the father to eat.

In order for father to eat dumplings, mother carried the blue and white bowl of dumplings and ran to chase the carriage.
took shortcuts across the mountains, but still missed the carriage that took his father away.
The mother did not give up, she remembered the agreement with her father, even if the snow was violent, she had been waiting for her father at the intersection back to the village.
Spring, summer, autumn and winter, the four seasons change, the only thing that has not changed is the mother who waits for her father to return at the intersection.
After many years, the mother finally waited for the father, and since then, they have never separated.
"My Father and Mother" was released in 1999. Watching this movie again this year after 20 years, the biggest feeling it brings to the editor is gorgeousness and simplicity. The two opposite words
could not be more appropriate to describe the film. The brilliant colors of
are the most intuitive experience the film brings to the audience.
Zhang Yimou is a director who is good at telling stories with color. The use of color in "My Father and Mother" can be called a classic textbook.
Zhang Yimou uses colors to poetically create beautiful pictures.
The golden woods, the blue sky, and the white snow. The director
is even more original, using colors to express the feelings of the characters. The basic tone of
is color and black and white. Unlike most films, black and white represents reality and color represents memory.
Because in the eyes of the elderly Zhaodi, the loss of her husband is now as black, and the romantic past is as colorful and sweet as the yellow leaves in the mountains after autumn. The most noteworthy thing about
is the director's application of red. Zhang Yimou prefers red.
Whether it is the red lantern in "Raise the Red Lantern", the red pepper string in "A Lawsuit in Qiuju", or the red background in "Red Sorghum", red has been given different functions and meanings.
And red is also the soul of the film, which represents the passion for love, but also the persistence to love.
Mother wore a red cotton-padded jacket when she first saw her father. She was bright red as a flower, passionate and beautiful, suggesting the arrival of love.
The mother's hand-woven red is hung on the beam in the classroom where her father teaches. For the mother, this piece of red expresses her yearning and longing for love, and the father is more accompanied.
After the father left, when the mother stood in the snow and waited persistently, she was also wearing a red cotton coat. This red is not only the expectation of love, but also the persistence and persistence of love.
In the movie, the most shot is the mother running.

met his father on the road and ran happily; when he learned that his father had returned, he ran to see his father with a very sick body.
The most moving thing is knowing that his father is gone. The mother put on the red cotton-padded jacket that his father liked, put on the red scarf and the red hair card that the father gave her and ran to chase the carriage to deliver meals.
mother is running, the flowing red is the best interpretation of love, and it pierces the softest part of the heart.
Just as netizens said, Zhang Ziyi, who is running in the mountains in red, performed the most touching Chinese love.
But this moving love is very simple, that is, a girl falls in love with a boy, a love is a lifetime. In the lens of
