Just past the National Day, the movie "My Motherland and Me" was released and continued to sell well. In the past two days, the behind-the-scenes documentary stories about this movie have also been launched one after another.
This film consists of 7 stories. In the chapter of "Hello, Beijing", the 62-year-old old opera bone Ge You plays a divorced, untuned Beijing taxi driver named Zhang Beijing.
won a ticket for the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics because of his dog feces. He and a passenger boy from the Wenchuan disaster area had a series of ridiculous and warm and touching stories.
Stills of "My Motherland and Me"
In the behind-the-scenes documentary story of the film, Ge You plays the role of a taxi driver and follows an authentic taxi master in Beijing to truly settle himself and experience life.
It’s just that Ge You himself and those of us who grew up watching his film and television works did not expect that Ge You, who was sitting in the co-pilot, showed his serious and humorous face from his hat to the young passengers. When asked "Do you know me", I got the same ridiculous answer as in the movie plot.
Ge Jiayi asked two male passengers:
Do you know me? The
boys stared at Uncle Ge’s thin face seriously, and after looking at it, they said:
doesn't know you.
Uncle Ge, who didn't give up, caught two female passengers and asked:
do you know me?
This time, after carefully distinguishing between the two young girls, they recognized Ge You's unparalleled face:
Are you Ge You?
Ge You, who was recognized, answered "yes" and then snickered with his mouth covered, with a proud and shy expression that was beyond words.
is like a child who finally got 100 points in the test, standing eagerly in front of the teacher, he almost said the phrase "please, praise me".
Therefore, he asked in anticipation:
(then you) what (works) have you seen me?
As a result, the girls answered:
emoticons.
Ge You stared suddenly and froze there.
's stunned expression, like you originally promised to be promoted by the leader, seeing the name of the competitor written on the appointment list, disappointed and secretly wronged. The behind-the-scenes documentary story of

makes those born in the 70s and 80s who grew up watching Ge You's film and television works are very agitated:
, I know Ge You, in the movie "Stubborn Lord", he is a social youth Yang Zhong , deduced a serious nonsense, to the ultimate unforgettable;
"The Story of the Editorial Department", he is a glib tongue, full of stalks Li Zongbao , his mouth is too poor to stop, and the words are so tempting. Don’t even think about it; in
"To Live", he is a fateful gambling dude Fugui , but in the end he is just like an ant, repeatedly kneaded by the hands of the times and destiny, but he insists on being humble. In life, the infinite beauty and hope of living are born;
in "Party A and Party B", he is Yao Yuan ; in "Not See or Not", he is Liu Yuan ; in "Endless" he is Han Winter ; in "Mobile", he is strictly guarding one ; in "If You Are the One", he is Qin Fen......
In "The Story of the Editorial Department", Ge You's hairline is already very high
The first person to play the Cannes actor.
His unrepeatable wilting and shrinking, the constant burden of humor and self-deprecating randomness made people burst into tears and saw the hardships of life in their tears.
In his unmatched poverty and ruffian, his seemingly useless fun, and calm truth, let people see the deep sorrow of human nature in the comedy of laughter and pain.
How can you young people not know Ge You? ! This is true for
.
As a senior post-80s, I think it is not only Ge You, but also the people who grew up with us: Chen Daoming, Zhang Guoli, Tony Leung, Leung Ka Fai, Li Zongsheng, Stephen Chow, Brigitte Lin, Maggie Cheung...
Ge You, Leslie Cheung, Chen Hong, Lv Liping
We can all tell a long list of their works, as well as their exclusive classic lines, superb acting skills and sultry melodies in those works.
That is a youth, an era, the memory of a generation of idols. Can't be copied anymore, can't go back again.
But, just as young people don’t know Ge You now, don’t we also know the younger generation idols Cai Xukun, Wu Yifan, Xiao Zhan, Wang Yibo? Isn’t it impossible to add their names and long relatives? Can’t you tell me what works they have?
This is the fairness of the times. It uses misplaced familiarity and faulty likes and dislikes to calmly remind us:
idols are old and we are no longer young.
, who are no longer young, are so angry at the younger generation that they don’t know Ge You, largely because:
Ge You’s embarrassment reflects everything we like and is being marginalized. The passing of Ge You proves that what we follow is being forgotten by the times. And the old age of Ge You also poked a truth that we do not want to face but objectively exists:
people do not grow old slowly, but suddenly grow old.

On the National Day that just passed, during the military parade that strengthened our country, the citizens guarding the TV set reunited with the country’s policymakers who had promised their promise and sailed through the signal. After
retreated from the front desk, many of them rarely showed up. At an event such as the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, we in front of the TV suddenly discovered:
they grew old in an instant, ten years later, 1999 was already 20 years ago.
2009 has been 10 years ago.
Using other people as a reference, we realized the passage of time and the cruelty of years, and then discovered that the most familiar people around us are old and distressing. When
was recording the "Reading and Reading Beauty" column on "Jiangsu Satellite TV", the host Li Xiang once asked me a question:
When did you suddenly find your parents getting older?
I was stunned for a moment, and then what flashed quickly in my mind were those moments that I never noticed when I was young and suddenly understood when I was older:
8 years ago during the long vacation of , I went home to visit relatives and my mother did the best for me. Favorite bean noodles. Because of forgetfulness, she accidentally refilled the salt twice, and because of her age, her sense of taste deteriorated. After refilling the salt twice, she said that the rice was not salty.
This reminds me that when I was a child, my mother always accurately stated the exact location of everything in the house, ranging from pots and pans to small needles and brains. At that time, her memory was so good.
At that moment, I suddenly realized that my mother was getting old.
7 years ago on the National Day of , my lover and I drove home and opened the door of the small courtyard. When we met our father who harvested the autumn, we divided the grain into small bags of 40 to 50 kilograms. After trying and trying again, it trembled. He carried it tremblingly to his shoulders, and crouched back into the room with difficulty.
This reminds me that 20 or 30 years ago, when I was a child, I was on the drying yard and was selling food with my father. The father, who is as strong as an ox and feet as big as a boat, carries more than one hundred catties of grain bags and walks among the grain piles with ease and vigor, just like the Liangshan hero in "Water Margin".
At that moment, I suddenly understood that my father was old.
4 years ago, ’s father and mother fell ill one after another. They were curled up in the hospital bed, unable to move, unable to pay by swiping the card, not knowing where to review, and relying on us like a confused and timid child. They were also afraid of spending money. Delaying our work, while silently enduring the patient torment, while being cautious as if doing something wrong.
This reminds me that when I was young, the three of us siblings fought with others, stole taro from the neighbor's house, or accidentally lost food stamps, and stood nervously in front of them for fear of being beaten.
At that moment, I finally understood that my father and mother are old.
The passage of years and the process of aging are both silent and cruel.
If it is not in the details of life, those irrefutable and rushing to the faceEvidence, nakedly stabbing our pain and fragility, it is also difficult for us to find out how the parents who were tough at the beginning became old all of a sudden.
This "suddenly" stupefaction, there are the grievances that have been separated for too long, the guilt of loyalty and filial piety, and we who are no longer young. In the empathy and empathy guided by the years, we are step by step towards our parents and grow old .

"Why are you suddenly getting old?"
A few days ago, I was wearing a large pajamas, pulling slippers, holding a thermos cup, and standing at the entrance of the study, suddenly saw the baby dad on the balcony.
He bent his waist that was no longer tall and straight, and pressed his increasingly round belly, using his increasingly rough hands to sort food for our parrot.
Sunlight came in through the window, shining on his hairline, which was receding more and more, and his sideburns, which gradually became gray, looked a little dazzling.
He lifted that face with increasingly obvious statutory patterns, showing the middle-aged man's unpredictable smile, and nonchalantly said to me: "The baby is about to talk about his girlfriend, can I not get old?"
Yes, in a blink of an eye We have known each other for 15 years and we have been married for 13 years.
thought that back then, when I met him by the river with the help of acquaintances, he also stepped on the autumn sun to come to me. Although it is hard to talk about being personable, Yushu facing the wind, and handsome, it still made me, a lecherous young literary and artistic young woman, turbulent for a while.
After we got married in the movie "The Love of Hawthorn Tree"
, we, like all couples, hurriedly and hurriedly walked the road of giving birth to a baby, buying a house, repaying a loan, and studying with us. In the firewood, rice, oil and salt, we repeat the ordinary days day after day, feeling as if time has stopped.
Until one day, wrinkles and bags under the eyes covered my eyes, bloated and fat camped on him. Hair loss, insomnia and sickness became the third person that we could not hide between husband and wife.
We, sandwiched between old parents and grown-up children, suddenly discovered that each other was getting old on a common autumn day. The sentiment of
is a bit trance, but also a bit sad. But this kind of sentiment also hides the gifts of the years and the deep meaning of life.

entertainment and gossip, do everything possible to promote the grace of youth. Medical treatment and plastic surgery, exhaustive measures to retain the appearance of prime years. Times and public opinion, all perspectives are aimed at the debut newcomer.
However, aging and farewell are the normal conditions of life. Facing and accepting is the last grace.
Whether we are celebrities, politicians or amateurs, we must allow others to age, and we must also accept that we age. The years of
have never spared everyone. We don’t have to criticize ourselves, nor project our illusions to others, falsely portray an immortal goddess, and pervertedly pursue a girlish culture, and forget:
We are all old, so we must live hard , To live a good life in the cruelty of each age group, and to live a stretch in every old age.
We, the idols of the past are gradually marginalized, the Kangjian parents are slowly getting sick, we will eventually get old one day, we must treasure every day when the house is full of sunshine, and eat every meal well. For lunch, I love every true lover who is incomplete.
This is the only thing that is long-lasting and the only thing in a limited and hasty life.
Yes.
We all grow old all of a sudden.
But I will love you forever.
