" Hidden in the Dust " has recently caught fire. Not surprisingly, this film has won awards abroad, because almost all movies about the "suffering" of Chinese people will win awards abroad. The quality of the
film is also widely recognized in China. As a literary film, it is full of plot, showing the encounter, love and separation between Ma Youtie and Cao Guiying. In the end, Ma Youtie, who lost hope in life, also chose to leave this world. As a rural film, it shows the current situation of the countryside more realistically, and shows the various states of the countryside from the perspective of horses and irons, which makes many urban people who used to live in the countryside feel the same.
For example, the scene of Ma Youtie's "playing mud" in the film reminds me of the scene where I used to "play mud" with my father every year to repair the "tobacco room" when I was a child, and the action of Hemu is so kind , the same is to take care of those "mud blanks" despite the wind and rain.
As for the so-called suffering, it's just a feeling in a specific situation. If Cao Guiying in the film hadn't fallen into the river, Ma Youtie took her to the provincial capital to see a doctor, and they had their own baby, and the family lived a happy but not rich life. Has this scene become more inspiring?
After watching the movie, it is not difficult to find that there are similar "horses and irons" in every village.
1. The hard-working and kind-hearted
Asi lives in a single-parent family. I heard that his father participated in the Anti-U.S. Aid Korea , but he was only in the cooking class and never carried a gun. He was a deserter because he was timid. Who is his mother? No one in the village has seen it. Because of his father's meanness, their family rarely gets help from the villagers, and the relationship between him and his cousin is as cold as the one between Ma Youtie and Ma Youwen in the film.
Asi learned the skill of painting walls from a master when he was young. When someone in the nearby village built a new house, he would come to him. He was also happy to help. In addition to the material cost, only a nominal labor fee was charged for the completion. At that time, the real estate was not as developed as it is now, and there was not much demand for decoration.
Because of his family and his own conditions, he didn't marry a woman who was rejected by her parents because of her obesity when he was in his forties. However, the woman was only fat, and she became pregnant within two years of going through the door. Later, they went to the county town to settle down and rarely saw them again. They only knew that their house in the village was flattened, and it was unknown whether it was because they were rated as poor households or because they had been idle for a long time.
Assi is lucky because of his hard work and kindness!
2. Lazy and indifferent
Ah Jun's family is still complete, but because of the poor medical conditions at the time and people's weak awareness of eugenics, he has a stupid sister, Ah Mei.
Amei wears a large cotton jacket all year round and wanders in front of their house every day, mumbling something, and her family rarely cares about her. She didn't know that she often wet her pants when she went to the toilet, so she could smell the stench on her body from far away. A child will wrap the used sticky flypaper around her wrist and she will "wear" it with the flies all day. Amei is a hundred times more unfortunate than Cao Guiying in the film. She thought she would wander around the village like that, but when she was of marriageable age, her parents married her far away.
Ah Jun's father worked as a carpenter, but his skills were very poor. He only did some simple work in the slack season. When I heard about WG, his father criticized many people out of personal hatred, so their family was isolated in the whole village. Ah Jun seems to be normal, but he is an extremely lazy and ignorant person. He wanders around every day when he is full, and he never helps his family with their work. Ah Jun is not only unpopular in the village, but also because of his "reputation", no woman is willing to marry him. Later, his parents found someone to marry a woman with severe epilepsy not long after Amei got married, but the woman was fine except for epilepsy, and she was even an "intellectual". They disliked each other. They just lived together, and later this woman couldn't stand Ah Jun's laziness and abandoned their family. A few years later, with the successive deaths of Ah Jun's parents, Ah Jun's house began to fall into disrepair, and where Ah Mei was at this time, how she was doing, and even if no one cared about her life and death, Ah Jun would not care.
On the day Ah Jun's mother was buried in the ground, Ah Jun cried so hard that people thought that he would transform, but he forgot after crying. The bright moonlight that night was desolate and seemed to be telling something. In the middle of the night, the villagers were startled by the strange noise.When I woke up, that thing rang from the beginning of the village to the end of the village as it walked. It seemed to be crying but not like it. During the day, I asked the adults what kind of beast or bird of prey it was, but no one knew.
After that, he and his father were the only ones left in Ah Jun's house. Suddenly, one day Ah Jun felt that life was too hard and sold the only farming cattle in the family. Because of this, his father had a dispute with him and he could no longer be ill. The money for selling the cattle eventually fell to Ah Jun's father. It didn't take long for Ah Jun's father to pass away. Before he left, he divided the money in his hand into two and gave one to Ah Jun and gave the other to the prestige and upright party secretary of the village, and asked the village party secretary to "don't let Ah Jun know about it." With this money, this money can only be used when Ah Jun is really in trouble." Perhaps Ah Jun's father was still imagining that his daughter-in-law would come back, and perhaps the money was reserved for Ah Jun's family.
However, Ah Jun did not change after everyone in the family left, and he was disliked by the villagers. When the cave at home collapsed, Ah Jun moved to a tile house. Later, the tile house collapsed due to disrepair, so Ah Jun slept in the open air. The village cadres couldn't stand it any longer and let him live in a nursing home in a township. Ah Jun was also unpopular in the nursing home because he was too lazy, but a group of old people didn't dare to blame the young man too much. Ah Jun just went back and forth between his dilapidated house and the nursing home every week like a child going to school in the town, but Ah Jun was more like hanging out.
After a long time, Ah Jun seemed to realize that his will began to sink. One day, Ah Jun dragged his tired body back to his dilapidated courtyard. Mu Qiuqiu was gloomy and raining. Feeling cold, Ah Jun walked into the dilapidated tile-roofed house to find some warmth. However, a wooden bed in the house had already been crushed by the fallen beams. There was no quilt on the bed. The oil lamp lay quietly on the dusty table. He wrapped his army green jacket and curled up beside the bed when he was about to rest. The village chief walked in. The village chief asked, "What are you doing here running around here in such a cold weather?" Now, come back and have a look." The village chief noticed the strangeness of Ah Jun and was afraid that the weather would be freezing, so he contacted the nursing home for a car to pick him up, and the day after returning to the nursing home, Ah Jun left this world. Later, Ah Jun's only relative in the world, his cousin, helped him take care of the funeral.
Ah Jun was buried next to his father, without a tombstone or a wreath. The money left by Ah Jun's father was also given to Ah Jun's cousin, except for the expenses of Ah Jun's nursing home and funeral.
