" hides in the dust ": Ma Youtie is lying on the kang, with an empty bottle of pesticide on the table. But Xiao Zhang said to his nephew: The fourth child (Ma Youtie) is living a new life with you.
Many people did not understand the director's cryptic expression, and asked: Is Ma Youtie dead? In fact, if you substitute Ma Youtie's perspective, you will find that it doesn't make much sense whether he is alive or dead.
"You are a good person and can be with you"
My name is Ma Youtie, and I have been a long-term worker at my brother's house for half my life. On this day, my nephew was going to get married, and he was worried that the woman would dislike him, so he wanted to send me out, so I met you.
They only say you are weak and infertile, but I don't think so. Anyway, I don't have a house or money, so you're going to have a hard life with me.
We tied the knot on a snowy day. I lay in bed at night and looked at the stickers with 囍 characters on the wall. I thought they were like two little people holding hands. As a result, you urinated on a kang that night, and it turns out that you still have urinary incontinence.
I breathed a sigh of relief, I was worried I wasn't good enough for you. Now it is a broken pot with a broken lid, and no one should dislike anyone. I went into the city to pick up goods for my nephew, and returned to the village after dark. I can see you waiting for me from a distance. It's cold, and your cheeks are flushed from the cold, but you take out a can of boiling water from your arms.
When the water is cold once, you go back and add it. When it is cold twice, you go back. You don't know how many times it's been cold, you don't know how many times you've run. Life has already passed the 50th mark, but this is the first time I know the taste of love.
Goodness to me. I'm going to build you a house, I'm going to raise a nest of chickens for you as children, even if you eat chaff or sell iron, I'm going to buy you a TV, and I'm going to take you to the city to play , two broken lives put together, can always make a whole.
It's going to be a good day, right, Guiying?
They said I valued you so much that I wanted to hold it in my hand and tie it to my belt. You are my mother-in-law, I am not good to you, who is good to you? Our chick finally lays eggs, I can't bear to eat it, I leave it all to you. You can't bear it, you have to bring me boiled eggs. As a result, he fell off the bridge, and when he died, he still clutched the egg tightly in his hand.
I'm back to living alone again, I've exchanged money, let go of the donkey, and returned the eggs, the room for two is so empty, and one's voice will never echo again.
The life with you turned out to be so good, so good that for the first time I knew what it means to lose. I planted another wheat flower in your hand, Guiying, don't get lost again in your next life. There are three small details in
02.
"Hidden in the Dust", if you understand them, you will understand human nature.
The first one: Everyone in the village calls Ma Youtie the fourth child. First, Ma Youtie is the fourth child at home. The second is that the villagers look down on Ma Youtie, so they won't call him his full name. This is the first level of contempt.
may have iron and panda blood, but he can save Lao Zhang who owes money to the whole village. The first time I went to the old Zhang's house, Gui Ying accidentally urinated on the car. Every time I went back, the seats of the two were covered with plastic films: there was on the car seat, and there was on the seat of the restaurant. Zhang's family disliked it. They are dirty and have to ask for their blood, which is the second level of contempt.
The second one: The Zhang family still doesn't repay the money, and uses the corn to pay off the debt. The market price is eighty cents a pound, but the Zhang family sells it to the villagers for one yuan a pound. When it was Ma Youtie's turn, he offered to deduct the money for the two coats, and Xiao Zhang smiled.
This smile is because he thinks Ma Youtie is very interesting, but at the bottom is his deep disdain for Ma Youtie. The two coats he gave to Guiying are to kidnap Ma Youtie to donate blood. It's like feed to pigs, just to make pigs grow more meat and sell for money. There is no sympathy and no compassion, and a horse has an iron settlement, just like a pig who sold himself and then returned the feed money to him.
When he laughed, he was laughing at the pedantic and pedantic, and he was also proud of his own methods, so don't try to influence villains with kindness. Their bad values are impregnable.
Third, Ma Youtie is very good to Guiying. Fortunately, the mother-in-law in the village said sourly, "The fourth one wants to tie Guiying to the waistband of his pants." These naked jealousies fermented into malice in the future. When Guiying fell off the bridge, the villagers said to Ma Youtie, "I have already Someone went down and rescued." But Ma Youtie was still Guiying who was picked up in the water, indicating that no one else went down and rescued.
In the past, Ma Youtie was the least valued person in the village. Everyone could step on him, and everyone could get a sense of superiority from him. Now this "bottom man" actually has a purer love than them. Their status, for their sense of superiority, they have to watch Ma Youtie's love die.
Human nature is not necessarily jealous of people who have always been better than them, but it must be seen that people who were not as good as them before suddenly stood on their heads.

"Hidden in the Dust" gave Neiyu a slap in the face. A farmer, a director with only more than 2,000 people left in his pocket, a camera, and a piece of yellow land made the best-reviewed movie in Chinese theaters this year.
is expected to exceed 100 million at the box office from no one interested. The popularity of "Hidden in the Dust" may sound the clarion call for the return of rural themes. I don’t know if you have noticed that in today’s film and television market, film and television dramas with rural themes are almost nowhere to be found. Even if there are, rural people always appear with a kind of facialized symbol.
They are the original family that prefers sons to women in " Ode to Joy ", and they are the sloppy mothers in " Settling Home ". The rural people are the villains, the catalysts of the plot, and the fuse of the audience's emotions. Whether intentional or unintentional, the beginning of the countryside was equated with feudalism, unreasonableness and lack of quality.
There are few images of rural people with flesh and blood like Ma Youtie.
They tirelessly let the gods fall in love, and let the urban beauties live in the flat floor to fight anxiety. The entire market is "beautiful", and they are all trying to please the rich. Is there no more rural areas in China, or is the per capita annual salary of one million? Neither
. As of last year, there were 556 million people in my country, accounting for 40.42% of the total population. Looking through the history of TV dramas
From "White Deer Plain" and "Red Sorghum" in the 1980s; to "Furong Town" and " Child King " in the 1990s; and " Country Love " and " Warm Spring" after the millennium ", rural themes have always been the main force in the film and television market.
But in recent years, works of similar themes have dropped significantly, almost to the point of disappearing.
Because they are not foreign enough or rich enough, advertisers do not want their own brands to be lowered by them. In the entire social atmosphere that looks at money, they have become the silent majority.
Ma Youtie has a line that says: What is not born in the soil, what is not grown in the soil? The soil does not despise us, and we still despise the soil?
Yes, everyone looks up at the starry sky, fascinated by the stars hundreds of millions of light-years away, but turns a blind eye to the sand near Chichi. However, without this grain of sand, where would the earth under our feet come from?
