" Fire Dance and Yellow Sand ", but for those who love to watch Hong Kong dramas, this drama will not be unfamiliar.
This is a drama with a higher theme than " ". Moreover, it is also produced by the gold medal producer Qi Qiyi . class of people.
is such a drama, but it was delayed because the tone was too "yellow", which is a pity. The story in this play takes place on the Loess Plateau, and tells about the grievances and grievances between the two families of Yanjiapu, Yan and Song. In order to make this drama well, TVB, which has always been known for its "stingy", also made a lot of efforts. The cheerleading team went to the loess land in northern Shaanxi to take pictures.
, this divine drama, which is considered to be more "intentional" than "Desire of the Golden Branch", where is the wonderful show?
actually lies in the "open and secret struggle" between people. Under the influence of feudal and conservative thinking, human nature is distorted, women are exploited, and personal dignity is trampled. Honesty and ethics.
"Dance of Fire and Yellow Sand" has a total of four heroines, Ji Mingfeng, Jia Chunfen, Jiao Yu and Shu Langyue. This kind of multi-protagonist setting always seems to be more brilliant. All have their shining points. In that period when feudal conservative thoughts were still left, the fate of the four heroines in the play was also covered with a tragic color.
1. Ji Mingfeng
First of all, Ji Mingfeng played by Gigi Lai , she was originally a young lady from a big family. She was literate since she was a child and studied in the provincial capital, but she was married to Yan Wanxi because her family was down - a A man with no emotional foundation who has never met.
Ji Mingfeng dares to love and hate, she is brave, persistent, and she wants to pursue the love and ideals in her heart, because she has read books and seen the world, although she has to marry into Yanjiapu, she always wants to go Break the traditional feudal ethics. After
came to Yan's house, Ji Mingfeng didn't like Yan Wanxi at all. She first threw away all the books she cherished most in the past, and then wanted to run away with Yan Wantian, but she could not escape her fate in the end.
Yan Wantian is not Ji Mingfeng's good friend. He fell in love with her, and was afraid of the rules of Yanjiapu and his elder brother. For the sake of his future and destiny, he was willing to give up his love.
Ji Mingfeng is reluctant to submit to Yan Wanxi, so at the beginning of the story, we can always see Ji Mingfeng and Yan Wanxi fighting against each other everywhere, she can say such cruel words: "You are not resting on me today, I will burn your house, you Tomorrow will not stop me, I will burn your workshop, in short, as long as I am the young grandmother of the Yan family, I will fight against you!" In the entire Yan family shop, only Ji Mingfeng dared to do this.
, however, is such a brave and fearless woman who dares to love and hate, but finally fell in love with Yan Wanxi and even changed her temperament for her.
In the patriarchal society, Ji Mingfeng dares to resist and fight for it. Even if she has no backing, she can say, "I won't let anyone tell me how I should go on this road."
waited until she found out that Yan Wanxi was originally It was not what she saw at the beginning. She gradually changed. After she fell in love with Yan Wanxi, she began to understand her husband, shared her worries, and even sacrificed her life for him. When Yan Wanxi had nothing and was deaf and blind , Ji Mingfeng can stay by Yan Wanxi's side without any regrets as another person, and serve silently for six years. In order to allow Yan Wanxi to live, she is willing to become a "substitute".
This is undoubtedly very painful for Ji Mingfeng.
Second, Jiao Yu
My favorite female character in the play is Jiao Yu. Jiao Yu is the head of the Song family, the grandmother of the long house.
At the beginning, Jiao Yu, who was at a young age, married the eldest master of the Song family, Song Dongyang's father, as the successor, and a young woman married a rich master, and she didn't want to come here of her own free will.
Although it is not stated in the play, it can be seen from Jiao Yu's hatred of her husband that she does not love this man at all, but is forced.
Before Song Dongyang's father died, he looked at his young and beautiful wife, lest she would come out after his death, so he decided to poison Jiao Yu, but fortunately he was discovered by Jiao Yu,With the help of the servant Gui Lan, Jiao Yucai did not die.
After the death of Song Dongyang's father, the two forged a suicide note, and Jiao Yu successfully became the head of the Song family, and has since become the most influential person in the Song family.
It's just, how could the sons and nephews of the Song family be willing to let power fall into the hands of a woman? How could they be willing to listen to Jiao Yu's words?
And Jiao Yu did this just for the sake of her son Dongxiao, and raising his son to become a good man was her only hope.
She helped Song Dongyang take a concubine, and wanted to expose Song Dongyang's inhumane secret, but she was planning for her son Dongxiao. Unfortunately, Dongxiao died unexpectedly. Since then, she has fallen into hatred and is bent on revenge.
What a mother can do for her child is probably nothing more than loving her before her death, and remembering it after her death. Jiao Yu is really a good mother and a very bitter mother.
In order to get revenge, she can act, and she can win the mercy of her enemy Yan Wanxi and make him tempted by herself. Almost, her plan succeeded. She and Yan Wanxi were almost caught by the clansmen and lit the sky lantern. But at the last moment, she repented.
Do you say she was really moved by Yan Wanxi? Not necessarily, maybe she was just tired, living is a torment, she finally put down her hatred and went to reunite with her son.
3. Home equinox
The fate of the vernal equinox seemed to be doomed from the very beginning:
she was born broke her palm , the fortune teller said to her: "If you live hard, you will never see a white-headed man; bedridden". Since then, she has become an "ominous person", resigned to everything.
Her wish is very simple: she just wants to find a good husband, a husband who can depend on her for life, and a lovely son. But even such humble desires were all in vain for her.
She was betrothed to Song Dongsheng, but Song Dongsheng had a relationship with the widow, Song Dongsheng was kicked out of Yan's house, and the marriage between the two was naturally stale. After that, she was betrothed to Song Dongyang, the eldest son of the Song family, as a concubine. Although she was a concubine, she was able to marry on the mountain and be the young grandmother of the Song family, which was great news for her.
But her husband is an inhumane man, but the long house must have a child to follow the incense lamp, so the spring equinox is pregnant with another man's child without knowing it, and this man is still It was Song Dongsheng who betrayed her back then.
She hates this man because he made her be pointed at her for two years and endured so much vicious words and pressure. However, the two of them are always involved. When Song Dongsheng almost died, But she was the one who saved his life.
She is simple and kind, but she was taken advantage of, first to cast seeds, and then to have a miscarriage. Is she a tool of the Song family?
Later, she fell in love with Dongsheng, faced death, and gave herself to this man; after escaping, she struggled with contradictions, Mingfeng woke her up, she persuaded Dongsheng to give up revenge, but Song Dongsheng was too obsessed , always reluctant to give up. At the end of the
story, she no longer cares about other people's eyes, she only lives for her own life, she bravely pursues her own love, and bravely saves her own life.
So at the end, when the old spring equinox returns to Yan's house, he can show such a peaceful and peaceful smile.
Fourth, Shu Langyue
The most tragic woman in "Fire Dance and Yellow Sand", I personally think it is Shu Langyue.
Her whole life, she lived only for a man and a Song family. When she didn't understand anything, she was married to Song Dongyang as a child bride and became the young grandma of the Song family. She entered the door earlier than Jiao Yu, but in terms of seniority and identity, she still had to respectfully call Jiao Yu "mother-in-law".
She is lucky, because her husband Song Dongyang is the only young man in the Song family who knows how to be diligent and motivated. He works hard to farm the land, just to lead the clan to get rid of the oppression of the Yan clan, and her relationship with her husband is also deep. The two were childhood sweethearts, Very emotional.
But she is unfortunate again, because her husband is inhumane, she has been a widow for many years, and she has tried every means to hide it for her husband, preferring to bear a charge of infertility.
Every year, she has to ask for a child, just relying on a stone to give herself a hope, but every year is a disappointment.
For the sake of her husband, she did not hesitate to plant seeds, and she was willing to accept the concubine arranged by her mother-in-law Jiao Yu, all because she loved Song Dongyang. In the old feudal society, she had already been poisoned and accepted her own destiny. , no longer resist.
Even in the end, everyone already knew that Dongyang was inhumane, but she still refused to give up "inheriting the lineage". She deceived everyone into seeding by herself and was pregnant for two months. Years of repression, her heart has gradually become numb and twisted. She can get drunk on the vernal equinox, let her plant seeds, or kill Gui Lan to save the face of the Song family. Now, she has even deceived herself, and she weaves herself into it. A fantasy, in that dream, she already had flesh and blood in her belly.
However, a fake can never become a real thing. The so-called fetus only exists in her mind. When the menstruation arrives normally and mercilessly shatters the fictional dreams in her subconscious, her life is like a disaster. , completely collapsed, and thus voided.
She cut her stomach with a pair of scissors and died with a begging stone in her hand. At the end of her life, she still wanted to declare to everyone that she was a normal woman and that she could be a mother.
In her whole life, she was used to lowering her eyebrows and swallowing her voice. The only time she fought recklessly against fate and lived out herself happily, broke out in the silent sorghum field, the moment she was fearless and decided to die.
is so ironic and sad.
"Dance of Fire and Yellow Sand" has four heroines and four tragic lives, and in this ancient feudal yellow land, what more than four tragic lives in this mere district?
Yan Wanxi was forced to give up his ex-wife. As the patriarch, is it not sad that he cannot disobey the rules of the clan?
Song Dongsheng is haunted by firecrackers, is it not sad that he is obsessed with revenge?
Is it not sad that Mao Xiaozhuo was lit by the sky lantern?
Guilan was raped by Master Song, why is it not sad that she can't give birth again after stillbirth?
...
This feudal and ancient yellow land is full of tragedy, and human nature has long been distorted. For the so-called chastity archway, women cannot control their own destiny, and human nature is trampled. Such a place will eventually go to destruction. .
Uncle Mao's fire destroyed the place of Yanjiapu, and also burned down the bad habits that have been passed down for a hundred years. This place that was once prosperous and once was like hell has finally disappeared.
