Er Dongsheng, director of , once again brought us 's tear-jerking work, .
"The end of the sea is the grassland ", this movie that has been released, let us see the acceptance and enthusiasm of the children of the grassland for their compatriots.
"Three thousand orphans enter Inner Mongolia", I don't know if you have heard of this real historical event, if you haven't, then this movie will definitely surprise you.
The story took place in the most difficult period after the founding of New China. It was difficult to get enough food and clothing. The orphans at the bottom of the society, even with the care of the state, could hardly survive this disaster.
At a difficult time for everyone, the children of the grassland took the lead in proposing to send the orphans to Inner Mongolia to be adopted and taken care of by the local herdsmen.
So, a vigorous migration movement began. The difference is that the protagonists of this migration are all ignorant children. They all need to be taken care of by special staff. Crying is the most common thing on the train. The staff is patient and gentle to accompany them through this long journey.
finally, to the grassland. Children and herdsmen form a brand new family in a two-way choice. It was at this time that our protagonist, Xiao Siheng, met her relatives for the rest of her life. The formation of this new family,
, has not been smooth sailing. Xiao Siheng, who just arrived at the grassland, always misses her mother at home, but she has no way to turn back. Everything here is completely different from his hometown. From eating to clothing, Xiao Siheng can't adapt.
A small towel expresses all the nostalgia of this little girl.
Sixty years ago, when adoptive families were not wealthy, they embraced Xiao Siheng with a broad mind. They understood Xiao Siheng's difficulty and built a small bathroom for her with wooden frames and fences. They also taught her to identify directions on the prairie, and taught her to ride a horse and gallop on the prairie.
They are not materially rich, but they have an incomparably abundant love. This overflowing love touched Xiao Siheng and left her heart completely. Since then, this little girl from Shanghai has been rooted in the vast grassland. The love of
also moved us as bystanders. Although it spans time and space and is separated from the big screen, the broad minds and passionate love of the grassland children still have the power to melt ice.
"Take one, live one, and strengthen one" is not an empty slogan, but a reality put into practice by the children of the grassland. Xiao Siheng is just the epitome of the three thousand orphans, she represents the countless children who have been accepted by the grasslands. Abba is waiting for Xiao Siheng in the sandstorm, just as the children of the grasslands accept orphans in crisis, what shows behind this is the love of the compatriots that is not blocked by blood.
In this film, Director Er Dongsheng creatively uses three parallel time lines. The elder brother recalled that it was a line that his younger sister Xiao Siheng was sent away, that it was a line that the younger sister Xiao Siheng arrived in Inner Mongolia, and that it was another line that the elder brother came to the grassland to find relatives decades later.
brother is not too young, I don't know how long he can live, looking for his younger sister who left at an early age is his last concern in his life. So, regardless of his aging body, he embarked on a journey to find relatives.
Decades ago, the barrier of blood did not prevent Xiao Siheng from getting the love of his parents on the grassland; decades later, the passage of time did not prevent his brother from thinking endlessly about his sister. When brother
traveled more than half of China and came to the grassland to find his sister, no one was not moved. They were born in barren times without losing the ability to love and be loved.
"Three Thousand Orphans Entering Inner Mongolia" is a huge historical event; "The End of the Sea is a Prairie" is a serious realistic film. But what Director Er Dongsheng brings to us is a warm and delicate romantic story.
Xiao Siheng's bond with his adoptive family and his biological family is the epitome of an entire era. A grand era, a warm history, slowly unfolded in front of us through the chain of brother's search for relatives. In the
movie, Xiao SiHeng's adoptive mother had a message for Xiao Siheng's biological mother, she said, thank you for giving birth to the daughter we raised together. These words
made me cry instantly in the theater. Two mothers who are far away from each other and have never met, because of a child, are connected by a solid bond. This is not like us today. Maybe we have never met, but when we encounter difficulties, our compatriots will naturally help each other.
Maybe because of the development of society and the convenience of life, this love is not obvious, but it really exists in our lives. , go to see "The End of the Sea is a Prairie". Here, the delicate colors of life and the selfless love of the world are all in this movie.
