's " Hidden in the Dust " became popular, and it also sparked some remarks criticizing it. The criticism of
said that the poverty and misery of the protagonist Ma Youtie in the movie were deliberately exaggerated in order to discredit reality. People who make such remarks by
are either used to singing praises, or they are brainwashed by those illusory domestic film and television dramas.
In recent years, the domestic film and television dramas with modern themes have no real poor people, but have been replaced by luxurious love. This kind of utopia displayed through film and television dramas has contributed to consumerism in real life, and made some people have a wrong perception of reality.
Many people mistakenly believe that this is an era when everyone can have a rich family, a beautiful love, and a happy life.
But the reality is not like that.
As an urban-rural complex that has lived in a slum, I have seen many poor people who are similar to Ma Youtie, the protagonist in "Hidden in the Dust".
They are hard-working and simple, but in exchange they are only able to meet the basic food and clothing rations. For them, a slightly decent piece of clothing is a luxury, and eating an egg is a reward for themselves.
is extremely poor, making it impossible for them to strive for a good and happy marriage for themselves.
Among them, most of them will never be able to marry a wife in their entire life, and a few of them are married because of the combination of "old and weak" and "disabled". Abnormal women make do with marriage, and even if they have offspring, their offspring will most likely still be poor members of socially disadvantaged groups, like Fan Xiaoqin.
They can't feel the taste of sweet love. When they completely lose their labor force, they have no relatives to rely on.
China has nearly 500 million rural people, and 600 million have a monthly income of less than 1,000 yuan. That is to say, there are "horses with iron" not only in remote rural areas, but also many "horses with iron" in cities.
"horses with iron" exist in large numbers, but have been deliberately ignored for a long time.
