The story tells the story of Wu Taihua (played by Jiang Qinqin) who accidentally enters the hospital due to her desire for success. MLM organization, the story of his son He Mulian (played by Wu Lei) saving his mother alone regardless of safety. When the film was first created, it was based on the mythical story of Mulian saving his mother. The protagonist Mulian was also named after Mulian.
On April 4th, the film released a special feature on Mulian’s allusion to saving his mother, which provides an in-depth analysis of the contrast between the film and the allusion. In the traditional story, Mulian’s mother entered the realm of hungry ghosts due to greed, while Moss Flower in the film became a virtual independent and confident new woman. His identity was mistakenly involved in a pyramid scheme; Mulian was begging for his mother, and Mulian also entered the game alone, just to wake up his mother; even the details of his mother's inability to eat were compared one by one, and Mulian was re-deconstructed and interpreted in a modern context.

Mulian Saves His Mother re-deconstructs the director and admits that it was the most difficult challenge.
Shouts and Awakens, an in-depth analysis of the parent-child relationship of Mulian Moss Flower.
In the special episode, an in-depth analysis of the one-to-one comparison between the film's plot content and allusions was made. Director Gu Xiaogang bluntly said that this time the film was the most difficult. It deals with the story of Mulian rescuing his mother. Because it is a mythical story, (think about) how to visualize it into a popular story. In the prototype story, Mulian's mother, Mrs. Qingti, had a very wealthy family, but she was stingy and greedy, but her son was very moral and filial. She often took advantage of her son's absence to slaughter livestock, cook and chew them without thinking about her son, and she never practiced good deeds. After her death, she immediately entered the realm of hungry ghosts due to her karma. After the Venerable Maudgalyana became enlightened, he used his supernatural power to see his mother suffering all kinds of sufferings. So he used his supernatural power to bring rice to his mother, but it turned into charcoal as soon as it entered his mouth. Maudgalyana was helpless and felt very sad. He prayed to the Buddha again. The Buddha taught Maud Leya to build the Bon Festival on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month to feed his mother with the help of monks from all over the world. Mulian's mother was able to eat enough and reincarnate into the human world, reborn as a dog. Mulian recited the sutra for seven days and seven nights to free his mother from the dog body. In the movie "The World of Grass and Trees", the mother Taihua is tempted by the huge financial benefits and mistakenly falls into the hell of a pyramid scheme. Her son Mu Lian takes the risk and enters the pyramid scheme organization in order to awaken the mother's soul that has become crazy and twisted under the mental control. Across different time and space, when Mulian and Mulian met, how to save his mother and redeem himself was Mulian's homework in the world of plants and trees.
Based on the allusion of Mulian saving his mother, director Gu Xiaogang found the theme of the film, which is awakening. From Wu Taihua waking up the mountain, to Mu Lian waking up her mother, from shouting to waking up is also the process of Mu Lian waking up Wu Taihua step by step. In the MLM organization, accompanied by the shouts of Moss Flower, Moss Flower, Moss Flower, Jiang Qinqin was brainwashed and walked onto the stage surrounded by people. She transformed from a tea-picking girl who came out of the mountains into a success scholar in suits and leather shoes with exquisite makeup. Shouting that I am now an independent, confident and successful woman. Facing the unfamiliar mother who had changed beyond recognition, Wu Lei said that Mulian saved his mother because when Taihua lost herself, as a son, he must wake him up. The subsequent plot development also has a one-to-one relationship with the allusion. Director Gu Xiaogang said that later Taihua lost herself and couldn't eat, but Mu Lian stayed with her and fed her. This is what we see in the movie. Complete comparison of this allusion. Wu Lei also said that at the end of the film, he took his mother back to the mountains to receive the baptism of the mountains. During the life journey of finding himself, Mulian, like Mulian in the mythical story, silently endured many physical and skin injuries. pain of. In the end, He Mulian successfully rescued Wu Taihua from the quagmire, just like Mulian dragged his mother out of hell in Mulian Saves His Mother.HTML They are very kind and considerate of each other. (The film) is a very traditional and typical ethical theme of Asian families. Whether (Taihua) encounters old money or pyramid schemes, her original motivations are based on love for son. Precisely because Mulian was about to enter the next stage of life after graduation, as a mother, Taihua began to worry about her son's marriage and house gifts. Out of the pursuit of material things, Wu Lei also understood that Wu Taihua was initially persuaded by her friends. When I looked for money-making opportunities, it was because I wanted to give my son a better life. When the mental control of the MLM organization deepened step by step, Mulian intervened again and it was already hopeless. As Wu Lei said, when Mu Lian saw the room full of foot patches, and combined with his previous work experience, he knew that Taihua was already on the road of MLM, and there was almost no turning back.
As a re-construction of Mu Lian's rescue of his mother in a modern context, the movie "The World of Grass and Trees" also continues to show the expression of Mu Lian's extremely difficult life to save his mother under the core of the traditional story, and also focuses more on the awakening. Above, the mother Wu Taihua was awakened from the illusion of MLM and from the confused reality. Emotions have been two-way since ancient times. Whether it was He Mulian's rescue of Wu Taihua from the abyss, or Wu Taihua's desire to bring a better life to her son, their love and efforts for each other and their ultimate search for themselves and the completion of the reconstruction of their self-worth. Both depict touching contemporary family relationships. When Wu Taihua became independent and confident, it was like spiritual opium that deeply brainwashed her mother, but also brought her an extraordinary sense of accomplishment. Mu Lian cried out for mother, please wake up, and his identity as the son of man made it difficult for him to refute Taihua's words. That sentence I live once for myself, it depends on whether you want it or not. Wu Lei, who plays Mu Lian, also said that MLM is bad, but Wu Taihua is not. Whether it is insinuating or attacking directly, he must keep his mother away from MLM. After the storm, a mother and son support each other and grow up, which also outlines the possibility of family relationships in contemporary East Asia. The movie "The World of Grass and Trees" also strives to not only truly show the terrifying spectacle of MLM, but also touch people's hearts with the sincere mother-son affection. , exploring a new theme of self-awakening.
