And her second film "Ju Dou" directed by Zhang Yimou is also very educational. This film tells about a very old man who married a very young wife in order to pass incense. But this old man was not good for her to squeeze her labor force during the day and satisfy his sexual desires at night. In this extremely painful situation, the heroine and her nephew fell in love and had a relationship and gave birth to a child. But her child thought this behavior was very unacceptable and killed his biological father. In the end, the heroine became frustrated and burned the dyeing workshop handed down by the family. The movie
shows us the repressive humanity of feudal society and the disadvantages of the gap between men and women. Under the influence of feudal thinking, human morality was completely suppressed, and men were absolute rulers. As long as they have money, they can buy many women. What a woman can do is absolute obedience and regard men as the heaven. Sometimes even forced to do some humiliating things.
and the heroine's children did not escape the shackles of this feudal society. From this we can find that in the society at that time, true love could not survive. Gong Li once made a very famous movie with Leslie Cheung. They also attended the Cannes Film Festival together. She and Leslie Cheung left a beautiful photo by the beach. Looking at this photo now, we can't help but feel the passage of time.
