A while ago, I learned about " Hidden into the Dust " through a short video, and probably knew the story of Youtie and Guiying.
Youtie looks in his 40s and 50s, with wrinkled face and dark skin. At first glance, he is an honest man with a good temper. Gui Ying walked with a limping, her hands were shaking slightly, she always bowed her head silently, with a sad face, carefully curled up in her own world.
That's it, two hard-working people got married under the arrangement of their family. They were strangers from the beginning, to accompany each other after working every day, gradually become each other's dependence, and have expectations and longings for life. But the good things in the world are not strong, Guiying accidentally drowns, and the happiness of iron comes to an end.
Just a few minutes of explanation made me curious about this movie, what kind of movie is this? How can it be so real? So I specifically found this movie and watched it in its entirety. After reading
in one breath, I can't express how I feel, lost? Uncomfortable? The various pictures in the movie keep flashing in my mind, and it seems that every detail is worth pondering.
Next, I would like to choose four details to share with you.
01
Passive blood donation Just because the person who donated blood was the boss who collected grain in the village, he had a strange disease and needed a lot of blood transfusions, and the only people in the village who matched his blood type were horses and irons.
As a result, a large number of villagers suddenly flooded into the hut that no one cares about on weekdays. No one cares about Ma Youtie's life and death, and no one pays attention to Guiying's objection. Everyone just thinks that Ma Youtie agrees to donate blood to make the grain harvester boss. give money.
A group of people gathered together, not so much to ask for Ma Youtie's opinion, but to force Ma Youtie to nod because of the crowd.
This can be compared with the house built by Tie Guiying behind. They need to bleed, and a mighty group of people will come. When they really need help, even their own brothers will not come.
's human feelings are warm and cold, which is evident.
In this case, for the sake of all the villagers and to save lives, Youtie agreed. He took his wife to the boss's son's BMW to donate blood for the first time.
really care about iron, only Gui Ying is . She insisted on staying by her husband's side, staring at the needle on his arm, begging the doctor to use less.
The first time there is a second time, the second time is the same place, the same environment, the same coldness, for others, everything is just repetition, but for Guiying, it is different, She only thinks Time and time again, the husband lost so much blood and worried about the damage to his body.
several times in a rowBlood draws benefited the boss who received the grain, but he had no benefit if he had iron. Even the clothes that the boss’s son sent had iron, he had to insist on repaying the money. Later, there was Tie who left, maybe it was just an after-dinner talk in everyone's mouth, just like Kong Yiji in Lu Xun's writings, with him or without him, everyone lived like that.
pathetic, deplorable.
Ma Youtie's experience of donating blood made me think of Fugui's son Youqing in " is alive ". He didn't know what blood donation was at a young age, so he ran to donate blood to the county magistrate's wife , As a result, people only focus on drawing blood, but ignore the child, and Youqing is gone.
An adult and a child are all people living at the bottom of society. Just because their blood types match, they are regarded as the hope of prolonging the lives of others, and as a blood bank that can be used at any time. When
donated blood, a group of people gathered around, no one paid attention after donating blood, no one cared about the wishes of the "blood bank", they only cared about whether the blood in the "blood bank" was pure and sufficient. Bystanders carried the banner of morality and came to their door to ask for it. They called it "saving people", but in fact it was "exchanging lives for life".
I have one more thought.
If Guiying had no accident, she and Youtie would still live together. However, according to the frequency of blood donation, the body with iron will definitely be damaged, and it may not be able to maintain their happiness for a long time.
This is the most uncomfortable point for me, is a simple and most inconspicuous little happiness, they can't keep it!
02
had a house and a home
At first, Tie and Guiying lived in the vacant house in the village.
So, the owner of the house came back, and they moved with things.
Just like this, Youtie and his wife started to live in sojourn, just because of Guiying, Ma Youtie had the idea of building a house for the first time in his life . With Gui Ying's help, he started making adobe, weaving straw mats, and built their own house little by little like swallows build their nests.
The two of them giggled while protecting the adobe in the storm, witnessed the first chick hatching together, weaved straw mats together, and ploughed the land together. Too many trivial things in life have tied them together tightly, forming a complete Family.
Someone wanted the Ma Youtie couple to live in a building in the city. Ma Youtie's first reaction was that the people had a place to live, where would the chickens and donkeys live?
This question may be funny. In the eyes of others, Ma Youtie must be very stupid. He has been used by his brother for so many years, and he has been despised for so many years. In the end, the house was also given to them. There are still such stupid people in the world?
Ma Youtie thinks that with Guiying there, a place that can accommodate chickens and donkeys is home. Gui Ying is the one who cares about her heart. Chickens and donkeys are necessary partners for family income, and no one can be less. city buildingNo matter how bright the room is, it can't replace your own adobe room.
This reminds me of the phrase we often say, "Golden den and silver den are not as good as your own dog's kennel", wandering outside, people always find it difficult to feel at ease, like duckweed without roots has been floating in the air until home At that moment, when I see familiar people and things, I feel that my heart has just landed, and people are much more at ease.
When I was studying abroad, I didn't feel anything when I was busy and busy. But when I am alone, especially when I am sick and sad, I will always be homesick. No matter how rich a person's life is, there will always be times when I feel homesick, which cannot be replaced by other places.
is like Colonel Aureliano in " One Hundred Years of Solitude ", he fought abroad when he was young, participated in countless wars in his life, won the support of many people, traveled many places, and met many people but in the end he chose to go home.
Although he ordered everyone to stay three meters away from him after returning home, he even chose to spend the rest of his life by hunting small goldfish.
So why did the colonel choose to go home? It’s probably similar to the reason why Ma Youtie was reluctant to go to the city. It’s just that Ma Youtie understood that his roots were in the countryside, and that the colonel had been in the army for half his life, so he realized that the way to feel at ease was to follow his father to catch little goldfish when he was young, so that he could feel at ease. A place is home.
and I was in the elevator a few days ago and heard two aunties talking about taking care of children. One of the aunts said that when I bring my grandson out, I will be too old to move, and I don’t want to stay here, so I will go back to my hometown in the countryside, which is still clean and comfortable, and I can’t stay here.
At that moment, I suddenly understood a lot.
Swallows come from winter to spring and can still find their own nests, especially for people. No matter whether they leave home or not, home is always a concern.

The most simple romance - the wheat print
One of the most influential plots in the whole movie is the wheat print left by Youtie and Guiying on each other's wrists.
After the wheat matured, Youtie took Gui Ying's hand, carefully placed a grain of wheat on her wrist, and pressed it hard, a beautiful wheat print appeared. After
, Guiying also took her husband's hand and planted wheat prints in the same way. goes back and forth, indicating that two people have accepted each other from the bottom of their hearts, and their hearts are connected in the process.
When Ma Youtie learned that his wife had drowned, he gradually accepted the reality from the beginning of grief, and finally, the night before his wife's burial, he planted wheat prints for his wife again.
seems to be a simple action, a seemingly childish approach, but it hides the deep affection of a pair of lovers. "Love" is not mentioned in the movie, but it is love from beginning to end.
When the film received more and more attention, wheat printing became the object of imitation by many people, but wheat printing can be imitated, but the deep feelings behind it cannot be copied.
Fast-paced times nowIn modern times, many people only pursue material things, and emotions have become more and more cheap. Valentine's Day, Tanabata, New Year's Eve and other festivals appear in our lives. It seems that every festival is worth celebrating, but roses are easy to Buying, true love is hard to find, how many people are slowly scattered in the crowd. Is
because wheat prints are prettier than roses?
Of course not, which flower is not important, what matters is the emotion behind it.
"The Little Prince " The little prince left his roses and wandered around the planets. The more he walked, the more boring he became. Until he met the fox, he understood the meaning of his running away during the conversation with the fox. Understand the true meaning of love.
The fox told him that the two would only be together after they tame each other. In the past, he only guarded his own roses and lived with several volcanoes. In fact, in the process of watering the roses to catch insects every day, and the roses helping him to relieve his boredom, they had unknowingly Tame each other, but the little prince didn't realize it.
In the same way, Ma Youtie and Gui Ying met under the arrangement of fate and leaned close together in the center of various trivial matters. This is also the process of taming. It is precisely because of this process that the existence of wheat printing is meaningful. Otherwise, how could a wheat print that disappears in minutes resonate with so many people?
Wheat prints or roses are all expressions of love at that time, but whether two people can be together for a long time still needs more energy to hone. In the process of tempering,
tamed each other and became each other's only, which is the meaning behind the wheat print.

无边的苦难
关于这部电影，知乎上有这样一个热度比较高的问题，为什么马有铁勤劳能干、有生产资料，却是全村最穷的人？
I saw a highly praised answer saying this: Ma Youtie has been sucked blood by the people around him, his brother sucked blood, he worked for his brother for decades, but in the end it was just a donkey and 50 yuan; The tyrant also sucked his blood. After so many blood transfusions, he was given two clothes, and in the end, he had to deduct money from the corn. Other villagers also sucked his blood, forcing him to draw blood for the village tyrant.
I feel the same way about this answer. Let's analyze Ma Youtie's background. He is in his 40s, has no father or mother, and only has a donkey as his companion for half his life. Free labor . In an environment like
, no matter how hard you are, it will not help you. All his efforts are not for himself, so why is he willing to pay for his brother's family?
maybe because of two words: honest .
When he and Gui Ying were watching TV at someone else's house, the hostess asked him, you have been a long-term worker at your brother's house for most of your life, why didn't he buy you a TV? For such a question, Ma Youtie not only didn't answer, but also didn't seem to care.
Or, there is no way.
Honestly, he seems to be accustomed to a life of submissiveness, as if he scolded his ass: "If you let you go, you won't go. It's been used for most of your life, don't you think it's not enough? What a bitch!"
From this sentence, we can see that Ma Youtie knows everything in his heart, but he used to have no expectations for life. In response to his brother's call to come and go, the villagers forced him to donate blood. Ma Youtie did not resist, because he knew that once he resisted, he would be pushed farther by everyone.
Can't change it and have to accept it all?
Of course not. After Ma Youtie met Guiying, he took a positive attitude towards life, built a house, worked hard every day, raised chickens and fed donkeys. This attitude has been his biggest change and his happiest day.
But life likes to joke, directly taking away his most beloved person. Ma Youtie's emotions didn't show too much. He hid his grief, calmly dealt with all kinds of trivial matters at home, and then chose to leave.
When there is nothing, I can bear it; after experiencing happiness, I never want to go back.
Suffering is like a big hammer, hammering people to death.
"Postscript"
When watching a movie, the thing that comes to my mind the most is Yu Hua 's "Alive". There are Tie and Fugui, Guiying and Jiazhen. They are indeed trying to live and manage their small lives seriously, but all kinds of hardships will still fall on them.
To be honest, I don't dare to think too much, and I don't dare to watch it again.
is a wish, but I still hope that life can be gentle.
