After we are used to watching big productions with casts, huge sums of money, or urban life dramas with exquisite performances, this " Hidden in the Dust ", which only has one professional actor, is like riding in the dust. into people's sight. There is such a sentence on the
network:
"Life is nothing but doing two things, one is to make a living; the other is to seek love".
Let's take a look at how the two socially marginalized people in this film with a box office of over 100 million completed this life journey under the trick of fate.
, the male lead Ma Youtie, is the fourth oldest at home.
The oldest horse has gold, the second horse has silver, and the third horse has bronze. In order of order, one is worth less than the other.
"Horse has iron", which seems to indicate that he will go through countless trials and beatings in life.
is in a remote northern countryside. There are four sons in the family. It is a kind of "disaster".
The parents, the eldest and the second have passed away for many years. The fourth child lives with the third child, living in a dilapidated partial house. They have worked for their family as free long-term workers for half a lifetime, but now they are disliked when they are middle-aged.
's eldest nephew is about to get married. The woman dislikes such a burden at home and refuses to enter the house. Therefore, the matter of Ma Youtie urgently needs to be "handled".
Few people in the village remember his real name, and they all call him "the fourth". The fourth child also seemed to have seen through everything, just like the donkey that worked with him, he lived in vain, and was disliked to eat more and work less. The heroine of
, Cao Guiying, has no parents, lives with her brother and sister-in-law, and sleeps in a shack in the backyard. Those who were beaten and angered more, suffered from hidden illnesses, incontinent urination, scoliosis, and limped when walking.

The new "home" is set up in an old vacant house in the village. The ceremony of the wedding is very simple. Apart from taking an awkward wedding photo as if forced, the fourth eldest pasted a paper-cut on the wall above the head of the bed. The double "hi" word.
Fortunately, the fourth child doesn't dislike this woman who is just as miserable as himself. She doesn't dislike that she wet the bed the first night, and pretended to be nonchalant to feed the donkey and add fire to the stove.
This may be the first time that Cao Guiying has not been disliked, beaten or scolded, and has been treated with such respect.
She dried her pants, he got up early in the morning and got on the donkey cart and dragged Gui Ying to pay homage to his parents and two older brothers, and solemnly told them that one by one they had married by themselves.
Although the material is poor, this is the most solemn ceremony for Guiying by the fourth child.
Life began to have a little joy.
That night, the fourth child was told by the third child that he would go to the city at five shifts the next day to get his nephew's wedding furniture.
He got up early, cooked vegetables, steamed buns, prepared food for her for the day, and told her not to forget to eat.
stayed busy until late at night, but was ridiculed by Ma Youtong for being late.
It was cold and windy. At the entrance of the village, the fourth son saw Gui Ying who was waiting for him to return, and tremblingly took out a bottle of boiled water that she had changed several times to keep the temperature, just to let him Come back and have a nice sip of hot water.
or he felt distressed, and said fiercely: "You are not staying in the house in the middle of the night, what are you doing running out of such a cold day, it's so cold"; then his words softened again, and he took out to borrow money in the city during the day The purchased coats are put on Gui Ying...
In this cold night, they both felt the warmth and the happiness of being cherished by each other.
Since then, they have been forced to move and donate blood to the "local tyrants" in the village for medical treatment; time and time again, moving from one old house to another...
It's spring, and they raise The chicken baby is out of its shell, and the seeds bought on credit have emerged from the soil, green and full of hope.
Finally, they also began to silently prepare and build a house of their own, instead of being forced to move around.
pulling soil, mixing mud, and making adobe... They are like two swallows building a nest, spitting out blood, using physical strength and sweat to bring grass and trees...
When a vast land is filled with blocks When the blocks are neat and regular, there is a grand and tragic feeling.
From season to season, the wheat is heading, and the air is mixed with the fragrance of wheat ears and orange stems.
As the seasons shift, the wheat is harvested...the house is built.
The last time they moved in a donkey cart, they moved into a home entirely their own.
At night, under the lights, they were lying on the bed, Gui Ying said:
"I never thought that I could have my own home and sleep on my own kang in my life." Baogu has come down, before the new year, I will buy you a big TV..."
At this moment, this woman who was laughed at and ridiculed by the villagers and once lamented that her life was not as good as that of a donkey, she was extremely happy. The
movie is here, and they seem to be a couple who are considerate and warm to each other. As for Guiying, she has also become the envy of the aunties in the bridge chatting.
Although life is oppressive, but this house, three meals, four seasons... They have a house, food, a litter of grown chickens, and a faithful and sincere donkey. If life goes on like this, how wonderful...
But there are no fairy tales in real life.

10zCao Guiying died. He died on the way to deliver food to Ma Youtie. When she sat up, she got dizzy, fell into the water and drowned.
There is no sound in this world, only the fourth child hugs her already stiff body and shouts piercingly...
He removed the word "Hi" on the head of the bed, and silently handled Gui Ying's funeral. Then I sold the grain and paid off the debt I owed to buy seeds and fertilizers, including borrowing ten eggs from my neighbors.
"One yard is one yard", and later, he also untied the rope that tied the donkey for most of its life.
He banished the donkey, like banishing himself, hiding in the dust...
The film, like a carefully weaved alternative fairy tale, gradually pushes the hero and heroine from suffering to beauty -
Suddenly, The fairy tale comes to an abrupt end, like a kind of sadness that makes people speechless in life, human nature and destiny.
If they simply say that they are "love", it is too broad and too narrow. They are the brilliance of humanity that is still reflected in the suffering, the warmth and companionship that nourishes with life, and the sadness of being lonely to death in the end.
Like this line derived from Emily Dickinson's short poem " If I Haven't Seen the Sun":
"I could have endured the darkness if I had not seen the light."
Yes , Cao Guiying, a woman with physical defects who was abandoned by her brother and sister-in-law like a burden, but the light that appeared in Ma Youtie's life made him feel the value of his existence.
He used the most earthy way to deduce a "romance" for the woman and himself with a miserable fate. They have never been helpless to save each other and warm each other.
Li Bo said in an issue of "Opening Remarks":
"The greatest sadness in life is to miss out."
If we sum it up with another sentence of Mr. Cangming, can we make it difficult for us in front of the screen to let go of our sympathy for their fate to another realm——
"I am incompatible with this world, I only sympathize with you. ".
