A person's life is the first and the last one. There are passive and active commitments, simple and complex commitments.
The Korean movie " International Market " gave both of them a great display and a warm narrative. Taking the life course of the protagonist Dexiu as the core, combined with the advancing era, it shows a person's choice at the intersection of destiny and the attribution of the meaning of life.
's hard enduring
From the beginning of the war, Dexiu started a difficult journey of enduring. The first step is to endure the displacement and family separation brought about by the suffering of war. In the face of the situation of the times, people are too small after all, especially ordinary families, cannot withstand such storms.
Under the cloud of war, the family escaped and boarded the ship with the torrent of retreat. The younger sister was dragged off by others. The father resolutely disembarked and looked for it. The escape was imminent, and the ship would not wait. The pain of separation became the first step in this heavy burden.
came to the distant Busan , although there is an aunt to take care of, but the family wants to live, and the weak mother alone cannot support it. The life-money distress becomes the second step that must be endured. And this time, it took a long time. The pressure of
's life made Dexiu choose to work as a miner in West Germany to make money, go abroad to make a living, and speak a foreign language. Heavy labor, dangerous environment, and long homesickness are the ones that have to be endured.
returned from Germany, the family environment has improved, but then his girlfriend is pregnant, married and become a father, new happiness also means new responsibilities. The younger sister's dowry, the aunt's shop, the pressure one after another, forced them to go abroad to work again, but this time it was a more dangerous war environment.
Vietnam, far away and dangerous, facing attacks everywhere, war will not let anyone go away, danger is never far away because of someone's identity. The war is raging, and the home is gone. This time, it is a new discomfort, and the leg of War Reed Show is disabled for life.
has lost his father, his complete home, the opportunity to protect his family, and his healthy body in passive enduring time and time again. But he doesn't care because he bears it all. Once a person has a better pursuit, no matter how difficult it is, he will endure it. When the father and son were separated, the father told Dexiu that he was the eldest son. If his father was not there, he would be the pillar of the family and he had to stand up. In fact, Dexiu has always been the first person to take on the responsibility. Since he carried his sister to escape, that's it, he told her to hurry up. When he felt that her sister was being pulled, he tried to grab her arm.
Life in Busan is not good. After all, after the war, the country is newly created, everything is very difficult, not to mention the mother is weak and the family is poor, the population is already large, but the labor force is too small.
In order to make a living, Deok-soo deliberately pretended not to like studying in exchange for his mother's permission to drop out of school to work. At that time, he was still a child. He was busy with all kinds of chores every day without touching his feet. As long as he had money, he would do it immediately. The money earned is used to live at home and pay tuition fees for younger siblings. A child who needs to make money at such a young age has a real love and a real commitment to his family.
went to West Germany to work as a miner and to Vietnam to do logistics, all for the sake of the family, for the happiness of the younger brothers and sisters, for the mother to share the hard work, for the stability of the wife and children, and for the aunt's small shop not to be let down. No matter how heavy the work or the dangerous environment, he will never turn back, he must undertake it, because he loves his home.
Time has passed and life is getting better. South Korea has started a family search activity. He actively participates in it, hoping to make his own contribution to family reunion. He persisted and worked hard. Fortunately, his commitment was not ignored, and his sister finally returned.
As the days go on, the people he takes care of have grown up, and he still stubbornly guards his aunt's small shop, just because his father promised him that if his father comes back in the future, he will meet at the small shop.
He took on the responsibility of taking care of the family and the responsibility of finding relatives and reuniting. He is a good eldest brother and a good son. He tried his best, whether it was for his parents or his wife and children, he was very selfless enough.
Is he really willing?
yeah, so much to bear such a heavy burden, so many years, aloneIt wasn't easy, so in the end he entered the room and had a conversation with his father's photo, and he admitted that he worked so hard.
However, facing his family and life, he did not complain or shirk, even if he gave up his love again and again and wronged himself again and again - dropped out of school, worked part-time.
His mother understands him, his wife loves him, and his brother loves him. Someone loves him, even if his sister is self-willed, no matter how hard it is, he never backs down.
Bearing makes people strong, and bearing makes people tough. A person always has to bear it, bear it well, in order to live up to his life.
We can't choose what the world gives us, and we can't decide the success of our life, but we give our choices to the world and give our answers back to life.
Come on, all those who don't give up! When commitment and bearing are combined, most of life will have beautiful rewards.
