I don't know if you have seen "1942" directed by Feng Xiaogang. This film is adapted from Liu Zhenyun's novel of the same name. It tells the countless tears and sighs around Henan after the great famine that year.
In 1942, a rare famine occurred in Henan for nearly a hundred years. At that time, the whole province was hit by drought, and locusts were spreading everywhere, leaving the whole land without any grass.
At that time, it coincided with the anti-Japanese period. The people who were more difficult had nowhere to make a living. They could only live by eating bark. Later, there was no bark. Millions of victims in the province started a long migration road, waiting ahead. What lies behind them is the unknown, and a destination without purpose is the beginning of hope.
At that time, the railway station in Luoyang was overcrowded. As long as there was a train passing by, the refugees who had been waiting for a long time climbed up like a straw for life. Under the circumstances, many people fell off the train and fell full because they did not succeed in the fight. The most distressing part of the body injury is that sometimes a family and the mother succeed in climbing up, but the child cannot be sent up in time, and in the end the mother and the child can only say goodbye.
is now located in the "ghost market" in the Xiaodongmen of Xi'an, which is inextricably linked to the Great Famine at that time. Many people who fled to Xi'an came to Xi'an. Fortunately, those who have relatives and friends can join relatives and friends to make a living. Those who are helpless here can only find a job that can make ends meet, pull carts and move things and do everything, and those who have no other way can only come to the "ghost market" and sell everything that can be sold. , In exchange for money to fill the stomach.
In 1943, the American Bai Xiude knew about this and came to Henan to interview on the spot. When he saw everything in front of him, he was stunned. There was no green in the earth, and all the people were helplessly looking for food. He took photos of what he saw and heard. This set of photos also aroused the condemnation of Chiang Kai-shek from the international community. He was forced to admit this fact.
Feng Xiaogang is now in a state where everyone is shouting, but regardless of his character, this movie is indeed very sincere. A movie that has a huge investment but does not have the purpose of making money has almost disappeared from today’s era. Fortunately, he is willing to photograph this period of suffering and hardship in Henan, regardless of gains and losses and fatigue, so that many people who know and do not know about this period of history and this period of suffering.
