Ask nothing about the west and the east, but only ask the heart —— On "Ask nothing about the west and the east"

"If you know the life you are going to face in advance, I wonder if you still have the courage to come?"

The first line at the beginning of the movie rings in the bustling and noisy city, and the story unfolds slowly with this line.

The lens is advancing in the past with three time periods, and stories and characters are cross-linked, interspersed, supplemented and inseparable. Modern society is deeply mired in the struggle in the workplace and the whirlpool of interests; Wang Minjia, Chen Peng and Li Xiang, who were full of ideals and beliefs but could not get rid of the sadness of the times in the 196 s; During the Anti-Japanese War, The National SouthWest Associated University's teachers and students, such as Shen Guangyao and Wu Linglan, were in the midst of bullets, but their spirit followed the knowledge and truth to the clouds ... < P > There was sadness and glory; It's a legend, it's a heritage. Listen to your heart and ask nothing.

Shui Mu Holy Land

Lens 1

On a piece of land in Kunming, Yunnan, there is a school building built by teachers and students. Although there is an iron roof, when it rains, teachers and students still can't get rid of the fate of "heavy rain outside and showers indoors".

In the classroom, the gray-haired old gentleman is talking loudly. On the blackboard, there are many calculus symbols, letters representing charges and one after another. The rain was so loud that the old man almost shouted himself hoarse, but he still saw the students looking puzzled. Seeing this, I was about to shake my head and take a deep breath. Suddenly, I saw the silent old gentleman turn around and write down four vigorous and powerful characters on the blackboard: "Sit still and listen to the rain"!

when the four words came out, I was in awe.

at that moment, it's no exaggeration to say that my whole body was shaking and excited as if I had been struck by current.

Look-it's raining cats and dogs outside, making the tin roof roar; There are unfinished formulas written on the blackboard, and the dense symbols and figures are written in white chalk with four characters of "sit still and listen to the rain"; All the students, with quiet faces and silent words, sat calmly in the leaky classroom according to the teacher's guidance, listening to the sound of rain outside the window and the thunderous beating on the roof; The old man in a long gown put the chalk down, stepped over the stool, and sat down very calmly, listening to the rain with the students in one room.

what a state. What feelings.

Camera 2

Sitting in this leaky classroom, listening to the rain, Shen Guangyao gently pushed the window at hand-

Not far away, there was a small river with many weeping willows, and the green color melted into the rain and fog. Further away, there are all kinds of green grass. Looking at the past, it seems to be the constant length of heaven and earth, and you can't see the distance clearly.

Shen Guangyao looked away from the distance. Nearby, a local fisherman was crouching, wearing a gun. As soon as the net was closed, several fat river fish jumped out in front of him, flipped and fluttered, full of vitality. The fisherman was no longer greedy, stood up, shook his net and threw his pole, and went home.

I can also hear the loud "121212 ...", which is the teacher running in the rain with the students in physical education class. Such a heavy rain, such a muddy ground, but there are such loud shouts, such a high-spirited face, such a neat and shocking team. The chubby teacher ran round and round with the students in the rain, shouting round and round, and the whistle on his chest jumped with the rhythm.

What about the rainstorm? In The National SouthWest Associated University, no matter how hard the conditions and harsh the environment are, the days can be leisurely and colorful by all the teachers and students. It is already a realm. Has become a tolerance.

Scene 3

There is a worse environment-

The alarm sounded and a group of teachers and students began to avoid the air raid in an orderly way. Perhaps it is because they have been shuttling through the bullets for a long time, and even at such a moment when they should be in a hurry, they all show a leisurely attitude. Shen Guangyao and teacher Wu Linglan met in the wooden house, smiled at each other, and after the conversation, they calmly left for the shelter in the back hill.

The shelter in Houshan has become one temporary classroom after another. In the small mountain valley shaded by vegetation, students crouched in the dug hole, with grass leaves on their heads as shelters, textbooks and notebooks in their hands, and their pens flying. Standing among the students is the teacher who is lecturing, with textbooks or specimens in his hand. I think, if someone was on the scene, you could certainly hear the sound of all kinds of knowledge colliding with each other in the roar of the plane. The hole here is about archaeology, and a small dinosaur skeleton is placed between the loess slopes; Literature is spoken in the potholes over there, and the voice of the teacher's explanation with an accent has a unique charm; On the other side came the voice of discussing philosophy ... The teacher taught it heartily, and the students listened intently, while the Japanese fighters flew over their heads, thundering and thundering, making people breathless. A group of teachers and students feel at ease, as if they had never heard of it.

green vegetation, yellow soil, gray enemy planes, colorless knowledge. In the minds of teachers and students, the voice of truth drowned out the roar of the plane; The pleasure of imparting knowledge and exploring truth has far outweighed the threat of bombing. This is an extremely calm and indifferent "death-like".

There, Yang Zhenning is sitting in the leaky classroom, Zhu Ziqing is writing under the roadside tea shed, Wen Yiduo is telling poems with an accent, and Hua Luogeng is smiling and clapping in the audience ...

It seems that in such a holy place, it is so imbued, edified and nourished, no matter how maverick, holy and glorious, fearless and regretless or glorious the great ideal is set.

It's a sacred place in Shui Mu.

the sorrow of human nature

holiness is due to the purity of people's hearts, and meanness and sorrow also come from people's hearts. People's hearts are multifaceted and human nature is impermanent. It's always been like this.

fragment 1

I worked hard to get him to go to college. I thought that my happy married life would begin, but he told her: I don't like you anymore. As a result, everything that had been built in my heart collapsed and the picture of happiness was torn to pieces-how could she be willing? How can she willingly? She forced her marriage to his unit with a knife, and from then on, she completely forced herself into a hysterical woman.

Her name is Liu Shufen. She is the wife of Xu Bochang and the Jenny of Wang Minjia.

Xu Bo often refuses to sleep with her. She eats and drinks with her own bowls and cups. She just doesn't say a word when she hits him and scolds him. She just looks at her coldly with her eyes open. Everything about her has nothing to do with him. He hates her.

Liu Shufen looked at her husband and was kind to everyone, but when he faced himself, he was like a cold lake under the abyss, indifferent, determined, disgusted and indifferent. I have been buried here all my life. She hit him, scolded him and turned her hands red, but she didn't get any response from him. I can't take him. She hates him too, but she just can't swallow this tone and don't give up on him.

such a hateful, sad and pitiful woman, when her students sent a letter of complaint, once again broke out hysterically-hysterically, ruining the best youth of a female student. She was already in the abyss, but she also dragged Wang Minjia into the abyss of perdition, so that his students could never be turned over.

if you don't let me feel better, I will never let you feel better.

does she feel better when others are having a hard time? She still has nothing-looking at Wang Minjia who fell to the ground and was bloody and seemed to have no breath, she began to fear and tremble, and then lost her soul. She stumbled back to the door of her yard and met her husband who came back from work.

Their eyes met-the indifference, disgust and hatred in his eyes made her see clearly.

at the last minute, he still refused to say a word to her.

? Cold violence is much more cruel than beating and cursing.

She tugged at the corners of her mouth mournfully and strode forward. Before he could react, before the audience could react, the gray figure beside the well in the yard flashed, and "plop"-he only saw her short hair slightly raised at the moment of jumping-was so fast that people dared not blink. She threw herself into the well simply, neatly and hopelessly, and he was right for the last time

He cried her name loudly by the well and called for help. At this moment, she is as hysterical as she has been all these years, but only a cold well can respond to him.

"You said you would treat me for a lifetime!"

"at the beginning! At the beginning! Can't people change? Why can't people change! Why? "

"everything else can change! This matter can't be changed! Can't change! "

Actually, no one is right or wrong in this matter. She refused to let him go, because she was too angry to be fickle; He treated her coldly all his life because he hated her for thinking that people's hearts are changeable.

So I missed it sadly and lost it completely.

fragment 2

Wang Minjia, who was in her youth, fell into the abyss because of a complaint letter for her teacher.

"You told a lie, and you will tell it with countless lies in the future."

she suffered so much.

Because of the girl's little vanity and her unwillingness to regret in those years, she filled her incomplete dream with one photo after another. This dreamlike dream was smashed to pieces in the swearing of Jenny, the jealousy and frame-up of colleagues, and the punching and kicking of the masses.

she couldn't defend a word, and even didn't have time to shout for pain, so she was unrecognizable, bloody and dying. She trembled with fear and her eyes lost focus. I was sitting in front of the screen, and I was shaking all over, because the chill came up-separated by a wall-and there was a warm commendation meeting on the other side of the wall. Standing on the stage, she sacrificed herself and didn't betray her, and Li Xiang, a male student who volunteered to teach in the frontier, was beaming with red banners and warm applause. On this side of the wall is her criticism meeting. Her prisoner is generally tied to a chair. There are white black characters on the stage, and the audience is angry. A piece of shouting stung her eardrum, which made her almost unable to hear the cheers from Li Xiang.

The film shows this bloody contrast naked to the audience. The sound of speeches, applause and cheers over there, the sound of criticism, shouting and kicking over here, can the voices on both sides be separated by a wall? The shouting floated on the commendation platform, adding irony; The high-sounding speech reached Wang Minjia's ears, writing the sorrow of criticism. After the commendation meeting, people are ready to teach gloriously; The criticism will end, and it will rain cats and dogs, and the blood on the ground will not be washed away.

a wall separates two worlds.

Li Xiang, whose conscience was condemned, finally gave his life in Chen Peng's sentence "The dead are gone, the living are like this" and saved Zhang Guoguo's parents. Zhang Guoguo, who was moved by it, also broke free from the dark interest struggle and drew a hopeful future for the quadruplets.

Three Feelings of Reason

Scene 1

Wu Linglan, who is outstanding in liberal arts but weak in science, insisted on studying science. After failing in the exam, he found the office of President Mei Yiqi.

why do you insist on choosing a manager? President Mei asked him why.

"I feel very practical by giving myself to books every day." Wu Linglan answered like this.

"People keep themselves busy, and they have a numbness and sureness, but without truth, your youth is only these days." President mei said this, and the hot air came out of the teacup at hand.

"Teacher, what is truth?" Wu Linglan's face was confused and confused.

"What you see, what you hear, what you do, and who you are with, there is a kind of peace and joy that overflows from the depths of your heart without remorse or shame."

This is the most peaceful and wonderful interpretation of "truth" that I have heard.

Then one day, Wu Linglan, who has become The National SouthWest Associated University's teacher, stood in the dirt slope bombed by enemy planes and told Tagore, poetry and his own story to a group of students. He said: "When I was your age, I was away from the crowd for a period of time, thinking alone about how my life should be spent. One day, I happened to go to the library and heard Tagore's speech, and the person who accompanied Tagore was the most famous scholar at that time. (Liang Sicheng, Lin Huiyin, Liang Qichao, Mei Yiqi, Wang Guowei, Xu Zhimo) These people stood there, confident and determined, and I was very envious of their calmness. Tagore, on the other hand, was talking about how important it is to be true to myself. At that moment, I was released from the shame of thinking about the meaning of life. It turns out that these outstanding people also think it is important to spend time thinking about and talking about these things. Today, I introduce Tagore's poems to you. I hope you will not give up thinking about life and being true to yourself in the years to come. "

Shen Guangyao is sitting among the students. He accepted many inheritances and became the children's favorite "swinging" in the future.

scene 2

a letter from home makes the mother who is far away from home travel-stained to her son's campus. Shen Guangyao, who has passed the selection test and is ready to become a pilot, knelt in front of his tearful mother.

"Your father and I didn't object when you left home for this place to study, because we missed you and enjoyed life, such as reading thousands of books and going to Wan Li Road, for example, marrying a girl you like and having children. Pay attention not to add children and grandchildren to me, but to yourself, to enjoy the fun of being a parent, and to pursue fame and fortune in your life. There is nothing your ancestors have never experienced, but those are just illusions of life. I'm afraid, "my mother choked up," I'm afraid your life will be gone before you figure out how to live it! "

sobbing.

A mother's heartfelt words and selfless love are touching.

Yes, Shen Guangyao couldn't resist his mother's tears. He swore that he would never join the army again. But what his mother, even himself, didn't think was that Shen Guangyao could bear the harsh living environment, but he couldn't bear his compatriots being bullied by the Japanese army; He can hold the spinning wheel, but he can't hold the bitterness and anger that welled up in his heart when he saw the familiar aunt lose her son. He can avoid the ups and downs of his birth and studies, but he can't avoid the fate of the surging blood of his family.

"What this era lacks is not perfect people, but sincerity, justice, fearlessness and sympathy from the heart."

after all, he resolutely followed the pilot's trajectory according to the guidance of this sentence and flew out without regret. At the moment when he crashed into an enemy ship, he remembered that he was driving a fighter plane to the orphan village. A group of children shouted "swinging" and slid down from the roof, excitedly picking up all kinds of food he had dropped. Young Chen Peng was among the orphans, raising his head in awe and looking at the pilot who brought them hope for life in the fighter plane. He thought of his comrades who participated in the training together. Before this fierce battle, they talked about it with great enthusiasm and went home with glory after this battle. He thought of his old mother who was still elegant. He didn't know how sad, heartbroken and gratified his mother was when she looked at his notes and the words "I'm sorry" he wrote.

sobbing.

"It's not' North China is too big for a desk', but the country is in danger and we are all going to be soldiers."

This pair is important to Shen Guangyao.
