"Half flame, half sea water": No one can firmly grasp the result after meeting.

what is love ? I seldom think about this problem. Does this mean getting old to some extent? I think about this problem because I read Wang Shuo's Half Flame, Half Seawater.

After watching the Liu Fendou movie in 2008, the role of Liao Fan is full of ferocity. "Say you love me, even if it's fake." Liao Fan's lines of Zhang Ming, I think, are the most essential motivation of this film, while Monica's last strength of Lichuan didn't come out until she died.

I was attracted by Zhang Ming, a bad rascal. She thinks that love is single-minded and companionship, and Zhang Ming is a lonely wanderer. As Wang Shuo wrote in the original work, "the sun poured out from behind the heavy curtains." I walked gently to the window and looked at the busy and sunny street outside through the gap in the curtain, pulling the curtain tightly. I don't like sunny mornings. I feel lonely when I see thousands of people rushing to work and school. I have nothing to do during the day and no one is waiting for me. My friends are sleeping. "

Zhang Ming's occupation is cheating and extortion. This instability may make it difficult for him to accept something definite, such as Lichuan's love for him. Even if Lichuan doesn't say "I love you", she has sunk in. Zhang Ming thought it was fun, but it turned into thrilling love. As far as this version is concerned, it is ambiguous whether Zhang Ming loves Ai Lichuan or not. Maybe he doesn't love anyone and is full of sadness about everything. Maybe he knows. But his love is a kind of torture, such as deliberately coming into the house a few minutes late, which leads to Lichuan losing her virginity.

It is because of his indifference that Li Chuan has become like them. I guess Zhang Ming may have used this ruthless torture to bring Lichuan back to his life for his own good, but this guess seems untenable, just like Douban commented that the film only talked about what it was, without discussing why. Even with Zhang Ming's death, we have to wonder what his guilt and redemption are, or because this time, he realized that he fell in love with Lichuan who had left. This obscurity may improve the interpretation space of the film, but the film is really superficial. After watching it, we will only think that Zhang Ming played by Liao Fan is abnormal to some extent.

I found the 1989 version of Luo Gang as Zhang Ming. Both this edition and the 2008 edition were written by Wang Shuo. The 89th edition is faithful to the original. We saw the emotional conflict between Zhang Ming and Lichuan. The next morning after the evening, Lichuan said to Zhang Ming, I want to have a baby for you. At this time, she was still a student. In the face of such urgent and intense love, Zhang Ming is a little hesitant. Behind this hesitation is a portrayal of the different personalities and psychological differences between men and women.

Zhang can't give her the life Li Chuan wants. He likes this sense of alienation, and facing this fixed feeling will suffocate him. In this version, we can see how Lichuan has rapidly declined, even on the mahjong table, called Zhang Rogue, and failed in this respect. Such extreme depravity even Fang Fang, a good friend, said that the girl was finished. But in this painful torture, Lichuan's suicide is even more sympathetic. "Do you like comedy or tragedy? I like tragedy. " .

The nature of this tragedy is also blessed by fate. We can see that Lichuan is an ordinary girl. After being stimulated, all the abnormalities made by this ordinary girl are actually based on pain. This is no longer love, but obsession with love. What is interesting about this version is that an acquaintance between Zhang Ming and Hu Fang was arranged later. Like Zhang Ming, the little girl Hu Fang came to a strange southern seaside and thought she had loved and been cheated. At this stage, Zhang Ming, I think there is remorse in it, so I will persuade Hu Fang that you are still young and beautiful.

I think the potential significance of this sense of right and wrong in time and space is that if we go back to the past, Lichuan actually has a choice. She has fallen and betrayed herself, but she is still young and beautiful. This kind of mistake is not in Zhang Ming, but the result after each encounter. No one can firmly grasp. This may be fate.
