In modern times, Zhang () is closest to us. He became a victim of the struggle between the superior and the superior, lost his job, and faced the help of quadruplets who promised to support the company's proposal at that time. Help or not? Take the black material from the superior, revenge or no revenge?
1962, on the eve of the Cultural Revolution, Chen Peng (played by Huang Xiaoming) had to say that the leader finally chose an upright and good character that suited him, and he was no longer greasy and overbearing. When the girl Wang (Zhang Ziyi) discovered her disfigurement, she wrote an anonymous letter to her mistress to protect herself? Or behind her?
1938, during the Anti-Japanese War, Kunming, Shen Guangyao (played by Wang Leehom), as a rich boy, facing the national disaster, is it his own pleasure in life or the brilliant future of the country? Filial piety or loyalty? 65438-0923 Beiping, Wu Linglan (played by Chen Chusheng) was the first in English and the last in physics. Is it liberal arts or industry, truth or conformity?
Everyone is faced with a choice. As the opening Zhang said, "If you know the life you are going to face in advance, do you still have the courage to come?" Each generation has influenced the next generation with its own choices, so that sincerity, justice and sympathy can be passed on. Among them, the most fascinating is the years of National Southwest Associated University and several scenes in the film.
When he ran the alarm, Shen Guangyao was cooking lotus seeds in the pot, as described in Wang Zengqi's prose. "Some students of the UN General Assembly didn't run the alarm. As far as I know, there are two people. One is a female classmate, surnamed Luo. She washes her hair as soon as there is an alarm. Everyone else has left, and the hot water in the boiler room is not needed. She can open it and wash it. She can have as much water as she wants! The other is a classmate from Guangdong, surnamed Zheng, who likes to eat lotus seeds.
As soon as there was an alarm, he used a big mouthwash jar to cook lotus seeds on the boiler burner. The alarm is off, and his lotus seeds are rotten. Once a Japanese plane bombed the United Nations General Assembly, and the bombs were dropped on the north and south courtyards of Kunming. This man, Zheng, is listening to the banging of bombs nearby, and is still stirring his crystal sugar lotus seeds on the boiler next to the new school building and the big library.
Running the alarm is of course romantic, and it is an opportunity to fall in love. When the students of the conference ran the alarm, many of them were in pairs. As soon as the air raid alarm sounded, the man waited at the roadside of the new school building, sometimes carrying a bag of snacks, Zhu Baoli, peanuts ... his female classmate came, "Hi!" So happily walked out of the back door of the new teaching building side by side.
Running the alarm can't be said to be the same life and death, but there is a vague sense of danger, which is different from watching movies and walking the green lake. "There are wars and disputes, and resources are scarce. The dormitory of the General Assembly is a thatched cottage, and the classroom is made of iron. When it rains, it will jingle, so there is a bridge in the movie, sitting quietly listening to the rain. This plot comes from Chen Daisun, a professor at The National SouthWest Associated University Law and Business School. How helpless and romantic!
Because the school building is simple, students often go to the teahouse to read books, chat and play bridge, because they can rub the lights in the teahouse. Yang Zhenning once mentioned him and Huang Kun, and Zhang Shoulian often mentioned the days when they made a scene in the teahouse and the proprietress continued to drink tea. In the movie, Michelle's mother said to her son.
"When you are thousands of miles away from home and come to this place to study, your father and I have no objection, because we miss you and can enjoy the fun of life, such as reading thousands of books and taking Wan Li Road, such as marrying a girl you like and having children. Be careful not to add children to me, but to yourself, so that you can enjoy being a parent.
There is nothing in your life that your ancestors have never experienced. Those are just illusions of life. I'm afraid that if you haven't figured out how to live your life, your life will be gone! "One of the few good education, simple and clear expounds the significance of reading, the pursuit of life.
Why do you want to pursue a good education is because you can see a new world in the process of pursuing knowledge, and get pleasure and fun, not to cope with the college entrance examination, but to realize your parents' wishes. At that time, the learning conditions were relatively difficult, and it was necessary to study in a bomb shelter, but its academic freedom, diverse ideas and inclusiveness were extremely rare.
Just like in the movie, Wang Guowei with pigtails turned to a foreign teacher after class and came in to ask about his English review. Teachers hold a forum to debate an academic issue, even if the debate is flushed, it will not hinder friendship. In order to ensure the freedom of academic thought, The National SouthWest Associated University advocated generalist education, paid attention to heuristic teaching method and opposed indoctrination teaching method; Free transfer, the first and second grades are basically uncertain;
Students and teachers in this period have great courage. There are both "everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" and "independent personality and free spirit". Mei Yiqi famously said: "A great scholar is not a building, but a master." Chen Yinque wrote: "When scholars study and study, Gai will be freed from the shackles of vulgar truth, and truth will be carried forward. Thought without freedom is better than death. "
