The film tells the story of people from four different times, from Tsinghua School to Tsinghua University and The National SouthWest Associated University, and inherits the spirit of the university and the school. It seems to be irrelevant, but it is actually interlocking. The four protagonists were taught by others in the confused moments of life, and then decided to listen to their own hearts and make choices through their own ideological struggles, not afraid of the world and not asking about the East and the West.
People in every era will be confused and confused by different secularities.
For example, the modern film critic Zhang wanted to help a quadruplet family, but the secular Robert said, "I thought I saved a child, but I didn't expect to recognize a relative" and asked Zhang to avoid the quadruplet parents for two weeks. Robert wanted to use "ambition" to get Zhang to show evidence to get back at his boss, and Zhang was hesitant at that time. On the eve of the Cultural Revolution, Wang lied because of vanity, Li Yin tried to protect himself, and Xu Bo hurt Wang because of his feelings of money and his reputation. During the Anti-Japanese War, Shen Guangyao chose not to be a soldier because his mother said not to pursue "fame and fortune". During the Republic of China, Wu Linglan gave up her excellent liberal arts because "the best students studied practical subjects".
Some people are lucky to meet the person who "wakes up the dreamer with a word", but not everyone is lucky.
Zhang's father said in front of Li Xiang's grave, "My parents just want you to be healthy and happy, and want you to do what you feel happy about." This makes Zhang dare to resist the secular without hesitation and fearless. In an understatement, he said to Robert, "I'm not such a person." He refused to go with the flow, insisted on "getting out of the mud without dyeing, and being clear without demon", and finally made Shen Guangyao resolutely listen to his heart. "What this era lacks is not a perfect person, but the liberal arts that Wu Linglan picked up from her heart." What doesn't follow the social trend is what Teacher Mei said: "Don't put yourself in a busy and practical numbness. The real truth is, "what you see, what you hear, what you do, and who you are with have a kind of peace and joy that overflows from the deep heart, without regret and shame." The end of Wang and He is that "the dead are buried in graves and the living are in dry wells".
"Spark Lamp" has been handed down from generation to generation, pointing out the direction for people who are confused.
In the film, Shen Guangyao saved the king lying in a pool of blood indirectly by feeding the hungry children, regardless of the world. In order not to implicate Li Xiang, Wang took all the responsibilities and saved Li Xiang, while Li Xiang gave his own food to Zhang's parents and saved Zhang's parents. Zhang placed a quadruplet family and saved a quadruplet family. Everyone who seems to be disconnected from each other is actually conveying his kindness and warmth.
In real life, there are "secular" representatives everywhere. When you help the fallen old man, "Young man, don't help him, be careful not to be mistaken"; When you choose art, "it is useless for you to learn these things, and there is no future"; When you want to travel, "home is safe, and there are many bad people outside"; When you accidentally make a mistake, "I haven't seen the world, what?"
We must also dare to fight against the "secular". The greatness in the film is because they bravely live their own lives and make choices for themselves. As the saying goes, "Go your own way and let others talk." When you successfully return, once secular people will only look up to you and see your light from the inside out. They often envy your success, but they don't know that you are firm in the face of decisions.
At the end of the film, Zhang's monologue: "What you see and hear often makes you depressed. The secular world is so powerful that it is impossible for you to change them. " However, if you have the opportunity to know your life in advance and know that youth is only these days, I wonder if you will still care about things that the secular wants you to care about, such as how much you have, which will make you more glorious and what you deserve to be loved. When you grow up, you will come out because of the green shoots, cheer and jump at the rising sun, and give others kindness and warmth and happiness. But while praising other lives, we often forget our own preciousness, even forever. May you remember your own preciousness and resist malice when you are hit; I hope that when you are confused, you firmly believe in your own preciousness, love what you love, do what you should do, listen to your heart, and ask for nothing more. "
Isn't that the reality now? A woman said before, "I'd rather cry on a BMW than laugh on a bicycle." Now the conditions of blind date are car, house and education, which means you have to have a lot of things to be loved. People fight for positions and win competitions by any means for a kind of glory. Where are the young people who study for the rise of China and the great rejuvenation of the nation? Most young people who study now don't know why they study, whether for their parents, fame or themselves. I think everyone has an answer in mind.
How many people say to you, "Young man, the world is not worth it" and how many people will say to you, "What is trapped in the world?" This film not only awakens countless young people kidnapped by the secular world, but also awakens an era and a nation, warning you never to give up thinking about life and be yourself.
May you be fearless, understand your own preciousness and listen to your heart.
