Title: 1942
Introduction: The film is adapted from Liu Zhenyun's novel Wen Gu 1942, which is based on the historical event of the drought in Henan in 1942, in which millions of people left their homes and went out to escape from the famine. The narrative is divided into two clues: one is the people on the road to escape from the famine, mainly focusing on the two families of their old boss Fan Dianyuan and the tenant blind deer; The other is the Kuomintang government, whose indifference and corruption and their contempt for the people have promoted and deepened this disaster.
After watching this movie, I felt very heavy. Later, I learned that the creative process of this movie was also very difficult, and it was approved after three changes, because human nature was too ugly.
In p>1942, under the background of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, there was a drought and locust plague in Henan, which resulted in the failure of basic grains. So the people embarked on a long road to escape from the desert in Shaanxi.
Henan is full of tragic images of sorrow everywhere and thousands of miles away. On the way to escape, you can eat wild vegetables and grass bark as long as you can fill your stomach. People eat cats and dogs eat people. In order to survive, women are even exchanged for a very small amount of food. The victims had to escape from the Japanese bombing while fleeing the famine, and the people were in dire straits. At this time, the lights in the American embassy in Chongqing are gorgeous, and the songs and dances are rising.
Chiang Kai-shek only regarded the articles about the victims published in the newspaper as rumors and demagogues. It was not until the international journalist Bai Dexiu brought him the photos taken by the victims on their way to escape that Chiang ordered the allocation of 8 million relief food to 3 million victims. But the "dirty" government at the bottom still wants to give this person only two and a half pounds of relief food.
Lao Fan and the victims who fled all the way to Luoyang thought they could get relief food, but they were told that "the government has designated disaster areas as northern and southern Henan, and Luoyang is not a disaster area, so you have no relief food". I can't stop my tears from flowing out, and the helplessness of the bottom people is really worrying.
The government has done nothing to conceal the facts, and only the general public will suffer in the end. Chiang Kai-shek asked Li Peiji, chairman of Henan Province, "How many people died in Henan victims?" "162 people" and "actually?" More than three million people. What ridiculous data, but behind him is a life.
