"Furong Town" is a novel by writer Gu Hua, made into a movie by director Xie Jin, starring Liu Xiaoqing and Jiang Wen, released in 1987, once broadcast, it won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress and other awards, Douban movie score of 9.2, novel 8.7, whether it was then or now is a good work.
In addition to its literary value, this film also has historical significance, the story takes place in 1963-1979, China's most absurd and turbulent, incredible era, the history book is far less vivid than "Furong Town" told.
In 1963, there was nothing special, the town was also very ordinary, Hu Yuyin and Li Guigui were an ordinary couple, they sold rice tofu for a living, a dime a bowl, add soup at will, Furong sister was hospitable, rice tofu was delicious and affordable, the villagers loved to eat, the business was booming, the first shot of the movie was Hu Yuyin and his wife lighting a kerosene lamp to stay up late grinding rice milk, they wanted to make more money and live in a new house.
Rice tofu a bowl of dime, selling 500 bowls to earn 50 yuan, so fifty-one hundred accumulation into more, Hu Yuyin and Li Guigui brick by brick personally, they rely on hard work, finally live in a new house, did not expect trouble to follow.
Li Guoxiang, section chief of the county commercial bureau, went to Furong Town to stay, first went to the home of the peasant Wang Qiu, and saw that the house was poor and broken, there was no decent piece of furniture, and the house was crumbling, and he couldn't help but sigh:
Comrades, it has been fourteen or five years since liberation, and Wang Qiuyu, the root of our land reform, has not completely turned himself around
It is really wholeheartedly for the people at the bottom to consider, and we must let the people turn over and live a good life. But why is Wang Qiu still so poor ten years after he was given land?
The establishment of a new political power will definitely purge the old forces, some of them will be purged by war, and the founding of the country will continue to be purged; the four anti-five antis, land reform, public-private partnerships, bandits, bullies, landlords, nobles, and capitalists have all been purged, the masses of the people have been turned over, the black five categories have been strictly educated for many years, no one has oppressed Wang Qiu, and most of the reasons for being poor and suffering are still due to their own reasons, and those who are lazy and do not think of making progress will not be rich in any era.
Seeing the tragic situation of Wang Qiu's pardon, Li Guoxiang personally cleaned up, pasted couplets, fixed houses, and made the broken house look new, and when he heard Hu Yuyin move to a new home and set off firecrackers, he sighed again:
The rich are rich, the poor are poor, this is the polarization of the countryside, and comrades have a heavy responsibility!
Seeing that the rich can think of the poor, can think of the big gap between the two, Li Guoxiang can empathize with the poorest people, and can feel guilt and pressure, it is not easy.
Wang Qiu's poor Li Guoxiang looked in his eyes, Hu Yuyin's wealth also had to be understood, Li Guoxiang checked Hu Yuyin's account, did not check it and did not know, a check was frightened.
Selling 500 bowls of rice tofu per polder, six polders a month is 300 yuan, the net profit is at least 200, in that era, this income is the level of provincial leaders, Hu Yuyin earned 6600 yuan in two years and nine months, no wonder the new house is more magnificent than the largest house before the founding of the country, no wonder it can buy the foundation from Wang Qiuyu's hand.
This is definitely not a person's energy, Li Guoxiang was even more surprised to check again.
Gu Yanshan, director of the grain station, gave Hu Yuyin 60 kilograms of crushed rice and grain heads (not rice to eat, but to feed pigs) per polder, and a total of 11,880 kilograms were approved, and Li Mangeng, the current secretary of the brigade of the former lover, also strongly supported it. Hu Yuyin did not evade taxes, did not engage in exploitation and crimes, she did not even carefully calculate the account, but she did benefit.
People around will only farm, and Hu Yuyin will do business, she treats people kindly and warmly, the pepper soup is delicious, the people in the town love to eat, she looks beautiful, is the living sign of the stall, she has a flexible brain, the raw materials for feeding pigs have become the ingredients for snacks, she is hard and hardworking, she is still busy in the middle of the night, she has the sense of making money, and can turn the opportunities that others can't see into money.
The result of the layered advantage dividend is that a small trader can earn the same income as the provincial leader.
As a result, in addition to the black five categories that were usually criticized, there was one more person in the fiery criticism and fighting conference in Furong Town.
Qin Shutian was originally the choreographer and director of the county opera troupe, and was beaten as a rightist for collecting folk songs from western Hunan Province, but the townspeople did not dislike him, the cultural people knew everything with a good hand, and the propaganda slogans were written by him, but the class struggle intensified more and more intensely, and small things would become complicated:
Do you hate this class enemy? In particular, some state cadres, do you think Qin Shutian is fragrant or smelly? In 1957, in the name of collecting folk songs and writing reactionary song and dance dramas, this man launched a rampant attack on the Party and socialism, and this class enemy actually held the propaganda power of the whole town, and the propaganda slogans on the walls were written by the reactionary Rightists. Some cadres are hostile to me, have lost their class stance, and which side of their ass is sitting on?
Every sentence of Li Guoxiang is creepy, the class enemy must hate must make stink, do not make stinky you?! An intellectual, making up a folk song is to launch a rampant attack? Writing propaganda slogans is equivalent to mastering the propaganda power of the whole town? Arranging for Qin Shutian to write slogans means that the enemy is divided between me and I, and that we have lost our class position?
Ridiculous words by the person who holds the power of life and death said with a serious face, making people sweat, but the audience did not react, smoking, taking shoes, snorting melon seeds, what should be busy, did not feel funny, did not feel terrible, just when the evening entertainment, criticism is still going on, Li Guoxiang passionately unveiled Hu Yuyin's family bottom.
Earned 6600 yuan in two years and nine months? As soon as these words came out, the masses were shocked, everyone was poor, she was rich alone, the dark emotions were a little bit, the neighbors and neighbors looked at each other differently, pointing, and then met to hide from her, the atmosphere of terror swept in, Hu Yuyin handed over the 1500 yuan deposit to Li Mangeng for safekeeping, and quickly ran to the field to hide from the wind.
When Hu Yuyin returned two months later, the new house was sealed, Li Mangeng was suspended for reflection, Gu Yanshan was dismissed from his post, her husband Li Guigui was killed for assassinating Li Guoxiang, and Hu Yuyin was beaten as a rich peasant and became a member of the black five categories, because her trusted Li Mangeng wanted to be loyal to the party, and after being interrogated for two days, she handed over 1500 yuan, and sat on Hu Yuyin's crime of transferring stolen funds.
A bowl of rice and tofu has led to the destruction of families, the investigation and suspension of grass-roots cadres, and the danger of ordinary people.
In that special era, in the context of class struggle, the dark side of human nature grew darkly, which eventually led to this tragedy.
Hu Yuyin is the town's tofu Xishi, white and tender, cheerful and enthusiastic, very likable, men especially love to laugh with her, the second-rate wang Qiuyu salivates over her plump body, and some powerful men in the town, such as the secretary of the party branch, the director of the grain station, the director of the taxation, and the director of the former cultural center are willing to help her.
This makes Li Guoxiang very dissatisfied, because these people do not want to see her, Li Guoxiang has a very background, superior ability, looks beautiful, thinks that he is superior, but men do not like to play official style and style women with a hard personality, Li Guoxiang has never been so frustrated, she put the reason down to Hu Yuyin will charm people, the seeds of jealousy are like this.
Hu Yuyin's rice tofu stall is full of customers, and Li Guoxiang's state-run canteen is not cared for, the stark contrast makes Li Guoxiang's dissatisfaction more and more intense, the contradiction is about to erupt, when she holds great power to dominate the fate of others, naturally point the spearhead at Hu Yuyin, what makes her even more angry is that Hu Yuyin, a peddler, is actually higher than the income of her leader, selfishness and the environment fuel, tragedy is inevitable.
Once the struggle began, it was uncontrollable with the momentum of a spark, Hu Yuyin was interrogated, and the relevant personnel could not escape their responsibilities and inevitably be implicated.
Gu Yanshan, the director of the grain station, was speculated to have an affair with Hu Yuyin, and in the face of malicious speculation, the old revolutionary who was just right could only take off his pants to prove his innocence, Gu Yanshan lost his male function in the rain of bullets and bullets, and he did not expect to lose even the dignity of being a human being now.
Gu Yanshan's lonely family can be proud, but The party branch secretary Li Mangeng has a family and a mouth, Hu Yuyin's trust and organizational loyalty he can only choose one, he confessed to the organization under his wife's soft and hard hand, and drew a clear line with Hu Yuyin, the party membership is preserved, but the condemnation of conscience cannot be stopped.
In the special era of terror and high pressure, either to save themselves or to become a human being with nothing, human nature struggles bitterly between interests and hearts, and the contradictions and repression of ordinary people are vividly reflected in the movie.
But even if he is as heroic as Gu Yanshan, in the face of absurd and ridiculous reality, how can he strafe at the enemy on the battlefield, attack whom in peacetime, at most drunk and scolded, the strength of the individual is too small, the rise and fall of the individual, the rise and fall of the glory and humiliation, always ranked behind the grand proposition.
A vigorous and vigorous revolution swept in, the young Red Guards were the vanguard, the whole country went down and down the country went to the great purge, in the town of Furong, the new rich peasant Hu Yuyin was overthrown, the old revolutionary Gu Yanshan was overthrown, the party branch secretary Li Mangeng escaped the disaster, and the current leader Li Guoxiang was also overthrown.
A group of teenage Mao children pushed and shoved Li Guoxiang, Li Guoxiang constantly pleaded for explanation, the Red Guards did not listen to a word, and hung up her broken shoes, Li Guoxiang cried while reading her work achievements, the Red Guards still did not listen, one snatched Xiao Ben, a group of people loudly laughed at her private life.
The Red Guards came to Furong Town, did not listen to and did not ask, they knocked down Li Guoxiang, and also searched her home, based on one or two things used by men to conclude that she was a broken shoe, and identified her as a fake leftist, Li Guoxiang wanted to take off the broken shoes, but the Red Guards took out their belts, she had to obediently hang, the revolutionary young general than the gesture of shooting, let Li Guoxiang be honest, she did not dare to move.
Don't look at the young age of the Red Guards, but the powerful can take down the county leaders and humiliate them fiercely, but on the other hand, they will only sabotage, and they will not even turn a blind eye to the flaws they personally uncover.
This passage is very interesting, the young general said, the great revolution has begun, in the future it will depend on your poor and lower-middle peasants, Wang Qiuyu quickly echoed, I am a peasant, in the old society we were deeply exploited by capitalism. There is a problem with this statement, and the young general immediately pointed out:
capitalism? Before liberation, China was not yet capitalist
Wang Qiu's words came back round, they are all reactionaries, they all oppress us!
The young general has read books and has culture, and he has also made mistakes when he hears them, but he lacks basic common sense, and when he hears the words "reactionaries" and "oppression," he no longer asks questions. Wang Qiuyu revealed his more genuine status as a peasant worker than the poor and lower-middle peasants, showing his tragic past of being oppressed and exploited, but he could not even understand feudal society and capitalism.
This shows that Wang Qiuyu is an opportunist, accustomed to talking about the river, and wants to rely on the revolution to gain benefits, how can such a person believe it, but the young generals patted their butts and left, so they handed over the results.
Here's a question: After the Red Guards were "broken," the poor and lower-middle peasants were put in power, but why did only Wang Qiuyu jump out, and where were the others?
They all hid.
Qin Shutian was criticized for fighting them as a joke, Hu Yuyin made a lot of money, they had a discussion, but what the Great Revolution was going to do, why gu Yanshan, who was highly respected and respected, was overthrown, Li Mangeng, the secretary of the brigade branch, was almost overthrown, Li Guoxiang, who was the main leader of the movement, was also overthrown, and all the leaders of all sizes were knocked down and criticized, and they guessed that the Great Revolution should arrest the whole person, and the flat-headed people quickly hid.
In the turbulent years when everyone is defending against us and defending against everyone, it is safest to hide.
Wang Qiuyu did not know what the Revolution was for, but he was not a silent majority, he had nothing, he was agile and flexible, and he keenly felt that it was good to follow the movement and shout slogans.
Wang Qiuyu suffered a lot in the old society, and when he went to the new society with a pure class background, he tasted a lot of sweetness, and he dreamed of becoming rich in his dreams, so he took the lead as a backbone every time he exercised.
The "root of land reform" Wang Qiuxiang and the "political cadre" Li Guoxiang need each other, Li Guoxiang focused on cultivating him and supporting him to become the secretary of the party branch in Furong Town, Wang Qiuxiang could not have dreamed of these things in his dreams, and he could not lose the benefits in hand, so during the great revolution, he exposed Li Guoxiang to consolidate his position and interests.
Only shouting slogans to show loyal people sit on the first chair in Furong Town, the ability to work is certainly not, Wang Qiuyu can't even read the documents, convey the revolutionary spirit, just remember to dance, he is uncoordinated, singing out of tune, nothing is conveyed, he only remembers to take advantage of the advantages, promote his own people, to eat specialties.
The rightist Qin Shutian and the rich peasant Hu Yuyin swept the streets together every day, and the two people who were affected by politics and shouted and beaten by everyone felt sorry for each other in the midst of suffering, and they had feelings and a baby for a long time, but they were the objects of control and wanted to apply for marriage.
The town leader Wang Qiuyu was not happy at first, and Sister Furong actually fell into Qin Shutian's mouth? Sweeping the streets is still on hand? When class enemies still steal chickens and dogs? Wang Qiu pardoned them fiercely and humiliated them with a white pair of mourners:
Two dog men and women, a black couple
Dead people paste white couplets, two big living people to get married is a legitimate need, even roosters and hens, boars and sows, male dogs and female dogs can be married, how can lonely men and widows not?
Qin Shutian is very optimistic, no matter whether the black couple or the white couple, it is always a husband and wife, and it is good to admit that they are husband and wife. Reality soon woke him up, Qin Shutian was sentenced to 10 years in prison, and Hu Yuyin was sentenced to 3 years.
This punishment was solemnly announced, the couple was soaked only silent obedience, they meditated in their hearts, "Live, live like cattle", the crowd of onlookers sympathized, intolerant, helpless, but no one dared to say a word.
Ordinary people's hearts are cold and heartbroken, and even the old comrades who have worked in the revolution for decades wonder what the purpose of the bloody struggle was in those years, and whether it was to let the lazy man Wang Qiu turn himself into a bully.
Fortunately, the night was finally over.
Unjust, false and wrongly decided cases were rehabilitated, the town returned to its former peace, Qin Shutian, who had been imprisoned for 9 years, was also released and returned to his hometown, his face was full of vicissitudes, his hair was half white, and he saw Li Guoxiang, who influenced his fate, there was no resentment, no anger, only relief, if he couldn't think of it, how could he survive from 1957 to 1979?
When Li Guoxiang saw Qin Shutian, she suddenly did not recognize it, she had struggled in the front line over the years, and there were countless people who had fought, and after recognizing it, she was a little embarrassed, and then she smiled and greeted her
I have suffered a lot over the years, and your rehabilitation this time is still a letter signed by me. It's all in the past. Maybe I can do you a favor.
Li Guoxiang has always been very sober, able to be knocked down and climbed up in the political whirlpool, and then rose step by step, relying on this sobriety.
Li Guoxiang is very clear that criticism and struggle during the struggle period is the center of gravity, the whole person arrests people and beats people without mercy, no matter how difficult and miserable Hu Yuyin Qin Shutian is, she does not move her heart of compassion, harmony in the development period is a requirement, Qin Shutian is a comrade, she will be concerned about the condolence initiative to stretch out her hands, how much guilt is true, but the key is that she must always step on the rhythm
Wang Qiuyu, who came from the grassroots, did not have Li Guoxiang's mind and background, and his former partners ended very differently, when Li Guoxiang ran to a new life in a car, Wang Qiuyu fell from the peak to the bottom, he couldn't stand this gap and went crazy, his clothes were torn, and he knocked on the broken gong and shouted in his throat: Movement! Exercise!
But no one in Seremban Town paid any attention to this madman.
A person who longs for unearned gains, in the era of frequent movements, thinks that he grasps the rope of climbing upwards, and when the wind stops, he knows that he has been fooled, and the greed and darkness of human nature are magnified by materialism, power, and passion carnival, and Wang Qiuyu's madness is the biggest ridicule and criticism of this film.
The beginning of the film is the lively rice tofu stall in 1963, the end of the story is the rice tofu stall that was red again in 1979, the interval was a full 16 years, 16 years of time is too much suffering and humiliation, the fate of many people has turned, a grain of ashes of the times, falling on a person is a disaster, business can be fired again, but people can not return to the past.
When an era comes to an end, when all the dust settles, the devastated people do not pursue or complain, only a good hope for the future, they have tenacious vitality at any time, and they can bravely live.
But this history can not be so forgotten, director Xie Jin after "Wrangler" and "Garland Under the Mountain", the perspective is aimed at ordinary towns, the movie "Furong Town" has no heart-rending accusations, no hoarse shouts, no needles that go deep into the bone marrow, only calm and restrained presentation.
Director Xie Jin used a bowl of rice tofu and the fate of several people to ups and downs to expose and reflect on that special era that had long been silent, the story was simple, but the reverberations stirred up were long gone.
