Feeling that a well-known professor advocated that we destroy nuclear weapons win the trust of the United States and the loss of state assets, and that a teacher blatantly distorted history, I eagerly recommend this film to remind us to remain vigilant at all times. In 1973, the film was not reviewed, and in 1974, Xie Tieli directed a remake, and in 1975, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Ye Jianying, Li Xiannian, and Deng Yingchao watched it successively and gave it high praise. However, the Ministry of Culture and Jiang Qing were still not satisfied after changing more than 100 shots, and finally Marshal He Long's daughter and Xie Tieli jointly wrote a letter of complaint to Chairman Mao, and after Chairman Mao gave instructions, Deng Xiaoping personally presided over the Politburo review, and the film was approved for release. It can be said that this movie has touched the nerves of too many people, and this is also its biggest attraction.
Before liberation, Xiao Haixia was born on Tongxin Island, and her father, Li Eighty-Four, was a fisherman who got up early and worked for the fishing tyrants but could not feed Xiao Haixia. Only tearfully threw her into the sea, but thanks to Uncle Liu's timely stop, Haixia was able to retrieve a life. However, the owner of the fishing shop, Chen Zhan'ao, was fiercely greedy and greedy, and with the title of a stick of mercury handed down by his ancestors, together with Mr. You Er Dog, the accountant, he was in a state of treachery and robbery, cruelly exploiting and squeezing the fishermen. When harvesting fish, 100 pounds became 84 pounds, and when selling grain, 84 pounds became 100 pounds, and the fishermen were miserable.
Liu Dabo and Li Eighty-Four could not bear it, and not only took the lead in exposing his tricks, but also led the indignant fishermen to fight, and Chen Zhan'ao had to submit to the fishermen. But no one expected that Chen Zhan'ao, who had a grudge in his heart, would actually collude with the bandits to kill Li Eighty-Four and Uncle Liu when he went to sea. Shuanghe and Uncle, who sneaked back, told the mother and daughter the truth and fled to the mainland. Soon, Chen Zhan'ao, fearing that Uncle Liu's son would avenge his father when he grew up, secretly set fire to the mother and son. At this point, the black-hearted Chen Zhan'ao still did not give up, and sent You Er Dog to forcibly recover the fishing boat that Haixia and his father had bought for his work. In this way, the hungry mother and daughter did not even have their only home, the fishing boat.
The lonely mother and daughter were forced to move into a broken house on the mountain, and Haixia's mother died of a serious illness in a fit of anger, and since then, this ill-fated girl has begun to rely on her grandfather again.
In the autumn of 1949, the defeated Kuomintang soldiers who had retreated to the island stirred up the island again, Grandpa was taken away to repair the fortifications, and Xiao Haixia fled into the bushes after being beaten, and has been with the long night ever since. But the PLA's pursuing forces soon also attacked the island, and Xiao Haixia did not know what kind of people the PLA was. After returning home, the hungry Little Haixia couldn't care less about cleaning up the mess, so she picked up the bitter vegetables on the ground and prepared to cook. The People's Liberation Army saw that there were people in the family, and only then did they ask Haixia to agree to enter the courtyard, originally everyone wanted to rest here, borrow Haixia's pot to cook rice, but found that the pot was cooking bitter vegetables, the instructor consulted with Xiao Haixia, the soldiers ate her meal, and then she ate the soldiers' meal. In this way, the warriors each bowl and filled the bitter vegetables clean.
This bitter dish is astringent and unpalatable, and only the poor can eat it, and the instructors do this so that the soldiers must not forget that everyone is from a poor background, and that the purpose of the revolution is to liberate the poor and not to suffer from the old society again. Knowing that the People's Liberation Army was such a team, Xiao Haixia took the rice handed by the instructor and burst into tears, because in that dark era, no one ever cared about their lives or deaths.
In the blink of an eye, the remnants of the PLA's Guanchao Mountain began to encircle and suppress, and the battle was extremely fierce, and the sound of guns and artillery was incessant. Xiao Haixia burned two buckets of boiling water at home and braved the cannon fire to pick up the mountain, in Xiao Haixia's heart, this was the only person she could count on.
However, when Instructor Fang saw the situation, he not only saved Xiao Haixia who was almost blown up by the shell, but also immediately threw her down the mountain. Unexpectedly, before Xiao Haixia could reach the bottom of the mountain, the warriors launched a charge. After the liberation of the island, Shuang Heshu, who had fled to join the revolution, was sent back to become the township chief and led everyone to carry out the struggle against hegemony, revenge with vengeance, and redress of injustice. Xiao Haixia could not cry, exposing and accusing Chen Zhan'ao of his accumulated blood debts, and under the condemnation of not forgetting the hardships of the class, You Er Dog, who had aided and abetted the abuse, was sincerely afraid and exposed Chen Zhan'ao's secret guns and looted money and jewelry, and was thus exempted from liquidation. Although Haixia reminds Shuanghe and Shuyou Er of the crime, Shuanghe and Shu are also extremely evil, but Shuanghe and Shu are credited with exposing it and treating him leniently.
Later, with the help of Instructor Fang, Xiao Haixia not only learned that the Communist Party and the People's Liberation Army were a team of poor people, but also learned culture for the poor. However, just when she was full of hopes for the future, the sea bandits kidnapped Chen Zhan'ao. A few years later, Haixia became a militia platoon leader; because at that time, the Remnants of the Kuomintang were constantly harassing the mainland, the Korean Peninsula was also being bullied by US imperialism, and there were also many Kuomintang agents hidden in the country, as well as landlords who were vainly trying to counterattack and reckoning, and the bourgeoisie who were not willing to lose, Chairman Mao called on the people's army and the people of the whole country to unite with the same hatred and crush all enemies and reactionary forces. Therefore, the transferred Instructor Fang not only led everyone to form a male militia, but also a female militia.
However, it is not easy to lead this team well; there is Ah Hong, who has a deep-rooted idea of male superiority and female inferiority and is deeply opposed to his wife being a militiaman; there are also Dacheng aunts who are not accustomed to the crazy outside one day and do not allow Yuxiu to join the militia; there are also Caizhu who can't stand the hardships and do their own thing; in response to Ah Hong, Haixia told him that once the male militia goes to sea for a few months, what should the sea bandits and enemies do when they come to the island? In view of Dacheng'er, Haixia reminded him that Chen Zhan'ao had forced him to pay debts and almost forced Uncle Dacheng to die, and in the end Uncle Dacheng still died under the guns of the Kuomintang, and these hatreds could not be forgotten; in view of Caizhu's squeamishness and willfulness, she could come and go as she wanted, and was unorganized and undisciplined, Haixia patiently enlightened and helped her, encouraging her not to live up to Chairman Mao's trust, and to hold the barrel of the gun tightly and guard this hard-won happiness. In this way, Ah Hong no longer objected, Dacheng Aunt also became supportive, and Caizhu realized her mistake.
After that, they engaged in production and training at the same time, and their days were never as enthusiastic and hopeful as they are now. Under Haixia's vigilance and strict training, the female militia achieved better results than the male militia in the target assessment, and Haixia was even more bulletless, and the gun hit the balloon in the air, winning a round of applause. After a while, the male militiamen went to sea in the midst of the clamor of gongs and drums. On this day, a disabled person came to the island, and the introduction letter said that his name was Liu Atai, who came to look for his sister who had been separated for 35 years, and his sister was 6 years old, and his family was forced to sell her as a child bride for her livelihood. According to his description, Aunt Dacheng was very similar to his sister, and happened to meet Haixia in this scene, so she took something and took it to Aunt Dacheng's house. On the way, he learned that Ah Tai Wasa was a fisherman, his leg had been blown off by the Kuomintang a few years ago, and now he lives off haircuts. After that, the brothers and sisters recognized each other, and Liu Atai stayed.
Since the island is the front line of coastal defense, the two have been separated for 35 years, many things Dacheng aunt has forgotten, for the sake of caution, Haixia reminded Shuanghe uncle to write a letter according to the address of the letter of introduction to verify Liu Atai's identity. After saying this, he discussed the militia training with Shuangheshu again, and did not think that Shuangheshu was pushing and blocking on the grounds that production was busy and the world was at peace at present. After Haixia's anxious eyes, he carried the map and said that there were still two islands in front of the island to cover, even if the enemy really came, it was also a matter for the People's Liberation Army, and now the top priority was to turn the island into a land of fish and rice.
As soon as Haixia retorted that he could not let down his guard, he was so angry that he threw up his hands and left. There was no way, Haixia had to use the night to carry out training to block the enemy from landing on the island without affecting production. However, while passing through a rock slab, the slab suddenly overturned, causing Ah Hong's sister-in-law to fall and be injured. On the road every day, last night the rock slab suddenly overturned, and Haixia suspected that someone was engaged in sabotage, so she came to find Shuanghe Uncle, but shuanghe uncle not only did not listen to the explanation, but also reported to his superiors that it was because Haixia did not listen to dissuasion and had to engage in night training, and in a rage, he swept Haixia's militia platoon leader away. Soon rumors spread on the island that the militia platoon would be withdrawn and that they would no longer stand guard posts in the future. Knowing that the rumors all started from Yu Er Dog, who opened a commissary, Haixia was keenly aware that things were not as simple as they seemed. Sure enough, when she looked for a reply to Liu Atai's hometown, she found that there was no reply, and when she asked, she knew that the letter was written and placed in the commissary, so she arranged for the staff to quickly write another letter.
The next day, Secretary Fang came to the island to check the rock slab, and Grandpa Haixia told him that Liu Atai was not like a fisherman, because the fishermen did not wear shoes for a long time and had to stand firmly on the boat, so the toes were separated, but Liu Atai was close together. He also said that on the night that Liu Atai came, he gave You Er a haircut. Haixia arrived and told him that the reason why the rock slab was overturned was because someone had pulled out the stone below. Not only that, Haixia also found that the post office did not have a record of the letter being sent, which showed that You Er Dog was deliberately detained.
All kinds of indications show that the stone slate incident was deliberately sabotaged by someone, there were many doubts against the two people, and recently the enemy on the sea was rampant, but some of our comrades forgot the complexity of the struggle, and the Lao fang held a party branch meeting and asked Shuanghe to take out his gun, but he did not expect that his gun had rusted. At that time, Lao Fang criticized Shuanghe, saying that the enemy was sharpening the knife, but you were in storage, which was very dangerous, and more importantly, the rust on the gun was easy to wipe, and the rust on the mind was not easy to wipe.
In order to make everyone deeply aware that the enemy will not be willing to be destroyed, he also asked Haixia to read a passage of Chairman Mao's words: "The imperialists and the domestic reactionaries will never be content with their defeat, and they will still have to struggle for the last time." After the whole country is pacified, they will also engage in sabotage and disturbance in various ways, and they will try to restore China every hour of the day, which is inevitable and beyond doubt, and we must not slacken our vigilance. At this point, Shuanghe regretted it, and after Shuanghe realized his mistake, Haixia led the female militia into production. In Haixia's view, it is right to engage in production and make everyone's life rich, but it must not let down our vigilance.
In view of the domestic and foreign situation at that time, Tongxin Township expanded the militia organization, and Haixia became the commander of the second company. Just as soon as he took office, he encountered a difficult thing, the elderly Uncle Wangfa refused to hand over the gun. It turned out that these people who had soaked up in bitter water had also resisted, but the gun was in the hands of the Kuomintang reactionaries, and every time they resisted, in addition to blood and tears, their lives were even more bitter. Now that the days are better, the militia has guns in their hands, and any enemy who comes can fight, so Grandpa Wangfa, who was once exploited and squeezed, is reluctant to drop his gun, fortunately, the young generation enthusiastically signed up to join the militia, and the enthusiasm for defending the family and defending the country is high, and Grandpa Wangfa is relieved to hand over the gun.
Soon, Haixia learned that Liu Atai had not returned to Dongshan Island to repair the pusher at night, so she hurried to investigate, and she did not expect to meet Liu Atai in a remote and difficult to walk dense forest when she cut a short road. Liu Atai's legs and feet were not good, but he walked this way, and when he met Haixia, he looked nervous, and Haixia was even more suspicious of him. Sure enough, when Haixia reported to the district, the district also said that our army had just detected the mysterious radio signal, and said that it had been discovered once a week ago.
Haixia looked through the militia's records of checking the post and found out which day Liu Atai had bought a razor on Dongshan Island, suspecting that the transmitter was hidden in his broken leg, and our militia carried out close surveillance on him. On this day, Liu Atai took an empty wine bottle to you er dog's commissary to change wine, Liu Atai left on the front foot, and You Er dog hid in the back room. But Haixia followed closely behind, and in one fell swoop grabbed a personal stolen goods, and it turned out that the cork was a note stating the action at 11 o'clock tonight. The evidence was overwhelming, and You Er Dog had to confess that Liu Atai was the black wind of the sea bandits of that year, and his leg was interrupted when he robbed Chen Zhan'ao, and this operation was to cooperate with Chen Zhan'ao in counterattack, and then his task was to set fire to the fishery warehouse and send signals to the enemy at sea.
The stones under the slabs were also removed by him. Just at this time, Secretary Fang received a phone call saying that the enemy had been found on the surface of the sea. In order to make up his mind, Secretary Fang asked Haixia not to move Liu Atai before 11 o'clock, let him complete the report, and at the same time let the militia enter the alert.
In the blink of an eye, Aunt Dacheng was sure that Liu Atai's telegram had been sent, and immediately opened the door as a trumpet, helped the militia capture Liu Atai, and searched for the transmitter in the severed limb. When the time came to night, our militia and the People's Liberation Army entered the position and waited for it. After the two enemy ships appeared, we immediately set off several piles of fire, and the enemy mistakenly thought that You Er Dog had succeeded, and immediately sent kayaks to land.
Chen Zhan'ao did not expect that our People's Liberation Army had already laid down a net of heaven and earth, and as a result, as soon as they landed, they were confronted head-on. On the other side, several of our heavy artillery pieces also began to bombard the enemy ships on the sea, and in this way, our People's Liberation Army and the militia launched a wave of thunderous artillery fire, and the enemy ships fled into the wilderness. The dead and wounded of the brutal enemy led by Chen Zhan'ao, along with Chen Zhan'ao, were all annihilated. The next day, our military and civilians celebrated the victory with gongs and drums, and at this time Liu Atai's fabricated hometown also wrote back to them, and sure enough, there was no Liu Atai there. Having learned this lesson, the island has intensified militia training.
The film "Haixia" is adapted from the novel "Island Female Militia", directed by Xie Tieli, released in 1975, and the protagonist is based on Wang Yuexia, a militia hero from Dongtou County, Zhejiang Province. Wang Yuexia's childhood was full of bitterness, and it was not until her hometown was liberated to join the militia that her life got better. The story of the film is very simple, but it conveys an extremely profound truth: landlords, bourgeoisie, and reactionaries will not be willing to fail, they will infiltrate and fight back in various forms, we cannot forget the suffering we have suffered in the past because we have lived a few good days, and we cannot be indifferent to the safety of the country and lose our vigilance against the enemy because we are not soldiers. Chairman Mao said that after the enemy with guns has been eliminated, the enemies who do not hold guns will still exist, and they will inevitably fight with us to the death. Facts have proved that a hidden enemy does exist and that it is a vain attempt to deceive the people by various means in an attempt to steal the fruits of the victory of the revolution. While we are grateful for the selfless dedication of our ancestors, we should also heighten our vigilance and defend the revolutionary original intention of common prosperity.
