Dragon article, he is very simple, as the absolute protagonist in "The Leader", the play has already explained this role very clearly.
Dragon Article: "I just want things to be the way they should be"
Dragon article: "Done right, it's important." ”
Hao Veterinarian said of the Dragon article: "But people only pay attention to one thing. (Defeating the Japanese and taking the South Heavenly Gate)
Simple enough, a few sentences summed up the whole of the dragon article.
As the absolute protagonist, the dragon article appeared relatively late, but that is also reasonable, because he wants to "make things the way they should be", so it must first be clear, "What is the way things are now!" ”。
"Now", the war is just slaughter, smashing tanks with machetes and butts, and the enemy has had enough of playing, ready to harvest our soldiers like crops. Those who can survive can only pretend to be dead, and can only retreat, all the way to the southwest frontier.
"Now", the soldiers are the ruffians, rotting in the shelter, lack of food and medicine, no supplies, and the anger of the heavens who are looking for food!
"Now", the soldiers are just numbers, fill the number with zhuangding, fill a regiment if you want a regiment, and fill a division if you want a division. Dead, wounded, made up, because they are just numbers.
"Now", the weak and the strong are the rules, the fist is the rule, the dragon is angry, but he uses his fist to beat out a room of goods.
"Now", the slogan shouted in the sky, the radio every day victory, but more and more defeated soldiers. No one believed what came out of his mouth, and everyone didn't want to be cannon fodder, but they had no choice but to do cannon fodder again and again.
……
These are the "nows" that rot and can't be pulled out.
But the cannon fodder still wanted to struggle to live out as individuals, so they wore shorts and vomit bags and fantasized about the plane to Burma.
The reality, however, is harsh, with a group of cannon fodder in trousers, airlifted to Burma, once again becoming cannon fodder.
Then, the regimental commander came!
The regimental commander did not become the regimental commander immediately, although he saved the lives of the cannon fodder. If it is a divine drama, the grace of saving lives is treated with courtesy, and everyone will be grateful to Dade for returning the favor with his life.
But this is not the case in reality, and the classic is classic because it reflects reality. The reason why the play "The Leader" has become a classic is also the same.
The cannon fodder who rotted in the "present" did not believe in such a "non-official" regimental commander at all, and after a period of doubt, under the instigation of annoyance, there was soon a ridiculous "mutiny".
In a farce-like mutiny, we came to the river valley, and then a group of almost naked soldiers, like mountain fish, tore apart the Japanese squad. Then the regimental commander actually picked up his own soldiers. Yes, cannon fodder who want to struggle to live like individuals, find the person who can make them live like a person, they will not blindly follow a person for the sake of gratitude and will not blindly follow a person for the sake of official positions.
They just want to live as individuals, or die as individuals. Now, they have this person.
The leader of the group practiced his own philosophy,
Now, they are no longer slaughtered
Kill the Japanese army in the jungles of Burma to gather the defeated troops, and hold the South Heavenly Gate on the Nu River to win time for the east bank, until he leads the commando team to drill tunnels to occupy the tree fort in one fell swoop, making the harvest trap of Takeuchi Lianshan become a nightmare for the Japanese army itself.
Now, a soldier is a soldier
They practiced the honor of soldiers, in Chanda, cannon fodder shrunk their clothes and reduced food to save rations to recruit new recruits for the Sichuan Army, and on the sacrificial flag slope, eating salt water banana roots, even so, the dragon article would not curry favor with Yu Xiaoqing for political correctness.
Now, how can you be clothed, and be clothed with the Son?
Soldiers are no longer numbers, but brothers. Yu Xiaoqing said, "I want you to mention the three words of Yu Xiaoqing, and what comes to mind is my regimental commander!" I mention my brothers in robes, and I think of my regiment! He didn't do it, but the Dragon article did.
In Burma, the first thing he fought for was to cure Meng's legs;
On the first occasion of guarding the South Heavenly Gate, he knelt down and begged for a half-cardinal shelling, just to bring back a few brothers alive.
For the sake of military discipline, he ruthlessly drove away the wife and children of the dragon, but he was also doing his best to help the dragon raise his family;
In order to train new recruits to reduce casualties in future wars, he knew how unfavorable the political impact of releasing the Japanese army into Zenda would bring to himself, and he did so.
In order for the recruits to have the opportunity to learn some life-saving skills, he did not hesitate to kneel down to the American advisers.
The Dragon Article has the entire Chuan Legion in its heart, and in the end, for the entire Sichuan Legion, the Leader of the Regiment is the Dragon Article!!!
Now, it is no longer the law of the jungle
The whole Sichuan Army is a whole, and all comrades-in-arms help each other. The dragon will also be a profiteer, but it is no longer for self-interest, but for the sake of team support.
Now, there are no empty slogans
The dragon article will not use military orders such as mountain bullets to suppress his subordinates, nor will he use deception to send his subordinates to death. Although Meng was annoyed and repeatedly felt that the dragon article had deceived the cannon fodder, in fact, the danger of each action, how could these veterans not know, but they verbally cursed and grinned, and in fact resolutely executed. They knew that following the dragon article, they were no longer cannon fodder. Although they will still die in battle, they will be worth dying.
Even so, the dragon article is not a demon in Yu Xiaoqing's mouth, he is still human, he also has his pain, and the source of this pain is the little bookworm.
Before he encountered the little bookworm, as the veterinarian said, "But people only pay attention to one thing." He tried to make things as they should be to defeat the Japanese army and take the South Heavenly Gate.
But the little bookworm told him that we were not living for the sake of fighting, and we were going to go on.
The dragon article was tangled, before, he was very simple just to fight, to win the war! Now, he is still thinking about the significance of fighting? Is it to keep the brothers alive? Or let the brothers have a wish?
This entanglement reaches its climax during the sandbox drill, and the entanglement makes the audience feel blocked.
Until Hao Veterinarian's accident broke this entanglement, yes, under the death of the country and the family, why did he live? He had an epiphany, no longer entangled, led the cannon fodder to embark on the road of heroes, and won the South Heavenly Gate. Many people died in battle, but their hearts also lived.
The TV series ends here, but in the script, there is a follow-up. After the South Heavenly Gate, when Yu Xiaoqing announced that the next step was to fight a civil war in the north, Long Wen chose to commit suicide and use suicide to do his last possible way to save his brothers.
The dragon article is both a demon and a mortal, a regimental leader and a brother.
