In the original book of the TV series "Heavenly Dao", "Distant Savior", Rui Xiaodan committed suicide after being seriously injured by explosives.
In this regard, many readers have many questions: "Why did she commit suicide?" Although disfigured and crippled, it is better to live than to die. "Her suicide is clearly unreasonable" and so on
Regarding this kind of problem, in fact, the author has explained it very clearly in the book, in order to help book friends explain their doubts, here I will analyze it in detail:
【Excerpt from the original text】:
"The explosive package exploded in Wu Jianjun's chest, and he was blown to the ground and killed on the spot.
Rui Xiaodan instinctively used her left arm to pad her body when she fell to the ground, so when she fell to the ground, she felt severe pain in the calf part, right hand, and right face, and struggled to move only to find that her feet had been blown off, and her right hand and right face not only had serious gunpowder burns, but also because of the large amount of iron filings mixed in with gunpowder, the particles of different shapes of iron filings were densely packed into the skin, and the pain was unbearable. She wondered if she hadn't been killed. But she also soberly realized that she was disfigured, crippled, no longer beautiful, and could no longer stand up.
......
She struggled to prop herself up a little, put the gun into her chest and held it against her heart, pulled the trigger, and with a thud, she committed suicide. ”
The meaning of life is determined only by oneself.
Before analyzing Xiao Dan's suicide, let's talk about the meaning of life. The meaning of each of our lives itself is actually empty after all; life is like a painting, life itself is just a blank piece of paper, there is no fixed meaning. And the choices in our own lives are the brush; our actions are ink. Everyone's life is wonderful because they paint a variety of different contents. The meaning of life is precisely this creativity of infinite possibilities.
Whether Dan Xiao should commit suicide or not, this question cannot be judged from the perspective of our respective values. Because she lives herself; her choice is her own pursuit of beauty; she depicts her own life; she commits suicide, which is the meaning she gives to her own life.
This is not the right or wrong of discussing suicide. Right and wrong, representing black and white, must choose one or the other; and rationality is beyond right and wrong, there is a reason to live, and suicide has a reason for suicide. The author does not encourage the choice of suicide in the face of adversity, but only based on the plot, discussing the rationality of the suicide of Xiao Dan.
Xiao Dan's death corresponds to a higher spiritual realm
Some of us can't understand Xiao Dan's suicidal behavior, for many people, "it is better to die than to live" is simply the truth, because there is nothing more terrible than death, pain, trouble can still persist, but death is "white". This kind of cognition is often caused by one's own concept of not being able to break free from the shackles of life and death, because of the desire for the life of the present, death is naturally the worst choice.
But Xiao Dan does not see it this way, for Xiao Dan, she is living for herself, respecting her own choices, not bound by life and death, interests, greed and anger, she chooses the beauty of life, is love, is the fulfillment of others, therefore, in some cases, death in her eyes, is a good choice.
The suicide of some people in the world is a choice made in order to forcibly relieve physical and mental pain in the case of depression, illness, and despair. But that's not the case with Dan. For Xiao Dan, her soul, like the "daughter of heaven", is originally pure and untainted, not blinded by greed and anger, not entangled in the distinction between life and death, this kind of mentality, no matter how much adversity she encounters, is just to accept the present moment and make what she thinks is the best choice, without suffering from heartache, without seeking liberation but self-liberation.
Therefore, Ding Yuanying's photo of Xiao Dan:
Reaching over, he gently stroked Rui Xiaodan's face and long hair, and murmured in his heart: "When you are born, you are born, when you die, you die, and you come and go freely." , it's not simple. ”
This is the spiritual realm of recognizing Xiao Dan.
Some people will think: Why "when you die, you die"? Serious injury does not necessarily mean "deserved death"?
This goes back to the first point of this article, "when to die" is not a trade-off for other people in society for her, but only Xiao Dan thinks of "when she dies", because she is living herself, when the state she wants to live is lost, for her, this life is useless, living will be worse, will destroy the original beauty, so "when dead". Suicide was just a good end to her own life. Xiao Yawen asked, "Why did Xiao Dan commit suicide?" ”
Ding Yuanying replied, "Because she thinks she's useless." ”
Xiao Yawen said: "Committing suicide without use is generally considered to trample on the dignity of life. ”
Ding Yuanying said: "Talk about dignity, is there still dignity?" Dignity that can be trampled upon is not dignity, it is politeness. The dignity that can be said is relatively dignified, after all, there is no dignity. ”
The "dignity" of life that can be spoken of is the "dignity" of a unified model defined by others from the perspective of weighing pros and cons, rather than the dignity of one's own life. True dignity is not bound by life and death, pros and cons, and respects the choices of one's heart.
Xiao Yawen's voice also illustrates this point: she herself was deeply moved by Rui Xiaodan's transcendent and open-minded view of life and death, and being able to calmly cross this step requires a combination of many factors and transcends the realm of ordinary people. Classes are different, values must be different, that is, two worlds do not have to pay attention to each other or have to understand the sound.
Xiao Dan's choice of death is because of love
For Xiao Dan, when Wang Mingyang pointed at his head and shot, but the bullet jammed and it was difficult not to die, her life was equivalent to picking it up, as if the heavens arranged for her and Ding Yuanying to continue a relationship.
【Excerpt from the original text】
When Rui Xiaodan was completely calm, this moment she truly realized from the rational point of view that the god of death once again passed by her. There was only one thought in her mind: if it wasn't for a stink bomb just now, then she would never see Ding Yuanying again. At the thought that she might never see Ding Yuanying again, her heart surged with a death-like pain, and tears flowed silently. .... On the phone, Ding Yuanying nervously asked: "Is it Rui Xiaodan?" What happened? ”
Rui Xiaodan cried like a wronged child when he saw his father: "Just now I was almost killed, the muzzle of the gun was on my head, it was a stink bomb, I am afraid that after I die, I will never see you again..."
Ding Yuanying's inner evaluation of this matter:
"When death, regeneration, punishment, humanity... When intertwined, when this complex and cruel feeling covers a woman at the same moment, this woman has neither the fear of death nor the heroism of a hero, only love, only the reverence for life. ”
When Xiao Dan finally committed suicide, he said to himself in his heart:
Well, I can't hurt you anymore, go find something to eat yourself.
So, is Xiao Dan's infatuation a delusion in greed and anger? No. Every time Xiao Dan was at the moment of life and death, the only thought that came to mind was not his nostalgia for survival and fear of death, but only his love for Ding Yuanying. This love is not the craving that ordinary people take their lovers as an extension of their own and are based on self-grasping, but a kind of selfless, selfless, and only willing to achieve great love and compassion for each other.
For Dan, death is also a kind of happiness. Death can turn love into eternity
Xiao Dan knew from the beginning that she could not keep Ding Yuanying, and the ancient city was not Ding Yuanying's place to stay for a long time, and the two of them would inevitably be separated. To create the myth of Wangmiao Village is to leave a thought for this love.
At the same time, Xiao Dan has always hoped to turn this short-lived and fruitless love into eternity, and death is a choice that allows him to live forever in Ding Yuanying's heart, Xiao Dan's mind has long been the idea of martyrdom, and he has long been mentally prepared for death.
Rui Xiaodan closed his eyes intoxicatedly and murmured, "I really want to die like this, die in your arms, and then you scatter me into the sea, I am the happiest woman." ”
Ding Yuanying said: "If you want to die, you have to draw an arc in the night sky, what is this?" ”....... Rui Xiaodan grabbed Ding Yuanying's hand with both hands, leaned into his arms, and said softly, "You see, how beautiful the night is." When the time comes, I will lie in your arms and listen to music, listen to you tell me about the kingdom of heaven and hell, and I will die quietly in your arms, and my grave is full of fine pieces of forget-me-not-forget-me, and in the early morning of the light rain, you come through the winding path, holding a flower in your hand and standing silently in front of my grave, ah... I will live forever in your heart. ”.......
Rui Xiaodan stopped at a stall on the street, bought two snacks called "Bekraf", and when he gave Ding Yuanying a piece, he suddenly asked: "If there is really a bomb exploding here now, what will happen?" ”
Ding Yuanying said, "Probably dead." ”
Rui Xiaodan said: "What is said is dead, what will happen when you die?" ”
Ding Yuanying said, "Then there is no such thing." ”
Rui Xiaodan said: "No, it still exists, then love is eternal." ”
Ding Yuanying asked: "Then should you pray for a bomb or should you pray that there is no bomb?" ”
Rui Xiaodan smiled and said, "I can accept existence and eternity, is there any difference?" ”
Ding Yuanying also smiled and said, "This insight is incredible, it points directly to the heart, and it is almost enlightened." ”
.......
Xiao Yawen asked, "Xiao Dan called you, why didn't you stop her?" ”
Ding Yuanying said: "Xiao Dan's phone call has only one meaning, goodbye. What can I say in the face of such a goodbye? What can I say? I knew I couldn't stop her, and Dan knew I wouldn't stop her. Xiao Dan will not have a choice because of my blocking, and I will not stop because I can't stop her. ”
Xiao Yawen asked heavily, "Why?" ”
Ding Yuanying said calmly: "Because, she is a policeman." ”
Xiao Dan's death is also to complete others
"Everyone understands that Rui Xiaodan's approach avoids all subsequent events, no deeds, no wards, no condolences, and her death makes her not become a burden for anyone, and she will not even let others pay a drop of praise for it." ......
What she left him was an eternal soul and eternal beauty, a deeper and more essential reflection on "as value" and "value in life".
Xiao Dan's death is the expression of the author's values and the artistic needs of the work
Tragedy is often an artistic expression higher than life, with people's desire for life, using death to create a gap, but also to prompt people to think and torture people's souls.
The author Doudou has a unique understanding of "death", especially suicide, starting from his first novella "Death is easier than living", to the work "Betrayal" song Yikun committed suicide in disguise, Fang Ziyun committed suicide, Lin Ping committed suicide, Xia Yingjie committed suicide; "Heavenly Dao" Ding Yuanying's father had the will to let Ding Yuanying help suicide before his death, Rui Xiaodan committed suicide, Lin Yufeng committed suicide, Liu Bing committed suicide; "Heavenly Curtain Red Dust" Luo Jiaming committed suicide, Ye Zinong committed suicide in disguise... The death of each person in Doudou's works corresponds to a concept of life, using death to interpret the meaning of life, so that readers can sigh and respect life.
In addition, in another article, "The Distant Savior" and "Heavenly Dao", the author from the author's analysis of the name "Rui Xiaodan", pointed out that "Rui" represents the nine stars of the Qimen Dunjia, corresponding to the death gate of the eight doors, revealing that the author has preset her death when setting the character of Xiao Dan.
The above is an interpretation of Xiao Dan's suicide.
