The movie "Mi Xiang" is adapted from Fu Aimao's novel "Marry to Death".
Mi Xiang is a woman who grew up in Aba, Sichuan, and after getting married, she gave birth to a somewhat silly son, Pi Wanzi.
Mi Xiang's husband could not face the stupid son who was always dangling in front of his eyes, first scolding Mi Xiang and Pi Wazi at every turn, and then he often played missing, and finally forced Mi Xiang to divorce him.
Although the son is stupid, but it is also the heart of the mother, for the future of the pi baby to rely on, Mi Xiang does not want to continue to stay in the village, she has to think of a pen for her son to settle down.
So Mi Xiang thought of her sister Misha who grew up together.
Misha's husband died in a small coal kiln in western Henan, earning her a considerable pension, and Misha suddenly became an upstart and lived a life that everyone envied.
Since "marrying death" can change a woman's fate, Mi Xiang, who starts from reality, wants to gamble with herself, so she decided to take the road of "marrying death".
Through "marrying death", Mi Xiang saw the true feelings of men in Wang Camel, and in order to be worthy of Wang Camel's affection, Mi Xiang resolutely gave up the huge pension he exchanged for his life.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > a well-targeted choice</h1>
With the help of Mi Xia, Mi Xiang traveled thousands of miles from Sichuan to Henan.
On this trip, her purpose was very clear, to find a bachelor miner to marry, and then wait for him to have an accident and receive a huge pension as a family member.
So, after settling down in a cheap rental house, Mi Xiang went to set up a stall selling bean blossoms near the mining area.
Bean blossom is Aba's flavor snack, that thing can taste fresh, can not withstand hunger and can not quench thirst, rice fragrant stalls can not sell a few bowls a day.
However, Mi Xiang did not care, the bean flower stall was just a sign for her, and she was not drunk in order to find a suitable person for herself.
The conditions for Mi Xiang's selection are simple: as long as she is a single miner without parents and brothers, her looks, age, and height are all irrelevant to her.
She has a strong sense of purpose: it is absolutely not okay to have direct relatives, and when the time comes, someone will come to share the property with her, and she does not want the fat flesh of her hand to be bitten by others. She made up her mind that if she wanted to eat, she would eat alone, otherwise, she would have taken the road of "marrying to death" in vain.
At this time, a bare stick man named Wang Hump walked into Mi Xiang's sight.
Wang Hump is in his early forties, he has not yet married his daughter-in-law, his facial features are ugly, and a lump of flesh protrudes from his back, as if he is carrying a large baggage, and he walks up and bends like an ostrich.
However, even the ugly man will also see the color of the color, looking at the young and beautiful Rice Xiang, the King Camel is salivating, in order to get close to the Rice Xiang, he not only comes to eat bean blossoms every day, but also uses the method of often giving small gifts to the Pi Baby, and he has become friends.
Mi Xiang, who had a clear goal, looked at the wang camel that was automatically delivered to the door, and quickly figured out his bottom line: no father, no mother, and no brothers and sisters.
Mi Xiang, who was aiming at the target, quickly seized the opportunity, and she opened the web like a spider, waiting for the king camel to pounce on her.
Sister-in-law Ma, who opened the restaurant, saw the "concubine intentions" of the two and said to Wang Hump:
"Camel, you like to eat bean blossoms so much, just move them home and help them live."
Listening to Sister-in-law Ma's words, Mi Xiang was in the middle of the arms, wang hump pushed the boat along the water, and the two people with their own hearts hit it off.
Before moving to Wang Camel," Mi Xiang insisted on going to the township government to get a marriage license, and she understood very well that without a license, there would be no name, no name, and after Wang Camel's accident, she would not get a pension, so she would not be ambiguous at all.
Mi Xiang marries Wang Hump, no matter who looks at it, it is a flower planted on cow dung, and Wang Hump is also very self-aware, he is not unaware of Mi Xiang's thoughts.
In order to dispel the concerns of the king camel, Mi Xiang had long been prepared, in front of the king camel, she showed all her documents, she wanted to let the king camel know his origin, let the stone in his heart fall to the ground.
Mi Xiang is willing to officially register her marriage with herself and clearly reveal her identity, which is unexpected by Wang Hump. He originally thought that Mi Xiang might be a woman who "let go of pigeons" and had to be wary of everything.
When Mi Xiang put the documents in front of him one by one, Wang Hump was touched, and he said to himself in his heart:
"People sincerely want to live with themselves, compare their hearts to their hearts, and they must not treat other people's wives and children badly."
Mi Xiang successfully took the wang camel and took a big step on the road of "marrying death", although she lacked morality, she felt that it was worth it for her son.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="51" > a collision of greed and kindness</h1>
Wang Hump did not fall in love with Mi Xiang at once, and his feelings for Mi Xiang were divided into three stages.
The first stage: coveting. Marrying back to Mi Xiang, he is to make the people around him envious and satisfy his own vanity.
The second stage: temptation. Afraid of Mi Xiang's plan to "marry to death", he hesitated to wait and see, leaving a lot of eyes.
The third stage: true love. At this time, he was single-mindedly thinking about Mi Xiang's mother and son, and was willing to bear everything.
When it came to the stage of coveting, temptation, and true affection, before Mi Xiang could speak, Wang Hunzi took out all the money he had saved, bought back a small Simmons bed for Pi Wanzi, and bought a color TV for Mi Xiang.
He was distressed by Mi Xiang, no longer let her go out to sell bean blossoms, in order to earn more money, he sometimes worked in shifts to the kiln, working for 16 hours, often tired like mud.
The kind and loyal Wang Hump, who only knew that he had registered a certificate, was a family that was sticking to the skin and meat, and he did not know that Mi Xiang had never regarded him as her husband. From beginning to end, Mi Xiang did not look at him squarely.
Marrying him, whose waist is bent like shrimp and rice, although Mi Xiang looks like a kind and loving person on the surface, in fact, there are a hundred reluctances hidden in her heart.
Mi Xiang was full of thoughts: When will there be an accident in the mine? The king camel died, and she wanted to get the money to lose her life as soon as possible.
Every time she was crushed under the king's camel, Mi Xiang would close her eyes tightly, like a lamb to be slaughtered. She often told herself that it was all for her son, and she had to earn a decent family business for him.
Only by thinking like this can Mi Xiang reluctantly live with the king camel.
However, more than half a year has passed, and the things that Mi Xiang is looking forward to have not happened. Wang Camel came and went safely every day, making Mi Xiang anxious and disappointed, and she couldn't understand why the coal mine where Wang Camel worked had not had an accident for so long.
Mi Xiang watches the TV news every day, and when she sees reports about the mining disaster, she trembles with excitement. Originally ignorant of coal mining, she now knows everything about coal mining, and she does not believe that Wang Hump will always shine on the stars.
At this time, Mi Xiang, driven by desire, has lost the conscience of being a human being, and can think of anything that lacks virtue.
In Mi Xiang's hometown, there is a superstitious saying that a woman's menstrual blood is an unlucky thing, and if anyone has a vendetta against which family and secretly buries the toilet paper stained with the woman's menstrual blood in the territory of which family, the family will be unlucky sooner or later.
Mi Xiang, who was fascinated by greed, secretly wrapped a sanitary napkin he had used, smeared and ran to the mine where Wang Camel worked, and buried the thing in the coal pile.
After doing this, Mi Xiang could not feel at peace for a while. Every day after the king camel went to work, she thought: This hunched man may not come back, right?
At the thought that Wang Hump was about to go to see The King of Yama, Mi Xiang couldn't help but shiver, and she couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was in her heart.
However, this feeling is like a gust of wind, which will soon be blown away by the expectation in her heart, and Mi Xiang constantly comforts herself:
"Life and death have a destiny, riches are in heaven", they do not look for others, but look for the king camel to "marry death", these are all providence, providence can not be violated. If the king camel died under the mine, it was his fate, and it had nothing to do with himself. Even if he didn't take his life money, he would still die.
Thinking like this, Mi Xiang's heart was much calmer, and the guilt was also reduced by more than half, in her heart, Wang Hump was almost a dead ghost.
When she went to bed at night, Mi Xiang did not even dare to approach the king's camel, and she tried everything to perfunctory.
In the anxious waiting, Mi Xiang's mood is getting worse and worse every day:
Why does this hunched ugly man live so long and strong? What if he never had an accident himself? Is it necessary to guard this old undead camel to suffer all the time and end up empty-handed?
Under the rapid fire attack, Mi Xiang was bedridden, wang Camel was distressed at the sight of it, and he was eager to cut off the flesh of his body and feed it to him, so he took a leave of absence to go into the city, wanting to buy some rare things to come back and make Mi Xiang happy.
Perhaps it was fate, Wang Hump had just entered the city, and the coal mine roadway he was working on collapsed, burying six people at once.
As soon as she heard that there was an accident in the mine, Mi Xiang's illness suddenly improved, and she jumped out of bed with a loud cry, and ran to the mine with a shawl, she thought about this day for too long.
However, to Mi Xiang's surprise, all six miners who were killed were brought along, but the body of the king camel was not seen.
Mi Xiang shouted like crazy, "What about the camel? What about my camels"? She was afraid that she would not be able to find the body of the camel, and the mine would not pay the pension.
Mi Xiang's anxious madness made Wang Hunzi burst into tears, and when he returned from the city holding two grapefruits, he happened to hear Mi Xiang's heart-rending shouts, and he thought that Mi Xiang was so anxious to shout because he had an accident.
Looking at Mi Xiang, who was crying to death, the tears of the king camel kept on stopping: there are women who are so sad and miserable for themselves, even if they die, it is worth it.
At night, the honest and generous Wang Camel looked at Mi Xiang lying next to him, and his heart was full of feelings, for him, it was a great satisfaction to have Mi Xiang mother and son.
Wang Hump and Mi Xiang were together, and all he thought in his heart was gratitude, and he thanked Mi Xiang's mother and son for giving him the warmth of his home. And When Mi Xiang and Wang Camel are together, the most important thing she thinks about is when Wang Camel encounters a mining disaster, and she can get the loss money as soon as possible.
When greed meets true feelings, I don't know if Mi Xiang's heart will be shaken.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="92" > the awakening of conscience</h1>
Since marrying Wang Camel, Mi Xiang has fallen ill with insomnia, and the most she dreams about is that Wang Camel is dead, and the mine has lost a lot of money to her.
She was ecstatic to count the bills one by one, but she couldn't count them. Moreover, those bills had become hadbwarm coins, and she held them and cried and cried.
The king camel escaped the mining disaster because she entered the city, which made Mi Xiang grit her teeth in hatred, and Mi Xiang felt that the huge amount of life-loss money, she could have got, was the damned Wang Camel who stole the money she had already got.
Mi Xiang attributed the mine disaster to the sanitary napkin, so she buried another sanitary napkin in the coal pile.
On the way back, because of the unclear vision of the dark, Mi Xiang was wrapped under the wheels of an oncoming coal pulling truck and broke a leg.
In those days when Mi Xiang was hospitalized, Wang Camel's hospital home ran at both ends, carefully taking care of her and Pi Wanzi. Looking at the stooped and busy Wang Camel, Mi Xiang couldn't say what it was like in her heart.
She kept thinking: This is God punishing her, the camel is single-mindedly good to her mother, but she is expecting him to die, God can't see it, so she broke a leg.
One night, Mi Xiang woke up and saw wang hump with her hands around one of her feet, her face resting on it.
Living so big, no one has ever been so good to her, Mi Xiang suddenly burst into tears, she felt that the man in front of her did not look very ugly, and the kindness of Ci Mei was very reassuring.
Mi Xiang lay in the hospital for three months, Pi Wazi did not suffer a single grievance, wang camel not only took good care of him, but also bought back a small lamb called "Baba" to accompany him. Mi Xiang knew that Wang Hunzi had already regarded PiWazi as his own son.
The kinder the wang camel, the more Mi Xiang felt that he lacked morality, and compared with the generous and benevolent Wang Hump, Mi Xiang felt that he had lost his conscience.
Under the influence of Wang Hump, Mi Xiang's conscience began to awaken, and she thought to herself, since this man is good to himself with his heart and lungs, let's live with him honestly.
So she set up a bean flower stall near the coal mine again, and no longer let the wang camel dig coal, and she sincerely said to the king camel:
"Camel, we will never go down to dig coal again, even if we starve to death."
Wang Camel listened to Mi Xiang's words, found a handyman in a small factory, he chartered a ridge slope, used the off-duty time to open up the wilderness to plant trees, the trees he planted, when the pi dolls became adults, they were almost talented, and they could sell the trees to beg for a daughter-in-law for the pi babies.
However, not long after the days of peace and comfort, Wang Hump suddenly offered to continue digging coal in the kiln.
Mi Xiang did not accede to his request: "Didn't you say that you would never go down to the kiln to dig coal again"?
Mi Xiang had already thrown aside the idea of "marrying to death". She had become accustomed to the care of this man, and the fate of her and her child had been tightly bound up with that of this hunchbacked man.
Where did Mi Xiang know that the reason why Wang Hump had to dig coal again was because he knew that his time in the world was running out.
Wang Hump is already in advanced stages of liver cancer, and there are only three months left.
In order to earn enough living expenses for Mi Xiang's mother and son, Wang Hunzi, like Mi Xiang, started the idea of a mining disaster.
The kind king camel knew that he was sorry for the mine owner by doing so, but if he did not do so, he felt sorry for Mi Xiang's mother and son.
After some psychological struggle, the guilt-ridden Wang Camel created a mining disaster for himself without bothering other workers.
Mi Xiang never dreamed that the Wang Camel had died under the mine, she had long forgotten the matter of "marrying death", and she was determined to live with the Wang Camel.
When the bad news came that Wang Camel had died alone under the mine, Mi Xiang's heart was like a mirror, and she understood everything- Wang Camel was still making plans for her and PiWazi when she was dying.
Mi Xiang hated herself to death, she silently scolded herself in her heart that she was not human, from that moment on, she knew what the truth was, but unfortunately she knew too late.
According to Mi Xiang's opinion, the ashes of the king camel are buried in the ridge he has reclaimed, where there are trees he planted for PiWazi.
Mi Xiang wrapped her arms around the fur dolls, touched the trees affectionately, and whispered to them, "You guard the camels for me, I have to go."
A few days later, Mi Xiang took the baby and the little lamb back to her hometown. Yang Jiawa Coal Mine paid Wang Huzi a pension of 260,000 yuan, and she did not receive a single point.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="122" > written at the end:</h1>
The story of Mi Xiang allows us to see the light of human nature.
In the face of the conflict between good and evil, the goodness of human nature completely overcomes desire and greed.
The love in "Mi Xiang" is not moving, but through its depiction of human nature, it well highlights the power of kindness and truth.
In this world, everyone has desires in their hearts, but what is missing is the true feelings from the heart.
Desire sometimes makes the originally good soul greedy, and goodness will make people get rid of greed and find the conscience of humanity.
The kindness, loyalty and sincerity of Wang Hunzi not only made Mi Xiang's heart tremble for it, but also enough to cleanse the filth in the hearts of the world.
With his true feelings and spirit of sacrifice, Wang Hunzi finally awakened Mi Xiang's conscience, allowed her to get rid of her inner greed and complete a spiritual self-redemption.
"Mi Xiang" makes us believe that love can open all the cold doors in the world!
