More on this article in Chapter 2
Chapter 1 Farewell to the Overlord
# Cheng Diyi and Duan Xiaolou
From the very beginning of entering the Peking Opera class, Di Yi has a deep affection with Xiao Lou.
We can see many touching pictures: Xiao Lou is punished, kneeling in the courtyard in the dark night and winter, Butterfly Yi looks at him painfully through the window, and when Xiao Lou returns, he is naked, but he wraps the quilt around Xiao Lou. Then the scene where they snuggled up and slept together must be hard for everyone to forget, and Butterfly hugged Xiao Lou tightly, as if afraid of losing him.
And Xiao Lou also has a deep love for Dieyi, he began to know that Dieyi did not want to learn Peking Opera, that time, he let Dieyi go, although he was very reluctant.
And later let the boss come, listen to Butterfly always sing bad "I was originally a female petite", so he burned him with a pipe, so that Butterfly sang right for the first time.
There is no doubt that they all like each other, but Xiao Lou is only a good brother's feelings for Dieyi, and Butterfly's affection for Xiaolou is beyond affection.
Because he always plays Qingyi in the play, sings in a female voice, and learns to be a female form, over time, in society and roles, he is more inclined to women. For Xiao Lou, he has also always been a female role, such as helping Xiao Lou lick his wounds and painting faces for Xiao Lou, and his intimate actions all reflect his extraordinary feelings for Xiao Lou.
Especially after the emergence of Ju Xian, his jealousy of Ju Xian and his resentment towards Xiao Lou have obviously realized the feminine characteristics of his social roles.
# Cheng Butterfly coat with small lepers
The deepest impression left by the little leper on Di Yi was the sentence: "When I become a horn in the future, I will eat sugar gourd every day" and a scene "Finally hanged himself because he was afraid of being beaten by the master." ”
He was prepared for suicide, because of the horror of watching Butterfly's beating, or perhaps because he felt that he would have to be beaten a lot of pain to become a horn and feel afraid?
In short, he was prepared to commit suicide, and before he died he hurriedly swallowed all the food he had eaten. This may be another option for many people who study Peking Opera but do not have a role.
Dreams cannot come true, they can only be searched for in a world of nothingness.
But he left the impression of Butterfly's life.
After the butterfly was dressed in horns, he heard the roar of the rock sugar gourd before entering once, and he was stunned.
What did he think of at that time?
A leper's dream? The death of the leper? Maybe it's shock and frustration?
# Cheng Dieyi and Zhang Gonggong
Zhang Gonggong defiled the butterfly clothes.
Becoming a horn is not necessarily just honor and joy. They may not know it, at first they just desperately ran forward, but then when they reached the goal, they found that the result may not be beautiful, but they can only accept it and cannot change it.
Ironically, on the eve of the founding of New China later, the eunuch who used to call the wind and rain and do whatever he wanted, Zhang Gonggong, became a poor old man who bought cigarettes, and was already delirious and only knew the people who sold cigarettes.
Was everything he had done forgotten in his chaos? But the person who is hurt is an irreparable wound of a lifetime.
Between people in society, one thing may be insignificant for one person, and when it is for another person may be decisive.
# Cheng Dieyi and Ju Xian (Mother)
From the beginning, Dieyi was full of hostility and jealousy towards Ju Xian, because she stole Xiao Lou, the most important person in Dieyi's life. There may be a battle between them, and Butterfly is destined to be the loser.
However, in the scene of Butterfly And Ju Xian's confrontation, he has a certain attachment to Butterfly, which is a kind of attachment to his mother. Especially when he was addicted to drugs, Ju Xian hugged him and coaxed him to sleep.
Di Yi was sent to the Beijing Opera class by her mother since she was a child, and she didn't even see her mother's last glance, the empty door without a shadow. Hence his desire for maternal love.
And Ju Xian and Dieyi's mother's origins are the same, they are prostitutes, which gives him a kind of illusion, Ju Xian has many characteristics of his mother, female, spicy, prostitute.
Therefore, his feelings for Ju Xian are very contradictory, wandering in hostility and attachment.
# Cheng Dieyi and Yuan Siye
Maybe Fourth Master Yuan is his confidant, in Beijing opera.
At the most painful time when Butterfly lost Xiaolou, he made Butterfly hallucinate. He admired Butterfly, and he also gave Butterfly a lot of help, in all aspects.
But Xiao Lou is hostile to him, perhaps because his special care for Butterfly Yi also makes Xiao Lou jealous?
But his fate surprised Xiao Lou and Di Yi, a celebrity who was at ease in society, and eventually encountered a society that could not get away with it. He died like that, crushed to death by history.
# Cheng Butterfly with Little Four
Di Yi picked up Xiao Si, and after the master's death, she adopted Xiao Si. He wanted XiaoSi to continue the development of Peking Opera.
But later, Xiao Si ruthlessly sent Butterfly To hell. He preempted the opportunity for Di Yi to take the stage, and he preempted the role of Yu Ji.
And for Dieyi, a person who regards Peking Opera as life, or even more important than life, if even Peking Opera is deprived, then what else can he have left?
# Cheng Di Yi and Beijing Opera (Master)
The master led the butterfly into the world of Peking Opera, a stern, traditional, but full of understanding of Peking Opera, who eventually fell while singing Peking Opera and passed away.
Undoubtedly, he gave Butterfly a great influence.
Butterfly clothes slowly went from knowing only its voice, its shape, to understanding the essence of it, and finally seeing it as life. He is very inbound when performing, often reaching a state of being with the characters in the play and one.
That kind of immersed performance, all the external noise and annoyance can not be affected.
# Cheng Dieyi and the Era (Late Qing Dynasty, Invasion of China, Republic of China, Early New China, Cultural Revolution, After)
In a turbulent era, people's minds are also very flustered and uncertain. Even the state, the nation, you cannot be sure, and you cannot be sure of anything else.
People seem to float in the air, without roots. People who are good at life may not be able to give birth (such as Yuan Siye), and people who understand the common sense of life may not be able to give birth (such as Ju Xian).
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the people, the drama, were passively played with like the remnants of feudalism like a flag, unable to grasp their own destiny.
The Japanese came, and the names of the innocent people were not spared. Perhaps art can be borderless, but public opinion cannot accept it, and national feelings cannot accept it.
The Republic of China, on the other hand, is still turbulent and can change at any time.
In the short period of new China, it was difficult for Di Yi to accept the deformation of the form of Peking Opera, after all, it was not the impression of Peking Opera in his heart. But he can't decide everything, because the wheel of time is constantly spinning.
He was always singing, no matter what period it was, perhaps, every period needed art. Art has no temporality. However, in this case, butterfly clothes always have to be disturbed by the outside world from time to time, and politics, a boring but unavoidable thing, is sprinkled with pushpins on the way forward of art.
The Cultural Revolution is coming, and everything is really subverted?
Revolutionize the life of culture, criticize culture, and break all inherent cultures. Maybe it would be good if it was only carried out in academia, but when power is in the hands of immature hot-headed people, it may become tainted. Without culture, without standards, without history, everyone can be what he wants to be, and in the end, it is nothing.
# Cheng Butterfly and Death
Butterfly is really tired, going through so much glory and turmoil, getting, losing, and getting.
In the end, he chose to end his life in the play. He could not grasp himself all his life, and he was destined to drift all his life, and finally he became his master in the matter of death.
A perfect picture, the overlord Bieji, can never be repeated. Leaving the lonely Chu Bawang, life, maybe it is really just a drama.
Love, goodbye, separation, resentment, hatred, shame, there must be a bitter ending to the end.
# Cheng Dieyi and Zhang Guorong
Yu Ji died, Cheng Diyi died, and Zhang Guorong died.
Inside and outside the play, true or false, but the result is the same.
