Love can support anything that is broken.
Sticking to your love, even if it's just a handful of fragments, can at least make your short life without regrets.
Everyone is looking for dreams, the dream is not divided into west and east, a moment of spring breeze is proud, and the unknown scenery is hazy.
The talents of heaven are all useful, and there is no need to fly high in dreams. Why should we seek dreams in which the sweets and bitters are empty, and advise the king to cherish this moment. When you are infinitely pleased, why seek your dreams.
---- Xu Guanjie's "Genius Idiot Dream"
Advise the king to cherish this moment. I am overjoyed.
The song "Genius Idiot Dream" was written to the Kowloon Emperor of Hong Kong. At first, I thought this drama was a costume film because of the drama famine, but it was not. Why should a modern film from 2000 be named after this Kowloon Queen?
Kowloon Queen, I think, this is deliberately done by the screenwriter, it is respectful. If the Kowloon Emperor represents the unique memory of the previous generation in Hong Kong, then the Kowloon Empress is a true portrayal of the character of some Hong Kong people of the previous generation, insisting on love, sacrificing for love, cherishing life, cherishing everything. After all, people's thinking and views 21 years ago were very different from those of now.
Even as time passes, the city has always had its mark. This mark includes people like Ah Si, such people.
Everyone called her Ah Si. Ah Si is just a code name, at first she had a name, but she was repeatedly changed by the eldest sister, just for her own wishes. This is probably the beginning of Ah Si's hidden forbearance, clinging to love, sacrificing for love, and forbearing for love. Single-mindedly to fulfill your dreams.
In modern parlance, there is only love that is paid for without reciprocation, and that is not love. That's silly. Love requires both parties to operate together.
Does Ah Si love Jiaming? Love, love warmly enough. Jia Ming loves Ah Si, I can only say, not enough love. Because he is both cowardly and selfish.
At the beginning of the story, Ah Si said that he himself has a name, called Liang Yanhao (there are no subtitles in the play, this is my own writing), what a beautiful and poetic name. However, he was disgusted by Sister Xia (Jiaming's eldest wife), and repeatedly changed her name, changing her brother to gold, in order to carry her dream of having a son and her husband getting rich. But after changing back and forth, the wish was still disappointed. As for why it was called Ah Si in the end, the eldest sister said that it was for Chong Xi.
Let you enter the door, this is to give birth to a son, to make a fortune, you are so useless, simply to the family as a maid. As for why it is called Ah Si, perhaps there are four people in the family, but they just have a code name, which is both a tool for giving birth and a servant and an old mother. Sister Xia only gave birth to one daughter, but she was so confident. Where did this confidence come from, naturally jiaming gave it.
In fact, Ah Si was pregnant with a male fetus twice, but both were miscarried in the fourth month. As for why the abortion was miscarried, it is not known.
From the daily hard work of Ah Si, even running, I can probably imagine it. Because these things are not mentioned in the play.
Yes, Ah Si came to be a concubine, or willingly in the Dong family, without any name for a stay of 25 years, busy every day, but still happy. In the current view, it is the little three.
However, Ah Si's busyness is not for himself, only for Jia Ming to have his own Chinese medicine shop. This is Ah Si's dream.
In the play, Ah Si got up to work in the morning, Jia Ming greeted Ah Si, the big sister in the house coughed a few times, and Jia Ming could only laugh at the road carefully.
I would like to ask, in reality, is there such a little three? Persist for love, sacrifice for love, and endure for love.
Maybe there is, maybe not, I dare not say.
Mother Bear, another Ah Si, is trying to live for herself. We try to live, and when we live, we live to become all kinds of fours. But we work hard, positively, for love, for love, for dreams, we are us.
The mother bear in the play escaped from Shanghai, because she has the same fate as Ah Si, so she has become a good friend of Ah Si.
They fed stray dogs together, encouraged each other together, and watched the Kowloon Emperor write on the wall together, and only when she really felt sorry for Ah Si, because she had the same past and pain, she understood Ah Si's hardships better.
She had persuaded Ah Si countless times to let her leave Jiaming and live her own life like her. Ah Si said that he had come from the countryside and could not read, did not understand anything, and could not do anything.
I believe that Ah Si has his own dream, and this dream is based on love. Pay for love, endure for love, work hard for Jiaming's independent pharmacy, worry about Sister Xia, and work hard for her daughter's dream. Oh, that's silly. It's heart-wrenchingly silly.
When talking to the Emperor of Kowloon, Ah Si pointed out that he knew sizi happily and said, I am also an empress. This scene, which I still remember deeply, is deeply at the same time infinitely sad, although it is a joke, but it is also infinitely lamented. In fact, her name is Liang Yanhao, not Ah Si. She herself probably forgot that what was written on the wall was nothing more than a code name.
Oh, I forgot, she couldn't read, but she tried to live her own happiness.
Just like the Kowloon Emperor, writing, writing, writing for a lifetime, in the end, it is only the code name of the Kowloon Emperor that people talk about. Now that I think about it, can you remember his name?
We try to live every day, and when we live and live, we live into all kinds of ah si. But we work hard, positively, for love, for love, for dreams, we are mother bears.
Rather than saying that Ye Dexian interprets ah si's life, it is better to say that ah si truly reflects Ye Dexian's real life. As a result, Ye Dexian understood the preciousness of love, and Ah Si could use his love to support this fragmented home. Sticking to your love, even if it's just a handful of fragments, can at least make your short life without regrets.
In the drama "The Queen of Kowloon", Ah Si was played by Ye Dexian. It can be said that this is a true portrayal of Ye Dexian's life. Rather than saying that Ye Dexian interprets ah si's life, it is better to say that ah si truly reflects Ye Dexian's real life.
When she was a teenager, Ye Dexian's family was very special, her father had two wives, and the original match could not have children, so she took a concubine, that is, Ye Dexian's birth mother. Ye Dexian wanders in the middle of the family every day, and the deformed family makes her own inner torment, and she begins to rebel prematurely. This state is very similar to the daughter played by Guan Xiumei in the play, and also like the family fortune of the ex-wife.
18 years old because of love to get married, divorced at the age of 35, married to live alone, children left Hong Kong, when the children were 18 years old, 53 years old to take over the filming of "Kowloon Queen", at this time the children in their 30s, but did not visit her once.
Therefore, it is precisely these experiences that her performance in the play can be so delicate and more touching. Art comes from life.
I'm not in favor of blindly giving without asking for anything in return, because it's too silly to be worth it.
But I believe.
Sticking to your love, even if it's just a handful of fragments, can at least make your short life without regrets.
May you be worthy on earth.
