Yesterday I watched a Korean movie, "International Market" in 2014, about the turbulent displacement history of the Korean people, a tear gas canister.
The story can be said to be connected to our Pratunam Bridge movie, but it is told from a Korean perspective. After the defeat of the U.S. army, they retreated at Xingnan Port, and one of the transport ships abandoned some of the supplies in order to carry people, taking away 14,000 North Korean refugees, and the Deok so family was among them.
This scene is familiar, you should have seen the video of the US military retreating from Saigon, in order to let more refugees on the ship, the US military pushed the helicopter into the sea.
The fleeing team climbed on the ship in the crowd, the sister Mo Shun on Dexiu's back was torn off, the father returned to find his sister, and before leaving, he explained that Dexiu was the eldest son of the family, you were the parent when I was away, and you had to take good care of this family.
This separation is a lifetime, Dexiu's father has never been reunited with his family since, and Dexiu has lost his life for this parental commitment and has dedicated his life to his family.
The Deok so family defected to Busan's aunt, the aunt opened a small shop in the international market called "Pollen House", and the father told Deok so before leaving that he would go there to find them.
A few years later, Deok Soo's brother was admitted to Seoul National University, and in order to earn tuition for his brother, Deok Soo gave up his dream of becoming a captain and went to West Germany to work as a miner. It was the 1960s, and in order to solve the problem of unemployment and earn foreign exchange, a wave of miners and nurses went to Germany, and dozens of young people died in foreign countries.
In Germany, Dexiu meets Hideko, who is working as a nurse there, and Hideko becomes Tokuhide's wife after returning to China, helping him with the Pollen House.
After the death of his aunt, in order to prevent his uncle from selling the pollen family and marrying his sister with a dowry, de Xiu, who had already received an admission letter from Ocean University, finally chose to go to Vietnam to work as a domestic worker for the US military to earn money, which was during the Vietnam War in the 1970s.
Dexiu was lame in Vietnam, and after returning to Busan, despite the opposition of his family and friends, he insisted on running the pollen home and resolutely refused to sell the small shop, afraid that his father and sister would not find the store in Busan one day, afraid that his father would never find them again.
In the 1980s, the Koreans began to search for relatives in separated families, and Deok-so found his sister who could no longer speak Korean in the United States through the search for relatives TV program, and on the day of the escape, his sister and her family were lost and taken on a ship by a US military, sent to an orphanage in Busan, and later adopted by american families.
But Deok Soo's father was never found, and Deok Soo finally agreed to sell the pollen family, knowing that even if his father did not die, he would not be able to come to Busan to find them at an advanced age, and his father would most likely have died.
This film with the fate of deok-so, a small person, runs through the post-war development process of South Korea, which can be said to be half of South Korea's modern history, through which Deok-so witnesses the torrent of the great era, and also sees the smallness of the individual under the torrent, a wave hits, can mercilessly swallow people.
Huang Zhengmin's acting skills are really good, Dexiu's drifting helplessness, holding it very well, another movie that also shows Huang Zhengmin's acting skills is "Agent", the slippery businessman and the rigidity of the soldiers, in Huang Zhengmin is like seeing two people.
In the movie, there are also well-known figures in The Korean country such as Zheng Zhouyong, the founder of Hyundai Group with dreams, and Andre Kim, a Korean costume designer, who are sensational and affectionate, and have a bit of a Korean version of "Forrest Gump".
