The incident of "giving birth to an eight-child woman in Feng County" finally showed a "turnaround". From the beginning of the "no crime" to the later suspected illegal detention, suspected of abduction and trafficking in women, the public is still not satisfied with this result, but finally can temporarily breathe a sigh of relief.
The Feng County women's incident involved many departments, and its investigation must have the intervention of a higher-level department to have a more transparent and fair result.
It has to be said that the process of exposing the incident is a rare victory for the self-media. In the face of the staged "aphasia" and selective "release" of the mainstream discourse, the self-media and the network have played an active role of "onlookers have power", reversely guiding public opinion to pay attention, and finally forcing the mainstream media to make official announcements.
Leaving the dangerous position of public opinion, we return to the familiar cultural sphere. The other end of the chain of the Fengxian woman is actually a deformed concept of fertility.
On the one hand, men glorify women in procreating for him, and on the other hand, women cannot say "no" to fertility; on the other hand, men confuse childbearing with obligations, and women cannot obtain just gender attitudes.
The most frightening thing is that similar prejudices and inferior roots are constantly presented in the form of group violence, that is, the underlying structure and operation law of China's rural society that have lasted for a long time.
Here, universal moral standards are invalidated and laws and regulations are invisible.
For the film projection of the Feng County women's incident, most of them focus on "Blind Mountain", or the Korean movie "The Beginning and End of the Kim Funan Murder", and Russ von Trier's "Dogville", the main story is that women are repressed to fiercely revolted, and the group crimes in the film are even more chilling.
The power of classic cinema does not diminish, but it is humiliating because of the sharpness of traveling through time and dissecting reality. A recent french film, "Happening", once again focuses on women's fertility dilemmas, giving us a glimpse of a realist masterpiece about women's physical rights that occurred in France before 1975.
"Happening" won the Golden Lion Award in the main competition unit of the 78th Venice Film Festival. It doesn't contribute much to film technology, and it's praised by professional critics, more because of the reality of its story.
The story of a girl's abortion does not expect to resonate with modern women and most viewers, which undoubtedly says a lot.
The film is based on the autobiographical novel by the famous French female writer Anne Elno. In France before 1975, abortion and assisted abortion were banned by law, and violators faced jail time.
The girl in the film, Anne, is unexpectedly pregnant, which triggers a series of unexpected "poor order patterns".
In Fei Xiaotong, the "differential order pattern" is likened to the ripples that swing on the surface of the water after throwing stones. It is self-centered, networked by countless personal relationships, such as clans formed by geographical and blood ties.
In the film, college student Anne cannot solve the problem in her stomach through the normal way that modern people seem to be, and can only use various "folk remedies".
"Happening" is regarded by many people as a large-scale film, and its scale is in the presentation of folk remedies.
Seeing that her stomach was gradually bulging slightly, Anne took an extreme approach for the first time. She stole her mother's sweater needle.
The camera is focused on her face, and every frame is a strong physiological pain. It is no wonder that some moviegoers refer to the metaphor of a film as a "large-scale film that makes people feel painful."
But this act of open-mindedness did not end the "storm" in Anne's stomach. The 100-minute-long film can be separated by Anne's three painful "actions".
Every act of Anne corresponds to the group violence of society. Because of the prohibition of the law, regular hospitals chose to ignore and threaten, and no doctor dared to provide her with surgery or even trick her into using fetal protection pills.
Retreating to a more intimate field, from friends to family, they are "deaf" to her needs, even coercion and inducement. Male friends just want to possess her body, "you don't need contraception anyway". Fathers and female friends, instead of empathy, are sarcastic and angry.
The "Poor Order Pattern" surrounds Anne layer by layer, leaving her suffocating and powerless.
In the director's "deliberate" follow-up shot, Anne fights alone with pain and blood and tears against a powerful, collective silence.
The famous French cultural weekly commented on "Happening": "Very politicized. ”
Although the film tells the story of the past that happened in Europe decades ago, to this day, heavy hats such as "moral system", "future mother" or "good wife and mother" are still on most women, especially the bottom women. When the whole society recognizes that women cannot have abortions, they should have more children as they should, and love their flesh and bones and husbands.
Then Anne became the first rebel.
It is worth mentioning that from Berlin, Cannes, Venice to the Oscars, the big screen is speaking out for women's plight all year round. Because the pain cannot be balanced, the unstoppable fire in the heart cannot be wrapped.
The female body has always been a social problem, not a family, a village, a city can be confused solution.
Systemic problems are difficult to solve, but at least people need to change their perceptions and the law needs to support them on the basis of facts.
Luo Xiang, a professor at the China University of Political Science and Law, gave an example: bribing abducted women and sentencing them up to three years in prison, criminal detention or public surveillance. The purchase of six rare parrots is punishable by five years in prison. In this regard, Luo Xiang advocated increasing the punishment for the crime of bribing women and children, because "human dignity is above all animals and plants." After all, the outcome of the FengXian incident is related to the future fate of many women.
