Today is a good day, have you been swept away by ZM's high-level dialogue?
More than 100 years ago, Gu Weijun, a diplomat of the Beiyang government, and others rushed to Paris to participate in the Paris Peace Conference, which is the background of the movie "My 1919", the Chinese diplomat played by Chen Daoming, facing the Western countries with ghost fetuses, stood up for the first time with weakness and resistance, issued the first cry, and fully demonstrated national dignity.
The film gradually unfolds in black and white images, Chen Daoming's narration voice is full of magnetism and depth, several noisy pictures and Chen Daoming's solemn face, concisely revealing the social background at that time, Gu Weijun, played by Chen Daoming, is destined to become a historical tragedy.
Looking back, the Paris Peace Conference was more like a spoils-sharing convention. The four major powers of US President Wilson, British Prime Minister Lloyd Georges, French Prime Minister Clemenceau and Italian Prime Minister Orlando are fighting for their own interests.
The film uses very interesting shots to show this scene.
French Prime Minister Clemenceau, 78, was fencing while shouting: Let President Wilson go to hell. I'm going to squeeze Germany dry like orange juice.
China's Beiyang government hopes to take back Shandong from the defeated Germany through the Paris Peace Conference, abolish article 21, and cancel the privileges of foreigners in China, which is a very normal demand, in the eyes of arrogant Western countries, like a kind of handout, Gu Weijun is facing unprecedented pressure, it can be said that it is like walking on thin ice, and if you are not careful, you will become a sinner of the country.
In the movie, Gu Weijun and his party wanted to get the support of French Prime Minister Clemenceau, the chairman of the Paris Peace Conference, but they ate behind closed doors when they first met, and Gu Weijun showed a very tough attitude.
Gu Weijun, played by Chen Daoming, has a dialogue in this scene, which is still very beneficial to now.
"If we want Clemenceau to turn to China, we can achieve our goals only by exchanging sympathy, I am afraid, it will be more difficult."
"Chief, for Clemenceau, this is not enough to make him understand what Chinese is."
Such classic lines, there are many more in the movie.
When Gu Weijun fought for seats for China (originally 5, but was reduced to 2), he stressed: "The interests of other countries (referring to China) should not be sacrificed as a premise. ”
"Of course, I hope that what the government calls consultation between the two countries will eventually turn into a compromise for China."
For China, the Paris Peace Conference is essentially a matter of core territorial interests.
Originally, after Germany's defeat, It was reasonable for China to take back Shandong, but several major empires and Japan colluded with each other to instead want Japan to occupy Shandong. In the movie, Gu Weijun, played by Chen Daoming, cleverly hit back at Japan and several major powers by "stealing" a pocket watch.
Gu Weijun said that Baron Makino gave him a pocket watch, the Japanese representative was very angry and shouted that the Chinese representative stole his pocket watch, and Gu Weijun hit back with force. This section became a very wonderful and classic scene in the movie.
However, "weak countries have no diplomacy", no matter how hard Gu Weijun tries, under the guidance of the great powers, China, as the victorious power, cannot obtain the ownership of Shandong. In the end, Gu Weijun and others did not sign this treaty of loss of power and humiliation.
Gu Weijun: Please remember that Chinese and will never forget this painful day.
In 1919, Chinese finally said to the great powers for the first time: No!
More than 100 years later, Chinese once again declared to hegemonism:
