The first time I came into contact with the song, I didn't listen to it with my ears, but I saw it with my eyes.
When I was in high school, I used the borrowed money to buy Lu Yao's "Ordinary World".
There is no magical plot, and there is no deliberate design of gripping suspense, and I guess I won't be able to watch it now. It's like a person who is used to eating barbecue and spicy hot, and can no longer swallow the white noodle steamed buns.
The plot that impressed me the most was not about Sun Shaoan and Tian Runye, nor about Sun Shaoping and Tian Xiaoxia... It's about Jimbo.
After Jimbo graduated from high school, he went to the army. After returning to his hometown, in the dead of night, he would often go to a secluded and uninhabited place to play a song - "In That Far Away Place", written and composed by Wang Luobin, in which the lyrics were quoted.
In that distant place
There is a good girl
People walked past her tent
Look back nostalgically
Her pink smile
Like the red sun
Her beautiful eyes
Like a bright moon at night
I willingly abandoned my possessions
Follow her to herd sheep
Look at her moving eyes every day
And the beautiful gold-rimmed garment
I want to be a lamb
Sit next to her
I wish she had a thin leather whip
Keep hitting me gently
I had never heard the song before, so I hummed it repeatedly according to my feelings, and many years later, when I finally heard it by ear, it was the same melody I imagined.
The song was written for a Tibetan girl who was chosen locally by a film crew. Wang Luobin offered to play a role of helping her shepherd shepherds, and once, when they were alone, because Wang Luobin's eyes were too hot to see the girl, the girl did beat him with a whip...
