On the evening of May 1, the TV series "Long Season" updated the content of the last episode and officially ended. I have already said in the review article on April 30 that this TV series, "kung fu is always outside of kung fu", so the suspense content is actually not so important in the finale part. What really matters is the "outside of Kung Fu" content. In the content of the finale, I think there are still three "kung fu outside" worth talking about. They are: Da Niang, Wang Bei and "Look Forward, Don't Look Back".
Let's start with "big lady".
In the content of the finale, Shen Mo sneaked into the hospital and changed the infusion solution for the sick lady who could not speak or move, which eventually caused the lady to leave. In this scene, there are a few monologues of Shen Mo, she asks the eldest lady, when the uncle violates herself, why is the eldest lady silent? Lady, do you think that as long as you don't speak, you are innocent? This kind of questioning is smashed deep in the hearts of the audience.
In my upbringing, I often faced this kind of self-accountability. When I saw the wrong thing, I saved my life, walked around, and avoided it, which really seemed like a very clever choice. However, in the face of ugliness, is my dullness another crime? The TV series "Long Season" does not give a clear answer, in the face of crime, choose a silent person, whether there is guilt, this is not what the TV series can answer. However, the end of the eldest lady is revenge by Shen Mo. Do you sympathize with this lady? This is left for the reader to think about.
I wrote several reviews of this TV series. Especially when I wrote Yin Hong's article, I said that Yin Hong is a real marginal person, but she is in adversity and murders people who are also in adversity. Some readers left me a message that in life, we must be wary of people like Yin Hong around me. I returned to this reader and saw Yin Hong, and I reflected on whether I was Yin Hong. In the same way, seeing the role of the eldest lady, I reflect on whether I am a big lady?!
Let's talk about Wang Bei.
When Wang Xiang faced the tragic fate of his son and wife leaving one after another, he chose to lie on the rails. However, the moment the train came, Wang Xiang heard the cry of the baby. He then chose to escape the tracks and survive. Later, Wang Xiang found the infant child and raised him. Wang Xiang also gained the courage to survive again. This scene, I don't know if the audience will think of the movie "1942" written by teacher Liu Zhenyun.
In "1942", the great famine in Henan, the old owner led the family to flee, but in the end, the whole family died, leaving the old owner alone. On the way back to Henan from Shaanxi, the old family met a child whose parents had also died. The two traveled together and became relatives. So. "Long Season" is similar to the movie "1942" written by Mr. Liu Zhenyun at this ending. It's a common way for all talented creators to face suffering.
Fight suffering in a new way that life is re-existing. In other words, it's another kind of life. In "The Long Season", Wang Xiang raised Wang Bei to grow up, and the child not only succeeded in school, but also went to Beijing, and was very filial to his father. In Wang Bei, Wang Xiang saw the happiness of his old age and the continuation of life. And the continuation of life is so important to us as a group of suffering beings.
Finally, say "Look ahead, don't look back".
At the end of the play, Wang Xiang and Li Qiaoyun sent Wang Bei to Beijing. On the way, Master Wang got off the train conveniently, and saw the cornfield, and the railroad tracks and trains hidden in the cornfield. Master Wang was on the rails and saw the train he drove back then, and even saw himself. This is a glimpse of romanticism in the creation of realism. At this time, the elderly Wang Xiang said to Wang Xiang in his middle and young age, look forward, don't look back.
The finale officially arrived, the soundtrack rose, and the song that looked back sounded, and the audience was probably in tears. This is actually kung fu always outside of kung fu. Here, what kind of crime suspense story is this TV series, it is about our lives. When we encounter tribulations, we grit our teeth and move forward. When we look back after the ordeal, what do we want to say to who we used to be? But this is Wang Xiang's words: Look forward, don't look back.
"The Long Season" is, of course, a painful tragedy. But at the same time, it also has a sense of life force peculiar to tragedy. After watching "The Long Season", don't we have the ability to fight tragedy? Great works of art, always. On May 1, the audience rating of the TV series "The Long Season" rose again, reaching 9.3 points. I think it's still less. Such a work, why not give it full marks. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
