Although "The Long Season" is a TV series, its shooting method often makes you feel like watching a movie, sometimes very exquisite, sometimes very grand, sometimes very realistic, sometimes very romantic.
In the twelfth episode finale, Wang Xiang, who knew the cause of his son's death, fell on the bridge, and his adopted son Wang Bei rushed to hug him, just as he did when he held an abandoned child by the railway.
It snowed, Wang Xiang said, this snow came from the past.
"The Long Season" thus enters a three-and-a-half-minute close-up, in which the life fragments of the nine main characters eighteen years ago switch one by one, highly summarizing all the sorrows and joys of "The Long Season".
Wang Xiang
Wang Xiang, a happy train driver, walked out of the house with lunch, he has an ordinary and warm home, not seeking wealth but peace.
Wang Xiang's ideal of life is very simple, his wife, son, birch steel, locomotive depot, locomotive are almost all of his life, if there is no accident, maybe he will go on in this life.
What was the accident that led to Wang Xiang's life transformation? Is it Shen Mo? Is it Director Song? Is it Xing San? Is it Gong Biao? Or his baby son Wang Yang?
Romesso
Wang Xiang's daughter-in-law's pursuit of life seems to be simpler than Wang Xiang's, and she seems to be most worried about only two things, one is when can the surgery fee for her heart bypass be reimbursed, once reimbursed, the family's economic situation can be greatly alleviated, and there is no need to buy cheap vegetables.
The second thing is when Wang Yang can enter the factory, once Wang Yang enters the factory, his life will go on as steadily as Wang Xiang.
Unfortunately, Romesu's life has taken a big turn, the operation fee is far away, Wang Yang entered the factory without news, the only son is dead, Romesu's life has no hope, in her eyes, suicide seems to be the only way she can get free.
Gong Biao
Gong Biao, who had just been beaten by the security department because of beating Director Song, walked out of the venue, and his leather shoes were broken when it rained overnight, and this pair of "broken leather shoes" seemed to have become a portrayal of the tragedy of his life.
Originally, Gong Biao, as an undergraduate student in the 90s, was very optimistic about his future in Huagang, but because of a woman like a "broken leather shoe", he ruined his future on impulse.
Sadly, "broken leather shoes" are "broken leather shoes" after all, and eighteen years later, Gong Biao is still hurt by them.
However, Gong Biao is not an ordinary person, he thinks very simply, he likes it, even if the scarf is green, as long as he likes it, green is green.
Character determines fate, Gong Biao's character determines that he does not care about "broken leather shoes" and "green", his final ending is like that water truck, in Gong Biao's hands at the beginning of the soak, in the end still soaked.
Ma Desheng
Ma Desheng had just beaten Shen Mo's uncle Shen Dongliang, he vented the anger in his heart and returned to the car, took out a cigarette and lit it, as if he had just taken a breath for others and for himself.
Which is more important, the shredding case or the Birch Steel bill of exchange case? In principle, it is all important, but the paranoid Ma Desheng paid more attention to the shredded corpse case and handed over the Huagang bill of exchange case to Li Qun, and as a result, the shredded corpse case had no clue, and the bill of exchange case made breakthrough progress, and Li Qun made great achievements.
What's more, Ma Desheng beat Shen Dongliang out of righteous indignation, making a big mistake, not only did not solve the case of shredding the corpse, but he also voluntarily resigned and took off his police uniform.
Of course, perhaps Ma Desheng's approach is too extreme in the eyes of the audience, but he does not know what the consequences of beating Shen Dongliang will be, nor does he know that the director pays more attention to the bill of exchange case, but he is a person who follows his heart, so he smiled very comfortably after beating Shen Dongliang.
Such a Ma Desheng is cute, but life and work are not necessarily smooth, of course, for him, maybe these are nothing.
Wang Yang
Although his academic performance is not good, although he works in an entertainment place, although there are some problems in his body, Wang Yang is still a good boy in essence.
The girl Wang Yang likes is clean, the work life that Wang Yang likes is poetry and distance, and the people Wang Yang respects are his father and mother, such an eighteen-year-old young man, even if the future is not so good, at least he is a boy worthy of liking.
What made Wang Yang's life go to tragedy? Is it Shen Mo or Wang Yang himself? If there was no Shen Mo, if Wang Yang did not meet Shen Mo, if Wang Yang did not fall in love with Shen Mo...
Shen Mo
What is the origin of all the stories in "The Long Season"? It seems that it was Shen Mo, she brought a series of cases, and she personally killed four people, as if corresponding to the four lines on her little finger.
So, is the person who caused all the tragedies really Shen Mo?
Not necessarily, Shen Mo's initial motive for killing came from President Lu's aggression, and her initial motive for killing Yin Hong was because of Yin Hong's betrayal, but the direct trigger for this result was her kindness to bring the drunken Yin Hong home, and then became friends with Yin Hong, and was betrayed by her friends.
Of course, Shen Mo's childhood and youth were very tragic, losing her parents prematurely, falling into the clutches of her uncle Shen Dongliang, finally growing up and successfully getting rid of her uncle, and meeting a boy who really loved her, but because of an encounter with a "farmer and a snake", it led to the ultimate outbreak of black life.
Shen Mo is very strong, but unfortunately, the shadow of childhood and adolescence has always shrouded her, and as an audience, she will naturally not hate her, but she will feel that something is wrong.
Huang Liru
People and waves are all brought in the mother's womb! Cousin Romesu's casual evaluation almost sums up Huang Liru's life.
It's not that she didn't know that Director Song had a family, but she ignored Gong Biao, who was young and promising and liked her very much, but chose to fool around with the factory director, and did not violate her cousin's bad comments at all.
God favored Huang Liru and let her meet Gong Biao, living together for eighteen years under Gong Biao's care, for a woman like her who has a black history and cannot have a child's reputation and problems, Gong Biao has nothing to be sorry for her even if she is not reliable.
However, Huang Liru was "too wavey" in the end, making her lose Gong Biao, and although her tears when she faced Gong Biao's body were real, it was too late.
Li Qiaoyun
Eighteen years ago, Li Qiaoyun may have been one of the most unfortunate people in "The Long Season", in his thirties, in order to make up for the family income, he had to go to the entertainment city to accompany the drink, which is indeed too difficult for a mother to be a mother.
The husband took the child to pick up Li Qiaoyun from work in the entertainment city, and the child fell asleep in Qiaoyun's arms, at that moment, she looked at the white snowflakes, was her heart more sad or warm?
Fortunately, Qiaoyun's old age is still very happy, there are two old people who are sincerely good to her, chasing after her to send flowers, this bitter person has a sweet destination after all.
Fu Weijun
If you say who is the person with the most tragic fate in "The Long Season", maybe many people will choose Fu Weijun.
Fu Weijun lost his parents at a young age, was abandoned by his uncle and adopted by others, and a deaf and mute boy fought hard to support himself while protecting his sister.
For society, Fu Weijun may be an unhealthy and unstable bad boy, but for Fu Weijun himself and Shen Mo, Fu Weijun's bad performance is precisely the basis for the siblings to settle down.
For Fu Weijun, the most tragic thing was not that he was beaten himself, but that Yin Hong hurt Shen Mo and his sister killed Yin Hong.
Fu Weijun liked Yin Hong in his heart, and he was very painful to see Yin Hong's end. However, as Shen Mo's younger brother, Fu Weijun had a natural urge to protect his sister, and he took on everything, and died of illness in prison after eighteen years in prison.
Fu Weijun's short life makes people can't help but feel pity, maybe there is a sentence that is particularly suitable for Fu Weijun eighteen years ago, he was just a child.
Why is "The Long Season" so moving? Because this is a tragicomedy about the life of ordinary people, making people love life more and cherish life.
Life is like four seasons, each season has a different feeling, and each season is long, no matter which season we get lost, we will eventually usher in the next season.
