At that time, when Sister Tranquility was not a sister, but a sister, she made a very classic work called "Red River Valley". "Red River Valley" is a work that not only won multiple awards for Tranquility, but also made her lover and marriage with Jones, who plays a foreign journalist in the play.
Unfortunately, many of the "Red River Valley" we saw at the beginning were deleted versions, and few people have seen the full version, and not only have some of the charming pictures of the code been deleted in the film, but many moving details have also been modified.
The film begins with a tone of remembrance:
I was born in cow dung, and before my aunt could wipe it off, the blizzard came, and when people found her, she had frozen into an ice lump, but people strangely found that the child in her arms was still alive.
In just a few words, you can use the flesh and blood to guard the mother image of the baby. Even without a shot, the image of the "Guardian in the Snow" will be in the minds of the audience. Unfortunately, when it was broadcast in China, this paragraph was cut to: When I was born, my mother died, and my grandmother carried me to the lama temple and gave me a name.
As soon as the picture turns, on the edge of the Yellow River, the sky is in a drought, and the name of the village is carrying out a ridiculous rain festival. Two virgins were chosen as sacrifices and will be thrown into the waters of the Yellow River. Before dying, the girl named Xue'er said: In the next life, she will no longer be a woman as a pig and a dog.
Xue'er's brother rushed to save his sister, but was chased to the suspension bridge by the villagers who chased her, and Xue'er took a machete to cut the suspension bridge, and fell into the Yellow River with her brother.
Fortunately, but did not die, with the flow of water to the banks of the Brahmaputra River, a grandmother with a child on her back found Xue'er and led Xue'er back home, in this way, as a Han girl, Xue'er integrated into a Tibetan family.
In this family, in addition to grandma, there is also father Kelsang and child Gaga, they are simple and kind people, in their view, the arrival of this Han girl is a miracle created by the goddess of the snow mountain.
One day, Kelsang inadvertently rescued two foreigners, but unexpectedly lured the wolf into the house.
The two of them, the legendary white man, one named Rockman and the other named Jones,
From the british empire, the most powerful in the world at the time, they were scientific expeditions to the British Empire and held Chinese government passports.
Rockman and Jones traveled thousands of miles to Tibet with only one purpose: to blend in with the Tibetans in the name of scientific expeditions to obtain local information and lay the foundation for future colonial aggression. The kind Tibetans, believing that they were only explorers in distress, saved them, and left Jones, who was in poor health, to recuperate in Tibet.
Danzhu, played by Tranquility, has the most primitive wild nature, dares to pursue freedom, and dares to express his admiration for Kelsang and Jones;
He also has the most civilized way of life, and will give kindness to all beings who are not evil.
Four years later, Roqueman, who had been saved by Kelsang, returned to Tibet with a team of men and horses, and Gesang thought that Roqueman's heart was to relive his old feelings.
Unexpectedly, Rockman's "fire", Kelsang's compatriots fell to the ground, and the surrounding area became a ruin;
On the other hand, Jones, as a reporter accompanying the army, recorded the entire course of the war.
In the face of such a powerful and ruthless and shameless enemy, the Han and Tibetan soldiers and civilians did not surrender, did not split, shot arrows and stones when the bullets were exhausted; the bows and arrows and stones were gone, and the monks relied on their feet to bring supplies from afar.
At the end of the movie, as recorded in the history books: the Han and Tibetan soldiers and civilians, including Xue'er and Kelsang, all chose to fight until death.
At the end of the story, the face of the child's gag and self-esteem appears. And Jones's final realization: this is a people that will never yield and never die, and behind her there is a vaster land, which is the East that we will never conquer.
The film is most impressive about the fact that after Danju was captured by the British army, he sang to his compatriots and encouraged them to continue fighting, which was very touching to watch at the time.
The Red River Valley, through the opening and closing statements, clings to the soul of man as if summoned by the god of the snowy mountains. The goodness of the highland dwellers contrasts sharply with the cruelty of the devil, the serenity of the holy land and the cruelty of war. The whole film is a shock to the heart! Let people be deeply shocked by the indomitable national spirit!
