On the sacred Tibetan plateau, British commanders tore open the clothes of Mongolian women as a way to humiliate women and Mongols. Behind them, there are the corpses of Mongolian soldiers and civilians, and the so-called "gentry state" brutally slaughters mongolian aborigines, monks, old people and children, and this cruel scene really happened in Tibet in 1904.
During the Guangxu years, two British men were ordered to the snowy plateau of Tibet, known as the last pure land of the world.
Jones was an explorer who was very interested in the mystical culture of Tibet, unlike his boss, Major Rockman. He was a veteran and an aggressor, and since he had invaded Beijing with the Eight-Power Alliance, he had planned to make a fortune in Tibet.
Because of his disrespect for God in his words, the local Tibetans refused to help him. The major's disdainful firing of a gun into the air threatening the Tibetans resulted in his actions provoking the wrath of the gods, and a merciless avalanche engulfed everyone at the scene.
The Tibetans playing nearby, Kelsang and Xue'er, rescued them and took them to the Tibetan leader, who, while rummaging through their backpacks, accidentally found a booklet detailing the topographic map of the Tibetan defenders and also marking the route through which they had passed, and it turned out that this person had come to spy on the Intelligence of the Tibetan Defense Line under the guise of scientific expeditions.
After understanding the other party's intentions, the head man decided to tie the two people to a cliff and blow them to death with explosives on the pretext of destroying the "devil" and sacrificing the mountain god, but during the execution, an urgent order came from the Qing government, ordering the head man to escort the two out of the country and never harm them.
But at this time, the lead was only less than a meter away from the powder keg, and at the critical moment, the purple sand pot of the head of the ge sauna was hit with Udo, and in Jones's scream, the flames were extinguished and the two were rescued.
The Major was escorted out of the country, while Jones stayed due to illness. In order to thank Kelsang for saving himself twice, the major solemnly gave his own lighter to Kelsang.
Jones, who stayed behind, lived with the Tibetans, he learned to paste cow dung cakes with Tibetan children, taste fragrant butter tea, kite on the grassland with the children, dance with the girls of the head, and enjoy the peaceful and peaceful Tibetan life.
When Jones returned a few months later, he told the Colonel about his experience, but the Colonel was very dismissive of these customs and customs, and all he wanted was the resources and wealth of Tibet.
Soon after, the major took Jones and led the British army to the Red River Valley, just near Kelsang, thinking that it was a good friend who had returned and rushed to greet the two with Hada in hand, but several Tibetan defenders suddenly ran out and signaled the British to stop advancing. However, the major saw the Tibetan soldiers and directly ordered fire.
Under Jones's astonished gaze, the artillery fire instantly tore apart the Tibetan soldiers, and the blood and cannon fodder made the white Hada dirty Tibetan military and civilian assembly pass Watching the British army vigilantly, the major came forward to negotiate as a friend, and asked the major to withdraw the army from Chinese territory, but the major suggested a ceasefire first.
At the same time, he secretly arranged for the artillery to touch the commanding heights, and during the negotiations, Dai ben proposed that the Tibetans could claim the country independently, and "friendly" said that in this matter, Britain could help.
The Major proudly stated that he was a native of Edinburgh, Scotland, and Daiben immediately asked him, so why did Scotland not become an independent country? Remembering that Zu Shang was pressed to the ground by England and rubbed, crying and shouting for demands and finally being forcibly merged, the major could not say anything but to threaten with force.
Looking at the Maxim machine guns set up around him, the leader realized that it was wrong and immediately turned around and ordered a counterattack, but the next second he was shot by the British, and the Tibetan defenders heard about it and immediately prepared to counterattack.
However, the British artillery fire was condescending, a salvo of artillery combined with the makqin machine gun strafing, the Tibetan soldiers were blown apart in an instant, and in less than 10 minutes, all 1500 people were killed.
Then the major waved his hand and let the cavalry regiment launch a surprise attack, and the Tibetan defenders resisted desperately, but in a few cups of water, the British army forced the few remaining people to the road of death, threatening the remaining few to surrender, and the Tibetan soldiers heard that they only silently lit fire and aimed to tell the invaders of their determination with actions, and finally they were blasted to ashes by the cannon.
Then the British army stepped on the corpses of Tibetan soldiers and Tibetans and marched toward Lhasa step by step. Learning of the invasion of the front line, Tibetan cavalry in Lhasa charged at the British positions with bows and arrows and long knives. However, the flesh and blood were no match for the machine guns and cannons, and in the face of the powerful fire net of the British army, the cavalry fell one by one before they could pull their bows.
Looking at all this, he asked Jones to record his glorious victory over the Tibetans, that the main force in Lhasa was all killed, and that the only remaining old and weak women and children were concentrated in the head man's home.
The major went to the door to tell the head man that they had lost and that the only way to survive was to surrender, and asked the Tibetans to take charge of the British army's food, clothing, housing and entertainment projects, and the head man sucked his nose and disdainfully said that as long as there was a living Tibetan, the war would not end.
The major dismissively said, you reject our civilization Really sorry, the head man pointed to the dog with the gun, is this what you call civilization? The Major saw the hard no, always soft, promised the head man that it would help Tibet gain independence and freedom, and the head man heard and held out his hand.
Looking at the old stubborn in front of him who could not communicate, the colonel left the village of the leader, and then ordered the artillery to shell the head man's home, and then the British army invaded the village like a mad dog, the Tibetan soldiers and civilians heroically resisted but fell one by one, and the lama wanted to escape over the mountain but was shot by the British army with machine guns.
Hearing the sound of gunfire from the walled city, the nearby Han merchants rushed to support, and the merchants shot the British with a revolver, but soon he ran out of all the bullets in order to save the daughter of the leader, Zhuang Li Chengren.
In order to plunder the things in the temple, the British army rushed into the Buddhist temple to wantonly slaughter the lamas and wizards, and then carried valuable objects from the temple one by one, the British army quickly captured the daughter of the head man, Dan Zhu, in order to lead the head man to feast his eyes, he ripped open Dan Zhu's clothes and watched the woman being humiliated by the dog.
The leader killed the only remaining Tibetan soldiers, but all of them died under the gunfire of the British army, all their family and friends died in front of their own eyes, Danzhu was in pain, she sang loudly, soothing the souls of the deceased with her own natural voice, and the surviving Tibetans also sang in unison, vowing to coexist and die with the land under their feet.
Danzhu's white yak rushed to the British army, one person died on one head, the white yak wanted to kill the major, but was shot in the head by the major and died in front of his master, Danzhu took advantage of the fact that the British army was attracted by the yak's attention, ran to the British ammunition depot and picked up a shell, as soon as she was killed, all the shells would be detonated.
Seeing this scene, the major urged Danzhu to stop, but Danzhu only smiled slightly and released his hand, and the British ammunition depot exploded violently, and the artillery team was too late to evacuate, and the casualties were tragically suffered. The major survived, but he also hung up, but he also wanted to plunder the treasures of Tibet.
He sent someone to capture a small child, let the child take an artillery, climb to the back hill to destroy the remaining defenders, the child obediently agreed to their way, and then led the people to the silt swamp of the Tianshan Mountains, the light child naturally easily crossed the mud, but the guilty British army could only be swallowed up by the natural gods.
On the other side, Kelsang fought with the British with the remaining villagers, they did not have guns, they fought back with Udo, smashed the British with stones, and in order to protect their beloved man, Cher died in Kelsang's arms.
When the British army killed the last Tibetans and attacked the bunker, they only saw Kelsang on the edge of the bomb barrel holding Xue'er in his arms, murmuring a poignant Tibetan love myth, and at the end of his life, Xue'er listened to the story of his lover and hoped to be a woman in the future.
For the man who had saved himself twice, the Major thought of opening him to join him, but Kelsang just silently pulled out the lighter that symbolized friendship and opened it awkwardly with tears.
At this time, the major found that the gasoline had flowed all over the bunker, Kelsang angrily threw away the major's lighter, and the flames instantly swept through the bunker The British army was burned to the point of mourning, followed by a violent explosion that flattened the bunker, and everything returned to calm.
The film Red River Valley is based on real events in Tibet in 1904. Song Hepeng wrote a book called "Bayonet Pointing at Lhasa", which details this history, and most of the content of the British invasion in the film is derived from this book.
After the film was released, it was very popular with the people, and won many awards such as the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Picture and Best Actress, the Golden Rooster Award for six awards and nominations, and Serenity also fell in love with Jones's actor Paul.
After talking about the movie, talk about things outside the movie, the end of the Qing Dynasty, the foreign powers wantonly destroyed and humiliated, China and the products of Chinese culture, which are vividly reflected in the film, no matter when they see these pictures, it is very sad.
However, after watching the film, open the browser and see that today's Britain, from the whole immunity to the national mutation, I have to sigh: Maybe this is retribution!
