"Cliff" can be said to be the acting skills of all the actors online, and every supporting role, even a casual small role, shines in it.
Even if he never appeared, Zhang Pingru left a deep impression on us.
In fact, although he has never appeared in the play, he has been secretly promoting the plot.
And he played a role that cannot be underestimated in the play.
I think this is where the skill of the screenwriter lies, through the words of others, to build a vivid character, and he runs through the whole play.
is also an indispensable character in the whole play.
01, Zhang Pingjun's sacrifice
There is no doubt that Zhang Pingjun's sacrifice is the result of Gu Qiuyan's willful and reckless actions.
She first ignored Zhou Yi's repeated advice: she could only send a telegram once at the same place and on the same frequency.
Fearing that she would not receive information from the mountain, she sent two telegrams in succession.
As a result, the enemy detected the specific position, and the intelligence station was almost exposed.
But Gu Qiuyan not only did not listen to Zhou Yi's teachings, but instead made her own initiative and asked her brother-in-law Zhang Pingjun, who had never had experience in underground struggle, to deliver the letter.
Zhou Yi was annoyed when she found out and scolded her for not abiding by discipline, but she had a strong word:
"If you don't do anything, I can't watch hundreds of people in the mountains be wiped out by the Japanese."
In fact, she didn't know that Zhou Yi had used the flying pigeon to spread the news to the mountain.
Zhou Yi was very angry and felt that Gu Qiuyan would be exposed sooner or later if he did this, so he complained to Lao Wei, hoping to transfer Gu Qiuyan away.
"If you have a bad wife at home, can you look good? Old Wei, you have to find a way to get her away from me. ”
"What the hell is going on?"
"She went so far as to take matters into her own hands and send an outsider to the mountains to deliver news. If we continue like this, sooner or later we will have to plant it in her hands.
How could she do that! I think she is also very reluctant to do this job, and if she continues to be awkward like this, there will definitely be chaos. ”
"She wasn't like that before, she's a very reliable person! Lao Zhou, bear with me first, we have a lot of information to send out recently, and there is no other candidate.
Lao Zhou, in fact, you should understand her. A woman is pregnant, her husband is not around, and she is in danger. Her pressure is not something we men can imagine. ”
"I understand all this, but let me tell you, once something happens, we can't afford it."
"Do you know why she's muddy? Her husband is in the mountains. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Yi seemed to have a better understanding of Gu Qiuyan.
Although Zhang Pingjun was only a student, he did not reveal any information after being arrested, even after being tortured.
It can be seen from this that Zhang Pingjun, like his brother Zhang Pingru, is a man with iron bones, he has always been influenced by his brother and has always wanted to contribute to the resistance against Japan.
This is the biggest difference between him and Ren Changchun.
So although they all died in the end, one died heavier than Tarzan, and the other died as lightly as a feather.
Zhou Yi couldn't bear to tell Gu Qiuyan the news of Zhang Pingjun's sacrifice.
Because once Gu Qiuyan knew the news, she couldn't bear the result, and she couldn't explain it to her husband Zhang Pingru.
In fact, Zhang Pingru must have known this news later.
Because there is a special channel for delivering messages to the mountain at the foot of the mountain.
Ren Changchun and Xiao Dong sent medicine to the mountain, and almost died in the hands of Lao Qiu, but fortunately, the mountain sent someone to deliver the letter to the mountain.
At that time, Zhang Pingjun and Yuan Yuan were arrested along with comrades from a liaison station that sent a letter to the mountain.
When a liaison post is destroyed, someone will inevitably tell the mountain about it.
The reason why Zhang Pingru didn't talk to Gu Qiuyan about this matter was also out of concern and love for her, and he didn't want her to be anxious and guilty about this matter.
It was precisely because of this incident that Gu Qiuyan gradually grew up, and her disbelief in Zhou Yi slowly turned into admiration for him, including recognition of character and ability.
02, Gu Qiuyan fell off the cliff
When Gu Qiuyan and Zhou Yi went to the Snow Mountain to send a report, they met Japanese devils.
Zhou Yi engaged in a fierce shootout with the enemy, but even so, Gu Qiuyan insisted on retreating after sending the telegram and burying the transmitter, so she missed the best chance to escape.
Men from the Secret Service Department also arrived, and a large number of police searched the mountain.
At the critical moment, Gu Qiuyan jumped off the cliff and made the final desperate preparations, she burned all her identification documents, and held the grenade tightly in her hand.
It can be seen that even if she sacrifices, she is not willing to leave any hidden dangers for Zhou Yi.
On the other hand, Zhou Yi and Lao Wei were also desperately looking for Gu Qiuyan.
"Gu Qiuyan is amazing, she must have insisted on sending the telegram before she missed the best chance to escape."
"In this snowstorm tonight, her chances of survival are slim. I'll take a bottle of gasoline up the mountain, and if she dies, I'll destroy everything that can identify her. ”
In fact, Zhou Yi also heard the meaning of Lao Wei's words, once Gu Qiuyan's body was found, he had to destroy the corpse.
Zhou Yi was very uncomfortable, but he could only ask Lao Wei to bury Gu Qiuyan well.
The next day, Lao Wei still didn't find Gu Qiuyan, Zhou Yi was very anxious, he said:
"I'm in a mess right now. She is still pregnant, I owe her two lives, how can I explain to her husband in the future! ”
In fact, Zhou Yi was not sad in his heart at this time, but he was not Gu Qiuyan's husband, so he could only say that he could not explain to Zhang Pingru to hide his true heart.
When he learned that Gu Qiuyan was still alive and on the way to pick her up, Zhou Yi's face had a relieved relief and joy.
When Gu Qiuyan, who lived for the rest of her life after the disaster, saw him, she looked aggrieved, and after getting into the car, she hid her face and cried bitterly:
"I'm not ugly to death right now."
"You're not ugly at all, you're beautiful."
"you."
After this catastrophe between the two, their feelings for each other have taken a step further, but they both know that they are people with families, so they can only "be affectionate and stop at courtesy".
Zhou Yi also took out the ID card for Gu Qiuyan to reissue, Gu Qiuyan was a little surprised and a little surprised: "How do you know that I destroyed it?" ”
"I can pinch it."
It can be seen that the two have lived and worked together for several months, and they already have a certain sense of tacit understanding.
Zhou Yi also told her that a car to Jiamusi had been arranged for her, and during this time, Zhang Pingru had already gone down the mountain and would stay in Jiamusi temporarily, so he could accompany her for a while.
It's an organizational arrangement, and it's also a kind of human care.
Gu Qiuyan was injured in order to complete the task, and she couldn't be by Zhou Yi's side, so she arranged for her to go to Jiamusi to recuperate, and at the same time let her and her husband have a short reunion.
03, when Gu Qiuyan gave birth to Sasha
The organization arranged Gu Qiuyan to give birth to a child in Jiamusi for two considerations.
First, this child is Zhang Pingru's, and it was really conceived a month before Zhou Yi returned to Guannei, and if the child is born in Harbin, it is easy for the enemy to discover this flaw;
Second, it happened that Zhang Pingru was going to Jiamusi during that time, and he could accompany Gu Qiuyan.
It's a pity that Zhang Pingru couldn't get out because of something temporary, so he came to accompany Gu Qiuyan.
In order to test Gao Bin, Zhou Yi proposed to ask for leave to go to Jiamusi to visit Gu Qiuyan's mother and daughter.
Gu Qiuyan was very happy to see Zhou Yi.
When Zhou Yi gave birth to a child in his wife, he couldn't take care of their mother and son because he had to complete the task, and now that Gu Qiuyan has given birth, Zhang Pingru can't come to visit because of the task.
Instead, it was Zhou Yi, the fake husband who came to take care of and visit.
This aspect also reflects the arduous nature of underground workers, who have to endure many unimaginable hardships, and even reunite with their families.
04, Gu Qiuyan met Zhang Pingru in private
When Sasha was five years old, the organization originally arranged for Zhang Pingru to go down the mountain and reunite with Gu Qiuyan.
But Gu Qiuyan took Zhang Pingru to her "home", that is, the liaison station.
Zhou Yi found out through some clues, so he criticized Gu Qiuyan:
"It's okay to meet, it's been so long, and I hope you can meet too.
But you shouldn't have brought him to the house, it's dangerous for you to do that, how many pairs of eyes are watching us outside, and you take the child to the restaurant and let her come back and lie to me.
Now is an extraordinary time, we must be cautious, I can understand the love of children, but safety first. ”
"You're endless."
"Don't do such stupid things in the future, we stand on the edge of the cliff every day, and you still do such dangerous actions, if you let Lao Wei know, you and Zhang Pingru will be punished."
Gu Qiuyan was unconvinced and helpless.
Later, when Gu Qiuyan accompanied Zhou Yi to Sun Yuejian's underground liaison station to pick up the repaired radio station, Zhou Yi came out after more than an hour.
Gu Qiuyan deliberately said:
"It's been long enough!"
"Said something else."
"Alright, you're all tied up and the buttons aren't buttoned properly."
"Boring!"
"These are extraordinary times, so you have to be cautious. I also understand the love of children, but safety comes first. ”
"You're endless."
"Don't do such stupid things in the future, we stand on the edge of the cliff every day, and you still do this kind of dangerous action, if Lao Wei knows, you both will be punished."
Gu Qiuyan showed a smug look on her face, because she returned all the words that Zhou Yi had taught her before, and she was a little embarrassed and happy in her heart.
In fact, although this paragraph has little to do with the plot, it is just a joke between the two, but it also reflects the huge sacrifices made by underground workers in order to complete the task.
Some people say that it is very unwise to arrange Sun Yuejian in the same city as Zhou Yi.
In fact, this is not a well-intentioned organization, after all, Zhou Yi and Sun Yuejian have been married for many years, but they gather less and leave more.
In order to give them the opportunity to meet each other, this arrangement was made.
At the same time, for the sake of Gu Qiuyan, the organization also arranged for Zhang Pingru to go down the mountain to perform tasks many times, and by the way, he could get together with Gu Qiuyan for a short time.
05, after Sasha was kidnapped
Originally, Zhou Yi had retreated with his wife and children, and they could have lived a complete and stable life.
But the night before Zhou Yi was about to go to the Soviet Union, Political Commissar Zhou told Zhou Yi about Sasha's kidnapping.
Zhou Yi immediately made the decision to go back.
In fact, I personally think that the news of Sasha's kidnapping may have been the first to be learned by Zhang Pingru.
It is not difficult to see from the previous plot that Zhang Pingru belongs to the leadership level in the anti-Japanese alliance team, and he has a special contact channel with the mountain, and he has gone down the mountain many times to Jiamusi and Harbin to complete the task, and has contact with the underground party there.
Therefore, this time it must have been the underground party in Harbin who told Zhang Pingru about this, and also told Political Commissar Zhou.
Political Commissar Zhou was in a dilemma, so he had to tell Zhou Yi about the matter and let him make the final decision himself.
I think, but whatever choice they make, they will leave regrets.
And Zhou Yi had no choice but to go back to save Sasha.
Because he would not sacrifice Sasha and Gu Qiuyan to live alone, after all, they were the most important people in his life.
When Lao Wei asked him to do this, what would Sun Yuejian and Jia Qiao think?
Zhou Yi replied well: "As long as they live, they should understand me." ”
Indeed, being alive is the best.
Perhaps, this is the deepest love of a father for his daughter.
Zhang Pingru doesn't love his wife and daughter, but because of this war, he can't protect them personally, which is his biggest regret.
It's like Zhou Yi can't protect Sun Yuejian and Jia Qiao well.
This is the sacrifice made by underground workers in the hidden front, which is also unimaginable and incomprehensible to ordinary people, and this is also their greatness.
Epilogue:
Zhang Pingru is actually the same as Sun Yuejian, for the sake of faith in his heart, he has to be separated from his lover.
Moreover, Zhou Yi and Gu Qiuyan work and live on the edge of the cliff every day, and they huddle together to keep warm, which inevitably produces some kind of emotion.
Sun Yuejian, as a woman, can understand, but her psychology will still be painful and uncomfortable.
And Zhang Pingru is not like this.
Gu Qiuyan once said something to Lao Wei:
"No one would believe that there is a man and a woman in this world who have lived in the same room under the same roof for six years, and nothing has happened between a man or a woman. He (referring to Zhang Pingru) doesn't say it, I can feel it. As he was leaving, he said to me,
'Qiu Yan, you have to be happy and don't have any burden. As long as you're happy, I can understand all your feelings. Zhou Yi is a good person, you have to treat him well. ’
When I heard what he said, I cried. As a man, he doesn't understand a woman's heart.
You may never understand that in this world, there can be such emotions between men and women that go beyond love. Only Zhou Yi and I know this. ”
Listening to this passage, it is really touching.
Zhang Pingru's image once again jumped on the page.
Actually, he is also a respectable person!
