"Time is precious, we Chinese wasted a lot of time, we can't waste anymore" - "Huang Feihong 2 Boy Self-Improvement"
Have you ever regretted your time-wasting behavior, especially when you find yourself doing nothing in the moment? Do you think inaction is a shameful thing to do?
The title of this film is "Boys Should Be Self-Reliant", and the protagonist is the famous Huang Feihong. Together with several heroes in the film, Sun Wen and Lu Haodong, he composed a story about boys' self-improvement.
People need to be self-reliant, and to make themselves strong, they need to practice, grasp the time, do practical things down-to-earth, and seek true knowledge in hard work.
As one of the most classic martial arts movies in Hong Kong's golden age, "Huang Feihong 2" integrates elements of national revolution into the story setting, and in the context of China's urgent need for self-improvement, Huang Feihong and Sun Wen met and helped each other, so that the chivalry of martial arts movies was fully exerted.
The story is not complicated, the wise and courageous Huang Feihong ventured to take in foreign school students, directly attacked the feudal and ignorant White Lotus Sect, helped the anti-Qing revolutionaries Sun Yat-sen and Lu Haodong, and fought a decisive battle with the counter-revolutionary official Nalan Yuanshu. Huang Feihong faced these things with an awe-inspiring and righteous mentality, but in this vast era, no matter how great the skill, he has always been a supporting role in this big era.
The image of "clocks" appears many times in the story, the clocks burned by the White Lotus Sect, Sun Wen and Lu Haodong used clocks to make an agreement, and Sun Wen used the clock to say the warning of cherishing time. Through this wonderful image, the intention of the film is revealed, which extends to thinking about human nature and life. Time flies, have you used actions to achieve your goals?
I guess many viewers regret the time they lost. In the film, Manchu China lags behind the Western countries by more than a hundred years, missing the great opportunity of the Industrial Revolution. So Sun Wenhui will say "time is very precious, we Chinese wasted a lot of time, we can't waste it anymore."
Come to think of it, this is a clever imagery metaphor. Compared with Sun Wen, Huang Feihong grew up under feudal indoctrination and did not accept the rendering of advanced Western civilization. Huang Feihong does not know how to read watches, and he does not have the concept of time, which implies that he still does not understand the concept of Western culture, international situation, and national consciousness.
Huang Feihong is a world-class martial artist, helpful, often uneven in the road, drawing swords to help each other, so his reputation is far-reaching, admired by thousands of people, and there are many apprentices. His mastery skills are solid kung fu, and he is honest and responsible, and he is of course the representative of practical things. The setting of the story about the character of Huang Feihong is of course very much in line with the public's expectations for Huang Feihong, a martial arts master. And the appearance of Sun Wen has the feeling of a thousand calls to come out, which complements the character of Huang Feihong.
Huang Feihong has done a lot of meaningful helping things in the film, all of which are from his chivalrous heart. Sun Wen and Lu Haodong, too, harbored their revolutionary ideals and wanted to help the whole world and realize China's self-reliance and self-reliance.
As Huang Feihong saw the world and met more and more people, he also learned more and more about what China and even the whole world looked like. Throughout the film, we can see the screenwriter and director's deep thinking about society and reality. Today's China is much stronger than the end of the Qing Dynasty, has stood up, achieved self-reliance, and we Chinese have the quality of immersing ourselves in hard work. But there is still a long way to go in terms of "strong" self-improvement.
In today's road to self-improvement, the pace of competition is accelerating, and we are prone to become impetuous, which may lead to rushing to achieve results, and it is easy to ignore the importance of laying a foundation step by step and laying a down-to-earth foundation.
We have long since moved away from feudal ignorance, but in the future, we still have a long way to go. On the way, we will also encounter times when we need to break the inherent thinking mode, need to broaden our horizons and open our horizons. Because as human beings, we are independent individuals, to achieve self-reliance and self-reliance, we must have our own ideals, our own ideas, our own patterns. Times.
The other character in the film, Naran Yuanshu, is the villain in the film. He was highly skilled in martial arts, admired martial arts, was loyal to the Qing government, and killed revolutionaries. Nevertheless, this is also a flesh-and-blood figure, with his own will and faith, and his own dignity. He dared to think and dare to do, in martial arts is Huang Feihong's opponent, for the Qing court, unscrupulous to climb upwards, although fierce, but this martial arts, the pursuit of the cause is also not easy, the amount of effort is unimaginable. He also loses a tyrant. Stand between heaven and earth and realize a strong self. It's just that the path he took was different from that of Huang Feihong and Sun Wen.
Several heroes and good men in the film use their actions and their deeds to show the true nature of heroes. As a pro-all big cockroach, even if we can't be heroes and create the situation, we can remember history, remember our life goals, work hard, and believe that there will always be a day to achieve our goals.
