"Hawthorn Tree Love" is a novel written by Amy, a Chinese-American based on the experience of a friend, from the personal experience of a woman, and has been called "the cleanest love novel in history". In September 2010, Zhang Yimou's film of the same name, based on the novel "The Love of hawthorn trees", was released
The book tells such a story: Jing Qiu is a city girl, because of the bad family composition, she was hit during the Cultural Revolution and has always been very inferior. When Jing Qiu was in high school, she was selected to go to Xicunping to experience life, live in the village chief's house, and met the "old third".
The third elder was the son of the commander of the military region, fell in love with Jingqiu, was willing to do anything for Jingqiu, and gave Jingqiu great encouragement. When all of Jing Qiu's wishes came true, the third elder died of leukemia.
Some people say: A hand in hand is a lifetime. Zhang Yimou's "Love of hawthorn tree", I like the innocent feelings of Lao San and Jing Qiu.
A brilliant smile, and finally all the happiness, fixed in a scene of clicking a group photo, the original drama's plain as flowing water green love story, and finally in the glass slag in the sugar, is to make up for the shortcomings in the heart
"This is the student writer from town?"
"No, no, not a writer, I'm a student in middle school"
Many times, a person finds that he is in love with a person, it is when he is separated from him, and suddenly he can't see that person, only to realize that he has unconsciously developed a strong attachment to that person.
The end of the story comes from the leukemia of the third elder, although the two of them have made a vow, but the third is still unwilling to delay Jingqiu, during his illness, he chose to leave silently until the moment when he will die. And Jing Qiu was still doubting the reason for the departure of the third elder, and at the moment when she saw him in the ward, she understood everything, but it was too late, and she could only watch her lover leave silently.
The reason why it is classified as a pure love film is that there is nothing but them just "holding hands and secretly kissing", and it may also be because this "waiting" is too much and rare, and who will really wait for their lover for so long.
The movie "Love of the Hawthorn Tree" was carefully created by Zhang Yimou, and from the pleasant exchanges between Zhang Yimou and college students recently returned to his alma mater, the Beijing Film Academy, it can be known that this script really made him feel a momentary touch. He said that he actually came from that era, so he had a lot of experience, no wonder some posters even played "Zhang Yimou's first love story". The film uses the technique of white painting to show a real scene, a warm picture, the old three are sincere, and the quiet autumn love sinus has just opened. There are several shots that vividly express the "pure love" of lao san and Jing Qiu - lao san and Jing Qiu cross the small river, and the old third wants to reach out and hold Jing Qiu, but Jing Qiu shrinks his hand and retreats. The third elder found a branch, and one of them pulled one head. As he walked, the third elder's hand got closer and closer to Jing Qiu, and finally shook Jing Qiu's hand. Jing Qiu made floor for the school basketball court, her foot was burned out of the skin, the third elder wanted to send her to the hospital, Jing Qiu refused, so anxious that the third elder cut a knife in the arm, frightening Jing Qiu had to go to the hospital. In order not to affect Jingqiu's future, the third elder agreed with Jingqiu's mother's opinion and temporarily did not interact with Jingqiu. Before saying goodbye, he asked to re-bandage Jing Qiu's feet. The old third bandaged while shedding tears, and Jing Qiu was also in tears. The third elder knew that he had a terminal illness, but did not tell Jingqiu, they looked at each other on both sides of the river in love, and did not want to be separated for a long time. The action of hugging across the river is lamentable. And the most memorable thing is the final difference between Jing Qiu and Lao San. At the time of his death, the third elder's eyes had been watching his photo with Jing Qiu, and he couldn't stop breathing for a few days. When Jing Qiu wore the clothes made of the red cloth that the third elder bought for her, and cried out silently, "I am Jing Qiu, I am Jing Qiu, I am Jing Qiu...", two tears rolled down from the corners of the eyes of the third elder, and the lamp of life was extinguished. Jing Qiu has never called the third elder, and the most emotional one said was "It's good to know you." Originally, I thought that at this time, JingQiu would give Lao San an intimate title, which is also what Lao San has been looking forward to, but Jing Qiu still failed to say it, maybe this is the so-called love in the heart is difficult to open. The film interprets a pure and beautiful love, if you can love it unforgettable, it should also be a regret-free life. "I can't wait for you for a year and a month, or I can't wait for you for 25 years, but I'm going to wait for you for the rest of my life." This kind of love should be the love we yearn for.
