Recently, I often see people posting books they have read on the Internet, and found that many people have a copy of "Furong Town", I have not read the book, yesterday I went to find a movie to watch.
Because I didn't like to read reviews before I watched the movie, I was skeptical about this movie with a rating of 9.2 – what happens in a town, let you shoot flowers, can make so many viewers buy it?
After reading it, I found that I was sloppy.
I often make this mistake, which is related to my lack of knowledge, and ignorant people like to evaluate all things in the world with their own cognitive level, so in the end I come to the conclusion that if I continue like this, I will become a stupid hat, or I will be a stupid hat.
Fortunately, I was able to realize this in time, unlike some people who have lived all their lives and have always thought of themselves as smart people.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" data-track="11" > the general plot of "Hibiscus Town"</h1>
The story told in this work takes place in the 1960s, in a place called Furong Town, where the "superiors" tell the villagers that Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Wu are "bad people" and that we must be wary of them and criticize them! As a result, these bad people's wives were separated and lived a life worse than death.
The main line of the story is Liu Xiaoqing's tofu Xi Shi Hu Yuyin, and the fate of this woman can be described by a tragic word.
Hu Yuyin, originally an ordinary woman who set up a stall in Furong Town to sell rice and tofu snacks, her husband was an honest man, and the couple got up early and worked greedily for several years and made some money, but at this time, the "superior" sent Director Li Guoxiang.
Li Guoxiang's power is very large, as soon as he came, he divided Hu Yuyin into the ranks of the "bad guys" of that era, let everyone criticize her together, property confiscation is not OK, don't do business, sweep the street!
As the saying goes, the man out of the leopard, Hu Yuyin's husband don't look at the usual three feet can not kick a fart, but was forced to be anxious, ready to do Li Guoxiang, the result was caught "click".
Hu Yuyin cried in the cemetery all night and met Qin Shutian, who had long been classified as a "bad person", at this time an interesting thing happened, Qin Shutian wanted to help her, but Hu Yuyin also thought that he was a bad person. Why? Because the "superior" had already made up his mind about Qin Shutian, he was a bad person!
But as the saying goes, monks don't look down on bald people, Hu Yuyin and Qin Shutian stood on the same running line, and the two of them swept the street on time early every morning, doing the work of bad people.
This time and two, the two bad guys actually had feelings, and Hu Yuyin was pregnant.
Qin Shutian applied for marriage, and the "superior" said: You are both bad to the bone, and you still want to get married? There are no doors!
Not only that, Qin Shutian was also sentenced to ten years in prison, and before leaving, he was afraid that Hu Yuyin would not be able to open it, so he said a meaningful sentence to her: "Live, live like an animal."
As soon as Qin Shutian left, Hu Yuyin's life as a pregnant woman could be imagined. Perhaps it was the words that Qin Shutian said to Hu Yuyin before leaving that played a role, and Hu Yuyin insisted on giving birth to the child and raising it alone.
Later, Qin Shutian's problem was clearly investigated, and it turned out that he was not a "bad person", so he was released from prison and returned home, and together with Hu Yuyin, he started his old business - setting up stalls to sell rice and tofu.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="02" data-track="2" > use "The Ragged Crowd" to analyze "Furong Town"</h1>
There is a passage in the book "The Ragged Crowd":
In terms of emotions, group members are very similar to primitive animals, their ability to distinguish is extremely poor, and they can only grasp things in the dimension of good or bad, and cannot see the intermediate state. As soon as emotions appear, they will spread rapidly through hints and contagion mechanisms, the power of the object of praise will be infinitely magnified, and the enthusiasm of the masses will rise to extreme exaggeration.
The work "Furong Town" tells such a story: the superior has instructions to criticize some people, that must be right, the enthusiasm of the masses is very high, there is no need to distinguish between right and wrong, that is tired, follow the end!
The "superiors" are creating an emotion in which the masses of Hibiscus are a lot like primitive animals, who have no ability to discern right from wrong. Even if a few people have this ability, they are quickly overwhelmed by the enthusiasm and high-pitched slogans of others.
It is worth mentioning that the ability to distinguish between right and wrong is not directly related to a person's level of education and social status. Just like The wife of Li Mangeng in the film, although she is only a housewife, she has thought about what is happening around her, and she is very dissatisfied with this kind of fighting life.
More people, like Wang Qiuyu, simply follow the blind executioners and use destruction as a pleasure to satisfy their psychological needs.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="03" data-track="30" > Wang Qiu pardon</h1>
There is a saying in "The Ragtag":
The group instinctively seeks its master among energetic and faith-hardened people, and they will always need such a figure.
Wang Qiuyu is a typical representative of this kind of person, who was originally a rogue in Furong Town, and was in a state of semi-madness for many years. It is such a person, from a lazy man that everyone hates, to a "secretary" that everyone is obsessed with.
He actually has no faith of his own, just follows the blind wall grass, if you have to say merit, his only "advantage" is obedience.
Before Hu Yuyin was identified as a "bad person," he went to Hu Yuyin's rice and tofu stall to eat and drink together; after the "superior" sent Li Guoxiang to Furong Town to engage in sports, he followed Li Guoxiang in front of the saddle and followed Li Guoxiang to obey his orders; when the "superior" said that Li Guoxiang was also a "bad person," he was the first to let Li Guoxiang hang up his broken shoes and stand in the heavy rain to be criticized; after Li Guoxiang was reinstated, he regarded himself as a dog of Li Guoxiang and was willing to be her underground lover.
Ironically, it is such a bottomless prick who actually became the branch secretary of Furong Town.
However, his ending was not very good: when everything returned to normal and there was no "movement" to do, Wang Qiuyu went crazy, carrying a broken gong every day to knock on the town, and shouting "Exercise, movement!" ”
To sum up Wang Qiuyu in one sentence: I saw him living in a broken building, I saw him become a secretary, and I saw him collapse.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="04" data-track="9" > Li Guoxiang</h1>
Many people scolded Li Guoxiang after watching this movie, saying that Li Guoxiang ruined other people's families and lives. I want to see that Li Guoxiang is the most miserable person in this movie.
Even Li Mangeng's wife, this illiterate housewife, has a little ability to distinguish between right and wrong, but Li Guoxiang does not, she has been completely institutionalized.
So, when she was also classified as a bad person by the "superiors" and wandered the streets with broken shoes, she couldn't figure out how I had been loyally catching the bad guys, how could I become a bad guy myself?
If analyzed according to the "Ragtag Crowd", Li Guoxiang is a typical member of the group and meets all the characteristics of the "group":
The group will resist the weak and deceitful at any time, and whisper to the powerful... Groups are strongly dominated by unconscious factors, so it is easy to succumb to the secular hierarchy, and it is inevitable that they will be very conservative. Leave them alone, and they will soon get weary of the chaos and instinctively become slaves.
For Hu Yuyin, it can be said that Li Guoxiang single-handedly ruined her life. People set up a small stall early and greedily made some hard money, but when they got to Li Guoxiang, they couldn't do it, and she also made a special account for Hu Yuyin, saying that the money she earned in business was equivalent to the income of a provincial cadre, and finally came to a conclusion: Hu Yuyin was simply a heinous person.
However, according to Li Guoxiang's logic, at least two points can be affirmed. First, everyone must be poor, preferably so hungry that they have no food to eat, so that everyone can be friends; second, the current businessmen are damned, because their incomes have far exceeded the salary level of leading cadres.
Li Guoxiang, this woman, the institutionalization of the three views is unconscious, she does not feel that she is harming people, but thinks that she is doing the way for Skywalker.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="05" data-track="46" > Li Mangeng</h1>
The role of Li Mangeng, although it is a supporting role in the movie, is very representative.
He and Hu Yuyin were originally green plum bamboo horses, and should have been an enviable couple, but Li Mangeng faced two choices in this life, and both times he chose Mingzhe to protect himself.
The first time was when he was preparing to marry Hu Yuyin, the "superior" told him that Hu Yuyin's origin was not good, and if you chose to marry her, you would have to give up your future, and as a result, Li Mangeng resolutely chose the latter.
The second time was after Li Guoxiang came, Hu Yuyin was identified as a "bad person", out of trust, she gave the 1500 yuan she earned from doing business to Li Mangeng for safekeeping, and then went out to escape for a while. This time, in order to clear up his relationship, Li Mangeng once again chose to hand over Hu Yuyin's money to the "superior".
In fact, no matter what era, there are many "Li Man Geng" around us, they have a certain ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and can predict their own noble or humble results, but the egoism in their bones makes them have no suspense in every choice.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="06" data-track="51" > passerby A</h1>
Passer-by A here refers to the villagers, which is also the group that Le Pen refers to in "The Ragged Crowd".
The disappearance of the conscious personality, the gain of the unconscious personality, the turning of thought and feelings in a common direction by implication and mutual contagion, and the tendency to immediately translate suggestive ideas into action are the main characteristics exhibited by the individuals who make up the group.
The film repeatedly portrays a scene in which villagers think it is not their business when they see others being criticized, and sometimes laugh.
Personality was too harsh for the group of that era, but it was also impossible to push all the faults up to the times.
Because, to this day, if you walk into a company, you can find a similar situation: between employees and employees, between employees and bosses, between bosses and bosses, it is simply a modern version of "Hibiscus Town".
A company that has achieved modern operations still has Li Guoxiang, Wang Qiuyu, Li Mangeng, Hu Yuyin, and a large number of passers-by.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="07" data-track="61" > written at the end</h1>
Compared with others, there is a "bad person" in "Furong Town" who lives to understand that this person is Qin Shutian.
Qin Shutian, a person, has his own set of yardsticks to measure right and wrong, and he also knows how to advance and retreat. He dared to pursue the woman he loved, even if he would fall into the abyss, because that was his "heart"; when he was powerless to change reality, he could see the only way: to live like an animal.
Then again, what is the merits? Probably every era is different.
