Recently, I have been watching "The Age of Awakening" with ten-year-old CC children, and while watching the drama, I have expanded my reading of books and materials such as "This is Lu Xun", Li Dazhao's "Youth", "Internationale", deng Zhongxia martyr's reading notes and other related books and materials. With the continuous deepening of the drama, the children began to think about some problems, and I discussed with the children through the form of chat dialogue, guiding the children to understand their own emotions, what a great awakening, a great century of ups and downs.
CC: Mom, why did you make a TV for Awakening?
Me: Because the awakening of that era a hundred years ago was so difficult!
CC: Why was it so hard to wake up in that era?
Me: Imagine that you are the first and only person in the world who knows that crabs can be eaten, and as an awakened person, are you going to convince other people that crabs can be eaten?
CC:...... It's quite difficult.
Me: What do you have to do to convince other people?
CC:...... It's very simple, I eat it on the spot and show them.
Me: You're right, if the very few people who first awakened wanted to make others believe in themselves, they had to experiment with themselves to prove it, right? If you don't show up in person, someone will definitely say, "You don't dare to eat it yourself, so why should I believe it?"
CC: That's right.
Me: So, that's why the Awakeners have to pay their blood and their lives to prove it. Also, can you make everyone believe it just once on the spot?
CC：...... That certainly can't be, at most it is not a few people's letters that you see, you have to eat many times, and you have to record videos everywhere!
Me: Yes, that's why the awakened people have to spare no effort to run "New Youth", and they must make vigorous publicity to let more people know. Also, you say that those who see it will believe it, but those who see it will believe it?
CC: I'll believe it... Why not?
Me: Wouldn't anyone suspect that the video was fake? Because you are only the only one who knows the truth, there are no companions on your side to testify for you, but more voices are questioning. For example, they will ask, how do you prove that you are eating crab meat? Is your performance a blind alley? Have you ever taken the antidote beforehand? You will face all kinds of questions and questions, how are you going to convince them?
CC: Yeah, hey, it's so hard, so I'll just forget about it, I know that crab is delicious. So that's why the Awakeners argue with other people?
Me: That's just one aspect. Whether crabs can be eaten, this kind of problem can be immediately verified by on-the-spot experiments. But is the question of "which way can we take to save the country and save the country" that can be verified on the spot?
CC: That's not okay, it's going to be a lot of things that may not be seen in years, even in their lifetimes, how to convince others to believe, really --of--very-difficult--ah!
Me: You close your eyes and imagine that in a dark world, there are a few small spots of light in the distance, scattered in different directions, and only a very small number of you awakened people believe that there must be a world of light beyond the darkness, but no one has ever been out. Which direction is really leading to the light? Which direction is the dead end? How long will it take? How do you choose?
CC: I understand, so that era was like the Spring and Autumn Warring States Hundred Schools of Contention, there will be all kinds of theories and arguments, many people are looking for different ways, Li Dazhao and Hu Shi, Chen Duxiu and Yannian they will argue and argue? In other words, can't we learn the United States as Hu Shi said?
Me: It's like you make a roll, will you take the roll from the next class and copy it directly?
CC：...... Then we must first see if the same volume and the title are exactly the same!
Me: That's right. In the middle of the black box, how do you know that your dark labyrinth problem is the same as other people's problems? Are the question types the same? Even if the question types are exactly the same and the data conditions are different, you can't directly copy the answers, right?
CC: Yes! When it comes to arguments, that's still my brother Xun, no nonsense, every word pokes the heart!
Me: Very right, Lu Xun is not worthy of being your idol!
CC: Yes, my Xun Brother's "Kong Yiji" is also very well written!
Me: So, The Age of Awakening is about recreating the process of awakening in that era. Let us see how a small number of pioneers awakened, how these awakened minority chose different paths to explore in the darkness, why did they diverge in different directions on the road of "New Youth", and why did Nan Chen and Bei Li choose the communist road and the founding of the party, and finally let us reach today's appearance? You say the process is difficult?
CC: Hard! The point is that there is no way to prove to the people at that time that this path was the right choice! Chen Duxiu couldn't even convince his son at first!
Me: Yeah, it took us a hundred years to prove it! At that time, these pioneers, in the darkness of a hundred years ago, proved with their blood and lives that they firmly believed that the path they chose would inevitably lead China out of the darkness to today's light. Isn't that remarkable, you say?
CC: Yes! Amazing Awakeners! Our hundred years are really not easy! It took a hundred years to prove that this is also remarkable! Thankfully, we're done!
Me: No, we still have to prove it! We and your generation still have to prove that the path chosen by the sages will lead to a brighter and better future; we also have to prove to the revolutionary martyrs that the new world they bought with their blood and lives will not be let down by us, right?
CC: That's, like the bullet hell says, "Our good life today is the best sequel to The Age of Awakening," and we're going to do the sequel!
Me: Well said!
We must not forget the original intention and act in a good sequel!
