From the plot point of view, Wu Zhongxin, the soul of the Communist Party Shanghai Station, is seriously ill and is already a person who is about to go offline, Xiaoqing and Shi Dachuan can only fight, Ma Tianmu must really fight with the enemy by his own strength, in fact, he has always been a person circling with the enemy! This is also the main core point of the three words of the title "Forerunner", but the most ingenious setting of this play is to accompany Ma Tian to the present, and there are two people, one is Pei Ruhai, and the other is Yu Duxing! They all have one thing in common at Shanghai Station, that is, they are cornered! They must move forward to find organizations that recognize them. And the direction of progress is also the idea that is most loyal to oneself in the depths of the heart. Some for living, some for revenge, some for faith.
Pei Ruhai's gou and stealthy life
Pei Ruhai is a very good person, how good, a sentence can prove that the two male protagonists of this drama, Ma Tianmu, Tang Xianping, including chairman Jiang's most valued members of the Revival Society, are his students! His first identity was that of the leader of the Shanghai Station organization with a relatively high status in the Communist Party organization, and he was on an equal footing with Wu Zhongxin. However, after he was arrested by the Kuomintang reactionaries in a failed operation, he immediately chose to surrender with a "dead heart", and from then on he was a ruthless and ruthless killing of the Communists, even more crazy than the Kuomintang reactionaries. Second, he needed to show his loyalty to the Kuomintang government.
So he was arranged to go to the Shanghai station to assist Pei Ruhai, the director of the bureau, in catching the Communists, but before long he jumped to the Revival Society led by Chairman Jiang himself as a teacher, and Pei Ruhai's every move was very obvious, that is, to live, to live better. But the Kuomintang government is no better than the Communist Party, the Communist Party has only one regime, but the Kuomintang government has many political powers, so it is easy to exclude each other, Pei Ruhai and Yu Duxing are precisely in various complicated circumstances the relationship between the two is getting more and more quarrelsome, until the last who gets the power wants to kill each other. It was inevitable that the Communists would want to commit adultery, but with Chairman Chiang Kai-shek paying close attention to him, the Kuomintang faction headed by Yu Duxing at the Shanghai station also tried every means to kill him!
So when the Kuomintang regarded him as a thorn in the eye, he chose to throw himself into the Japanese army. Then there is the temptation that neither the Kuomintang nor the Communists can seduce, the one who cannot be seduced, and his various bottomless things are only for the sake of living, but they are also doomed to his end is absolutely impossible to live! Pei Ruhai's deeds also tell us a truth, no matter how strong a person's ability is, but if there is no bottom line, it is impossible to be valued by the organization, he himself also knows that in addition to living a life of concealment and fear, his most uncomfortable thing is that he has to prove his "absolute loyalty" to the current organization all the time, but it is meaningless, just like Yu Duxing's evaluation of him, traitors are traitors everywhere! Accepting him is nothing more than using his surplus value.
Yu Du woke up in annoyance and anger
In the first half of the plot, Yu Duxing, as the chief of the Kuomintang Shanghai Police Bureau, can be said to have all the evil deeds of the Kuomintang officials at that time, he was corrupt and righteous, because they were all done according to the will of the superior leaders, his understanding of being an official is very simple, that is, to promote officials and get rich, and also taught his righteous son Tang Xianping the "secret" of being an official in the Kuomintang government. But he also has the toughness in the bones of Chinese tradition. When he was hated by the powerful Pei Ruhai, he was fearless, even if he was electrocuted by the electric chair to death and come back to life!
His indifference is more like a portrayal of the officials who were in the Kuomintang government at that time, who should be greedy and greedy, and when they are wronged, they only admit their fate, and they do not need too much struggle, because the struggle is useless, and there is no truth to speak of in the environment of the Kuomintang government. Because he was well aware of the dangers of the official road, he had already prepared himself for "encountering an accident"! He also lamented that his son should never think about becoming an official, and it was enough to eat and drink and live a peaceful life. His inaction was more like the result of the kuomintang government's corruption that discouraged him. His behavior of following Wang Jingwei was more like a silent protest against Chairman Chiang's incompetence.
Of course, Chairman Jiang is also a person who likes to settle accounts after the autumn, and when he completely fell out with Wang Jingwei, he did not intend to let Yu Duxing go, so he directly sent him to the front line in a random name, the intention was obviously to let Yu Duxing sacrifice his life for the country, Yu Duxing was a stomach full of hatred but there was no way, when he was persuaded to surrender by the old enemy Pei Ruhai in Shanghai, he was very angry, thinking that killing Cheng Ren was his only choice, and he did not want to go with Pei Ruhai! However, in the end, Pei Ruhai's words stung him, the Kuomintang was not worth his life, whether it was Jiang or Wang, yu Duxing was really not so important to them, and he threw it away if he wanted. This is also the real reason for Yu Du's awakening and qualitative change! He was not reconciled!
The same is to the Japanese, Yu Duxing's surrender to the Japanese is very different from Pei Ruhai, Pei Ruhai can be said to be "three servility", when the three forces, the communist, the country, the Day, he was mixed, where there is milk is the type of mother. But Yu Du woke up is not, first of all, he did not consider surrendering to the Communist Party, at that time in the era of chaos, people had their own beliefs and normal, it was his loyalty to the Kuomintang that was deeply hurt by the Kuomintang, his surrender was also temporary, some people may say, Pei Ruhai two sentences to surrender him? It's hilarious, isn't it? But it was precisely these two sentences that stung him.
He was not a traitor and a sneaker, he was not afraid of death, but his surrender was only to take revenge on the Kuomintang government! There is a detail comparison: after Pei Ruhai surrendered to the Japanese army, he raided the inn of the Communist contact point Sister Jiang to pay tribute to the Japanese army, and it should be known that the attack power of this site is very low, and it also kills all the passengers, which is effortless at all! But Yu Du woke up, he was directly looking for the Revival Society, and he should know that the attack power of the Revival Society was first-class! Pei Ruhai is seeking survival, and Yu Duxing is revenge! The same is done hj, but it is really a world of difference! Of course, these two people can also see the defeat of the Kuomintang government when they move forward alone! Both of them really want to contribute to the KUOMINTANG, but the truth is so ironic, no matter how good the talents, the KMT can use them up!
Ma Tianmu was unswerving
Ma Tianmu, who was born from the Whampoa Military Academy and also participated in the warlord war, was also addicted to drugs because of his despair of the world at that time, and under the development of Wu Zhongxin, he became an underground party member, and from his own account, he said that he was willing to be reborn because he saw the light and the hope for the future of the country. There is a very interesting detail is that although Yu Duxing is loyal to the party-state, he is a big embezzler, from Shanghai all the way to Nanjing, and he feels very normal! After Ma Tianmu switched to the Communist Party, he gave the money he had saved to the organization as a fund every once in a while, which may be unbelievable to many people after watching it!
But at that time, the difference between the two parties was so exaggerated that Kuomintang officials who were not greedy would feel that they were out of place, because the whole government was greedy. The Communist Party's side relies on everyone to consciously donate money and materials! So those who join the Communist Party, they will find that there is nothing but faith! It was this belief that led them to discover that the nation was saved. At that time, as long as you understood the Communist Party, let alone materials, you would not hesitate to pay for your life! Ma Tianmu had mixed with each of his parties, and it was precisely because of the comparison that the more he discovered that the Communist Party was different! Later, he was like a kite with a broken line, plus he also became the chief inspector general, fame and fortune, calling the wind and rain to reach the peak of his life, at this time, even if he did not return to the organization, plus he had been a secret agent, no one could help him!
But he not only gave up fame and fortune, but also preferred to risk his life, continue to move forward, and sacrifice everything for the Communist Party, even if many underground party members at that time had a great misunderstanding of him! But he knew that the country had reached its most dangerous moment! Shanghai has also fallen! Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's army also retreated as expected. As a Chinese, the most important thing to do and the only hope is to make the Communists stronger! If the country is defeated, what about the survival of oneself who is rich and wealthy? Don't look at people's faces and do things? Looking at Tang Xianping again, he is actually a clean stream in the Kuomintang, and corruption is never done, but for him, it seems that it is more important to seize the Communist Party than to fight the Japanese army! This also makes it clearer to feel the most important difference between the two parties!
Although the struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cannot be fought badly, the Communist Party fights for the country, while the Kuomintang fights only for the Kuomintang. Communists want the people to live a good life. The Kuomintang wanted to make itself a good life. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Communist Party did its best to protect every Chinese of one heart and one mind to resist Japan together, regardless of faction. The Kuomintang wanted to use the power of the Japanese army to eliminate the Communists. Of course, in the end, the Communist Party did not eliminate the Kuomintang, which was destroyed by itself. Just as Tang Xianping, a representative of the Kuomintang, has always wanted to eliminate Ma Tianmu, a representative of the Communist Party. But Ma Tianmu never wanted to destroy Tang Xianping! But what! Tang Xianping himself was in a mess, and all kinds of infighting within the Kuomintang were messy, which made people look at it painfully!
Some people say that the plot is too fake, and Ma Tianmu can't die if he is shot in the river! In fact, this is more of a spiritual symbol, even if Ma Tianmu dies, there will be thousands of Ma Tianmu standing up, there is also such a description in the play, Jiang Father is dead, Jiang Sister is dead, Sister Jiang is dead, Jiang Sister is up! That was the case with the Communists at that time! One by one, the family went forward and followed one by one, how could they not finish fighting, and in the end, whether it was the Kuomintang or the Japanese army, why were they all crazy to kill ordinary people? Because in their eyes, everyone looks like the Communist Party! This is the best expression of despair! Therefore, it does not matter whether Ma Tianmu dies or not, every time he is reborn in Nirvana, the faith of the Communists is burning! His forward movement seems lonely but full of strength! "The Forerunner" also makes people see clearly why the Communist Party can come to the end through the advance of three different factions!
"The Forerunner" is a modern revolutionary TV series directed by Gong Zhaohui and starring Zhang Luyi, Nie Yuan, Han Xue, Guo Xiaoting, Cao Weiyu, Huo Qing, Zheng Luoqian, Lu Gongzhen, Du Gonghai, Wang Cong, Zhao Yang, Zhang Fan, etc. Here I also want to give Guo Qiucheng's role of Guan Xue'an to praise this marginal supporting role, his last clip is too memorable as a member of the Kuomintang, he is patriotic, so in the early stage of the War of Resistance, he was very supportive of the Cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. However, at this time, he only proceeded from the starting point of the people, and his belief and understanding of the Communist Party were not very clear.
But when the Kuomintang wanted to punish him, at the most critical moment, he met with Wu Zhongxin of the Communist Party, and although he did not know much about the style of the Communist Party, he was still clear about the style of the Kuomintang, so he planned to die and serve the country! But after listening to Wu Zhongxin's advice to let him live first, he was trembling slightly, which may be the light that Ma Tianmu said, and from that moment on, he seemed to truly understand why the Communist Party was excellent!
As a member of the Kuomintang, he has an incomparable recognition of the Communist Party, and this is also the biggest irony of the Kuomintang! The best thing about "The Forerunner" is that it never criticizes how corrupt the Kuomintang was at that time, but through a person and a matter, let people feel the difference between the two parties! Pay tribute to the heroes and martyrs of that era who threw their heads and spilled their blood for the country! Victory will always belong only to justice!
