No one can be left behind —— Comment on "No one can be left behind —— Film Review"
When I was in junior high school, I watched Zhang Yimou's No Child Left Behind on Asian TV. For us, it is difficult to understand the widespread phenomenon of dropping out of school in Chinese mainland, and our sympathy can only be temporary. Through countless school donations, participation in volunteer activities and famine campaigns, we have helped people in need in Chinese mainland. That's all. I can't say it's a tremor in my heart. In a rich society, we live a convenient city life, and the comfortable living environment makes most people unable to see more social reality, but I simply ignore the hard and simple life in this film and the many life problems I face without practical experience. "No child can be left behind" is a part of rural areas in northern China, which falls on the most realistic education problem in China. This situation is very terrible and serious. When I first saw this kind of movie, nothing attracted me. I usually watch more big productions, so I don't have much contact with this kind of movies. But this is by no means an excuse for me to refuse real movies. On the contrary, because of my love for culture, I have further curiosity and desire to explore poor rural areas in Chinese mainland after reading a lot of works by Jia Pingwa, Su Tong and Yu Hua.
The film is set in a rural area in Hebei, China. An old man (Miss Gao) teaches a group of poor rural students. Because he was going back to his hometown for a month's holiday, the village chief found Wei Minzhi, who was only thirteen years old, as a substitute teacher and promised to pay her fifty dollars. The story structure of the film is extremely simple, with only one development line. The starting point is that a classmate is among the best in the sports meeting because he runs fast. Wei Minzhi refused to give it to anyone, because she promised Miss Gao that "no one can be left behind" and was pulled out, which made her feel uneasy. Another student, Zhang, went to work in the city and lost another student. I missed two classmates in a row and didn't know how to explain it to Mr. Gao, so he decided to go to the city to find one. Therefore, the story moved from the rural scene to the city, and the story of the missing person in Wei Minzhi began. The story is simple, but the issues discussed are extremely heavy. First of all, the film brings out a group of naive rural children who have never seen the world and are educated in the countryside. There is an interesting thing here. What they learned is "copying the text", which was repeatedly told by Mr. Gao when he left. After copying, I will ask, "What more substantial things can I learn besides practicing calligraphy?" Therefore, it is conceivable that Mr. Gao's education is not high, and all he teaches is to copy the text on the blackboard in detail and let the students copy it in detail, which is a lesson. This makes it hard for me to imagine that there are more than a dozen subjects we usually take plus extra-curricular subjects, and the teachers have to pass extremely strict examinations to get their diplomas, and the teachers are all excellent, so I feel extremely pedantic about the feudal education of Gao teachers in the film, but this may be a problem that the film wants to reflect: the lack of academic qualifications of rural teachers. This problem is even more obvious when Wei Minzhi, who is only 13 years old, is appointed as a substitute teacher. Besides, it is unreasonable to bring a group of students with a child of 13 years old. If something goes wrong, it will lead to more problems. In the film, I want to go to the city to find a ticket and have no money to go out by car, so I lead a group of students to move bricks to earn fares. This is a problem.
In addition, the image of the city outlined in the film is also disturbing, especially Chinese mainland's habitual superior and subordinate position, even for children from rural areas. In the film, Wei Minzhi went to the TV station to meet the director, and the tone and attitude of the virgin staff showed that this was a social class, and the city people looked down on the country people. This is an example of the upper and lower classes in mainland society. I had such an experience when I went to the mainland before. We asked a policeman squatting on the side of the road for directions. He squatted and smoked his cigarette, completely treating us as transparent. What is even more intolerable is that there is a charge for going to the toilet, and the man who guards the door has a big tone. The face of having no money to go out makes me laugh and cry, and it's not just a dollar. It's not that I can't afford it, but don't you think this phenomenon is ridiculous?
In Ugly China, Bai Yang said, "Our big country has resources and a population of 800 million or 10 billion. If we can work together in Qi Xin, how can our situation in Asia be worse than that in Japan? " ? Due to the long-term mourning for the autocratic feudal social system, China people have stayed in this sauce jar for too long, and our thoughts and judgments, as well as our vision, have been polluted by the sauce jar and cannot jump out of the scope of the sauce jar. With the passage of time, most of us have lost the ability to distinguish right from wrong and lack moral courage. Everything is just based on emotions and intuition, and we can't think anymore. All behavioral values are based on moral standards and political standards in the sauce jar. So, there is no right or wrong, no black and white right or wrong. In such an environment, the understanding of things is rarely further understood and analyzed. "This' JiangGang' culture is a common problem of all China people. You can learn a lot from this movie, and you can also learn a lot in your daily life.
To understand the grotesque society in China today, you can go to the library to find a monograph, or you can go to the research institute to listen to a lecturer's long speech, or it is more convenient to look at Yu Hua's novel Brothers, which reveals the grotesque society in China since the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s. I don't want to talk about social problems in China here. This kind of problem is too heavy and too big for me. Let's leave it to the sociology department of the university for further discussion. When we talk about movies, movies present various social problems in the form of records, just like our third eye. There is nothing simpler than looking at the world we live in from different angles. It reflects the education problems in rural areas of China today, and we can see more and more problems in China. This is what movies can do and what audiences can find. The film has a good ending. Wei Minzhi's tracing action has aroused public concern and received many donations. Zhang Yimou doesn't seem to want to deny the existence of human nature in China, nor does he tend to be numb in the changes of the times, but this is not the luck that all poor rural areas in China can get. There are countless rural children in China who have ups and downs between dropping out of school and working.
pretty big feet
The husband was shot for ignorance and the child died. Facing the hardships of life, Zhang Meili, a young woman from the western countryside, understood some truth. She put all her feelings on her children and asked the village chief to be a "king of children".
Zhang Meili is enthusiastic, philosophical, natural and sincere, chivalrous, and treats students as her own. She teaches a group of mud children in a mud house. She taught them to read and make sentences in her strong local dialect; She leads the children to sing, dance and play games with an out-of-tune voice and awkward posture; She touched and influenced Yu Xia, an urban beauty, with inch by inch tenderness; She won the support of the children with her brave chivalry; She played a love swan song with her face covered. She wrote a touching "beautiful life" with her "beautiful feet"!
Zhang Meili and a group of children are singing and dancing in the flying loess, welcoming Yu Xia, a beautiful young female teacher who teaches in Beijing. Life on the yellow land subtly changed Yu Xia's life track, and at the same time gradually changed the footprint of "Beautiful Bigfoot".
Yu Xia is not adapted to the hard life in the mainland. She was surprised at the severity of water shortage in the mountain village, and Zhang Meili's simple enthusiasm often made her laugh and cry, even flew into a rage, because Zhang Meili washed her expensive coat. Seeing the sincere and optimistic Zhang Meili, it is hard for Yu Xia to imagine Zhang Meili's suffering experience. In the days of getting along with each other day and night, the misunderstanding, conflict, understanding and moving between the two women unfolded through calm water and subtle things, and Zhang Meili's image was full and vivid. Yu Xia was unconsciously shocked by Zhang Meili's beautiful mind. When her husband came to take her back to Beijing, Yu Xia finally chose yellow land, simplicity and sincerity, so she broke up with her husband. After Yu Xia became pregnant, Zhang Meili sent Yu Xia back to Beijing to have a baby, but Yu Xia quietly gave up the baby and returned to the mountain village school. Zhang Meili put Yu Xia on her back, crying and cursing. As a rural woman who has lost her husband and children, having children of her own is the greatest happiness. Zhang Meili can't figure out how Yu Xia didn't want this child. Yu Xia also cried on Zhang Meili's back. She can't tell this simple woman her ominous premonition about her marriage prospects. It was in order to avoid the future misfortune of her child that she had to give up reluctantly. Two women with completely different life experiences are telling the same pain in their hearts with the same tears at this time, expressing the same desire for children and life. At that moment, there was no difference between them. The most essential emotions in their hearts were completely integrated and shone with the most beautiful human light.
In order to buy computers for children, she asked for help everywhere. When she looked for the "rich man" in the village, and the "rich man" said that as long as she drank a bottle of white wine in one breath, Zhang Meili drank a bottle of "Erguotou" without hesitation. At this time, Zhang Meili is definitely a heroine who sacrificed her life for justice.
After volunteering, Yu Xia graduated from Loess University and Bigfoot Class. Here, she experienced the secret of emotion, understood the essence of life and realized the true meaning of life. Out of gratitude, Yu Xia invited Zhang Meili and the children to visit Beijing. Zhang Meili came to Beijing with her children, with a complex mood of self-esteem and inferiority. Facing the modernization of the city and the slow pace and prejudice of some people in the city, Zhang Meili became emotional and told the children something to change poverty and life destiny.
In the shackles of secularism and culture, the relationship between Zhang Meili, as a "third party", and the film projectionist Wang Shu is also quite bitter and interesting. With the development of the plot, Zhang Meili reluctantly bid farewell to that bittersweet love.
In an accident, Zhang Meili's life was dying. Zhang Meili accepted death calmly, just as she accepted the hardships of life. Facing death, she said with a smile: People came into this world crying, but they had to leave with a smile. ...
The children sang sad children's songs in hoarse voices to see her off; Yu Xia said goodbye to her with tears on her face; Wang Shu sat at the entrance of the village like a sculpture, silently guarding her grave ... The sound of "beautiful feet" is far away and the sound is endless. ...
She explained to us the optimism in her life.
