In Zhang Yimou's latest film "Shadow", in addition to the excellent old actors Deng Chao, Sun Li, Hu Jun, Arqie and Wang Qianyuan, there are two new generation actors who are also very eye-catching. One is Qing Ping, played by Liuhua Guan Xiaotong, and the other is Yang Ping, the son of Yang Cang, the state war god, played by Leo, the "national brother".

With the joining of so many good actors, the performance of each role is impressive, but to say who is more popular with the audience, Guan Xiaotong's Qing Ping is undoubtedly the most lovable role.

The picture of the film consists of three colors: black, white and gray, and the characters in the play can just correspond to black, white and gray.

Caught in the whirlpool of power struggle, Yu Zi, Yingzhou, Guo Pei, Tian Zhan, the military commander, and Yang Cang, the god of war, fought each other because of power and desire, representing evil and evil darkness.

Xiao Ai, the wife of the viceroy, was sandwiched between two men with similar appearance and different personalities, and her heart was full of contradictions and struggles, so it was a contradictory and helpless gray between black and white.

Qingping's personality is simple, smart and stubborn, with clear grievances, courage and determination, which is the truest and best white.

It can be said that Qingping is the most beautiful part of the whole movie, a lotus flower in the swamp of sin, and the only bright and warm color in the dark and depressing story atmosphere.

It is said that this script was born out of the story of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in which Guo Pei was Soochow among the Three Kingdoms and Qingping was Sun Shangxiang, the monarch of Soochow.

In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a male-dominated novel, most of the main female characters are miserable. They were either used as pawns in the honey trap, such as the story of Diusim, or brutally occupied as trophies, such as Zhen Fu, or lost their husbands at a young age and died alone, such as Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao.

Therefore, although Sun Shangxiang was outstanding in martial arts and strong-willed, he eventually became a victim of political marriage.

Sun Quan let his sister out as bait, trying to trap and kill Liu Bei. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang saw through him and turned against an army. He had to marry his sister to Liu Bei, which is the famous story of "losing his wife and losing his soldiers" in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. There is a famous Beijing opera "Kanluoji", which is this scene.

Although the prototype of Qing Ping in Shadow is Sun Shangxiang, it is quite different from Sun Shangxiang. Sun Shangxiang is an out-and-out victim and can only be at the mercy of fate, while Qing Ping, on the other hand, leads another life.

In the movie Shadow, Qingping is also my brother's pawn, trying to disappoint the enemy through marriage, so even in front of the civil and military officials of the Qing Dynasty, Yang Ping's emissary offered to take Qingping, who is a princess, as a concubine, and my brother agreed.

One is the princess of Guo Pei, and the other is the son of the great General China. This marriage is already a princess's marriage, but Yang Ping wants Qingping to be his concubine. For a princess, this is tantamount to a great shame.

Qingping doesn't know that for her brother, marriage is only a stopgap measure, but for Yang Ping, deliberately insulting the princess is just one of them. Qingping only knows that it is impossible to distinguish right from wrong in the power struggle. And she doesn't want anyone's chess pieces, she's just herself.

Whether it is true or not, she will protect the dignity of a princess in her own way. She accepted Yang Ping's betrothal gift, a sharp dagger, and agreed to this marriage.

She will personally remove Yang Ping's head, kill this man who tramples on his dignity at will, and wash away his insults.

She did so at the cost of her young and beautiful life.

Dressed as a dead man, she sneaked into the city, used the dagger given to her by Yang Ping, and personally inserted it into Yang Ping's neck.

Before she died, Yang Ping asked her why, and she said, because you bullied me.

At a time when everyone is struggling for kingship and fame and fortune, qingping's reason is so pale and naive, but it is the most real and shocking.

Maybe someone will say it's just plain stupid. If she had listened to her brother, she wouldn't have died. However, instead of living in the whirlpool of power struggle all day as a pawn, it is better to be as hateful and bold as Qing Ping and take your own destiny into your own hands. Even if you give your life, you will have no regrets, be more enjoyable and enjoy it.

This kind of life, without intrigue, intrigue, is simply enviable.

Perhaps, things in this world are so simple. One is that if you bully me, I will pay it back. The other can be killed by a scholar, but not humiliated.

Seven days and seven nights of rain hit her beautiful face, and she will never wake up. This is the best ending of Qingping. After all, a girl as pure as crystal can't survive in a cruel power struggle.

I have to say that Guan Xiaotong's youthful breath and excellent acting skills not only make Qingping active, but also make people fall in love with this character who dares to love and hate.
