Evaluation of the film "A Garland under the Mountain"

In the early 1980s, a large number of literary works and films were produced with the theme of fighting back against Vietnam in self-defense, among which The Garland under the Mountain aroused the strongest response. First of all, this is because the work is about the lofty and great hearts of ordinary people. But the writer did not simplify and idealize social life. On the contrary, he consciously and boldly showed the complexity and even the dark side of military life in a specific social environment.

The performance of Wu Shuang and his son Zhao Mengsheng before the start of the battle is the best example. Jin Kailai's angry words that "we have to rely on the grandson of our peasants to wage war" are not unreasonable. This revelation of complexity and dark side not only enriches the content of the novel, but also embodies the sublimity of harmony and thunder.
