From A Dream of Red Mansions to see the female roles that can not be ignored in Donkey getting Water

according to the play, the second film "Donkey gets Water" based on Happy Mahua, the plot makes people feel very familiar, and I often hear about it. Four teachers who are unwilling to be miserable and want to provide good educational conditions for children in mountain areas, in order to win more funding from the Bureau of Education, made up a teacher who "donkeys get water." When another international friend wanted to subsidize educators, the Bureau of Education sent people around the pockets of foreigners to make plans and look for candidates. In connection with the later plot, I can't help thinking of "the Taste of Apple" directed by Wan Ren in "the son's Big Doll." the fathers of several poor children were unfortunately hit by the American general's car, and the Americans planned to make up for their mistakes and subsidize them with a large amount of money. I also took a child to study in the United States, and sorrow turned into a happy thing. It's just different from this story, where American funding is deducted by various departments of the Bureau of Education by 2/3. It's interesting to think about this difference.

like many films under the guise of comedy, Donkey gets Water "tricks" the entertaining audience into the cinema, and then consciously extends and decomposes many tragic factors of comedy. There are great joys and sorrows, and after a smile, you have to pay it back in sorrow. But in the end, all the audience saw was a cloud, and the previous joy was mercilessly crushed. "Donkey gets Water" is such a kind of movie, laughing in the first paragraph and crying sadly later.

the film is obviously divided into two parts in the development of the plot, with the female teacher Yiman's amazing "sleeping clothes" as the boundary, centering on two special agents' visits to the school. The secret of the interests calculated by the ombudsman for the first time is hidden, only absurd and ironic comedy elements. The teachers are surrounded by a series of dirty jokes, which can scratch the armpits of the audience, and the effect is natural. Although the second half of the paragraph still has a lot to laugh at in terms of language and plot, the kindness of some people is used to fall into a dangerous situation, the ugly faces of the characters emerge, and they are forced to promote a bigger scam. what can still laugh is the audience who floats outside the story. This is the amazing thing about "Donkey gets Water". If the latter half of the audience tries to read out the metaphor of the film, they will no longer laugh, but sink a little bit.

the film was deliberately set in 1942, when the Kuomintang was in power, which, of course, was to avoid the difficulties of censorship and to plan the tainted image of teachers and corrupt officials to the old world. prepare for the desperate Sun Jia to go to the "New World" in Yan'an. Aware of this, this story refers not only to the exposure of the ugliness of human nature, the gluttony of interests, but not to education, but to the micro-evolution of Chinese history.

not long ago, because I was reading Li Jie's comment "Hologram of History and Culture: on A Dream of Red Mansions", I found that what "A Dream of Red Mansions" emphasizes and calls for is the inner intention of "Donkey gets Water". When it is true, it is also true, and in the end, the white earth is really clean. Female teacher Yiman's suicide at the end, Sun Jia's uncertain and well-known future. Like the decline of the Grand View Garden and the death and injury of the servant girl, it symbolizes that history and culture will no longer have a creative stop. The spirit of the leopard is no longer, and even the fierce leopard is hunted by sheep.

Li Jie sees from A Dream of Red Mansions that the relationship between men and women actually contains all the information of human culture and history. For example, China's twenty-four histories are full of power struggles, buzzing and stealing, but the cultural atmosphere is declining day by day, which may be attributed to the lack of love and outstanding women in history. Chinese history is written by muddy men. Since Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall in the hope that the rivers and mountains are boundless, the way of Confucius and Mencius has become a moral stipulation, and there is no more dexterity and progress in cultural history. Even the bold and unrestrained literati like Li Bai and Xin Qiji are just vulgar people who have been confined to cultural prisons for thousands of years. The lack of aesthetic sense of women in history has caused China to remain unchanged for thousands of years. So from the two female characters of "Donkey gets Water", especially the female teacher Yiman, as well as the copy image influenced by her, we can try to find out the implication and expectation of "Donkey getting Water" to history.

We see that the female teacher Yiman is always smiling in the movies. No matter what she faces, she always says funny things and looks naive. The first half of the lens around Yiman is bright and sunny. For example, she sang a song with garlic and echoed this song after she committed suicide, and we realized the beautiful yearning hidden in it, from the mischief of "Kunming does not Snow" to "I am in Shanghai, where is Zhou Xuan's share"? the pride of dancing freely with the headmaster under the fluorescent lamp, the close-up of cheongsam and high heels, and the beauty and loveliness of Yiman are truly projected in people's hearts.

and Yiman's advanced concept of sex is a kind of disregard for the morality imposed by men on women, and she has no burden in her heart. Li Huan also analyzes and compares Jia Baoyu's ambiguous same-sex relationship with promiscuity in A Dream of Red Mansions. Readers can tell which is healthy. So will the audience smell any uncomfortable and rude content from Yiman's initiative and bold physiological requirements, and the uncertain relationship with teacher Pei Kuishan? After the square-faced Pei Kuishan made a moral exhortation to Yiman, Yiman replied awkwardly: "I am such a person", can not stand the constraints of various rules and regulations. So her union with the blacksmith, on the one hand, has the meaning of giving her life for the sake of deception and interests, and more is that she volunteered to pursue physical pleasure, without the meaning of compulsion and forbearance. However, I am afraid that many of her fellow men will accept her open ideas, not to mention that she is an exemplary teacher.

then an interesting situation appeared. a gray-faced, uneducated blacksmith expressed his love in Mongolian ballads that were defamiliarized by the official language. with a lock of hair sent to him, he really felt the poetry of life, which is the creative meaning of women to men. As in A Dream of Red Mansions, in contrast to the dirty world of men outside the Daguan Garden, Baoyu was finally refined into a piece of uncut jade under the influence of Daiyu's tears and servant girls. The coppersmith who was about to leave felt the principal's principle of "teaching without class". With the help of the extremely important instruction of the principal's daughter Sun Jia, he quickly changed his head.Noodles, there is a nutritional connotation in the stomach. But no one thought that later, the face of the blacksmith became the image of a pig in the Animal Farm, and it became cruel and shameless high above, and it really turned into an enjoyable animal.

because of the special agent's surprise visit, the affair between Yiman and the blacksmith was exposed, and the blacksmith's shrew wife came to make trouble. Yiman had an argument with the shrew, when the blacksmith suddenly straightened up and dared to yell at the shrew, like a hero full of warmth to save Yiman. Yiman was afraid that he would spoil the headmaster's affairs, so he had no choice but to call the blacksmith an animal. If Yiman turned the blacksmith into a person, then at the moment she strangled the blacksmith. Without the guidance of female creativity, the blacksmith stopped working hard on people spiritually, leaving only the human skin with a good appearance, and the heart was soon eaten by maggots and turned into a monster. The lock of hair fell to the ground, and the simplicity of the blacksmith was gone.

then we see the ruthlessness of the powerful blacksmith, his cruel revenge on Yiman, a pair of scissors destroyed Yiman's spirit of "flowers" (Yiman is always picking flowers). The blacksmith will never again realize that the woman he is destroying, and the man who shaped him, has given him the power to destroy a man. Yiman ruined herself in this way, but after scolding the blacksmith, she crouched down in shame and apologized to the blacksmith. What destroys them is the whole scam, the bottomless greed of human nature, and the corroded weakness of human beings.

and the transformation of Pei Kuishan with distinct interests is also easy to understand. On the hillside, when the guilty headmaster talked about Yiman, Pei Kuishan only thought about how to divide the money. Although he was greedy for money, he said that what was ahead was the loss of the spirit of the inner goddess, his moral concept could not accept Yiman's debauchery, and the connivance of the headmaster and Zhou Tienan ignited the evil thoughts hidden in his heart. He was petrified when he went angrily and sadly to save the stumbling Yiman, but only dared to stand on the windowsill and did not move forward. Two months later, Pei Kuishan, dressed in mink velvet, only despised Yiman, whom he once admired. When cursing Yiman, only he believed from the bottom of his heart that Yiman was a bitch and prostitute and began to collude with the villains everywhere. Women are completely suppressed here, and beard eyebrows sing a big show.

in contrast to another male character, Zhou Tienan, from the beginning to the end, he has a hot temper and open-mouthed character. Almost exposed the principal's scam in front of the commissioner several times, and stamped his teeth on the villain. When the blacksmith wanted to cut Yiman's hair and threatened Sun Jia to be the bride, he showed admirable character. This is a real person, he and Yiman similar respect, admiration for right and wrong, stubborn Sun Jia, it should be said that it is these two women that keep him authentic. But when a bullet was fired from the head, even if there was still Sun Jia's intransigence in the deterrent of death, his view of good and evil was instantly emptied. He turned to Sun Jia to play the wife of the blacksmith, saying that Sun Jia was childish and "just a child." In front of children's innocence, it is set off against the ugly adult world, but this story is not only mixed with the adult world.

as Li Gou said: creation goes directly into history without aesthetic transition, which makes history seem tyrannical and cruel. In such a historical process, the tragedy of women's sacrifice has become inevitable.

Yiman was cut "Yin Yang head" and picked her beloved cauliflower in the field half crazy. Pei Kuishan turned into a running dog of an interest organization, and Zhou Tienan, who was quietly changed his mind, spoke in a tone like the Red Guards. When Yiman was about to be assaulted by soldiers, he just bared his teeth and grinned to one side. Only the headmaster could see all this in perspective, but he still had to destroy Yiman and persuade her to be a deaf-mute who did not care about the world, so as not to be hurt by others. His repeated compromises are also shameful. The haircut Yiman is like seeing through the world of mortals, her suicide is not the realm of life, but the end of history. The fall of Zhou Tienan made Sun Jia, whose eyes were wide open, desperate. The headmaster personally gave his expressionless daughter to a blacksmith with only an evil face as a bride.

several gunshots in the movie are getting more and more frightening. The blacksmith's shrew wife broke into the wedding hall and pressed the gun to expose the whole scam, which made people feel even more absurd. The story goes out of control, and only the gun can solve it. Sun Jia said to the camera, "Let bygones be bygones, and it will only get worse." At first it sounded harshly moralistic, and for a moment there was a chill in the back. Before long, it was still fighting against each other, or the same old game. The water quality is less and less, and the mud property is more and more. This kind of political culture and philosophy can no longer bear to take a closer look at it.

in the story, the school is located in a place where you have to walk 20 miles to get water. People and donkeys need water to live, and water is so important. If "donkey" can refer to several male teacher characters and blacksmiths in the film, and female characters refer to "water", these donkeys are lucky to have been given water, but the water is abandoned in the end.
