Reflections after watching Eight Hundred

Hao Ruizhao

This film tells the story of the National Revolutionary Army’s four lines of defense in Shanghai at the end of the Battle of Songhu in 1937. The warehouse is only separated from the British and American concessions by the Suzhou River. They fought alone for four days and nights, creating a rare war that was watched by the crowd. In order to build momentum, the 400 people were known as the Eight Hundred.

What impressed me the most about this movie was the two different scenes separated by a river. Half of the bustling scenes and half of the war scenes brought visual impact to people. The scene that touches me the most is that every night the soldiers in Sihang Warehouse look at the bustling scene opposite, which is the living environment they yearn for and want; the students opposite want to go to the opposite side and fight with the soldiers for this country; A cable may seem ordinary, but it is run through the body of an individual. He is the only way for the soldiers in Sihang Warehouse to contact the outside world. He is an important link that holds up the second half of the plot.

This movie is adapted from real historical events. The Battle of Songhu is the prototype of this movie. Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War on July 7, 1937, the Japanese army has accelerated its invasion of China and put forward a three-month plan. In order to combat the arrogance of the Japanese invaders, the Chinese army launched a counterattack. From a real perspective, this movie restores real historical events, allowing people to truly feel the historical situation and people's suffering living environment at that time, and cherish the good life now.

In 1938, the Battle of Songhu entered a stalemate stage. In order to cover our army's actions, regiment leader Xie Jinyuan was ordered to lead his troops to garrison the Sihang Warehouse. However, at this time, the west and north of Sihang Warehouse had been occupied by the Japanese army, and the east and south were public concessions. They were completely isolated from the unoccupied Chinese territory and became an "isolated island". Entering Sihang Warehouse, that is, Became a lone army. After the troops were stationed, Xie Jinyuan and the first battalion commander Yang Ruifu gathered the troops for a brief mobilization, explaining that they were ordered to cover the retreat of the army and hold the Sihang Warehouse - the only piece of land in Shanghai that was guarded by the Chinese army at that time. The first battalion had left the camp. A lone soldier in the army. He asked all officers and soldiers to be determined to die and fight against the warehouse to survive or die. Even the last man left must hold his position.

I think everyone who died for this war must have a very strong heart. They have made a lot of sacrifices for the prosperous life now. Without them, we would not have the good life we ??have now. Those things that hinder us from leading to a better life, we will always work hard to overcome them. Whether it is economy or culture, our China will definitely become stronger, and we will no longer be weak and powerless. , China is at the mercy of others.
