/kloc-in the winter of 0/975, reporter Fu Bin was transferred back to the newspaper office from the "cadre school". Faced with a newspaper full of lies, he was very distressed. Once, Fu Bin was ordered to attend the interview of "Professor Examination" held by medical college. He witnessed an old professor with white hair being fooled by the examiner, who mistakenly put his anus in his mouth. In the laughter and scolding of the examiners, Fu Bin's heart was shocked. How to write such a report? He went to consult his old teacher, an old reporter. The teacher showed his wife Lu Xun's argument, and the conclusion was difficult! Fu Bin, at a loss, pinned his hopes on Secretary Song of the Municipal Party Committee, trying to tell him the truth and change the reporting caliber. Unexpectedly, all this was arranged by Secretary Song.

Soon, Secretary Song was seriously injured in a car accident, but appointed an old professor who failed the exam to operate on him. The operation was a complete success, but Secretary Song not only did not change the original arrangement, but demanded that Fu Bin's report be published immediately. Fu Bin realized the truth, but his wife prevented him from telling the truth, which triggered a family storm. Fu Bin burned the written article and decided to take a "dishonest" attitude and pretend to be ill to avoid writing a report. Later, in the reception room of Secretary Song, Fu Bin saw a letter from the blocked people, which was full of their grievances. Secretary Song suddenly appeared in front of him, but he never wavered and shouted "You are bound to collapse". Fu Bin was finally put on the prison car, but it was not difficult for him.

Reporter Fu Bin walked down the street with his wife and daughter, thinking about those miserable days in the winter of 1975 ... At that time, after working in cadre schools for several years, Fu Bin was transferred back to the newspaper as a reporter to replace a colleague who was arrested for telling the truth.

On the first day of work, old classmate reporter Li warned him to be careful. One day, when Fu Bin came home from work, she found that her daughter had broken the vase. Not only did she refuse to admit her mistake, but she also lied and told her the story of "Wolf coming".

He is distressed to think that the newspaper has become a huge machine for making lies! Secretary Song arranged for him and reporter Li to go to the medical school to interview Professor Gao. In the examination room, he witnessed how a first-class professor was fooled by the examiner. According to the report article dictated by Secretary Song, he didn't want to write it. He went to consult his teacher, the old reporter who was almost driven into mental illness.

The teacher asked his wife to read Mr. Lu Xun's article entitled "Debate" to answer her students: "Debate is difficult!

"Fu Bin returned home, saw his wife, and remembered their first love-a beautiful and frank life in the past, which made him get up the courage to find Secretary Song, reflect the real situation of Professor Gao, and asked him not to let him write deceptive articles. But he didn't know that in order to climb up, Secretary Song directed Professor Gao's farce. What shocked Fu Bin even more was that Secretary Song had an accident and asked the old professor to operate on him, but he still insisted on criticizing the old professor after the operation. Fu Bin decided to write down what he saw. When his wife advised him, he couldn't help hitting his wife.

Fu Bin's first thought was to lie and pretend to be sick. The unknown doctor understood him and wrote him a sick note. But things were seen through by the editor-in-chief and secretary Song, forcing him to give up the doctor's name. Fu Bin couldn't bear it, and finally said something hidden in his heart for a long time: "If the party doesn't recognize you and the people don't recognize you, you will inevitably collapse." So he was robbed and arrested.

When he was put on the prison car, his wife said, "You must believe me ... Although this life has forced me to change a little, what is deep in my heart has not changed!" " The daughter put her arms around his neck and whispered, "Dad, I was wrong. I learned nothing from the lying shepherd boy. I broke the vase. "

Fu Bin believes that in the near future, you can live honestly as before!

film review

There is no dramatic plot with ups and downs, and there is no heroic image of justice. Instead, fantasy, dream and reality are intertwined in a unique way, which shows the protagonist's hesitation and distress between lies and conscience to the fullest, reproduces the reality of black and white inversion in the turbulent period, and analyzes Secretary Song and others from the perspective of people's moral concepts.

With his unique prose style, director Yang Yanjin calmly describes the process of the change of the protagonist's inner thoughts and feelings as an ordinary reporter, so that the film does not make people feel too heavy and thought-provoking in form and content.

At the same time, the film uses the methods of ascending, descending, stopping shooting, multi-screen shooting, sound and picture segmentation and so on. , enriched and strengthened the expressive force of the content.

Bonus; prize

This film won the Ministry of Culture 1979 Excellent Film Award and Youth Excellent Creation Award (Ying Fukang).
