Don't ask Dong Xi Photography Studio.

Why do you want to start with this photo? You will understand after watching the movie. In fact, I am worried that I will bring some spoilers when I write about my feelings about watching movies, so I will set up a flag before I start, try not to mention the plot, just say the feelings.

I clearly remember the centenary of Tsinghua that year. I have just entered the Tsinghua campus, and I have witnessed most scenes with Tsinghua background in the movies. At that time, we joked that we were going to visit idolize inside.

I didn't expect the film to be released now, and I have graduated.

What is human nature?

Feelings include love, affection and friendship. Reason has knowledge, understanding, thinking and decision-making. But many times, we don't know whether emotion triumphs over reason or reason triumphs over emotion. Only at the moment of decision can we find out which side the balance has fallen to, and we can't regret it after the decision.

Reason is actually an ability. When emotions start to dominate our thinking and make us out of control, reason should come out to control it. But rationality can also bring a lot of confusion.

Emotion is sometimes an impulse. When we are too rational, we need to deal with the problem emotionally, perhaps just listening to an impassioned speech. Maybe it's just anger and dissatisfaction when you see suffering; Maybe just listen to my mother's past stories, and you can find your true heart.

Secularity does test our humanity all the time, but it does not deliberately distort humanity, because the choice is always made by people themselves. It doesn't matter whether human nature is good or evil, what matters is whether it is good or evil at that moment.

There are some special ways to tell the film, such as narration and flashback. Anyway, the stories of different characters in different time and space are unfolding at the same time. I always feel a bit like writing prose. I guessed from the beginning that there must be some connection between these characters; Some hints will be given intermittently in the film, but I think the biggest connection is inheritance and spiritual inheritance. The so-called century-old tree people, a century-old inheritance.

The history of any group can not be separated from the historical background of China, and the students on the university campus are growing and pursuing in the changing times. Some people's dreams come true, some people fall into hell; Some people choose to guard, others give up friendship; Some people are not afraid of life and death, while others drag out an ignoble existence. ...

At that time, because of war, politics and environment, life was helpless and cruel, but it was dazzling and beautiful, and it was not affected.

Especially when three universities (National Peking University, National Tsinghua University and Private Nankai University) set up National Southwest Associated University in Kunming (sorry! This passage must be completely dramatic ...), I am particularly moved.

Because two years ago, I had a root-seeking trip and retraced this southward migration.

At that time, because of the war, the living conditions were very difficult, but the professors of the National The National SouthWest Associated University insisted on teaching and did not forget education; At the same time, the positive attitude towards life also inspired a large number of people at that time and spread many touching stories.

No matter how difficult it is, the professors in The National SouthWest Associated University are not depressed. They arranged various leisure sports activities to motivate teachers and students and boost morale. This scene is also presented in the film, which is impressive. I feel that although it was full of crisis, the students were happy and full.

Can you say the word "true"?

The whole movie mentions the truth, and sometimes it is easy for us to ignore the truth or even forget what the truth is.

I think there is another truth, that is, to grasp the present.

We all have regrets, but regrets have no effect. The past is over, and it can't be changed. Only now can we really master it. It is better to do a good job in front of us, grasp the most authentic content, and not let today's choice become tomorrow's regret, so that "the arrival can be expected."

As long as it is a story, there will be an ending.

So is the movie ending sad or happy?

I can only say that there are sorrows, joys and regrets, just like life is full of different styles.

Have dreams and feelings, and don't ask questions.

Finally, I want to say something beyond my feelings:

The film depicts a century-old picture and tells the story of that generation. I believe you will find the story you want and the familiar or similar figure.
