What is the significance of the close-up of many characters interacting with ants in the Awakening Age?

Bian Xiao: I found many small details when I was watching The Awakening Age. For example, there are many scenes where characters interact with insects, especially ants. Is there any special significance? Or is the director trying to express something? Let us use Bian Xiao's works to explain it to you.

I. Insect Close-up Bian Xiao liked watching this kind of chronological drama since he was a child, because he liked the development history of China since he was a child. Especially when I watched the drama The Awakening Age, I was deeply moved, which can be said to be shocking. In the first episode of TV series, Chen Yannian put the ants in the bowl under the plants in the corner, and the director gave this shot a close-up. Then when Li Dazhao was about to hand out leaflets, he observed ants crawling into his hand. This shot also gives a close-up. For example, when Chen Duxiu was in prison, he picked up the mantis on the corner plant and carefully observed its appearance. Shots like these are all close-ups of insects.

Second, the meaning of ants represents ants, ants, as the name implies, are the main ants. I have to say that the scriptwriter's brain hole is really big. Although ants are small, they are United. When encountering difficulties, ants will crowd together to form a team. This is the spirit of ants, and I believe the close-up given in the play is to satirize the social darkness at that time. Ants are the smallest and lowest insects. It highlighted the living conditions of the people at the bottom of society at that time. How dark and miserable the society was then. The people are weak and poor.

Third, the close-up of * * * factional ants, to put it bluntly, is a side foil of * * * productism. Metaphorically, it is implied that ants represent the poorest farmers at the bottom. But it was these peasants at the bottom who overthrew the reactionaries and established People's Republic of China (PRC). It profoundly reveals the historical inevitability of combining Marxism with the workers' movement in China to establish the * * * production party in China. ?
