The play The Snowstorm is Coming is a depiction of this era. How should we evaluate it?

If you fight the dragon for too long, you will become a dragon yourself; If you stare at the abyss for too long, the abyss will stare back at you. -Nietzsche

I think this sentence can best sum up the words of the leading actor in this film. For an illusory dream, he lost three lives and his own life. However, is this all his fault? No, it's just a nobody in the background of the times, a very mediocre nobody, and most of them are dancing the national standard in the stadium of light. I just can't tell.

Sometimes when you look back on history, you will feel small. In every era, a few people will be remembered decades, hundreds or even thousands of years later, but more people will be drowned in the tide of the times. I didn't catch up with the laid-off workers in the 1990s, but my parents were among them. What impressed me the most was that the originally comfortable life became uncertain because of the laid-off of parents. Until now, they are envious of the system, because it represents an identity and something they all want.

Guowei Yu, the protagonist in The Coming Blizzard, is such a person. He said he would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, but he wanted to enter the public security bureau system. There is no way, so he wants to solve the case. There was a serial murder. He just wanted to solve the case, transferred to the public security bureau, and then entered the system. He did his best to solve the case. At first, he released the bait. While chasing in the factory, his apprentice was electrocuted, but he still didn't give up and pursued the criminal who left a shoe. He thought of a way to lure criminals with a dancer swallow, but this thing was discovered by the swallow, so the swallow committed suicide. At this time, Guowei Yu was completely worried. He caught the criminal he thought, took him to the battlefield and killed him.

This film never shows us the real criminals. Until the end, he was still wearing a raincoat. What we can see is the change in Guowei Yu. If what he hid in his heart at first is still called ideal, then in the end, he didn't control his ideal, which is called devouring his desire.

The most difficult thing to grasp in life is actually the degree! No matter how you treat people or things, degree is a nervous thing. Parents to children, children to parents, girlfriends to boyfriends, boyfriends to girlfriends, wives to husbands, husbands to wives ... Among them, if you exceed or retreat a little, it will become stale and produce contradictions.

It's not right to think about it If life is too cold, this person is not so persistent, but too persistent and paranoid. Just like the snowstorm in the movie, speaking of which, it has never been here, but the weather has never been so good, just like Guowei Yu. One step forward is the arrival of blizzard, and the next step is the clear sky in Wan Li. Just as the film shows the times. If there is no reform, the factory will close down. If there is reform, there may be opportunities, but many people will be sacrificed. Which is more important? But what can I say? The wheel of history is rolling forward and everything is arranged.

"Blizzard is coming" shows this tangled state very clearly, which makes people feel embarrassed after reading it. The criminal who runs through the film ended the incident in a fatalistic way, but because of him, three lives and one person's life have changed greatly. But for the whole era, does his change have any effect? Of course not. He is only one of the laid-off workers in this torrent of history.
