Autumn's sincere words are like a canary trapped in a cage, and the brave sons and daughters recall the heroes. "Autumn winds and autumn rains bring sadness to the people", an inscription of chivalry through the ages. Ask yourself, if it were you, would you dare? ——Abandoning husband and son to join the revolution and face the test of life and death every moment! I wonder, can you do it? ——For everyone, give up your family. For the sake of longer-term and more people's happiness, give up your comfortable, warm and comfortable life! Between the affirmative and negative answers, you can know whether you are loyal or narrow-minded. Among what I saw yesterday, this was the one that shocked me the most. From them, I see courage, righteousness, and the most magnificent love in the world. Of course, I also saw their weakness and fragility. They were scholars with a passion for saving the country, and their courageous actions frightened all evil people and all evil forces. But they are scholars after all and have no power to fight, no! It's force! Because the power of their struggle can shake mountains and rivers, and their spirit can be traced to ancient and modern times. It’s no wonder that County Magistrate Li of Shanyin, who swore “not to kill Boren”, was allowed to hang himself from a beam. "Autumn wind and autumn rain are sad and sad" is left to the world, separated from the mountains and rivers, a piece of autumn colors. In this "stormy and stormy" time, can passionate people not worry when faced with a large group of ugly faces shouting "spring is bright"? Can the people not worry about the hardships faced by the storm? (To be continued) ————Yifeng Heyu
The voice behind the back——Qiu Jin and Wang Tingjun
Author: Wu Cairen
Hers Among all the photos handed down from generation to generation, the one holding a dagger is the most common. Her appearance was originally extremely dignified and beautiful, but because of the cold air between her brows and the edge of her sword, people did not dare to look at her for long.
"No expense is spared to buy a precious sword, or a mink fur can be exchanged for wine" - it is hard to imagine that a woman can write such a heroic poem. But she is no ordinary woman, she is Qiu Jin, the heroine of Jianhu Lake.
She also had a very girly name. Qiu Jin, formerly known as Qiu Guijin, also named Xuanqing. These Chinese characters are gentle and graceful, and they read as pleasantly as the names of the heroines in Qiong Yao's novels. But later, she decided "I must beat men...I want men to surrender...I want to do things that men can't do", so she changed her name to Qiu Jin and her nickname was Jingxiong.
This is an unforgettable woman. I first read her poems and her deeds in middle school textbooks. She once thought that she must have been bullied by her feudal family and men, so she rose up to resist. ???
Sometimes, the true face of history does not come from the imagination of most people. This gap is worth pondering again and again. ??
She was born into a family of officials, and has been talented and talented since she was a child. "When I was young, I went to school with my brother and sister. They were talented and intelligent, and I could recite what I read... After I got hairpins, I gradually learned about female red hair, and was especially good at embroidery." "He is well-read in reading, adept at diction, poetry and prose, and his writings are very beautiful."
"A bay of flowing water is ruthless, and does not send away sorrow and love." "The smoke on the street is light and the orioles are whispering, and the fragrance in front of the bed is warm and the swallows fly together." "The grass outside the window is like smoke, and the boudoir is lazily curled up in bed." - these , one of her early poems. It's nothing more than some sentences about warblers flying and grass growing, and love between lovers in spring. Although she has been fond of horseback riding and swordsmanship since she was a child, it can be seen from these poems that she was also sentimental and had a delicate and lingering heart as a girl. ??
At the age of marriage, Qiu Jin was betrothed by her parents to Wang Tingjun, the son of a wealthy gentry. The husband she married, who was four years younger than her, graduated from Yuelu Academy. He had a handsome appearance and a gentle personality. There is a record saying that he was: "Physically plump and fair-skinned, he has the reputation of being a handsome young man."
Although Wang Tingjun is not as talented as Qiu Jin, he is not illiterate as described in some literary works. He can be regarded as a rich man who is knowledgeable in books and etiquette. Moreover, when she first came out of the cabinet, the relationship between Qiu Jin and her husband and in-laws was relatively harmonious. In the next few years, Qiu Jin successively added a son and a daughter to the Wang family. ???
The real conflict with her husband began after she came to Beijing. In 1903, Wang Tingjun donated a capital official who was in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs through his kinship with Zeng Guofan's family. After Qiu Jin arrived in Beijing with her husband, she made many friends with progressive ideas, and her horizons gradually broadened. Coincidentally, her residence in Beijing happened to be adjacent to Wu Zhiying, a talented woman with a well-known literary name. Qiu Jin and Wu Zhiying were in love with each other. They both had a strong interest in poetry and deep attainments. Their thoughts were inclined to innovation and they yearned for all the new things that were introduced to China at that time, so they became sworn sisters. Through Wu Zhiying, Qiu Jin often saw some new books and newspapers published at that time, and his realm continued to improve. As a result, she and her conservative-minded husband Wang Tingjun, who was keen on career, gradually widened the gap.
It can be seen from some records that although Wang Tingjun was a relatively conservative man, he did not strictly restrict the words and deeds of his wife like those feudal autocratic husbands. Qiu Jin was very strict in his interactions with others. Have always been relatively free. The first major conflict between them occurred when Qiu Jin went to the theater in men's clothing on the Mid-Autumn Festival night. It is said that Wang Tingjun beat Qiu Jin for this matter. To him, he was a Beijing official after all, and many people pointed fingers at his wife's shocking behavior in front of his face and behind his back, which greatly hurt his self-esteem. And when Qiu Jin ran away in anger for a few days, he not only asked his friends to persuade her again and again, but finally came to apologize in person and took her back.
He is actually very tolerant of Qiu Jin. Perhaps because he wanted to get closer to her, he also studied foreign languages. But Qiu Jin is still dissatisfied with this husband who is not talented enough and has old ideas. ??
Qiu Jin met a Japanese woman in Beijing. She was Shigeko Hattori, the wife of Dr. Hattori, the Japanese professor at the Capital University. Qiu Jin once told her that she didn't like or was even tired of her husband's gentleness and kindness, and was dissatisfied with the "too harmonious" family atmosphere, but couldn't find a reason to resist - "I always feel uncomfortable with this kind of harmony." I feel dissatisfied and even tired. I hope my husband will be more violent and oppress me violently, so that I can muster the courage to fight against the man."
For Wang Tingjun, this is not the greatest tragedy. When someone doesn't love you, even your breathing is wrong.
Shigeko Hattori said in her memoirs that Qiu Jin repeatedly said to her: "I am determined to do the kind of things that make men stunned." Although Shigeko Hattori told her that "women are by no means inferior to men by nature." , we are all equal as human beings...Wearing men's clothes, but our bodies cannot be changed. A woman is still a woman wherever she goes. Only by living an upright and upright life without any inferiority can men be admired...You insist on defeating men. , but it shows your weak nature. "In fact, between the two sexes, there is never such a thing as "either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind." What is needed is a true sense of equality and respect. But these views are difficult for Qiu Jin to understand and do not accept. ???
Wang Tingjun was strongly opposed to Qiu Jin’s study in Japan. Some people seized on this and criticized him, calling him a lackey of the Qing court and so on. In fact, from a human perspective, Wang Tingjun was an official of the imperial court, and his wife left their young children to go to Japan. She may also participate in revolutionary activities against the Qing court. On the one hand, it is difficult to break up due to the relationship between husband and wife, and on the other hand, she is afraid of causing trouble. It would be a weird thing for him to agree to it. In order to prevent Qiu Jin from going abroad, Wang Tingjun took time to go shopping with Qiu Jin, watch theaters, and buy her favorite calligraphy and painting cultural relics, etc., but all of this could not win Qiu Jin's heart.
At the end, seeing that Qiu Jin was determined, this man was worried about his wife traveling far away, so he went to Hattori Shigeko to beg for mercy and let her be Qiu Jin's "guide" to Japan. He said to Hattori Shigeko: "If you refuse to take her, my wife will not know how painful it is. Although we have two children, I still ask you to take her!"
Some people say, if If Wang Tingjun can resolutely join the revolutionary torrent and fly side by side with his wife, he may be able to save this marriage. But if he really did this, he would not be Wang Tingjun, but Tan Sitong. It's just that in this world, warriors are always only a handful among us.
She is a dragon who wants to stir up trouble and rain, but he is just a koi carp who likes to live in a quiet corner; she is a Kunpeng who wants to soar into the sky, but he is just a quiet little tit on the branch; she is the beauty in everyone's eyes The sonorous rose, and he is just an unknown weed at the foot of the rose. Everyone can see the huge disparity between them. So someone said that he should thank Qiu Jin. If it weren't for his wife who shocked the world, he would never be famous in history.
But in fact they forgot that even if he is just a weed, he still needs the nourishment of rain and dew. Maybe what he wants is not a name in history. What he wants is just a stable family, with children around his knees, and a wife who cares for him.
He seems to have done nothing wrong. What was wrong was that he met the wrong person at the wrong time.
According to historical data: After Qiu Jin's death, Wang Tingjun suffered a serious accident. He took decoction and medicine for several months. He was overly sad and gradually lost weight... The illness lasted for two years, so he could not afford it. He was buried in Tantan at the age of thirty. The city's three capitals, Sijia, Yetang, Sishan and Hai are facing.
I have seen too many accusations against this man, but in fact, he is the one who has been teased by fate for a long time. If he hadn't married Qiu Jin, a rare chivalrous prodigy in the world, perhaps he would have been much happier in his life. Qiu Jin had been separated from him all year round and her feelings for him were close to zero. However, he refused to give up the marriage and never took any concubines. This was considered very rare at that time when it was normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. Even today, what he did for Qiu Jin back then is probably not something that ordinary men can do today.
I am not in good health, so I am a man. The heart is stronger than the man! Among Qiu Jin's handed down photos, there are many pictures of men's clothing. The softness of her appearance was in inverse proportion to the strength of her actions. If she had been a man from the beginning, perhaps, her own pain would be less. In other words, the pain left to others will be less.
She and Wang Tingjun have a son and a daughter. However, there is no trace of maternal love in any of her poems. And in the letters handed down to this day after her eastward journey to Japan, she has never mentioned a word to them. ??
According to the 1935 "Common Knowledge of the History and Geography of Xiangxiang", in the 24th year of the Republic of China, Qiu Jin returned to the Wang family in Xiangtan, Hunan. When Wang Tingjun's father saw his daughter-in-law coming home suddenly, he thought she had changed her mind and was overjoyed, so he warmly received her. Qiu Jin said that she wanted to run a school but lacked funds. In order for his son to reunite with Qiu Jin, Wang Tingjun's father gave Qiu Jin a sum of money. A few days later, Qiu Jin changed into men's clothing and took the opportunity to sneak away from Wang's house and quickly returned to Shanghai.
This is not the only time Qiu Jin went back to the Wang family to ask for money. Wang Yunlian said in the article "Remembering Aunt Qiu Jin": My family originally lived in Heye Shenchong, Xiangxiang. When I was four or five years old, I saw Aunt Qiu Jin coming to my house. She read in my mother's room every day and never left the door. She stayed in Xiangxiang for a month and then returned to Xiangtan. I heard from my mother that Aunt Qiu Jin once asked her mother-in-law for money, but her mother-in-law ignored her. Aunt Qiu Jin smashed the knife on the table and threatened to kill someone. Seeing her ferocity, her mother-in-law asked the housekeeper to give her four thousand yuan. ??
In 1907, Qiu Jin presided over the academic affairs of Datong Academy in Zhejiang, organized the restoration of the military system, and secretly planned an armed uprising. He was arrested after the incident failed. He died at Xuantingkou on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month.
She is dead. She died for the ideals and righteousness in her heart. Someone had witnessed the brutal execution scene - looking through the gaps in the crowd, there was a woman lying in the blood. The person looks very thin. ???
Except for giving birth to two children, she almost lived according to a man's lifestyle. One would think that death finally fulfilled her. But I only feel sad.
Knives and wine are actually not things that belong to women. And she wears a Japanese sword, is good at drinking, dresses in men's clothes and changes her name to Jingxiong. Perhaps her ideal is the ideal of men. And history is still history written by men. ??
After Qiu Jin died, her brother was so powerful that he did not dare to collect the body. First, it was gathered up in the shantang and hastily buried (buried at the foot of Fushan Mountain). Then it was dug out, packed and stored in "Yanjiatan Bingshe". Later, Wu Zhiying and Xu Zihua buried her by the West Lake. However, because the Qing government wanted to level the grave, her remains had to be exhumed and returned to Yanjiatan.
At this time, the Wang family stepped forward and sent people to Shaoxing in the name of their son Wang Yuande. They took the risk to bring Qiu Jin's coffin back to Shaoshan, Hunan, and buried it with Wang Tingjun. In May 1912, after Hunan and Zhejiang provinces agreed, Qiu Jin's remains were reburied beside the Xiling Bridge on the West Lake outside Hangzhou. The Hunan Women's Circle and the Allied Federation submitted a petition to the Governor's Office to allocate funds for the reconstruction of the Chen Shi Temple in Huangniyuan, Changsha City, into the Qiu Nu Martyrs' Temple. All funds were provided by the Wang family.
Qiu Jin has done harm to the Wang family. The Wang family was extremely kind to Qiu Jin.
To this day, some writers or film and television screenwriters do not hesitate to demonize Wang Tingjun and make his image extremely dirty and ugly, in order to set off the glorious image of the heroine. Although it aroused strong indignation from the Wang family and Qiu Jin's descendants, Wang Tingjun's villainous role has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Wang Tingjun will probably die with his eyes in peace even under the spring.
Wang Tingjun died shortly after Qiu Jin's death. Wang Canzhi, who lost her parents, almost died of cold and starvation when she was eight years old. Wang Yuande never wrote a word for her mother throughout her life. ???
Behind those perfect, tall figures, there are so many weak, melancholy and weeping voices. However, no one heard it.
I had the opportunity to watch the preview of "Qiu Jin", and I don't know why the appearance of Qiu Jin/Huang Yi was always lingering in the next few days. Perhaps her disguise as a man was really pretty and her expression was unforgettable. In fact, I have never been attracted to Huang Yi, but in this drama, I can see that she acted very hard and her acting is good, so she deserves some points.
The most emotional thing when watching this film is the memory of history books from the past. As a member of the history class of the College Entrance Examination, I am quite familiar with terms such as Chen Tianhua, Xu Xilin, "Warning Bell" and "Turn Back". I am even more kind to Younan and Tianyou - I couldn't help but laugh when I saw them appear on the stage, and the whole audience laughed... Although I want to laugh every time they are generous and awe-inspiring, but the fat Tianyou really has some I feel like Xu Tianhua. The way he spoke seriously with a bun face, and the way he staggered around while wearing a Chinese tunic suit with long hair swaying (probably because he was too fat) immediately reminded me of the black and white photo of Xu Tianhua in the history books of that year. The international students in Japan who opposed the collective return to China turned out to be Lu Xun and Xu Shouchang. They were not named in the film. It was only after checking the information that I found out, and I learned a lot.
The script is still solid, there seems to be no flaws, and the overall feeling is quite serious. However, there are a lot of martial arts scenes, and I easily get lost in it once the fighting begins. I have interviewed director Qiu Litao before, and I am very familiar with the films he directs, but I have not seen many of them - because they are either bloody horror or fighting, which is too heavy on taste. But I don’t agree with people saying that this film is vulgar. It may be considered vulgar, but vulgar, vulgar, and kitsch? At least the hero and heroine Qiu Jin and Xu Xilin were close but not close. They were just comrades and comrades-in-arms, and they never went further on the ambiguous road. When Qiu Jin died, even though he "waited", his resurrection still failed to arrive. When I saw her for the last time, I felt that this detail was a bit out of place.
Qiu Jin’s husband Wang Tingjun is a young man who likes flowers, birds, fish, insects, prostitution, gambling and bragging. Zheng Jiaying is also handsome. Fortunately, the film does not treat him as the opposite of Qiu Jin, and allows him to have his own inner world. When he said, "I am a young master, I was born a young master. I can't save the country by having fun, but can you save the country by writing poems?" (That's the right thing to say), I really think he is right, Lian Qiujin I was a little confused by what he said - so I embarked on the road of armed salvation.
Although Wang Tingjun is not a hero and has no great ambitions, he is still a decent husband. He tolerates his wife's dancing with swords and guns. He ran away from home once or twice and accepted her every time she came back. He didn't even complain (only once, Qiu). Jin men dressed up to attend a high-profile public event, and he lost his temper). It's just that Qiu Jin has to abandon Xiaojia for everyone. In fact, he is quite pitiful.
There are two other characters in the film, who were Qiu Jin’s comrades in Japan. The boy is rich and has a family, and he pursues girls, but is stopped by other comrades. When they meet again many years later, Qiu Jin discovers this girl. She still married him as his concubine. She was very angry and refused to pay attention to her. The girl said pitifully: "When my father passed away, he really helped me a lot. I came here just to meet you." My thoughts were the same as above: Qiu Jin herself is of course upright, upright, independent, tenacious and unyielding , but what’s wrong with this girl who left the revolutionary path? When her father passed away, why did these impassioned classmates and comrades come to help? If so, she wouldn't have let that boy take advantage of her; if so, she wouldn't have been surprised to see her get married many years later. They probably didn't even know she had been in trouble. If heroes say that they can't care about such trivial matters and must save the country first to prevent more of this kind of thing from happening, I think this matter has little to do with the times and the current situation, right? This girl just wants someone to treat her well. At least now she can easily spend money to support Qiu Jin's newspaper.
I really have no ambition. If I had been born in the past, even if I was lucky enough not to be a traitor, I would definitely not be a hero. However, in such a film that praises Qiu Jin positively, the little characters who are on different fronts from her are not three-dimensional and full, but they are still flesh and blood, which is always good.
Qiu Litao is well aware that biopics of this type are very easy to preach, especially since Qiu Jin is responsible for the two important tasks of "the rise of women's rights" and "the spark of revolution", so it is inevitable to have a lot of high-pitched lines. His strategy is not to avoid it at all, but to compress it to the minimum, and at the same time maintain the intimacy between the theme and the narrative. He not only retains the emphasis and rendering of the finishing touch of "autumn wind and autumn rain make people sad", but also tries to use colloquial sentences to express it. It explains Qiu Jin's ambitions and deals with it at one level. From the question of "why men can do it but women can't" to the later revolutionary righteousness, it is a step-by-step psychological process that avoids boring and at the same time, the characters stand up. . Of course, the biggest prerequisite for satisfying the audience's entertainment is to shape all revolutionary patriots into martial arts masters and gunners.
This subject could have been treated as a completely serious narrative, ending with Qiu Jin's death, but in this case, the climax of the emotion would be too saturated: Xu Xilin's uprising, huge fight, arrest and death, tight Then there is the battle and sacrifice of Qiu Jin for resisting arrest. The continuous large number of action scenes will make people aesthetically tired, and it is difficult for the official struggle between the sympathetic faction and the execution faction to be fully unfolded after Qiu Jin was arrested. The current approach is to put Qiu Jin's battle at the beginning, and Xu Xilin's battle as the climax. After that, in order to echo Qiu Jin's role as the first protagonist, a section of members of the Restoration Society performing a Buster Keaton-style clever escape is added. , balanced and full in martial arts. The two-track approach throughout the film is a wise choice, and Qiu Litao does not make rigid memories or flashbacks. He uses emotions to connect the two clues. Each scene after the arrest corresponds to the emotion of the past in retrospect. , you and I and you in each other advance each other, resulting in a smooth narrative, which is actually reminiscent of the ingenuity of "Memento".
Regardless of the protagonists and supporting actors in the film, almost all of them are outstanding. Qiu Litao can do this because he does not waste any character's contribution to the plot. At first glance, Qiu Jin's husband seems to be a rich man who is greedy for pleasure. Usually, the audience expects him to be a green leaf used to set off Qiu Jin's noble character, and does not expect him to have any positive influence. However, it is his heartfelt complaints. , the crazy act of tearing up poems became Qiu Jin's motivation to study in Japan. Such character treatment is rare in ordinary action movies (I hope Director Qiu is not a fan of "Step by Step"). The doctor's wife does not appear much, but without her presence, most of Qiu Jin's "feminist" ambitions cannot be expressed reasonably (she can't always argue with men or discuss this with Xu Xilin). Even the group of government-sponsored overseas students at the memorial service after Chen Tianhua jumped off the cliff seemed to be unreasonable, but they also had a subtle impact on Qiu Jin's psychology, preventing her from becoming a worthless passerby.
The fighting in the film presents an effect of "a single fight is exciting, but a group fight is dull". Huang Yi and Xiong Xinxin's first-ever indoor fight is a model of action planning in a narrow space. With the help of tightrope and fast editing, the smashing of objects is extremely visually impactful. The action design uses force, and the Jackie Chan style is faced with a burning document. Xiao Chongming's competition completely erased Huang Yi's identity as a non-trainer, resulting in a thrilling match between Xiong Xinxin and Huang Yi. The climactic fight between Du Yuhang and Xiong Xinxin was a wide open space. They could freely use various large weapons and perform flying kicks. Both of them are practitioners, so compared to the former, they were able to move around the house much more. The head-to-head momentum has serious traces of Wi-Fi, especially the crowd flying around after the bombardment. Du Yuhang, perhaps because he was a martial arts champion, still has some traces of routines, which needs to be compensated by the camera language.
In comparison, one-dozen and multiple-dozen can only be considered unsatisfactory. In the opening scene, Qiu Jin slashed and killed one enemy in the courtyard, almost like a housewife chopping vegetables, and there was no hint of a master's style. The subsequent scene of whipping officers and soldiers in the market was slightly better, but it didn't hold up in terms of the plot (even if the husband donated his official position, how could the wife escape unharmed after beating the officers and soldiers and also beating foreigners?). It was for the sake of harmonizing the proportions of literary drama and martial arts. And joined. The scene of the conflict between the Japanese students and the military police was the worst edited, and it does not play a big role in advancing the plot. However, this scene has its own significance: How can we make a historical film without exaggerating the national plot and beating up a few Japanese? The most heroic scene was the fight between Xu Xilin and the soldiers after he was injured. It captured the tragedy of the hero's end, but unfortunately it was too short, and the ending of the villain's triumph was always frustrating.
Qiu Litao's style of shooting historical films is very realistic. The previous "Ip Man Prequel" was also a historical film, but when describing the growth of a great master, there were always exaggerated gimmicks, such as meeting an expert on the road and Japan. "Senior" spy and other plots, but "Qiu Jin" completely abandoned these. Apart from exaggerated martial arts, there are almost no surreal touches. The scenes of Xu Xilin being tied to the ground and being tortured while covered in blood, Qiu Jin's heart-rending screams as she was being tortured, and the horrific close-up of her fingers could not have been so shocking, but since history is being restored, it would be missing without these. A little bit of flavor (by the way, I still don’t recommend parents to take children who are too young to watch it), the scene where the revolutionary martyrs Liu Daoyi and Chen Fen were outnumbered and sacrificed, if you use a freeze-frame photo similar to the one at the end of "The Gunslinger and the Wisdom Star" to switch to Luo Ying falling. Holding Hands on the Ground may be more romantic, but omitting the tragic shot of being shot will greatly reduce the appeal of a historical film.
In addition, it takes courage to make a historical biopic, especially when today’s audiences are all historical experts and have sharp eyes. They must walk on thin ice to avoid accidentally making a joke. At this point, Qiu Litao's ability to see the truth in details is really quite good, even to the point of being too serious. In the film, a Japanese student studying abroad called taking photos "photographs", which caused a slight smile in the theater. However, if you consider the age and age of the story, The origin of this imported word, and its usage here seem extremely appropriate. There are many details like this. Audiences who like to be more serious about movies will definitely gain a lot of fun. However, the reality of history may not necessarily match the reality of art. Among audiences who are difficult to reconcile, this approach can easily lead to polarization of movie-watching experience.
