Chapter 378: Tragedy

Because the whole Xiangjiang was in turmoil, and even some children were killed by bombs, the parents were afraid that Zheng Yi would have an accident, so they resolutely refused to let Zheng Yi go out and let him play with his sister at home. Zheng Yi was very obedient, obediently stayed at home, and played with his sister.

That night, his father Zheng Yuan and mother Ye Ling sat at the table, holding a calculator to settle accounts, and Zheng Yi and his sister ran around the room like two little madmen. At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Zheng Yi's family is in the Chinese herbal medicine business, and when they heard someone knocking on the door, they all thought that there was business coming to their door.

Zheng Yuan came out of the inner room, and as soon as he opened the roller shutter door, three people flashed in, two strong men, and one thin man. Zheng Yuan said enthusiastically: "What do the three bosses need?" The thin man replied casually: "I want to buy some good ginseng to give away, do you have any?" Zheng Yuan said yes, and when he turned around to get the ginseng, one of the strong men suddenly pulled down the roller shutter. Zheng Yuan frowned: "What are you doing when the door is closed?" As soon as Zheng Yuan's words fell, another strong man suddenly stepped forward to hug him, and then smashed him with a hammer. Zheng Yuan knew that he had encountered a gangster who was seeking money and killing him, and immediately fought with the three of them.

Ye Ling came out of the back room when she heard the news, shouting and trying to pull them away. At this moment, a strong man suddenly took out a knife from his arms and stabbed Zheng Yuan twice in the abdomen. Zheng Yuan screamed and fell to the ground. Then the thin man also took out a knife and stabbed Ye Ling twice in the heart who was crying and beating. Ye Ling didn't even scream, so she fell to the ground with a "plop".

Zheng Yi's sister, only five-year-old Duoduo, was frightened when she heard her parents' shouts and cried in the room. The gangsters outside heard that there was someone in the house and walked into the room with a murderous spirit.

When the audience saw the gangsters walking into the room where Zheng Yi and the others were, their hearts suddenly sank, and they couldn't help but worry about the fate of the two children. Some viewers even prayed in their hearts, "No, the two of them are still children!"

The audience's pleading did not have any effect, and the thin man with the knife flashed a fierce light in his eyes, and raised the knife to stab Duoduo, who was crying for his mother. After only listening to the two sounds of "Pupu", the crying of the flowers stopped abruptly.

There was a groan of pain at the scene, and almost everyone couldn't control their emotions. Polanski and Bertolucci also involuntarily looked away, unable to bear to look. It's so cruel that no human being can accept that a child is killed. Someone in the audience couldn't help but yell, "Damn the scoundrel! You're going to hell!"

The camera cut to Zheng Yi, he was completely stunned, looking at everything in front of him in a daze, trembling all over. The fierce man with the hammer in his hand didn't let him go at all, showed a hideous smile, and forced Zheng Yi over. Zheng Yi watched the strong man walking towards him in a daze, without the slightest reaction, like a wood carving.

The audience in front of the screen almost didn't dare to make a sound, as if he was angry a little bigger, he would startle the gangsters and cause him to poison Zheng Yi. They clasped their hands together and prayed in their hearts, "O merciful Lord, save this child, and they did not cease to cry out to the gangster, let him go, he is only a child!"

The camera cut to Zheng Yi's perspective, and in slow motion, I saw the fierce man holding a hammer and suddenly waving it towards the camera. After the hammer was waved, a scream sounded at the scene, and many female viewers covered their eyes, unable to bear to see this cruel scene.

Because it is a slow motion, the man's movement of swinging the hammer is very slow, and the tattoos on his hands can be clearly seen. The hammer slammed into Zheng Yi's head, and the camera shook suddenly, as if the whole world was trembling. Immediately afterward, the camera falls straight down, and falls heavily to the ground. The picture then fades into darkness.

The black screen lasted for five or six seconds, and a voice sounded, but the voice was ethereal, and I couldn't hear what was being said.

After about five seconds, the screen finally appeared, but it was extremely blurry and it was impossible to see the content of the picture. The lens is also close and far, as if the photographer is an extremely amateur rookie, resulting in the lens being unable to focus.

The lens shook back and forth several times, and finally finished focusing, and the picture was finally clear. Appearing in the camera are a man and a woman, both wearing white coats, the man is older and should be a doctor, and the woman is very young and looks like a nurse.

The nurse turned her head to look at the camera, showed a look of surprise, and exclaimed, "Dr. Zhang, he's awake!"

The doctor walked quickly to the camera and aimed his whole face at the camera, so that he could see his nose hair: "Zheng Yi, you are in the hospital now! You are seriously injured and need to be hospitalized, you don't have to worry, we will cure you." ”

The audience was immersed in the plot, and they were all happy for Zheng Yi, who escaped death, but they didn't pay much attention to this somewhat strange scene. But the directors present were all dazzled, and felt that this scene was simply ingenious. This shot is Zheng Yi's subjective lens, this shot will Zheng Yi wake up from a coma, his eyes can't focus, and the blurred state of seeing things is perfectly presented, which is simply a stroke of genius.

Polanski couldn't help but say: "This subjective shot from coma to awakening is really wonderful. This kid seems to have a special ability, and he can always shoot some seemingly ordinary scenes. ”

Bertolucci couldn't help but say: "These shots are so beautiful! Not only are the visual effects excellent, but also the inner state of the characters is perfectly presented." ”

After Zheng Yi was fully awake, he didn't see his parents, his mother and sister, and cried and shouted: "Dad, mother, sister." I want my parents, I want my sister to ......" The sad crying made many viewers wet their eyes, made some female audience tears flow, and also moved the medical staff present. A nurse bent down, hugged Zheng Yi, and comforted him softly: "Don't cry! Don't cry! Mom and Dad, Mom and Sister are seriously injured and are being treated in other hospitals." When you're well, you'll be able to meet them. ”

This white lie did not last long. One day, when Zheng Yi passed by a ward, he heard a conversation between two nurses and learned that his parents, mother and sister were dead. Zheng Yi's world collapsed, and his whole person trembled like a leaf in the wind.

The camera cuts, the nurse walks into Zheng Yi's ward with the medicine, Zheng Yi is covered with a quilt, the whole person is shrunk into a ball, and his whole body is shaking, as if he is swinging. The nurse walked up to Zheng Yi and said with concern, "Zheng Yi, what's wrong with you?"

Zheng Yi's teeth chattered, and he trembled: "I'm cold." ”

At this moment, the screen went black, and the name of the movie appeared on the screen "cold". White characters on a black background, "cold" is written with a brush, written like dragons and phoenixes, and looks like snow falling on the black earth, giving people a cold feeling.

Then the name of the main creator of the movie appeared on the screen, director: Xu Wangqiu, photography: Zhang Yimou, starring: Jiang Dawei, Wang Mingquan...... After the subtitles, the time came to 1995.

In the traditional Chinese medicine clinic, the adult Zheng Yi was telling the doctor about his fear of cold. He told the doctor that after his parents were killed, he contracted this disease and was particularly afraid of cold. Even in summer, you have to wear a coat and cover yourself with a quilt, otherwise you will catch a cold. Over the years, I have seen many doctors, but I have not been cured.

The doctor thought that Zheng Yi was qi deficiency and needed to take Chinese medicine to recuperate, so he prescribed him a few pieces of Chinese medicine.

Zheng Yi carried traditional Chinese medicine, and when he returned home, his wife Liang Zhi was busy in the kitchen. She saw Zheng Yi come back, took the Chinese medicine from him, opened one of the packets, and poured it into the medicine jar.

Zheng Yi's house is very small, only about 20 square meters, with only one bedroom, a small living room, a small kitchen and a bathroom. However, Zheng Yi and his family took out a loan from the bank and bought a spacious apartment, which has been almost renovated. At dinner, the two began to discuss moving. They all want to move to a new apartment as soon as possible, and the current house is so small that living here feels aggrieved, as if there is no hope.

The camera cuts to a truck parked under the dilapidated building, Zheng Yi and his family, and the people from the moving company are constantly moving things to the car. The sun was shining overhead, but Zheng Dao and the moving trucks were in the shadows. After the luggage and furniture were loaded into the car, Zheng Yi and the others also got into the truck. The truck started and drove out of the neighborhood. The truck pulled out of the shadows and slowly drove along the wide, golden sun-drenched road.

Polanski and the others all smiled, thinking that the scene was very interesting. Zheng Yi's community is located in a very low geographical location, and it is backlit and in shadows. These shots imply that they are at the bottom of society, with no hope in sight. When the truck left the complex, it was an uphill road, indicating that they had gotten rid of the past and were moving up. When the car drove out of the community and onto the highway, the road was full of sunshine, indicating that Zheng Yi and their future were full of hope.

The car was speeding on the highway, and Rowan's classic song "Under the Lion Rock" sounded: "There is joy in life, and it is inevitable that there are often tears." Everyone in my place, when they met at the foot of the Lion Rock, they finally laughed more than sighed. Life is inevitably rough, and it is difficult to be free from worries......"

The guests and audience were all foreigners, and they didn't know what the song "Under the Lion Rock" meant to the people of Xiangjiang, nor did they understand what Luo Wen was singing, but they felt a passionate and upward force. They understand that this is an inspirational song, and it is an encouragement to work hard. Using this song is also telling everyone that Zheng Yi's family has a bright future.

In the melodious singing of Rowan, the car drove up the hill in the bright sunlight and drove towards a beautiful high-rise building. The singing faded away, and the car stopped beside the tall building. Zheng Yi and Liang Zhi got out of the car and moved furniture into the building with the people from the moving company.

The camera switched, Zheng Yi was upstairing Liang Weaving, standing on the balcony, looking at the Lion Rock not far away, looking forward to a better future.

The camera cuts to the night, Zheng Yi and Liang Zhi are lying in bed chatting. Zheng Yi was covered with a quilt, and Liang Zhi was covered with a thin blanket. They talk about work, about houses, and about the future. They have been married for several years and have never had children. Liang Zhi was reluctant to ask for it before, because the house was too small and the environment was too poor, and she didn't want her child to suffer after birth. Now that I have a big house and a hopeful future, it's time to have children. On this night, Liang Zhi became active, and she got into Zheng Yi's quilt. The two kissed passionately and squirmed in the quilt.

What follows is a scene that reflects Zheng Yi's life and work, he meets the couple on the other side of the door, and their beautiful daughter Liu Jialing, who becomes friends with many residents, and also gets promoted in the unit, and begins to take a young policeman named Li Jie with him.

However, the reality is cruel, and the time soon came to the summer of 1996, when the financial turmoil swept through Xiangjiang and the property market began to collapse. There is no sunshine in the strict and sunny community, and the faces of the residents in the community are no longer joyful, and they are full of sadness. Liang Zhi also sighed all day long, saying that if the property market continues to fall, their family will become negative equity and will go bankrupt.

When he was at work that day, Zheng Yi received a call and came to an apartment building with Li Jie. The building manager told Zheng Yi that some people complained that their neighbors did not take out the garbage, and the stench was unbearable. The administrator came to check the garbage sorting problem and found that no one answered, and the stench was overflowing, so he called the police.

Under the leadership of the administrator, Zheng Yi and Li Jie came to the door of the household that was complained about. The stench on his face made Zheng Yi cover his mouth and nose, and Li Jie retched even more. As a veteran policeman who has been a police officer for many years, Zheng Yi realized that this was not an ordinary stench, but a foul smell emitted by a corpse. He immediately called the landlord and broke down the door.
