The two went back to Tangshan to visit their mother together, and for more than 30 years, this was the first time Fang Deng returned to this land. She leaned against the window alone, looking outside, a little thoughtful, and her younger brother looked at her sister without interjecting.

Yuan Ni knew that her daughter was coming back, so she made dumplings quietly at home, and her hand pinching the dumplings couldn't stop shaking.

Hearing Xiaohe say that Fang Deng lived in Canada, the old lady sighed slowly and said a few words: "She is so far away from me."

When he got home, Fang Deng felt like he had been here before. Hearing the shouts outside the door, Yuan Ni stayed in the kitchen and did not move. Fang Deng also stood silently for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to push open the door.

Yuan Ni still didn't come out. Beckoning her daughter into the house from afar. The old lady wasn't ready. Fang Deng looked at the portraits of his father and himself hanging on the wall, and the persimmons washed on the table, and remembered his mother's anger for competing with his younger brother for persimmons thirty-two years ago......

"The tomatoes are all washed for you, Mom didn't lie to you", looking back at his elderly mother, Fang Deng was speechless.

The mother suddenly knelt down: "Let me apologize to you, where did you come from? Why didn't you give me a letter all these years? I thought you were with your father! I have been thinking about you two all day long, I have been thinking about you for 32 years, why do you ignore me, where did you go, why did you come back?"

No matter how Xiaohe and Fangda pull, Yuanni just can't get up. The old lady knelt down and finished talking about all the grievances, pains, and self-blames that had been accumulated in her heart for thirty-two years.

Fang Deng also felt guilty for his ruthlessness for so many years, knelt in front of his mother, the mother and daughter finally recognized each other, and the family hugged each other and cried.

That night, Fang Deng told his mother about his experience, and talked in detail about the 32 years that his mother had not participated in.

In the cemetery, Fang Deng presented flowers to his biological father to pay tribute to his father.

His younger brother Fang Da wanted to find someone to demolish Fang Deng's tomb, but Fang Deng said that there was no need to demolish it, no matter where he lived in the future, he would return here after he died, accompanying his father. Yuan Ni asked Fangda to listen to her sister, she understood and tolerated all her daughter's grievances.

Open the cemetery, inside is Xiao Fangdeng's Tiananmen schoolbag, as well as a neat set of textbooks, the younger brother explained that every year at the beginning of the school year, his mother will receive two textbooks, and there will be no shortage of his sister's this.

Quietly, Fang Deng squatted aside, thinking of all the wayward things he had done to punish his mother over the years, and thinking of his mother's hardships for more than 30 years, he felt distressed and guilty.

Fang Deng asked his mother how he had come over for more than 30 years, and his mother just said plainly that he was doing well, and if he had a good life, he would be even more sorry for his daughter, Fang Deng cried bitterly, and finally let go of his resentment and admitted his mistake to his mother.

Mother and daughter hugged each other affectionately.

At the end of the film, the Tangshan Municipal Government built a memorial wall for the 240,000 compatriots who died in the 1976 earthquake.

There is an old man standing next to the memorial wall, and here's what it's really about:

Song Shoushu is 65 years old.

Before his retirement, he worked in Tangshan Metallurgical Machinery Factory.

Lost his father, sister, and son in the Tangshan earthquake.

His son, Song Yongjie, was only five years old when he was killed.

The old man said, "I'll come back to see you in two days." Leave peacefully.

Those who have survived disasters have learned to move forward with their pain over time. In fact, being strong does not need to be reminded, let alone a disaster to prove. The world is reincarnated, and people with warm hearts always have a way to find their own salvation.

After watching the super long movie of more than 130 minutes with a heavy heart, Li Mu slowly stood up from his seat and applauded!

The other dozen or so spectators who wanted to leave just glanced back at Li Mu, and then continued to walk out without any reaction.

After staying for a while, Li Mu also went out with the crowd, and by the way, he took off his 3D glasses and replaced them with his own sunglasses!

It was still early before dinner time, Li Mu bought two more tickets for "Di Renjie's Heavenly Empire" and "Sword Rain", and sat in the hall waiting for the opening of the movie.

It's not yet five o'clock, and it's still some time before the end of work, but the movie theater in the center of the capital is gradually bustling with activity.

Naturally, people also noticed this "weirdo" who was wearing sunglasses indoors and eating popcorn while drinking thirsty, and from time to time someone looked at this side and whispered.

However, the person concerned is unaware of what he is doing, and his mind is now full of the plot from the previous movie.

It's not that the movie is so classic, and I've been recalling, it's just that Li Mu analyzed the first plot in his mind, and analyzed the narrative and characters in it!

A movie, whether it is a commercial film or a so-called literary film, these two things are the most important.

Even the king of sunglasses, who claims to be unscripted, is indispensable to these two things, but the story he tells has a few more turns, or it is just too messy.

And Feng Xiaogang's "Tangshan Earthquake" undoubtedly does these two things very well.

The movie is very easy to understand, it tells the different fates of Fang Daqiang, a truck driver in Tangshan in 1976, his wife Yuan Ni, and their dragon and phoenix fetal daughters Fang Da and Fang Deng's family of four before and after the earthquake.

The twenty-three seconds of the sky falling apart not only changed the fate of the family, but also caused the "journey of atonement" for the second half of her mother Yuanni's life!

This is not so much a disaster film, but actually an emotional film that depicts the family affection and family concepts of the Chinese people, and the earthquake is mostly just an introduction to attract the audience.

The first 23 seconds and 32 years of the film succinctly and powerfully convey the film's core story and practical span.

Compared with the 23-second earthquake, the 32 years after the earthquake are the part of the film that really wants to be expressed.

The main line of the movie's narrative is the "guilty" feeling of mother Yuanni's strong sense of indebtedness and guilt towards her daughter in the past 32 years!

The earthquake caused her to make a helpless choice, and he could not escape from the shadows for the rest of his life.

She rejected the opportunity to re-enter a happy married life after the earthquake, and in her opinion, only by sticking to the place where she once lost her husband and daughter could she one day regain this lost emotion.

As for the characters, Feng Xiaogang also portrayed them very well.

Fang Deng's adoptive mother, who has a strong desire to control, and Fang Deng's meticulous care by his adoptive father, was misunderstood by his adoptive mother, all of which cast a layer of incomprehensible gray over Fang Deng's true meaning of the term "mother".

Instead of going to university as his mother wanted, Fonda chose to pursue a career in business, and for him, his life was about living for his mother and sister.

and his father Fang Daqiang, who only occupies a small space, although he does not appear for a few minutes, his role is also extremely important.

Yuan Ni's debt and guilt are not only due to Fang Deng's reasons, but also related to Fang Daqiang's loss of life at a critical moment to save her.

Fang Daqiang died for her, but he failed to take good care of the two children.
