Chapter 39: The Man in Confusion

The 80s were undoubtedly the era of the most intense collision of ideas.

Most of the people who have just stepped into the tide of reform are still in a state of confusion. The economic system, which has been closed for many years, has brought a large number of values while facing the impact of the foreign market.

The impact of Chinese and Western cultures and values has made many people confused.

Fan Wuxi followed his father to watch a movie, the bakery in the factory, for three days, the venue was full.

The title of the film is "Wrangler", and the plot is also very simple, adapted from Zhang Xianliang's novel "Spirit and Flesh", which tells the story of a herdsman who is herding horses in the northwest and suddenly receives an invitation from his long-lost father to go to the United States to inherit a huge property.

Fan Wuxian basically has no impression of this movie, and when he re-watched it this time, he also felt that it had a different taste. In the interplay of light and shadow, there is suddenly a feeling of not knowing what day is going on.

The story has three themes, the first of which emphasizes the difference between money earned by labor and money earned without work. There is a line in it that Congshan said to her son, "Money is only interesting when you earn it, and you can feel comfortable when you spend it." When I bought salt, I knew it was the money I got from selling eggs; When I bought spicy seeds, I knew that this was the money I got from harvesting rice; When I bought you a book, I knew it was money I earned from working overtimeโ€”"

The second is to emphasize the impact of social status changes on love. Cong Shan said to his husband, "When you were a rightist, in my eyes you were my man, you were still my man if you were rehabilitated, and you were still my man if you were going to the United States to live in a western-style building." โ€

The third is to emphasize that the knowledge gap cannot change love. When the female secretary of the hero's father, a beautiful woman in the United States, asked the hero how to communicate with his illiterate wife, the hero said, "People are advanced animals, and the gap brought by knowledge is very small, and experience is also a kind of knowledge." โ€

Fan Wuxian suddenly discovered that there are some things that we have realized a long time ago, but unfortunately this understanding cannot dominate in the fierce conflict. When getting something for nothing and getting a fortune and getting a fortune and having a second wife have become a social consensus, it is already wishful thinking to change it.

From the general direction, this movie is to cultivate patriotism, and from the small direction, this movie is trying to interpret the relationship between husband and wife in the new era.

Marriage is a community, you should have the mentality of both prosperity and loss, at least make a little money, hold a little power, and don't rush to change your wife. Don't always think that marriage needs a common language in the career, as long as the attitude towards life is the same. No matter how beautiful you are outside, what you restore when you return home is the most authentic self, a man and a woman.

What if she doesn't understand what you're saying? Then say something she can understand, and only say things that others can't understand, then it's called sick.

Although Fan Wuxian sneered at the naked Juche advocated in this movie, he also had to admit that in the current social background, film works can indeed play an important role in educating people's hearts and promoting the main theme.

It is not difficult for him to think that after all kinds of audio-visual products have gradually become popular, especially after the advent of the computer Internet, it will not be so easy to brainwash people, and as soon as the people's wisdom is opened, it will be difficult to close the floodgates of thinking.

"It's a new year in a few days-" On the way home, Fan Heng suddenly said with some emotion.

Fan Wuxian nodded, feeling a little strange, it stands to reason that Fan Heng doesn't like sentimental people so much, what's wrong with this today? He couldn't help but look up at his father, only to find that Fan Heng had a few slight wrinkles on his forehead.

"Have you been having trouble at work lately?" Fan Wuxian thought that the only thing that could make his father upset was work.

The Fan family's family background is not bad. In addition, his brothers and sisters have good grades, and Fan Heng and Zhang Mei have high positions, so they rarely need to ask for help, so he should have no worries to worry about. Now seeing Fan Heng sighing here, Fan Wuxian can certainly guess that he has encountered something unpleasant at work.

Seeing his son asking, Fan Heng smiled reluctantly, touched Fan Wuxian's head habitually, and then said in confusion, "Reform, how far can it go?" โ€

"Of course, how far you go." Fan Wuxian replied without thinking, and then suddenly said, "It turns out that Dad, you are worried about this?!" โ€

"What the current state-owned enterprises look like, even if you haven't seen it, you should have heard of it!" After going through all kinds of things in the past few years, Fan Heng no longer treats Fan Wuxian as an ordinary child.

"Of course I know." Fan Wuxian nodded and replied.

"And what do you think?" Fan Heng then asked.

"If you don't reform, you will only be dead." Fan Wuxian asserted without hesitation.

Fan Wuji's words are also true, and the drawbacks of the planned economy were written down in later textbooks, and there is no doubt about it. The various restrictions of state-owned enterprises have also led to low performance of production capacity, and the unitary system of economic forms has seriously deformed the supply and demand of the market. As the old saying goes, there is no business, no business, no business, no business, no rich, but unfortunately he takes it for granted, but many people disagree with it or even hold fierce resistance.

Since the rumors of the military conversion to civilian have flowed out above, the factory has been quietly discussing this matter. Most people will not see the future if they suddenly give up the familiar working environment and develop some products that they have never been exposed to, and push them in front of the behemoth monster of the market.

Pessimism has always been there, but recently it has become more intense, and even has reached the point where it affects normal production.

Fan Wuxian has heard about the situation in the factory, but hearing is false, seeing is believing, he has not experienced it personally, so he naturally doesn't know how much the current situation has eroded?

This is where Fan Heng's worries originate.
