Watch TV: Essays on the TV series "Scarlet Sun".

Inscription

It was the moment of despair, curled up in that place where there was no daylight. In addition to being anxious, there is occasionally a faint sadness overflowing. The days passed quietly like flowing water. Nothing has progressed. The illusion of life has also turned to ashes. I don't know what the future will be, what the future will be, and I don't know. It's just to pass the time in the helplessness of day by day. What was originally full of hope gradually turned into disappointment, and then, probably just despair. What can I do, I can only go on like this.

When I had nothing to do, I used to go for a walk to the beach every day. When I was tired, I sat on the beach and watched all living things. Later, when I lived far away from the sea, I stopped going to the beach. TV shows are boring and boring, so I can only use them to kill time.

The remnant sun is like blood, in the twilight of life, the air of decay can be exhausted in just eight characters. "Hugh went to lean on the danger column, the slanting sun is on, and the smoke willow is broken." It was Xin Jiaxuan's heroic righteousness behind the low sigh, in the midst of the depression, the disappointment of the Song Dynasty's twilight and poverty also made the heart of this iron-blooded man ache faintly.

In the state of mind, the sunset symbolizes a kind of end, which may be national, national, family, or personal...... The so-called "sunset melts gold" and "flying clouds full of sky" can probably not be accompanied by depressed feelings.

The mood is not very happy, even if I watch TV, I don't want to watch the low tone. The remote control is in the hand, and the channel is constantly changing. "The Scarlet Sun" has been crossed in front of me many times, but I have never stopped to look at it. The words "blood-colored remnant sun" are uncomfortable to look at, but in that small space and dark room, it is enough to make people depressed. In addition, the TV screen is dominated by dull tones, which is not as bright as I like, and I am even more reluctant to watch it.

"It is said that people die for money, and birds die for food, but why do they find that they have nothing in the end...... It is said that it is an infatuated person...... "I can't remember which TV series is the episode, although I can't remember it all, but I like this word, and this tune, when I am not in a good mood, I will hum this only few words I remember, intentionally or unintentionally." Watching "The Scarlet Sun", I wanted to write a few sentences to express the boredom and unhappiness in my chest, and the first thing that came to mind was these words.

It is said that "love" and "death" are eternal topics in literature. I think that "love" and "wealth" should be unavoidable issues for those who were born and grew up in the world. Things in the world sometimes seem very simple, and they can be summed up in one or two words; The world is actually very complicated, and there are a few people who can see through this word or two words. Some people do not understand until they die; Some people understand, but they are about to die; Some people, if they can't see through it, will fall into it for the rest of their lives; Some people can understand it, but they can't stop the desire in their hearts, and it is in vain. The world is chaotic, and it is only when it is colorful. So, you have to keep him alive for whatever kind of person.

Everything is made by heaven, and everything is fate.

Get back to the point, and don't let gossip be heard.

Character display

The eldest lady - according to the fifth aunt, is just tricky.

By the time I started watching this play, she had already died. As for what kind of trick she is, it is unknown.

The second aunt - the Tao family calls her "Erfuba".

From this, I thought of Yingchun - the "two woods" in the Grand View Garden. Don't get me wrong, "two wood", that's really a bit "wood"; "Erfuba" is not "Fuba", it's just that she usually doesn't talk much, and if she talks, she won't be under the others.

The third aunt - the Tao family calls her "Three Monkeys", looking at her "nickname", her shrewdness should guess two or three points.

However, don't be in a hurry to make a conclusion, the fifth aunt once said in front of her that the eldest lady is tricky, and it is just tricky, but it is just the water in the cow's hoof nest, and she can't make many waves. The third aunt is too smart, but this cleverness depends on her trickery, which is miserable. Of course, it is a good thing for a person to be smart, but if this wisdom is not used on the right path, wisdom will become a powerful weapon for him to do evil, and a strong pillar for him to harm others, in the words of the Northeast people. This wisdom is "blind." In this way, it is appropriate to call this cleverness "treacherous".

Fourth Aunt - The woman who was called the "Four Fools".

In this tomb-like family, she was able not to be injured by open guns and arrows in the whirlpool of right and wrong in the open and secret battles, which was about the strength of her "stupidity". In fact, there are many things about her that make people feel that she is still alive in that grave. She is not stupid when she should be stupid, and she seems very smart when she shouldn't. The tragedy of character determines the misery of fate, and she can sigh!

Fifth Aunt - the woman named Yiping.

In fact, she is not a fifth aunt at all, she is just a seed of revenge planted in the Tao family. Full of hatred was finally dissolved by love, those "damned" people, none of them had a good death, which was originally what she expected, but this result became her eternal pain. Love and hate, human nature, good and evil, in the end, no one can tell the truth. Right or wrong, where is there a criterion for judging.

The eldest young master - According to Chinese tradition, the eldest young master should be the eldest son of the Tao family.

It's a pity, it's a pity that although his surname is Tao, he doesn't have any Tao family blood in his bones, which makes his status as the eldest young master greatly reduced. Perhaps, it is really "dragons give birth to dragons", Tao Shuli himself is not angry, he is completely a playboy, therefore, from childhood to adulthood, he can't get into the eyes of the Tao family.

Second Young Master - Tao Shuyuan.

The Tao family has five wives and three children. However, the only bit of bloodline in this Jiangnan Wang clan is that this Tao Shu is far away. The Second Young Master is a dispensable character - in my opinion, sometimes I even feel that his existence is suspicious of snakes. The poison is too deep, which is a common disease of the Chinese, and the literati are among the victims, and the poisoning is very harmful. Therefore, those guys who are engaged in literature and art insist on linking the second young master with the revolutionary party, seeing this situation, at this time, I can only smile bitterly, or even laugh at all.

Master Tao - the head of the family of the richest man in Jiangnan.

Since I watched this drama, he has been rumored to have been killed by bandits. However, he later returned to Tao Town and directly participated in the destruction of the Tao family. This man, who was about to nail his family and fill the well at every turn, finally filled the well himself.

When you pose a threat to others, others will guard against you, and when you terror their survival, they may put you to death.

After Master Tao came back, everyone in the Tao family was already in danger. Once he presides over the housework, the survival of many people will be in crisis, so no one dares to recognize him as a master, and no one wants to recognize him as a master, he can only pretend to be crazy and stupid, but hatred is brewing and fermenting in his chest. Since you don't let me live well, I won't let you live well.

There are other characters in the play, so I won't list them one by one, and I'll talk about them later.

The legendary ancient infatuation - big plum

The character of Big Plum, perhaps, you just think he is a supporting character, maybe, you feel that he is irrelevant. However, have you ever thought that it is this secondary character who has performed for us a swan song of love through the ages that "there is no one before and no one after".

Infatuation is like this, single-mindedness is like this, self-sacrifice is like this, Da Meizi can really be said to be earth-shattering and crying ghosts!

There are countless love stories in this world. is known for its poignancy, China should push "Liang Zhu" and "Peacock Flying Southeast"; The foreign country is naturally "Romeo and Juliet".

Before you ask me what is the most terrible, I will probably answer: death. After seeing many deaths and going through many vicissitudes, my answer is no longer the word "death".

It takes a lot of courage to live, to live with dignity, and to live forever, when a painful pain torments you.

Therefore, it is reasonable to use death as a judgment to define the greatness and loyalty of love, the nobility and morality of love, or the tragedy of love that causes death because of love. However, in my opinion, the weight of love is somewhat lighter just because of death.

Death, at times, is only a momentary matter, a decision of a thought. So, judging only by the length of time suffered, dying, which only takes a little time, is probably a relief; Perhaps, to live, for a long time, will be more painful. Think about it, why is there a saying that life is worse than death?

Perhaps, in the moments before stepping into the netherworld, some people will regret their rashness, but it will be too late. However, those who really survive may regret one day that they did not have a firm determination to die for love.

Many poignant loves end because of death, and they are sung because of death.

People are keen on love because of its romance, its blood boiling, and because the feeling of love is intoxicating, and no one doesn't want their love to last. Therefore, people in love often like to swear and make alliances, hoping for life and death, and looking forward to the desolation of the earth.

However, who has thought carefully that most of the love stories of the past and present have come to an abrupt end at a strong moment, making readers reminisce, making viewers sad, and making those who feel the same sigh. It's not that the author is playing tricks and fooling people. In fact, there are not many eternal things in this world, and love is no exception. If Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai don't die, let them live realistically, face oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and face world disputes, can you imagine their lives? I don't dare to think about it. To put it bluntly, love is the face mask when it debuts, it is the costume that is red and green, and real life is the face that washes away the fat powder. That's why I say that the weight of those stories of favoritism for the sake of lovers is a bit light. Although it is lighter, it is quite difficult for those who dare not face life and death, and those who are afraid of death, so it will attract people, and it will be passed on.

In Chinese society, men are often more emotionally demanding than women. It is an indisputable fact that you say that it is a traditional habit, or whether you say that it is a feudal remnant. "Men bleed without tears", "Men don't flick when they have tears" and so on are the mottos of heroes in Chinese literature. Therefore, many times, you can see heroes in Chinese literature, but you can't see the love of heroes; You can read about men's love in Chinese literature, but most of those men are not heroes. Most of China's love is "talented people with beautiful women", although there is also a saying that "beautiful women love heroes", and most of them are wishful thinking of beautiful women. Heroes are sexless, which has always been the norm or tradition in novels, operas, etc.

Therefore, what we see is mostly resentful women, and less stupid men. Chinese people have a saying "amorous woman negative man" or called "infatuated woman Bo Xinglang", stories, legends, operas, novels in the women who were born for love, died for love abound, in comparison, men are less pitiful, so everyone seems to be accustomed to women's favoritism, take it for granted.

Da Meizi - a man who is crazy about love, has performed a man's infatuation for the ages, so I call him "Eternal Love".

Why do you say this, and let me tell you slowly.

Speaking of big plums, I always feel a little embarrassed, I treat him as a male model in love, always screaming so big plums, big plums, it seems that there is a suspicion of deliberately confusing his gender. I'm really sorry, but I can't remember what his real name is except that I remember his surname Wei; Moreover, he always appeared in front of the audience as the title and image of Da Meizi throughout the play. At this time, in order to show his male identity, all of a sudden his real name and surname were used, and everyone may not know who Wei XX is, which causes a lot of trouble for reading and communication. Therefore, I used the name Da Meizi to complete the interpretation of this character.

What is Da Meizi's life experience, the TV series does not show us how he fell in love with the third wife, and it is not detailed in the play. His life experience, everything between him and the third wife, is mostly dictated through the third wife. The third wife once told her baby daughter, Tao Shuyu, about what happened between them. From this, as an audience, I learned the story of Da Meizi.

The love between Da Meizi and the third wife is also often talked about by old monks, which is a very typical Chinese tragedy: two childhood sweethearts, because the door is not right and the household is wrong; Because one is poor, and one is rich; Because of the opposition of parents; And in the end they can't be together. These are clichés, and most of the tragedies of Chinese love go bankrupt for this reason. Since people who love each other can't be together, there are those who are martyred, there are those who escape into the empty door, and there are those who have no choice but to accept their fate...... If Da Meizi and the third wife also took the usual path at the beginning, then this legendary ancient infatuation would not be seen and there was no way to find it. Fortunately, the playwright did not follow the old path, but performed a new idea, and the big plum became the topic of my discussion here.

Da Meizi was born poor, and before him, there were several brothers in the family. The parents wanted to have a daughter, but God didn't fulfill their wishes, and Da Meizi was born a man. Men are men, you can't slap the sky, right? Parents are eager for a girl, and they can only admit it if they give birth to a boy. It doesn't matter if it's a man, just raise him as a girl. What's this? Sister Feng in "Dream of Red Mansions" wasn't raised as a boy back then? Therefore, Da Meizi's gestures, words and deeds are no different from girls. Of course, the playwright has his own plot considerations, but it is not contrary to common sense to deal with it this way.

Although Da Meizi was raised as a girl, this did not affect his identification with his male identity, nor did it affect his love orientation. Therefore, in the play and reading with the third wife's childhood sweetheart, feelings naturally arise. Although some women are feminine, Da Meizi shows an authentic manly demeanor in front of the third wife. The third wife told her daughter about coming home from school, because the water rose, she rode on Da Meizi's neck to cross the river, and when Da Meizi asked her if she was tired, although it was many years ago, although her daughters were about to get married, she was still full of girlish happiness and the sweetness of being loved by men.

Time does not freeze at a certain moment because of the heroism of love, time will pass day by day according to the established law.

Da Meizi and the third wife have also reached the age of talking about marriage. The third wife was born in a landlord's family, although she was not very rich, but the third wife's father was also a more or less headsome figure, how could he marry his daughter to a poor boy. The tragedy of love is about to unfold. Maybe at that time, the third wife and Da Meizi thought of any tricks, such as elopement, martyrdom, and ...... The only thing they didn't think about was probably resigned to their fate. Eventually, they came up with a way to stay alive and stay together. That is to use Da Meizi's daughterly temperament to pretend to be a maid, and marry him to the Tao family as the dowry of the third wife. The details here may be worth scrutinizing, but the things in the world are difficult to set with formulas, and they are pushed by common sense, and there are many strange things. In addition, if you are serious, you will lose. Therefore, don't delve into it, don't get entangled, don't find faults, and don't drill the horns.

This decision back then must have been painful in Da Meizi, and it was not easy in the third wife. Da Meizi is gone, giving up not only the identity of a man, but also the dignity of a man. There is probably only one man in the world who can make such a decision for love.

There is a saying in the rising tide "Dream Shadow": "Love must be close to infatuation and true."

Therefore, emotional matters have nothing to do with the size of learning, family background, or wealth...... There are many people in the world who are dressed in fine clothes and food like pigs and dogs. Only those "idiots" use the most true feelings, and they will use true feelings. Many people say that they love each other, but they actually love themselves, and once they lose the slightest bit of their own interests, they will blame the loved one for not being sincere and not knowing their lover. How do you know that it is not true and does not know that the lover is the person himself? How many men in the world can love someone to the point of giving up their identity as a man, and to love them to give up their dignity as a man? Think about the day when Da Meizi married with the third wife, on the night of the candles in the cave room, the pain when Da Meizi made the bed for the third wife and Master Tao.

It is not uncommon in this world to make sacrifices for the sake of loved ones, but those who can endure humiliation for more than 20 years are probably rare, right? Da Meizi has been with the third wife for more than 20 years, and she has given her body and mind to the woman he loves deeply. It's easy to endure for a while, but it's hard to endure for a lifetime. What is he trying to do? He gave up everything he wanted to be a man, what else would he want? I can't explain Da Meizi's behavior other than love.

Does Da Meizi really not have the dignity of being a human being, has he really forgotten his identity as a man? No, not at all. In order to seize the handle of the eldest young master Tao Shuli, when the third wife went to ask the sixth master, she used the advantage of women's public relations, which was flattery and teasing, and the reaction of the big plum under the restaurant, maybe everyone didn't care much. But it is these subtle expressions that prove that he has not forgotten his identity as a man.

Da Meizi disguised herself as a woman to marry with the third wife, and was willing to serve the third wife as a maid, which is a strange; can persist in the role of a maid for more than 20 years, this is another strange, and even more strange is still to come.

Before the Tao family was about to collapse, there was a chaotic situation, everyone was in danger, and everyone wanted to seize the fatal flaw of others and strike a backhand blow when they were in danger. Da Meizi was seen from a distance by the fourth wife when she was standing and Xiao Jie. Didn't your third wife find the sixth master and want to kill the eldest young master? Now it's okay, the fourth wife can join forces with the eldest young master to deal with the third wife. Finally, the time has come when people may die if they are not separated. The third lady had affection and sent Da Meizi away. She stayed, first, to face the storm in front of her, and secondly, she couldn't rest assured that the Tao family's secret treasures were not at ease.

Da Meizi is gone, he did not die in the world, and he did not escape. At this time, he thought that the situation of the third wife was dangerous, and he had to face it with her. So, how can you reappear in Tao Mansion? He thought of the most terrifying method: that is, to completely castrate, so that the third wife's reputation would not be tarnished in the slightest.

In ancient times, children from poor families had no way out, and in order to survive, they could only be sent to the palace, but it was not easy to enter the palace, and they had to be stabbed before entering. This is forced by life, and there is no way to do it. Of course, there are also people who enter the palace for fame and fortune.

In martial arts novels, men have to have a unique job for their own hegemony, for the sake of dominating the rivers and lakes, and for the sake of generations to come. This unique skill is a divine skill, how can everyone practice a divine skill? If you want to do a unique job and practice divine skills, you have to kill yourself first. Therefore, there is a saying that "if you want to practice divine skills, you must first go from the palace".

Look, some men are forced to be disabled by life, some are self-harmed for fame and fortune, and they are self-harming for hegemony. Da Meizi, who self-harmed for love, should be the first person. Love and sex, spirit and flesh are born and coexist together, and loving a person can be loved until it leaves the body, which is really an eternal infatuation! Strange people through the ages!

After castration, Da Meizi returned to Tao's house. On that day, the Tao family was staging a farce of filling the well with the third wife. Da Meizi saw that the third wife was about to die, and she was powerless to return to the sky, so she crashed to death in the Tao family's compound. Born for the Si people, died for the Si people, and the death of Da Meizi is another strange.

Come to think of it, only a woman like Mrs. San, who is smart and tricky, but also charming, affectionate and righteous, can be worthy of Da Meizi's love.

After Da Meizi's death, the third wife still did not forget the secret treasures of the Tao family, and finally buried herself in the flooded secret room, which is also the sorrow of the world.

The legendary ancient infatuation - Da Meizi, the man surnamed Wei, can really sigh deeply for it!
