Chapter 39: The Lost Person
The 1980s were undoubtedly the era when the collision of thinking was the most intense.
Most of the people who have just stepped into the tide of reform are still in confusion. The economic system that has been closed for many years has also brought a lot of values while facing the impact of foreign markets.
The impact of Chinese and Western cultures and values has made many people confused.
Fan Wubing also watched a movie with his father. The factory was booked for three consecutive days and it was full.
The title of the film is "The Wrangler", and the plot is also very simple. It is adapted from Zhang Xianliang's novel "Spirit and Meat". It tells the story of a herder who was herding horse in the northwest who suddenly received an invitation from his father who had been separated for many years to go to the United States to inherit huge property. Because he was reluctant to leave the land and wife and children, he finally came back.
Fan Wubing basically had no impression of this movie. When he watched it again, he felt that it had a different flavor. With the interweaving light and shadow, he suddenly felt like he didn't know what tonight.
There are three themes in the story. The first one emphasizes the difference between labor and money obtained without work. There is a line from Congshan in it, saying to her son, "Money is only interesting and spendable, and it is comfortable to spend. When I bought salt, I knew it was the money I got from selling eggs; when I bought spicy food, I knew it was the money I got from cutting rice; when I bought you a notebook, I knew it was the money I got from working overtime—"
The second one is to emphasize the impact of social status changes on love. Congshan said to his husband, "When you were a rightist, in my eyes, you were my man, are you still me, are you still me, are you going to the United States to take a car and live in a foreign building?"
The third is to emphasize that knowledge gap cannot change love. When the male protagonist's father's female secretary, a beautiful woman studying in the United States asked the male protagonist how to communicate with his illiterate wife, the male protagonist said, "Humans are advanced animals, and the gap brought by knowledge is very small, and experience is also a kind of knowledge."
Fan Wubing suddenly discovered that we had actually realized something a long time ago, but unfortunately this understanding cannot dominate the fierce conflict. When it becomes a social consensus to get promoted and get rich and have a mistress after getting a wife and having a mistress for nothing, it is already a delusion to change it again.
From a general perspective, this movie is to cultivate patriotism, and from a small perspective, this movie is to try to interpret the relationship between husband and wife in the new era.
Marriage is a community, and you should have the mentality of prospering and losing. At least you can make some money and gain some money and have little power to make some nicknames and don’t rush to change your wife. Don’t always think that marriage requires a common language in your career. As long as you have the same attitude towards life. No matter how glorious you are outside, you will restore your true self when you return home, a man and a woman.
So what if she doesn't understand what you say? Then just say something she can understand. Only by saying things that others don't understand is called sick.
Although Fan Wubing sneered at the naked subjective thoughts promoted in this movie, he had to admit that under the current social context, 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 as various audio-visual products gradually became popular, especially after the emergence of computers and Internet, it is not so easy to brainwash people. Once people's wisdom is opened, it is difficult to close the gate of thinking.
"In a few days, it will be a new year--" On the way home, Fan Heng suddenly said with some emotion.
Fan Wubing nodded, feeling a little strange. Logically speaking, 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, but found that there were a few slight wrinkles on Fan Heng's forehead.
"Have you done a job badly recently?" Fan Wubing thought that the only thing that annoyed my father was the only thing at work.
The Fan family's family's family is not bad at all. In addition, the grades of brothers and sisters are good, and Fan Heng and Zhang Mei have high positions, so they rarely need to ask for help, so he should have no worries or worries. Now seeing Fan Heng sighing here, Fan Wubing can certainly guess that he encountered something unhappy at work.
Seeing his son asking, Fan Heng smiled reluctantly, touched Fan Wubing's head habitually, and then said in confusion, "How far can reform go?"
"Of course, you go as far as you go." Fan Wubing replied without thinking, and then suddenly said, "It turns out that you are upset about this, Dad, are you worried about this?"
"Even if you have never seen a state-owned enterprise, you should have heard of it!" After experiencing various things over the past few years, Fan Heng has never regarded Fan Wubing as an ordinary child again.
"Of course I know something." Fan Wubing nodded and replied.
"What do you think?" Fan Heng continued.
"If you don't reform, you will have a dead end." Fan Wubing asserted without hesitation.
Fan Wubing's words are true. The disadvantages of the planned economy were written in later textbooks, and there is no doubt. The various restrictions of state-owned enterprises also led to low capacity performance and a single economic system, which made the market supply and demand seriously deformed. There was an old saying that there was no business, no business, and no business was not rich. Unfortunately, he took it for granted, but many people disagreed with it or even held a fierce resistance.
Since the rumors of military-to-civilian transformation leaked out, the factory has been quietly discussing this matter. It has prompted the workers to give up their familiar working environment and instead develop some products they have never been exposed to before, and push them to the huge monster of the market, letting them go, and leaving them alone from now on, and most people will not see the prospect.
Pessimism has always been there, but it has become stronger recently, and it has even reached a situation that affects normal production. Many people cannot be energetic when working. What they are talking about all day is nothing more than the future future and the negative atmosphere that covers the entire plain factory.
Fan Wubing has heard of some of the situation in the factory, but hearing is false and seeing is true. He has not experienced it personally. Naturally, he does not know how deteriorated the situation is now?
