There is a concept that is very popular in recent years, PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). It refers to a mental disorder caused by an individual encountering the death of another individual, or being threatened by death, physical damage or other injuries. The symptoms are re-experiencing the trauma.
, increased alertness and avoidance or numbness.
Hu Ge, the actor Fang Yi worked with in the early filming of "The Three Immortals", suffered from this symptom. He had been in a major car accident before, saved his life from death, and was disfigured. After recovery, he still had scars left by the repair surgery.
Because of this, Hu Ge was very sensitive for a period of time and was unwilling to take close-ups of his face. He also tried his best to cover the scars under his eye sockets.
Fortunately, this guy finally recovered psychologically and regained his confidence.
Nowadays, PTSD is sometimes confused with PTSD and becomes an epidemic. However, in fact, the origin of this disease is very serious.
Who were the initial main patients of PTSD?
Veterans returning from the battlefield.
Take Fang Yi's patient Lao Tan as an example. Lao Tan's company was once deployed as a new force in the Cheorwon Blockade. This was a miraculous battle repeatedly mentioned in the history of the Volunteer Army, which took place on May 27, 1951.
It will last for 13 days until June 10th (some say it is 14 days), which is related to the success or failure of the overall war situation and is a key battle.
At that time, after the volunteers had fought the first five battles with the enemy, they had realized the disadvantage of insufficient logistical supplies and could not continue to move south. They continued to fight the enemy's heavy equipment in large areas of low hills and plains without any terrain cover, which was the so-called
"It couldn't be chewed down," so the headquarters ordered a retreat. At the same time, the U.S. military keenly discovered the weakness of the Volunteer Army's too long front line, and commanded the troops to begin a full-scale counterattack, advancing in depth along the highway at extremely high speeds. If the Volunteer Army's logistics could be cut off in time,
, outflanking them in a roundabout way, it is very possible to make a comeback and annihilate the main force of the volunteers. If they continue to move north, it will become a fait accompli.
On the contrary, if the main force of the Volunteer Army successfully retreats to the mountainous areas, the US mechanized divisions will not be able to exert their full force in the large mountainous areas of northern Korea. They will have to look at the mountains and sigh, and accept the outcome of ruling by drawing the 38th parallel north latitude, and "cannot attack".
At this critical moment, both sides stopped at the place "Cheorwon". The U.S. military must attack with all its strength, and the volunteers must block it with all its strength. This is the strategic significance of the Cheorwon blockade.
People in the future will know that the 63rd Army resisted the successive attacks of four US divisions, killing and wounding more than 50,000 US troops, covering the retreat of the main force, and the blocking battle was finally completed successfully. But at that time, whether it was the top commander or the front-line soldiers,
No one knows what the outcome will be, and they may be defeated immediately. It is not as easy as talking about it today.
The determination and mental pressure of the soldiers are unimaginable, and they will be sweating profusely when they recall it many years later.
Last year's Golden Rooster Award for Best Documentary was awarded to the documentary film "Iron is Burning" about the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. This film is about the Cheorwon Blockade. During interviews, many surviving veterans talked about this period of history and shed tears several times.
, describing "Let me tell you about the situation on the battlefield now... You can hear the sound of domestic artillery shells, but you can't hear the sound of US artillery shells (too many), just like the wind. You can't tell them apart at all.
I can’t tell the difference either.”
"They are very smart and will look down on you to see your deployment. If you have fewer people, there will be no gaps for them to see... there is a risk of being surrounded."
"Sometimes there is no gunfire at night or during the day, and the enemy no longer attacks or fights. I wonder what this means. When I take it out, I see that there are enemies everywhere."
"I (an army photojournalist) took pictures of them (soldiers), and they were very happy. Some naughty soldiers asked, can you leave a photo for me, and I will send it home... But I
There is no way, we who took the photos are not sure whether we can go back."
Under this kind of psychological torture, and the entire company died, it is not surprising that Tan Ziwei's temperament changed drastically after returning from the battlefield. The sentence in today's textbook is about the thirteen days of life and death that he actually experienced.
In order to make a movie, Fang Yi has been exposed to a large amount of information since June. There is no need for Tan Ziwei to recall his turbulent years. So he does not plan to talk to Lao about the war, but at the end
During a meeting, I had a calm chat with Lao Tan.
Just like an old friend.
——The medical staff had already notified Tan Ziwei. When Fang Yi came in, Tan Ziwei was sitting on the hospital bed, and Fang Yi smiled:
"Great director, have you made a movie yet?"
"It's being filmed."
Tan Ziwei was shocked and couldn't help but lean forward, "Then what did you call me?"
"Talking to the old man?"
"anything else?"
"Talk about grandpa?"
"You kid should call me grandpa, it's not a loss for you."
Tan Ziwei seemed a little disappointed and nodded. But he soon regained his smile and said, "You have to shoot well, and I will try to watch your movie... Don't shoot too badly, or I will be angry."
Fang Yi: "Okay, I will arrange a movie theater for you and book a movie theater for you so that you can watch enough by yourself."
Lao Tan picked up the apple on the bedside table and said, "I still have to eat this."
Then he added: "You have to keep warm. I heard that this winter is very cold, just like decades ago... We were in poor conditions at the time and had no time to prepare, so we could only go there... You are different, you
If the conditions are better, try to wear thicker clothes and be better."
Fang Yi: "I will do as you say."
"Where did your movie go?"
"It hasn't started yet. Oh, when it starts, the actors officially start performing. It's not that time yet, but it will be soon. We'll see when winter comes."
Lao Tan took a few seconds to understand and said slowly: "No wonder."
After saying just a few words, someone came in and urged Fang Yi to leave. Fang Yi didn't stay long and stood up to say goodbye.
Before he left, Lao Tan asked: "I used to be the company commander in the seventh company. Please call me company commander."
"Company Commander."
"What's my last name?"
"Talk about the company commander."
"That's right~" Lao Tan waved his hand with satisfaction, "Let's go, you will definitely take the photo well. I am also paying attention to you, you know that if you do things properly, you won't disappoint people."
Fang Yi turned around at the door, Lao Tan was still watching him.
After all, this was the last time they met. Although the two didn't say anything, they seemed to understand each other. At this time, someone suggested that they take a photo together, "Director Fang and Mr. Fang left a photo together. I will remember it in the future."
"OK?"
Of course Fang Yi is willing.
"waste!"
Lao Tan was unwilling, and shook his head desperately. Moreover, he didn't know whether he was ill or just fooling around. He quickly couldn't remember what he wanted to say, but he couldn't say it. He lay down on the bed and asked the nurses.
They all had no choice but to comfort him, but he ignored anyone this time.
He was so excited that everyone was kicked out.
"who are you?"
"Climb away. I don't recognize you."
The nurse felt a little aggrieved. She wiped her tears and called him by his first name, saying, "Finally you saw me. This is how Tan Ziwei usually looks. He doesn't recognize anyone at all."
But photos still have to be taken. Director Fang’s inspiration came from Lao Tan’s bragging, which also came from Hospital 301. Such a legendary experience, how could it not leave any traces?
To be honest, the nurses asked for a group photo not just to talk about Ziwei, but also for themselves.
Fang Yi took a group photo with the medical staff and the leaders who arrived later, and Kaca took a photo.
After all this trouble, in the evening, Fang Yi refused to give up the dinner date and remembered that his girlfriend was still down there. As soon as his girlfriend saw him, he said: "My neck seems to be healed! Can you take a look?" She shook her head.
, trying hard to give Fang Yixiu her neck, "I will ask the doctor next time if I still need to run once a month. I don't like hospitals!"
Fang Yi was a little absent-minded and didn't think carefully about what she said. He was about to reach out to lift her neck, like a ragdoll cat.
She didn't care. She dodged Fang Yi's hand and slapped it. She turned over and over to make sure her fingers were clasped tightly: "Let's go. The rest of your time today still belongs to me."
