Arriving at Zhao Guangming's home, Zhao Guangming settled his mother down and asked the nanny to watch over her.
After returning to the living room, Li Yi and Mu Qing sat down.
"My mother is a war orphan!" Zhao Guangming's words made Li Yi and Mu Qing widen their eyes.
Zhao Guangming said: "Actually, there were many war orphans like my mother back then. My mother rarely mentioned what happened that year. I only found out about it by asking around."
Zhao Guangming sighed: "In 1942, the r army launched the May 1st raid on the anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines. The May 1st raid was the lingering haze and nightmare in the hearts of many old Red Army soldiers and old Eighth Route Army soldiers. They lost many battle-hardened people in the battle.
Other comrades-in-arms have lost their wives and children, and many of them have never found their lost relatives, and they don’t even know their whereabouts!”
"I still remember that I heard a veteran say that one of his comrades, an old soldier, had to abandon his child in order to complete the task of escorting the wounded during the May 1st raid in 1942. On his deathbed, he murmured
Muttering to himself: "Get dressed quickly, the troops are about to set off...children...children..."
An orphan of a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War. When her parents went to the front line where the fighting was fiercest, they were unfortunately killed in an ambush. She worked as a farmer in the Taihang Mountains all her life. It was not until her parents' former comrades came to find her in the 1980s that she learned that her mother had taken care of her.
His name is "Xiang Chi"...
When the Anti-Japanese War was about to win, a veteran soldier who had experienced the hard battles of the Western Route Army died in the battle leading the Anti-Japanese University students to the front line. His wife was pregnant. Another old Red Army soldier married her and took care of her all his life.
.....
This is everything about the women and children in the Eighth Route Army in that battle of national life and death. They performed their tasks in obscurity, unconditionally, endured sacrifices and sorrow, and never asked for anything from the people after victory...
"
"And my mother was also an orphan left over from that war. However, compared to others, my mother was lucky. She survived and she saw the founding of New China...
"
"As for why she went to the Great Wall, she would lose control every time she went there. It was because, in the remaining memories of my mother, that was the last place where she was with those war orphans... The rest, she
She can’t remember clearly, she just remembers that there were many people there, but only a few survived the worst."
"Children today simply cannot understand that era! It was said that war made children and women go away, but how could children and women be spared in that war?"
As Zhao Guangming spoke, he burst into tears as he spoke.
Li Yi and Mu Qing looked at the old photos collected by Zhao Guangming, and the scenes that Zhao Guangming mentioned appeared in their minds involuntarily.
His eyes couldn't help but become moist.
"Only when a nation dares to make sacrifices for its own freedom and independence can it be called "great" and respected by others. In the war more than 70 years ago, the various resisters and fighters who persisted in the occupied areas deserve the most praise.
.They have no source of weapons or medicines. Many times a soldier is injured and infected in battle, which means death. He even has to lie on the ground to conduct battle deployments due to lack of food. However, they basically have no organized prisoners.
, surrender and rebellion.
Although such an army is poorly uniformed and has various weapons and equipment, it should at least be respected by our descendants, because such armies are rare in Chinese and foreign history and can be called rare. Without such heavy sacrifices, how could we be where we are today?
Is there an opportunity for us to sit around here and "stimulate words and guide the country"?"
"It's a pity that many of us have forgotten this. That's why we have to recreate the past, so we have to make a main theme movie and a gift film. It is not just a gift to the motherland! It is also a tribute to those who have sacrificed...
...
At least we can tell all people living in peaceful times through movies that what we are today was bought by our ancestors with their lives!"
To this day, many people still disdain movies with main themes, thinking that they are brainwashing movies, but they have forgotten it.
What is shown in the movie is just the tip of the iceberg of those ancestors who shed their blood and sacrificed their lives for this country and for us today.
Shouldn’t we praise them? Why should we forget them?”
Li Yi and Mu Qing both nodded silently.
To be honest, Li Yi felt disgusted when some movie directors used the theme of filming the war with the theme that they were all victims of war.
On the way back, Li Yi played the movie he just remembered again in his mind.
This is a very special film, a film that is different from the theme films and war films of the past.
Because it was a movie that rarely looked at that war from a child's perspective.
"Looking", looking at Li Yi, I couldn't help but burst into tears again.
He wanted to make this movie, but maybe this movie was not so perfect, and even many of the pictures in it looked rough due to lack of funds.
After returning, Li Yi began to retreat.
He wants to remake that movie.
Of course, the original film did have many flaws, and he needed to make some modifications.
"War Meridian"!
This movie, even in the world in Li Yi's memory, doesn't seem to be a particularly famous movie.
It can't even be compared with "Wreaths Under the Mountain".
But Li Yi felt that this film was no worse than "Garland Under the Mountain".
Even to some extent, it is more profound.
This year is destined to be a year of theme movies, after all, it is the 70th anniversary.
As expected, several domestic film and television companies soon announced their film lists for this year, and more than 20 of them were theme films.
Of course, the theme films here are not just those with war themes, or are not limited to those with themes of war, there are also many modern films with themes.
Including all walks of life, such as firefighting, medical care, scientific researchers, etc., etc.
As for Li Yi, this time he spent more than half a month in seclusion before he came up with the first draft of "War Meridian".
After all, many of the pictures in the original version are relatively rough and even use the style of a stage play. Li Yi did not want to completely reproduce the content of the original version. After all, it is just different from the past, and the reason why the original version of "War Meridian" did this is
Because of lack of funds, I had no choice but to shoot like this.
Although it seems that as long as the content is good, the presentation method is not that important, Li Yi hopes to keep improving.
Without changing the original plot, we can do better in some scenes!
