Chapter 39 The Lost Person
The 1980s was undoubtedly the era of the most intense thinking collision.
Most of the people who have just stepped into the tide of reform are still at a loss. The economic system, which has been closed for many years, has brought a lot of values while facing the impact of foreign markets.
The impact of Chinese and Western cultures and values has confused many people.
Fan Wubing followed his father to watch a movie. The bakery in the factory was full for three consecutive days.
The title of the film is "The Wrangler", and the plot is very simple. It is adapted from Zhang Xianliang's novel "Spirit and Flesh". The story of property, because he was reluctant to part with this side of land and water, his wife and children, and finally came back.
Fan Wubing basically had no impression of this movie, so he re-watched it this time, and he felt that it had a different flavor. In the interlacing of light and shadow, there is a sudden feeling of not knowing what day and night it is.
The story has three themes. The first one emphasizes the difference between labor for money and money for nothing. There is a line from Shan in it, which she said to her son, "Money can only be spent meaningfully if you earn it yourself, and you can spend it with peace of mind. When I bought salt, I knew it was the money I got from selling eggs; I When I buy hot peppers, I know it’s the money I got from harvesting rice; when I buy you books, I know it’s the money I get from working overtime—”
The second is to emphasize the impact of changing social status on love. Congshan said to her husband, "When you were a rightist, you were my man in my eyes, you were my man after you were rehabilitated, and you were still my man if you went to the United States to take a car and live in a mansion."
The third is to emphasize that knowledge gaps cannot change love. When the heroine's father's female secretary, a beautiful woman studying in the United States, asked the hero how to communicate with his illiterate wife, the hero said, "People are advanced animals, and the gap between knowledge is very small. A kind of knowledge."
Fan Wubing suddenly discovered that there are some things that we have been aware of a long time ago, but it is a pity that this understanding cannot dominate the fierce conflict. When getting rich for nothing and getting promoted and getting rich and having a wife and mistress have become a social consensus, it is wishful thinking to think about changing.
From a general perspective, this movie is to cultivate patriotism. From a small perspective, this movie is an attempt to interpret the relationship between husband and wife in the new era.
Marriage is a community, and we should have the mentality that we all prosper, we all prosper, and we all lose. At the very least, we should not rush to change wives when we earn a little money, a little power, and a nickname. Don't always think that marriage needs a common language in career, as long as the attitude towards life is the same. No matter how beautiful you are outside, what you return home is the most authentic self, a man and a woman.
So what if she doesn't understand what you're saying? Then say something she can understand, and only say things that others don't understand, then it is called sick.
Although Fan Wubing laughed at the naked main idea promoted in this film, he also had to admit that under the current social background, film works can indeed play an important role in educating people and promoting the main theme.
It is not difficult for him to imagine that after various audio-visual products gradually become popular, especially after the emergence of the computer and the Internet, it is not so easy to brainwash people. Once the wisdom of the people is opened, it is difficult to close the floodgate of thinking.
"It will be a new year in a few days—" Fan Heng said with some emotion on the way home.
Fan Wubing nodded, feeling a little strange, logically speaking, Fan Heng doesn't like sentimental people so much, what happened today? He couldn't help but looked up at his father, only to find that there were a few slight wrinkles on Fan Heng's forehead.
"Did you not go well at work recently?" Fan Wubing thought that the only thing that could upset his father was work.
The Fan family's family background was not bad. In addition, my brothers and sisters have good grades,
Fan Heng and Zhang Mei have high positions and rarely need to ask for help, so he should not have any worries to worry about. Seeing Fan Heng sighing and sighing here now, Fan Wubing can of course guess that he encountered something unsatisfactory at work.
Seeing his son asking questions, Fan Heng forced a smile, patted Fan Wubing's head habitually, and then said in confusion, "How far can reform go?"
"Of course it's as far as you go." Fan Wubing replied without hesitation, and then suddenly said, "So Dad, you are worrying about this matter?!"
"Even if you haven't seen what the state-owned enterprises look like now, you should have heard of it!" After experiencing various things in the past few years, Fan Heng never treated Fan Wubing as an ordinary child again.
"Of course I know something." Fan Wubing replied with a nod.
"Then what do you think?" Fan Heng asked further.
"If there is no reform, there is only a dead end." Fan Wubing asserted without hesitation.
What Fan Wubing said was true. The disadvantages of the planned economy were written in later textbooks, so there is no doubt about it. The various restrictions of state-owned enterprises have also led to low production capacity performance, and the unitary economic system has seriously deformed the supply and demand of the market. There is an old saying that there is no business without business, no business without life, and no business without wealth. Unfortunately, he takes it for granted, but many people do not agree with it and even hold strong resistance.
Ever since the rumors of military conversion to civilians leaked from above, the factory has been quietly discussing this matter. Let the workers abandon the familiar working environment at once, and turn to develop some products they have never touched before, and push them in front of the huge monster of the market, let them go, and let them go. less than foreground.
The pessimistic mood has always been there, but it has become more intense recently, and it has even reached the point where it affects normal production. Many people can't cheer up when they are working, and what they talk about all day long is nothing more than the future. Negative The atmosphere enveloped the entire plain factory.
Fan Wubing has heard about the situation in the factory, but what he hears is believing what he sees is believing. He hasn't experienced it himself, so he doesn't know how corrupt the situation has become?
Fan Heng's worries stemmed from this.
