Love and righteousness are rivers and lakes.

"If you live in a temple, you will worry about the people, and if you live in the rivers and lakes, you will worry about the king." When Fan Zhongyan's famous sentence "The Story of Yueyang Tower" was recited by modern people, it seemed that a fairy came to the world on a flying crane and wrote two words in the temple on earth: "Jianghu".

Jianghu is a fairy, but it sounds a little nostalgic. What is Jianghu? Is it the legend of knight errant? Is it fighting and killing? Is it a duel between men? Or a war between women?

"Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes!" Director Jia's "Jianghu Children" is being shown in major theaters all over the country, and the box office has exceeded 50 million yuan (this is the most popular film directed by Jia so far). Director Jia cannot hide his excitement. He publishes the box office situation of Jianghu on today's headline official number every day, and actively interacts with fans.

Jia blew the news himself. On the day of the release, he sat alone on an ordinary street corner in Japan, wearing black clothes and trousers and playing with his mobile phone. He seems to have no confidence to face the "rivers and lakes" in China.

When did director Jia begin to be keen on domestic box office? (Jia's movies are basically fragrant outside the wall, and the distribution and box office basically rely on foreign channels. When an authoritative media in China interviewed Jia Dao exclusively, he expressed his understanding of Jianghu.

Jianghu is a story that happened in my hometown Fenyang County when I was a child. I grew up watching Hong Kong movies in a smoky video hall, and I became famous as a boss ... I used to be the king of break dancing and danced very well. "

Children of the Jianghu tells the story of a small town in China, with the time span from 198 1 to 20 18. Jia used his usual telephoto and close-up to focus on the changes of small people and big events in history.

For example, in the film, we can see the group images of immigrants when the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River is about to be flooded. The young man with long hair on the Millennium stage in small and medium-sized counties imitates the Hong Kong star and sings the song "How much love can come back", which is said to have been shot by accident in that year and used skillfully in the film.

The region of the film is from Shanxi to Xinjiang, from Datong to Chongqing, across the east and west of China. It is a film that reflects the children of China Jianghu with great span and latitude. The Jianghu atmosphere created by "Jianghu Children" is more real and full of tension than Hong Kong and Taiwan films. ?

Where there are rivers and lakes, there should be bosses. Can there be rivers and lakes without a boss? The famous Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai's early martial arts film "Ashes of Time" has beautiful pictures and profound implications.

In the movie, Leslie Cheung plays the carefree swordsman Ouyang Feng, and has an emotional entanglement with Maggie Cheung's former lover (Maggie Cheung in the picture at that time was simply beautiful). The lover finally got angry and married the swordsman's brother. Ouyang Feng, a silly boy, pushed his beloved woman to his brother's side. Now, people born after 80 s and 90 s probably can't understand it.

As a swordsman, a swordsman and a chivalrous man, it's killing you to raise and drop your sword and draw your sword to seal your throat. Which is more important, being affectionate between children and swords? Is it a woman's love or a man's knife? In Jianghu, just because you are the boss, others will let you go.

Boss, this is a life-and-death contest. The status of the boss was established in the fighting in the rivers and lakes, and it is no joke. The children of Jianghu expressed in Time Has Changed should not only dare to fight and kill, but also dare to love and hate. Don't pretend to be so deep. Nobody owes anyone.

When you miss a meadow, you may lose the whole meadow. The sword does not recognize people, the Jianghu recognizes people, and the sword also recognizes the sword. No matter how sharp the swordsman's sword is, no matter how powerful the swordsman's knife is, he can't resist the emotion and true meaning lost from his heart. Being a boss sometimes depends not on knives and guns, but on women and relationships.

Let's talk about the popular Hong Kong movie "Chasing the Dragon" released last year. Donnie Yen's eldest brother (named "Lame Hao", the prototype of Wu Xihao) has been fighting and killing his brothers all his life. He has great respect for Andy Lau, the police chief. But in order to kill the British police chief (turning his son into a vegetable), he had to ignore Andy Lau's persuasion and kill the policeman.

As a result, Donnie Yen, the boss, personally shot the foreign police chief in front of Andy Lau, revenged his son, threw away his pistol and was caught by the police. Sheriff Andy Lau was forced to flee abroad. When he finally got out of prison after 30 years in prison, his boss was in the terminal stage of cancer (early release).

In the last scene of the film, the boss stood on the moving boat in Xiangjiang River, talked to the sheriff with his mobile phone, and said the last sentence before he died: "Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is in the sky"! A generation of heroes in Hong Kong ended.

The meaning of "chasing dragons" in the film shows the blood of men. If a big brother wants to gain an unshakable position in the Jianghu, it is definitely not something he can do casually. Being the boss must never give in to strong (evil) forces, let alone bend your knees, otherwise you will lose face. From then on, brothers can't live without Jianghu.

It's just that the film repeatedly reminds the audience that many things the boss does are forced and forced to go to Liangshan. The boss is also an ordinary person, and he also wants to live a clean life and enjoy family happiness, but "life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is in the sky."

Does the boss really like killing and setting fires? Does the boss like Jianghu so much? Don't you know that "you have to pay back when you get out?" People in the Jianghu don't care about this. Jianghu is about real knives and guns, and people do it. They are annoying enough. They are more beautiful than anyone else. Who is the eldest brother?

The appearance of "Jianghu" on the movie screen is always inseparable from fighting and killing. Jianghu is the gathering place of human nature, and the exile place of the love for which life is crazy.

What Jia discussed in "Jianghu Children" is a person's Jianghu, which is his own Jianghu. It seems that it has little to do with other people's Jianghu. To what extent can the Jianghu built by one person be recognized by the audience, just like how many brothers a boss can have.

There needs to be a basic value orientation, a full collision of characters and feelings, and a presentation of the real thing that will not fade no matter how many times it changes.

"I am not a Jianghu person." When Liao Fan's eldest brother was in tears when he faced his girlfriend (played by Zhao Tao) who had been in prison for five years, he just timidly suppressed such a sentence.

The girlfriend then asked, "What about me? Am I still not your girlfriend? " Eldest brother replied, "What do you say?" When the eldest brother finally reached out to shake his girlfriend's right hand emotionally, the girlfriend said, "I didn't shoot the right hand, I shot the left hand, you forgot."

At the end of the film, Big Brother found his ex-girlfriend in a wheelchair, paralyzed by alcoholism, cerebral hemorrhage and stroke. Faced with such a seemingly heartless eldest brother, his ex-girlfriend Zhao Tao abandoned the past and accepted him.

The eldest brother in a wheelchair finally asked, "Why don't you ask my girlfriend?" Girlfriend pushes a wheelchair to answer Big Brother: "It's nothing to do with me!" Eldest brother then asked, "Do you hate me?" My girlfriend said, "I have no heart for you, so I don't hate you." "Don't all rivers and lakes speak one word?" This is the Jianghu children in the eyes of director Jia.

Jia Dao said that the original title of the film is not Jianghu children, but money and love. In front of money and love, in front of the so-called rivers and lakes, do you love money more or value love more?

The rivers and lakes in director Jia's mind and the rivers and lakes presented on the movie screen at least have the simplest love and kindness of human nature. In the real world, complex emotions and characters' fates are far more complicated and confusing than those presented on the movie screen.

Everyone has a river and lake in his heart, and this river and lake should be the river and lake after he has experienced and seen the storms of life. Some people are in Jianghu but don't know what Jianghu is. Some people are not in the Jianghu, but they look very Jianghu everywhere. The Jianghu has become a big laundry list, as if everything in the past can be put in.

Jianghu is the highest place in the temple. You can still see clearly human sufferings, hate evil, and stand up for people's kindness, morality and dignity.

Jianghu is still a place far away from Jianghu, where you can still care about the country and people, think and solve problems like a king. Although you are often powerless, you should at least say what you can and can't do.

Jianghu is when everything is calm, and all emotions fall off like fallen leaves in autumn. You can still see the world as it really is, and you can criticize and thank nature, heaven and earth and your mother.

Just be sure to know that there is love and righteousness in the rivers and lakes, which is the true nature of children's heroes. "heartless, can you still call people?" "Can you be a man without saying a word?" Loyalty to the liver and bravery, love is stronger than gold.

Friendship has been two knives for men to kill pigs since ancient times. In Jianghu, don't think that men only fight and kill, and men fight and kill half for status and money, and half for women and dignity. Life or death, friendship is priceless, especially in Jianghu.

Yesterday, I was shocked to hear that singer Cang Tianshuo died of cancer at the age of 54. Media comment: "The most Jianghu figure in China's music scene has passed away." Cang Tianshuo was sentenced to five years' imprisonment by the court for affray, and Cang Tianshuo was remembered by the people of China for Friends. ?

Cang Tianshuo's songs are written with affection and righteousness, and sung with affection and righteousness. A man must be affectionate and righteous. When he died, Cang Tianshuo's ex-girlfriend Qin Si Grille wrote an affectionate eulogy for him. "If we meet in the afterlife, I want to see you healthy and proud."

Be a sentient and righteous person, value affection and righteousness, and have human feelings. This smell can resist all the cold and dissolve all the freezing.

Love and righteousness are the roots that both men and women in the Jianghu can't give up. Otherwise, there are only dead people in rivers and lakes, and rivers and lakes are like cemeteries. Only ghosts wander in the gloomy land and eat people. When they hear that people have been eaten, they will make a horrible and miserable sound, echoing in the dark sky.

Bring the Jianghu perspective back to reality. These days, the news that Yuqi Zhang tore her husband with his bare hands is flying all over the sky, and the Jianghu is boiling and crazy. All kinds of news seem to be mostly in support of Yuqi Zhang.

"The husbands I married are scum and love rat, but I still have a good life." Yuqi Zhang's contemporary female images are pleasing to the eye because they dare to love and hate. Such boldness seems to give himself and a group of female stars who are in the same boat a bad breath, and the people who eat melons cheer for it.

The question follows, in the face of such a grumpy woman as Yuqi Zhang, will there be any men who like her in the future? There is no doubt that there will be. When a man leaves, there will always be another man approaching him without hesitation.

Just Yuqi Zhang, I'm afraid I don't even know where the man who can love him, love her and take care of her all his life will be in the future. Can you still stand her "bad temper"?

But on the other hand, Yuqi Zhang really likes to be grumpy? Don't do things that hurt people and yourself. Some people kindly advise each other that this is not Jianghu, but real life.

What is real life? Real life is rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea, which is sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, with various tastes and all kinds of situations can happen. This is the background of life.

If life is really as vigorous as it is shown on the movie screen, and it is a river and lake fight, will life have a good ending if you risk your life to get ahead?

China people believe in the causal cycle, that good is rewarded with good, and evil with evil, not that the time has not come. If you plant good causes, you will get good results, and if you plant bad results, you will taste bad luck.

Is this a reality? Jianghu is a legend and a reality. Jianghu can imagine, but it's not just imagination. Scenes of drama staged in reality have repeatedly warned the world that the rivers and lakes in reality are far more cruel, heartless and impossible to look straight at than the rivers and lakes in imagination.

Finally, we can boldly imagine that there is a monk standing on the height of the temple, floating a blue ribbon from the height of the temple, slowly entering the world, entering the suffering crowd, putting scrolls on it, relieving pain and sadness, and tirelessly and infinitely telling people where the root cause of pain lies. How to alleviate pain and get happiness?

When people touched the feet of the prostrating monks to show their sincere acceptance, they burst into tears, and such rain drowned all the evils in the world. The monk sat under the bodhi tree, sitting quietly and smiling. Over time, he became a Buddha. Before the Buddha, the world is happy. Even for a moment, it is happiness.

And rivers and lakes are always blown away by wind and rain. Bodhisattva's heart saved the suffering soul and the deep water, but it could not save the fate of the rivers and lakes. Only when the rivers and lakes disappear and the past sinks to the bottom of the lake can it never be mentioned again.

It is better to get along well. Let's break up and forget about each other. Rivers and lakes can be history in books, stories on the screen, and affection for children that happens again and again in reality.

But please put down the sword and shadow, the so-called hatred and separation, and the last dignity and courage of men and women. Jianghu doesn't believe in tears. Jianghu doesn't believe in fighting and killing. Jianghu doesn't believe that dead love can be revived.

Jianghu is a secular Dojo that even the Buddha can't wake up. Only people who don't know how far the rivers and lakes are will embark on the road of drifting away. Jianghu is doomed to be a road of no return.

At the end of Jianghu Road, perhaps only one figure can be left. Whether you have Tu Longdao with a blue moon on your shoulder or Tu Longdao's sword stained with royal blood on your waist, whether you have sharp eyes and long hair, or the shadow of your walking like the wind, everything will eventually disappear. "It's like eating a bird and throwing it into the forest, and finally ending up in a vast white land, which is very clean."

This is the fate of the world and the fate of the rivers and lakes. ...
