best love and protection
A romance film starring Zhou Dongyu, Dou Xiao, etc., which was released in mainland China on September 16, 2010. The film is adapted from Amy's novel of the same name. It tells the story of the acquaintance and love between Jingqiu and the third child, and the final separation between heaven and man. On August 18, 2018, it was selected as one of China's top ten outstanding love movies in the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up.
This is a true story that happened during the "Cultural Revolution". In the early 1970s, in response to Chairman Mao’s call for “opening doors to run schools”, schools across the country sent teachers and students to the countryside to study…
Jingqiu is a high school student who was selected by the school to participate in the editing of new textbooks and wanted to go to a place called Xiping Village. And the hawthorn tree full of "red" flowers is the first stop on their way. This is an important reference content for the compilation of new textbooks, and it is also a harbinger of the love between Jingqiu and the third child. Jingqiu was assigned to Captain Liu's house. When the aunt asked Huanhuan to take Jingqiu to call the third child home for dinner, their fate began from then on...
Under the dense hawthorn tree,
blowing the hair of young spinners and blacksmiths.
The dense hawthorn tree is
full of white flowers
. Our hawthorn tree, why is it sad?
The flower language of hawthorn is the only love and protection.
The songs that appear from time to time in the film seem to imply the tragedy of this love.
Jingqiu is a shy and innocent girl, and the third child is a cheerful and enthusiastic boy. When they met for the first time, this big boy seemed to walk into the girl's heart at once, and he couldn't let go.
A light bulb, a pen, a bag of candy, take the time to meet a few times. Love in that era was so pure and simple...
Later, Jingqiu mistakenly thought that the third child did not have a new love, and she was suddenly disheartened.
Jingqiu went back to school and found a job. When Changfang came to see her, she realized that the third child didn't have a partner, and she was secretly happy again.
They later reconciled.
From then on, the third child often worked overtime in the second team in exchange for taking turns to meet Jingqiu. This kind of quiet dating lasted until the next summer.
Jingqiu's feet were burned, and he was always worried. When he saw the injured Jingqiu, tears flowed down involuntarily...
Jingqiu's father and mother were labeled as rightists, her mother was in school for labor reform, and her father was dispatched to a remote place. The burden of raising three children was left on her mother. For this reason, her mother hoped that Jingqiu would perform well and strive to stay school. So he was very strict with Jingqiu, and didn't want her to make mistakes. This adds barriers to the love between them.
The mother hoped that they would not meet for the time being, and the third child agreed.
The third child's love for Jingqiu is loyal, and he would rather die than go back on his word.
"One year, 25 years, and a lifetime, I will wait for you" is the promise he is willing to make for Jingqiu.
Sure enough, the third child did not come back for a long time, until one day, Jingqiu heard that the third child was hospitalized. It is said to be leukemia.
There are many foreshadowings for the third child’s illness in the film:
the third child fell asleep tired after swimming in the river for a while
After scratching his arm, he went to the hospital to bandage it. The nurse said that his blood clotting mechanism was poor
Workers said that someone in the second team died of leukemia because of the inexplicable ore, and the third child took the ore to the province for testing.
Many details foreshadowed the later illness of the third child.
"If you live, I will live, and if you die, I will really die" is the third child's most affectionate confession to Jingqiu. No matter where I end up, I will always be with you. All their good fortune is reserved for meeting, and staying together becomes a luxury.
Unlike most previous happy endings, it is an unspeakable tragedy.
He was so reluctant to part with Jing Qiu, but he also didn't want Jing Qiu to see him tortured by illness.
The third child disappeared just like that, and Jingqiu had no news of him, nor did he contact him again...
When they meet again, they are about to be separated forever.
This film tells the story unhurriedly. It doesn't have much passionate love, but it narrates "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" quietly.
In that era, love at first sight, a frown and a smile meant a lifetime. The purest love, the most heart-wrenching words, let us cry for them. Their love has nothing to do with romance, it just comes from the heart.
Mu Xin said: In the past, the sun became slower, cars, horses, and mail were all slow, and there was only enough to love one person in a lifetime.
When you really love someone, you will be her all your life. As long as she is fine, I am fine.
The beginning of the story happened to be caught off guard
At the end of the story, two flowers bloom in each sky
He left after all, he didn't want to let go of Jingqiu, but he gave Jingqiu the best love and protection.
