Peace comes dirty but still worth protecting - Rurouni Kenshin

Peace comes dirty but is still worth protecting -

the end of the Rurouni Kenshin to the Meiji era was the most painful transition period in Japan. Like our Qing Dynasty.
Right and wrong, justice and evil, are all blurred in the chaotic world.

Zhi Zhixiong roared wildly: the king will be defeated, the strong will survive, and the weak will perish. This is the greatest justice in the world.
In the past, with the dream of a new era in my heart, I sacrificed my life to kill the enemy and made great achievements.
But the Meiji government took him as the last enemy, and imposed hellfire.
Why is such a disgusting government worth having a country?
If it is only based on the strength of the government's military, then, with a more powerful military, is the winner.
At least, it's upright, and there aren't so many despicable things.
The anger of being betrayed and betrayed burns the soul that is difficult to calm all the time.

The actions of the Meiji government:
assassinations, conspiracies, and frantic attacks on the samurai of the old days.
Founding of a country, catering to foreign countries, servile.
When the new era arrives, the knives of the reformers will be useless, and the guns of the government will be pointed at them again. Steal the ultimate victory.
Such a bloody, ugly step-by-step establishment of "peace" and "prosperity",
do you want it or not?

China's history is not like this.
The cessation of territory in the late Qing Dynasty was a shame, the suppression of Yihequan was bloody, and the
civil war was full of despicableness and distortion.
Until the winner wins, all history evaluates merits and demerits from the perspective of "winners and losers".
Is such a government covered up with beautiful lies worth owning this country?

Every period of peace is hardly the result of "justice".
In every victory or defeat, the victor is burdened with sins that cannot be washed away.

Saitoichi, fortunately, chose to always stand on the winner's side.
Confidently uphold justice in your heart. Convinced that peace must be exchanged for killing and sacrifice.
Yes, every winner will use this sentence to strengthen the belief of himself and the people.
But with such a concept, how to calm the anger of "Zhi Zhixiong"?
Why, just because you "win" in the survival of the fittest?

Fortunately, we still have Kenshin.
Jianxin is Zhi Zhixiong's predecessor, who kills people for the sake of reform.
The names of those who were killed by him, but who had no guilt just because of their "different positions", devoured his heart all the time.
If there is a "heart", there will be the idea of ​​"redemption".
For the sake of the new era and peace of the country, killing so many people, no matter how good the reason, is a sin.
The sword is a murder weapon, and swordsmanship is a killing technique. No matter how noble the name is, it cannot change this fact.
Take the oath not to kill with a knife, and then find the best way to atone,
not by committing suicide, but by helping others.
Maintain the "peace" born out of this ugliness.

The same betrayal by the same betrayal, the same cold-eyed view of the disgusting government.
Kenshin's luck is that a group of warm people around him warmed up the
cold heart that was slaughtered.
Because of our warmth, we will want to protect the people around us from being hurt,
so no matter how dirty the peace comes,
we are still willing to maintain it.

In fact, in the era of old and new, there are a group of people who are eagerly seeking peace.
No matter which side wins or loses in the end, the original heart of defending peace is worthy of respect.
This has nothing to do with the survival of the fittest, but the most precious "sympathy" of "human beings".

These three films have wonderful action designs, as if to reproduce the peak of martial arts in Hong Kong films.
The music and pictures are very beautiful, respecting the original work and adapting it appropriately.
Everything is just right.

Another: Perhaps the most advocating Darwinism in the world is the Japanese nation.
But Japanese literature and art works are often full of profound anti-Darwin thinking.
Visible extremes will be reversed.
The Chinese people are rich in conscience and sympathy, but gradually they are full of hostility and pursue "wolf nature".
Hope, don't lose heart.

    Zuanosuke is really rubbish, what the hell is the purple line, the worst part of the series. Only the back of Ba and the final proposal are moving.
