Good hell lost

"The ghosts woke up in the warm flames of the lamp oil, and from the brilliance of the devil, they saw the little hell flower, pale and pitiful, bewitched by a big deal, suddenly remembered the world, and meditated for many years, and at the same time addressed the world with a voice of anti-prison Absolute scream
...
"When the ghosts utter another scream against prison, they have become traitors to mankind. They have been punished for eternal destruction and moved into the center of the sword forest.
——"Weeds·The Lost Good Hell"

In 2008, the American drama "Legend of the Seeker" produced by ABC was adapted from the novel "the sword of truth". At first, I didn't love it, and even thought it was naive. Nothing more than an ordinary child, how unexpectedly became a "truth seeker" the Seeker took on the burden of saving the world. Around him, naturally there must be an old wizard who leads the way, a beautiful lover, and the rival tyrant Darken Rahl. At the end of the first season, it was natural that the explorers went through difficulties and obstacles, calling on the people to rise up to overthrow the tyranny and kill Darken Rahl.

When I returned to the screen in the second season, it became more interesting for me to watch: the world did not sing and dance because of the end of the tyrant's rule. On the contrary, it lost its powerful dominance. Well, well, the cage has become an irregular jungle. The soul of the tyrant came to the underground world and became the minion of the guardian of the lord of the underworld. The explorer accidentally broke the barrier between hell and the world, the guardians were so powerful, the evil spirits took the opportunity to wreak havoc on the world, and the tyrant was also ready to move, trying to resurrect the dynasty with the corpse. The explorer had to embark on the journey again, looking for the "stone of tears" that could seal hell. This journey is more difficult and dangerous than before, especially when we have to bear the doubts and accusations of our followers: We have made so many sacrifices, why has the happiness you promised us not been realized?
I don't think this is a contradiction deliberately created for the purpose of continuously shooting the film, but I am glad that it has become a heavy meaning from a superficial magical story.

The longing of the girls is like the ending of a fairy tale, "The prince and the princess will live happily together forever", and they will understand when they grow up: marriage is the beginning of the real test. The people moaning under totalitarianism fantasize that democracy is a panacea. In fact, the Persimmon Oil Party politician and warlord who replaced the tyrant may be more nasty than the tyrant, and the tyranny may come back at any time with a corpse. Free love only gives you the right to choose, and does not guarantee the happiness of marriage. Democracy will not end all suffering in an instant.

The former Surin disintegrated, Yeltsin's shock therapy caused the country's economy to collapse, Russia's national power was once weak, and many people thought of the benefits of the former Soviet Union. With the end of Saddam’s rule, Iraq is still under fire. Why don’t people miss the time when people can live their lives by "secretly guarding oneself"? Taiwan has achieved party change, but the democratically elected leader has finally been proved to be a big corruption criminal. The society has fallen into a blue-green division. The parliament has fisted and fisted and fought all the way through military action. The TV and newspapers are constantly drooling. The chaos has made many people discouraged...I I believe that even after the end of the Kim family in North Korea, there will still be people fondly remembering the era of such "pure and flawless" thinking.

However, no one wants to experience Stalin's suppression of counter-revolutionary again, no one wants to be shot off by the Republican Guard at will, no one wants to return to the white terror of Chiang Ching-kuo, and no one wants to watch their loved ones starve to death. Want bread, or freedom? This is a fake question. Without freedom, bread may be deprived at any time.

So I suddenly remembered the obscure "The Good Lost Hell" in Mr. Lu Xun's "Wild Grass". Isn’t that the case in China back then? The collapse of the five-thousand-year monarchy did not bring about heaven, but a deeper sinking. How distressed the explorers are: Is there no value in sacrifice? Is struggle just fantasy? Is it all just to deceive others? So Mr. Lu Xun said, John Mueller said: Despotism makes people ridicule. And he didn't know that the republic silenced people.

But if we don't move forward resolutely, we still have braids so far, three bows and nine knocks.

Fear loses a good hell, that will be the reason hell will always exist.

So the mission of the explorer will never end. Even if the stone of tears is found, even if the underworld is sealed, the happiness of the world must always be rebuilt with great effort.

    The one-to-ten male protagonist was slapped and slapped by an ordinary woman. The murderous female protagonist who walked through the forest alone at night fell into the cave. She was so scared that she yelled and revealed logical confusion everywhere. She watched two episodes decisively. give up.
