Piece side that, when fiction writers because English pronunciation's sake, the "double stone" and "Yellowstone" confused, eventually becoming today's "The Children of Huang Shi"
the WHERE
this double stone nor that Yellowstone
double stone Dipu Fengxian County of Shaanxi Province double stone Dipu Founded in 1961, it is located in the north of Fengxian County and is the seat of the People's Government of Fengxian County. The town has a total area of ​​235.2 square kilometers, governs 24 administrative villages, 2 community neighborhood committees, and has a total population of 26,024, accounting for one-fifth of the county's total population.
Shuangshipu Town is surrounded by mountains to the east, west, south and north. The main mountain ranges extend from east to west and extend southwest with the Jialing River as the axis. It is an intermountain basin with valleys and rivers. Rich in forest resources, it produces more than one hundred rare wild Chinese herbal medicines such as astragalus.

WHYShuang misread Huang
Art you really want to be loyal to the facts? Before the release of "Children of Huangshi", Huangshi, Hubei also specially pulled over the film premiere. However, this film has encountered the saying that "historical facts are wrong", because the story in history is not "Huangshi", but "Shuangshi" in Fengxian County, Shaanxi Province. Yesterday, the Chinese producer of the film, Beijing Qixinran Film and Television Company, also responded to reporters, saying that the location of the film is indeed different from historical facts, but the film is not a documentary.
Mr. Zhu from Beijing Qixinran Film and Television Company told reporters yesterday that this problem actually appeared when the film started, and the director had already explained it. The location of the film is indeed different from historical facts, but the film is not a documentary after all. "Children of Yellowstone" is a feature film, not a documentary that needs to be completely in line with historical facts. In response to this issue, a member of the film crew also said that they have responded to the public these days. The film crew believes that when the novel author James heard this story, he confused "Shuangshi" and "Huangshi" because of the English pronunciation. "Shuang" was written as "Huang", so "The Children of Huang Shi" was born, which finally became today's "Children of Huang Shi". Not only the place names are wrong, but the New Fourth Army Chen Hansheng played by Fa Ge is also fictitious. The film producer said, “The foreign production team does have a deviation in the understanding of Chinese geography and history, but we don’t have to be too demanding on the premise that there is basically no big discrepancy.” Shaanxi Normal University Press before the release of "Children of Huangshi" It is also the first to launch the Chinese version of the original novel of the film.
The reporter understands that in 2005, Brandon Fraser, the star of "The Mummy 3", disclosed at the Shanghai International Film Festival that the story of the British journalist George Huck will be put on the screen. The title of the film I heard was "The Children of Guangxi". At the end of 2006, the film was filmed in Gansu. The name was "Children of Yellowstone." Jonathan Les Miles, who had an excellent performance in "Mission Impossible 3", replaced Brandon Fraser and starred in George. Hok. It is understood that there were still several alternative names at that time, such as "the sea of ​​bitterness save the orphans" and "the sea of ​​bitterness". When "Children of Yellowstone" was released in Hong Kong, the film was called "Escape from War".
Mr. Zhu also told reporters that "Children of Huangshi" currently has a box office of 15 million yuan across the country. After its premiere in Huangshi City, Hubei, it has been strongly reflected in the local screenings, and now it still has a box office of 10,000 yuan every day. Income is nothing short of a miracle locally. Our reporter Tang Aiming
Who is George Hoke
With this question, the reporter came to Shuangshipu in Fengxian County to explore the 70-year history of George Hoke in life. There is a text record on page 55 of the fifteenth series of "Fengxian Literature and History Materials": "From September 1938 to the winter of 1944, Louis Ai, one of the initiators and leaders of the China Industrial Cooperation Association ("Gonghe") Li has worked here for six years. At the same time, he and his British friend George Hoke spent four unusual springs and autumns in the two-hole cave dwellings in Baijiaping near Shuangshipu, Fengxian County, and directly led Shuangshipu. The “Gung
Ho ” movement of the People’s Republic of China personally founded the Peili Polytechnic School.” In 1943, George Hok was appointed as the principal of the Peili Polytechnic School, taking care of war orphans gathered from all over China. The cultural curriculum of the Baili Polytechnic School is exactly the same as that of the national elementary schools at the time, but the management method is fundamentally different. There is no physical punishment of children, but patient persuasion. It is precisely because of this that Bohanjie, who was only 9 years old at the time, knew George Hok’s adopted son Nie Guangtao and skipped classes from the National Primary School to the Peili Polytechnic School. Every day after school, he mixed into the team of the National Primary School and went home. This persisted for more than a year, only to stop after being discovered by my parents. In the winter of 1944, Nie Guangtao suddenly found Bo Hanjie and said that they were leaving. He didn't know the reason, and told Bo Hanjie not to tell anyone.
During this period, Berhanjie and George Hok had a lot of contact. Bohanjie recalled: Every time he saw George Hok, he was reading a book, and he couldn't understand what he read. George Hok didn't write, he typed with something (an old typewriter). He speaks Chinese well, but is relatively slow, but every time he teaches him to study hard, to pursue knowledge, and to become a useful talent in the future. George Hoker often took school children to the farmer's home, let the children learn farm work, understand life, and often take pictures.
WHAT
title misleads a piece of history A
few days ago, the Hollywood blockbuster "Children of Yellowstone" is being shown nationwide, but this title has misled a piece of history. The film was originally adapted from a real story, but the story did not take place in Huangshi, Hubei, but in Shuangshipu Town, Fengxian County, Shaanxi.
In "Children of Yellowstone", the protagonist George Hok adopted the four brothers of the Nie family. At the beginning of the first month of this year, before the film was released, several reporters from Hubei found Nie Guangtao, the third of the Nie brothers. After explaining his intentions, Nie Guangtao told reporters that you made a mistake. This history did not happen in Huangshi, but It is Shuangshipu in Shaanxi. Subsequently, Lao Nie notified the Fengxian government of Shaanxi Province, hoping to correct the matter.
The film tells the story of a British journalist George who came across more than 60 orphans who survived the Japanese massacre in the late 1930s, and together with a few friends led the orphans to travel more than 1,000 kilometers to escape the war. "The Child of Yellowstone" is actually adapted from this true story, so why did it become the "Child of Yellowstone"? The introduction of the film mentions "traveling more than a thousand kilometers along China's ancient Silk Road". Anyone with common sense knows that the Silk Road starts from Chang'an, and you can't get to Huangshi, Hubei no matter how you go! The reporter learned from the producer Qi Xinran Film and Television Company that the real story happened in Shuangshipu, Fengxian County, Shaanxi Province. When the author of the novel recounted this story, he confused "Shuangshi" and "Huangshi" because of the English pronunciation, and finally became the "child of Huangshi" today.
The plot
of "Children of Yellowstone" in the late 1930s, when George Huck (Jonathan), who graduated from Oxford University, traveled to Shanghai during the Japanese war of aggression against China.
When George, who was determined to be an excellent reporter, became a witness to the Nanjing Massacre, he really understood the meaning of war. Because the photos he took were discovered by the Japanese, the Japanese wanted to use a katana to deal with him. At a critical juncture, a Communist guerrilla rescued him. "Jack Chen" (played by Zhou Yunfa) --- a communist educated in the United States and George became friends. Chen must find a British man who does not speak a word of Chinese. A place to hide. Australian liberal nurse Mitchell advised them to go to Yellowstone. And when George got there, 60 physically and mentally impaired boys were running in the orphanage. George wanted to return to the front, but Mitchell left suddenly, leaving him alone to handle affairs. A local businesswoman, Mrs. Wang (Michelle Yeoh) has become his life-saving straw.
When Mitchell and Chen returned, George won the boys' trust and love. However, the war desperately pursued them. George believed that only one chance to escape --- to the famous Silk Road, over the mountains, to the desert oasis located in Gansu Shandan ......
the WHEN
when George Hogg came Shuangshipu
Anti-Japanese War, Fengxian County of Shaanxi Shuangshipu is a large rear area, located in the throat of Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu. It is an important strategic material transfer town and is very prosperous. According to local historical records, there were a lot of people fleeing from all over the country at that time, and there were refugee sheds everywhere. In 1940, George Hok came here, first for safety, and second, to defect to his friend Louis Alley, a New Zealander, so he could take care of him.
Today, the cave dwelling where George Hoker and his friend Louis Alley live is still there. The exterior of the cave dwelling has some European styles under the construction of George Hoker and others, which is obviously different from the surrounding buildings. The wooden floors in the cave dwelling are also preserved. Intact, although all the furnishings are gone, we can still see that George Huck is a man of affection.
In 1993, to commemorate the "Gonghe" movement, the Fengxian government spent a lot of effort to collect a large amount of relevant information about George Hooke and Louis Alley, and named an alleyway in the county as Heike Lane to commemorate this A friend of the Chinese people.
When it comes to the wrong location of "Children of Huangshi", some people in Fengxian County believe that the film has already been screened and there is no way to change it, but this kind of non-rigorous attitude is unacceptable. A Fengxian leader said: “As a work of art, it is understandable to misplace it, but as a piece of history, it is irresponsible and we cannot explain it to our next generation.”
