A.

1. The distinction between strong and weak is relative
2. Evil comes from instinct, but large-scale violence is always institutional
3. Common sense of geography cooperates with the power that unites the world
4. This power has a strong relationship with the occurrence of the story, but it is semi-invisible (Why do Turks participate in the war in Europe? Why do Westerners set up charities in the Middle East?)
5. Questions that can always be asked of God: Why are there such sufferings ? If a person’s beliefs cannot overcome or ignore this part, he has not been tested

. B.

Under the framework of the modern nation-state, the minority ethnic group and the state have a certain tension that is difficult to reconcile: One People, One Nation. The border people and the empire that had already established a tacit understanding must forge a new relationship of rights and obligations. They are expected to share the same responsibilities to the country with the dominant ethnic group—that is, uniform citizens. Regardless of religion or military service, "loyalty" has a new test standard. These frontier people seem to be increasingly suspicious, from being loyal and willing to obey the imperial order "infidels" to being out-of-fit and difficult to graft into the country.

    Unfamiliar with the history shown in the film, this should be a boring film but saw the end in one go. The first half is about how the protagonist gets out of trouble, and the second half is about how the protagonist finds a girl. The music for the film is great, and there are a few scenes that are really shocking.
