On a farm in Devonshire, England in 1914, a name A teenager named Albert and a little pony who was just born and will be called Joey in the future also performed a similar story about "domestication". When they first met, Albert had been standing outside the fence of the farm admiring Joey. In fact, Albert had already witnessed Joey’s birth before that. I guess he has been since then. Decided to "tame" Joey. Of course Joey didn’t know this, but he was also interested in the teenager outside the fence. He slowly approached the fence and stood in front of Albert. They looked at each other for about three seconds, but he didn’t have time to make any further progress. Joey’s mother urged him to go home. When we met for the second time, Albert brought a gift. He took out a red apple from his pocket and wanted to feed it to Joey, but was afraid that his recklessness would offend this little guy who is only half of the noble blood. . He called him softly, he half-pushed, and finally Joey let out a cheerful neigh, and the apple in Albert's hand was reduced by half, so he "tame" him!
What happened after that was even more legendary. When the First World War broke out, Albert and Joey staged Gone with the Wind. Love ended. Ma Dianpei was left behind. Joey grew from a pony to a real "war horse". It is worth mentioning that every time Joe Yi is facing life and death, and what really saves him is not the skills of the war horses, but the plowing skills that Albert taught him when he "tamed" him. In this disaster of war that has nothing to do with civilians, all the participants with love in their hearts have developed an inexplicable affection for Joey, the prosperous British officer, the underage German soldier, the girl whose parents died in the war, and thousands of people. Thousands of soldiers trapped in the mud. Maybe their favor is inexplicable just because we sitting in the theater can’t appreciate the desperate desire for vitality. Joey is full of vitality. He is the embodiment of vitality, even when life may come to an end. That night, he also exploded with astonishing power. He ran wildly between artillery fire and trenches full of iron bristles, like lightning! Like a hurricane! His vitality eclipsed the war machine!
Just as joy always accompanies suffering, all separations will eventually come together. So, in the last night before dawn, in a short and peaceful town after the war, Albert, who was blinded by the poison gas, and Joey, who were scarred, finally met again. If it wasn't because they had "tamed" each other, if it wasn't because of the "sign" they had agreed upon in the past (this code is so unique that no soldiers in the trenches guessed it), they might be a thousand miles away, but it was because of the original apple. , We have such a complete story.
At a dusk in November 1918, Joey stood quietly on the barren farm of Albert’s family, while Albert hugged his drunk father and beautiful and strong mother tightly. Four years, a war, across the English Channel, and the gap between life and death.
