The True Concubine and the Fake Overlord under the Curtain of the Times

I revisited "Farewell My Concubine" intermittently, and turned off the TV in a hurry. Just one more look will make my heart cool.
People still don't want to be so enlightened. There is no stone for trial, and it will only be so unreliable for a lifetime, stubborn and fate are more true, everything must be determined, and even the last imagined happiness is deprived, and there is no more fun.
Cheng Dieyi and Juxian both love Overlord deeply. But this overlord is not a real overlord, he is just an ordinary person who takes off his head.
The empty stage, there is no one to play the opponent, they sang the drama for half a lifetime and had to hurriedly call the curtain. I guess Dieyi and Juxian should be very clear in their hearts, so she wore the original wedding dress in the old wedding swaying by the candlelight. He committed suicide by hanging the beam in front of him, and he took the overlord's sword and slaughtered himself on the stage.
A stubborn person cannot tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes. A lifetime without a minute and a second is not a true lifetime, and only death can fulfill his promise. This is the established path from the beginning, and we call it destiny.
Their deaths didn't make me very sad. What made me shudder was Li Bihua's cold words, "A bitch can only be affectionate on the bed, and an actor should be righteous on stage."
It turned out that in the end, it was his own fault.
There are not many secrets to people who want to live a long life and live happily. It is just a matter of clearly buying and selling and going with the flow and following the trend. Don't go against the flow of history, and don't force too many things that are not destined. The content of the edges and corners is enough.

Of course, the movie has a deeper content.
Explore the small life of an individual under the veil of history.
I really think that China's nearly 100-year history can be used to write a classic of Western psychology. It tells us with bloody facts that the so-called human nature is just a plasticine that can be rounded or squared at any time regardless of the backlog of the environment. The existence of all individuals is inseparable from the background of history. For example, Dieyi has always felt that the change of times has nothing to do with him. No matter what country or dynasty, there are always people who listen to the opera, and no matter whether the audience is Chinese or Japanese, he is just Yu Ji on the stage. In his eyes, he can only see an overlord of Chu who is powerful and arrogant. No matter whether it is Chiang Kai-shek or Mao Zedong outside, Yu Ji only lives for Xiang Yu and dies for Xiang Yu. It was his fault that he underestimated the extent to which human nature can be stretched and twisted. The overlord not only betrayed him but also betrayed her. The humble one has no integrity at all. How could his overlord be on his knees and begging for mercy?
The Cultural Revolution can be regarded as the best test of human nature. He tells you that it is not the most absurd but only more absurd.

When the wheel of the times rolls forward, we have and lose. This dialectical truth remains unchanged from time immemorial, and it is naturally no better or worse. We have a reality that cannot be changed. We can only live under the curtain of the times and do our due diligence. So what are you still struggling with?
As for this, I suddenly realized that the so-called promise is nothing but a comfort to satisfy myself under the pretext of others. The same is true of love, if you don't become a devil, you can't live, but if you become a devil, you can only hope for a like-minded devil, but you can't ask others to accompany you to the devil, right?
One should be open-minded while maintaining a life of faith.
