Mistakes, Disasters and Courage

When I have a child, I will really realize how difficult it is for a child to admit that he has done something wrong! Among them, there are too many links and problems in psychology and sociology. More problems stem from ourselves, the adults who are still unable to face up to our own mistakes and make more mistakes because we want to cover up a mistake, and all kinds of disasters that result from it.
When disaster strikes, people are often at a loss and helpless. Under the disaster, the flash of humanity and the care of humanity will be reflected in bright colors against the dark background. But originally, this color is not lacking in people's lives. Those who have been and are becoming victims will never be willing to be a dead dust in the gray background that sets off this color.
Here, blaming doctrines, beliefs, parties, and institutions can only make all that blood and life lost pale. All bashing, based solely on righteous indignation or sympathetic fear, will do nothing to change the status quo and prevent another disaster. And if it is mixed with some interests, or even driven by interests, there will be no other possible results other than bringing more and greater disasters.
Whether the initiator, the participants, the bystanders, and the victims who are forced to be involved, they all have their own reasons and their own mistakes. Just stand in their respective positions, and ultimately lead to diametrically opposite conclusions. But in any case, the disaster is presented to the world, and the act of killing and the destruction of life is enough to obliterate all self-promotion and righteousness. In such dripping blood, right may be difficult to establish, but wrong is irrefutable. For the deceased, this kind of error has been irreversible, and there is no meaning to correct it. But for all living people, whether they have the courage to admit their mistakes is the key to determining whether the disaster will continue.
Here, no one can be a judge. Everyone can only choose between repentance and silence. Because no matter how far away the killing ground is physically, no one will know whose homeland the next disaster will be staged.

BTW, when will Mr. Wu Han, one of the leading actors in the movie, get real respect and honor in the place where his ancestors grew up, and when will our country really be qualified to discuss what a big country should do?

    John Malkovich turned out to have hair; Wu Han is completely the protagonist without any dispute; imagine and band on the run each, the director is very good at finding a balance~~~~~

The Killing Fields quotes

  • Dith Pran: [voiceover in Khmer Rouge reeducation camp] Sydney, Angka says that those who were guilty of soft living in the years of the great struggle and did not care for the sufferings of the peasant, must confess. Because, now is the year zero and everything is to start anew.

  • Dith Pran: [voiceover in Khmer Rouge reeducation camp] I'm full of fear, Sydney. I must show no understanding. Not of French or English. I must have no past, Sydney. This is the year zero and nothing has gone before.
