Recently, ** Radio and Television Station signed a cooperation agreement with Japan's Yoshimoto Kogye***.
CCTV said that the strategic cooperation between China and Japan will provide more opportunities and platforms for cultural exchanges between China and Japan, and help strengthen the friendship and cooperation between the two peoples.
On December 18, CCTV Movie Channel ** released a work called "Samurai Trilogy" by the Japanese - "Dusk Seibei".
Twilight Seibei is a period film released in 2003, which mainly tells the story of Iguchi Kiyobei, a samurai known as "Twilight" at the end of the Japanese shogunate.
Seibei was a low-status samurai whose wife died of overwork, leaving behind two daughters and an elderly mother. In order to take care of his family, he would rush home every evening at dusk. However, later a woman named Pengjiang appeared in his life.
The two had sparked a spark of love, but as time went on, the dispute over the heir of the feudal lord escalated, making the whole situation tense. Seibei received an order to put him against the famous swordsman Yugozenemon, and he had to leave his family and loved ones and go to the battlefield. Thinking of his family and lover, Qing Bingwei's heart was full of grief and reluctance. He knew that his duty was to protect the domain and the people of the feudal lord, but he also knew that his life was about to be in great danger. So, he said goodbye to his family with tears in his eyes and walked resolutely to the battlefield. During the battle, Seibei showed his courage and loyalty. In the face of a powerful enemy, he was undaunted and bravely fought fiercely against the enemy. However, in the face of the threat of the enemy, the Seibei could not forget the safety of his family. He secretly made up his mind that he must complete the task as soon as possible and protect the safety of his family. After a hard battle, the Kiyobei finally successfully completed the task. However, his victory did not make him forget the importance of his family. He returned home, reunited with his lover, and enjoyed a happy and wonderful time. However, the hand of fate never spared them. In the end, Seibei gave his life for his loyalty. On his deathbed, he looked back on his life and deeply felt the importance of his loyalty and family. He believes that his spirit will be passed on forever, inspiring future generations to continue to fight and defend their homeland.
This drama does not touch on anything that has any entanglement with our country, but it is indeed a drama that celebrates the spirit of Japanese bushido. It stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with Japan promoting their bushido spirit. However, in view of the historical contradictions between Japan and our country, many netizens have an innate hostility towards Japanese samurai and Japanese culture.
CCTV cooperates with Japan to promote exchanges between the two countries. In the long run, we can also see this cooperation as a way to cherish and preserve peace. Of course, we should not over-interpret or give unnecessary meaning to this cooperation. We should think of it as a film, enjoy and enjoy the content.
