Bailongma died tragically in 1997, why didn't Director Yang Jie save it?The truth is revealed
Journey to the West is a well-known classic of Chinese literature. **It tells the adventure of the four Tang monks and apprentices to learn scriptures in the west. There are many well-known figures, such as Monkey King, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and one of the main characters we are going to discuss today - the White Dragon Horse. White Dragon Horse plays a very important role in "Journey to the West", but his fate in reality is very different from the image in the TV series.
The image of the white dragon horse.
In "Journey to the West", Bailongma is the loyal partner of Tang monk's master and apprentice, shouldering the heavy responsibility of carrying Tang monk to the west to learn scriptures. The white dragon horse is tall, white-haired, and extremely fast, and is known for"The fastest horse in the world"。Its mission is to protect Tang Seng and ensure that Tang Seng reaches his destination safely - to learn scriptures from the West. The White Dragon Horse not only has great physical strength and speed, but also has a kind heart. Along the way, it has endured numerous hardships and dangers, but it has never betrayed its owner and its duty. This loyalty and courage have made the White Dragon Horse a hero in "Journey to the West".
The realistic fate of the white dragon horse.
During the filming of "Journey to the West", Bailongma was under tremendous pressure and the conditions were very difficult. Despite the difficulties along the way, after the film crew disbanded, the situation of the white dragon horse was even more difficult. After the film crew was disbanded,"White Dragon Horse"It was sent to a film and television shooting base as a tourist attraction. However, the environment and treatment of the white dragon horse were not satisfactory. The health of the white dragon horse gradually began to deteriorate, his body was thin, and his coat color was no longer snow-white.
Although Hakuba put a lot of effort into the success of the show, in real life, he did not get the attention and respect he deserved. Although Yang Jie, the director of "Journey to the West", takes good care of Baima, he himself faces the pressures and difficulties of life. He was also vilified at the time, which made it difficult for him to help Hakuba out of his predicament. The film base also refuses to allow Hakuba to be properly rested and cared for in order to make money, and Hakuba eventually dies in harsh conditions, which contrasts sharply with his majestic image.
Why not?
First of all, we have to understand the positioning of director Yang Jie. Although he is a TV drama director, he is also an ordinary person who also faces various difficulties and dilemmas in life. He may have spent a lot of time and effort during the production of the TV series, so he may not have enough resources and energy to save the White Dragon Horse. In addition, Yang Jie may also be facing pressure from the outside world, and he is worried that saving the white dragon horse will cause more controversy and criticism.
The saddest reason is people's attitude towards animals, and in some cases, people treat animals as tools or entertainment, rather than living people. In the movie "Journey to the West", the white dragon horse plays the protagonist, but in real life, it is used as a money-making machine. This insensitiveness makes people think about the relationship between humans and animals, and how to treat them throughout their lives.
The fate of the white dragon horse is shocking and sad. Although director Yang Jie visited twice, due to various reasons, the white dragon horse was not rescued, so the white dragon horse could not live in real life and did not receive the care and respect it deserved. This story is also a reminder of our relationship with animals, calling on us to respect them and give them the care they deserve.
