In the recently hit anti-Japanese light comedy "Dog Leftover Run", it has raised a question worthy of the audience's deep thought: Why do the people at the bottom show such a tolerant attitude towards the traitors in the play? Sister Bing put forward this point, although some people may object: Are they really tolerant of traitors?
Didn't the characters in the play make it clear that Doctor Mu was a traitor and asked Xiaocui not to associate with him? However, in the plot, the behavior of all the traitors is not so bad, and the feelings of the people at the bottom towards the traitors are not full of hatred. This subverts my established perception of the attitude of ordinary people towards traitors.
Although the traitors in the play have their own motives, their behavior does not reach that level of intolerability. For example, the purpose of Yang San and the child to rectify the dog surplus was so that Yang San could marry Xing'er, but did not put the dog surplus to death.
Ma Peizhong, the pseudo-county magistrate of Guide County, although he is one of the biggest traitors in the play, he still considers leaving room for his future, especially when dealing with the braided master of the Communist Party. Even Miao Chunlai, the ** company commander who surrendered to Japan, except for the blood of the soldiers and having a leg with the wife of his subordinate Hou Qi, he did not rob the people's daughters, nor did he serve the Japanese wholeheartedly.
As for Hou. Seventh, Zhao Tiehammer and other traitors are just Miao Chunlai's little minions. This series of traitor images presents a side of humanity and the bottom line, bringing the audience a different perspective on the history of the confrontation with Japan.
At present, the most unpopular character in the play is undoubtedly the pseudo police chief Qiao Sihu, who did not hesitate to shoot the crowd participating in the demonstration in order to protect the interests of the Japanese devils.
In the plot, there are at least three episodes that show that the ordinary people during the Anti-Japanese War did not hate traitors so much, and even showed considerable tolerance for some superficially decent traitors.
Miao Chunlai's true face is really shocking, after the company he led defected and surrendered, the devil gave him 6,000 oceans, and he only took out 1,000 oceans to comfort his comrades, which made people question how this dark company commander made more than 100 of his subordinates obedient.
In the play, only Tang Yulong, Song Yutao and other three people resolutely do not want to be traitors, and on the contrary, the male protagonist Gou Yu and Mao Xiaoer, who has a bottom line and a conscience, both chose to follow the trend, which makes people feel deeply contradictory and reflective.
It is worth mentioning that Mao Xiaoer has a bottom line because when stealing the money in the merit box of Shaolin Temple, he only takes what he needs, rather than leaving everything.
This shows that young people like Gou Yu and Mao Xiaoer, who still maintain a certain sense of justice and moral bottom line, do not regard becoming traitors as a major event that will be infamous for thousands of years, but go with the flow out of the choice of a military salary of 2 oceans per month.
It can be seen that the attitude of the common people towards traitors at that time did not reach the level of deep hatred. This scene resembles the positive depiction of the devil in ** by some literati, who recall the picture of the devil giving candy to Chinese children when they were children, which makes this reversed story even more thought-provoking.
This assertion is imbued with a logic of defending the enemy, as if the enemy only needs to give some superficial benefit to cover up the myriad crimes suffered by China. Such statements are even more ridiculous than real traitors. In the TV series, Dr. Mu followed the invaders into the village, and the road was lined with welcoming crowds, and people waved slogans of "so-and-so goodwill", which was very eye-catching.
In this scene, Dr. Mu distributes candy to the onlookers on behalf of the invaders, and the children scramble together to almost let out cheers. The adults around him looked blank, and none of them came to stop the children's behavior. It's a picture that is incomprehensible. In previous works on the theme of the War of Resistance Against Japan, it was common to depict the attitude of the common people towards traitors as hateful, sometimes even more fierce than the treatment of invaders.
However, in this drama, the relationship between the common people and the traitor is not portrayed as antagonistic, but more of an attitude of alienation or just verbal condemnation of the traitor, and there is no deep hatred for the traitor at all. Some people may mention that the fool Wang Mao's mother in the play once said a line that implies that "the invaders are no longer as friendly as they were at the beginning", which means that the invaders are gradually becoming worse.
Although it is also mentioned in the play that the invaders committed heinous crimes in Nanjing, according to this situation, the Chinese people should be deeply hated by the invaders and traitors, and it is impossible to tolerate the existence of Xiao Cui.
After receiving the pulse of Dr. Mu for the first time, she took the initiative to seek further medical treatment and accepted the gift from Dr. Mu. Xiao Cui's eyes revealed an anxious emotion, could it be that she had some special feelings for Doctor Mu? Behind what seems to be just a doctor-patient relationship, there may be more complex emotional entanglements.
What's even more puzzling is that in order to escape the shackles of marriage, Xiaocui chose to live in the devil's military camp and get along with Doctor Mu in this special environment. This makes people wonder, does Xiaocui see Doctor Mu as just a doctor, not a traitor?
This plot design is ingenious, when Xiaocui can't get rid of the shackles of feudal marriage, she actually looks for shelter and chooses the traitor Mu military doctor and the Japanese military camp. There seems to be a deeper problem behind this move.
It is foreseeable that Xiao Cui may face a tragic end, and may even become a victim of the devil given by Doctor Mu himself. This development is thought-provoking, and one can't help but wonder why the attitude of the common people towards traitors at that time was not so hateful.
Through the observation of the plot, it is revealed that the reason why the common people's attitude towards traitors was more complex at that time. First of all, the protagonists have a limited understanding of historical events, and they don't know anything about the Lugou Bridge Incident, the Battle of Songhu, Nanjing Da** and other information, and the information closure leads to ignorance of the little devil's behavior. Secondly, the inactive attitude of Lao Chiang and the people against Japan and the lack of comprehensive propaganda on the brutal acts of the devils made the common people have insufficient awareness of the cruelty of the enemy.
3. Among the people at the bottom, the emotional cognition of the country and family is relatively weak, and the concept of national righteousness and family and country feelings is almost unfamiliar. They inherently regard the responsibility of fighting the Japanese invaders as the duty of the ** and the army, and they themselves think that they are just ordinary people and have nothing to do with this matter.
4. At that time, illiteracy was widespread in society, and most people were immersed in the consciousness of small farmers. Their greatest hope after birth is to have a meager land, a cow, and imagine an ordinary and warm life, and steal life to become their only pursuit. These people are indifferent to the survival and turmoil of the country.
Perhaps at the beginning of the full-scale invasion of our country by the Japanese invaders, with a desire to control people's hearts, they adopted the "Huairou Policy" in an attempt to gain support through some superficial generous measures. However, it is also questionable whether just a few pieces of candy can sway people's hearts.
Xiaocui's fate is destined to a tragic end in such an environment......
