Every character in the movie "The Wind" is unforgettable. The cunning spy Jin Shenghuo, the exquisite commander secretary Bai Xiaonian, the murderous bandit captain Wu Zhiguo, the wayward rich daughter Gu Xiaomeng, the indifferent deciphering genius Li Ningyu, and the vicious Japanese officer Takeda ......They performed a spy war drama with ups and downs in the plot, and the plot reversals are constant, which makes people want to stop.
Who is the "old ghost" hidden in the plot? It's a question to ponder.
In this film, the reversal of the characters' identities is unexpected. Gu Xiaomeng, the daughter of a wealthy family, gave up a comfortable life and became a spy, which was unexpected.
When she passed on the information at the cost of her life, people were full of respect for these heroes who sacrificed for the founding of New China. Similarly, Wu Zhiguo's identity was also surprising, he turned out to be Gu Xiaomeng's secret contact.
Wu Zhiguo gave Gu Xiaomeng's great cooperation, so that she successfully transmitted information and completed the task of saving the organization. Although preconceived, after watching this movie, it is difficult to read the original book anymore because the movie has already revealed the whole story.
When you actually open the book "The Wind", you will find that it is very different from the movie. Compared with the movie, the story of the original book is more exciting, ups and downs, and the content is richer, in fact, the movie only covers one-third of the original book.
After reading the original book, you will understand that the movie version of "The Wind" has made some major changes, including the key characters and the way information is transmitted. So, who is the old ghost in the original book, and how does it convey information?
Learn the story behind "The Wind" and go back to China in 1940, which was a period of internal and external difficulties, and it was an extremely difficult year for China.
And China's revolution is also at a critical moment, and internal and external troubles are like solid shackles, firmly shackling the Chinese people and making it difficult for people to breathe. How to break this deadlock became the primary consideration of countless revolutionaries at that time.
However, at this time, Wang Jingwei actually colluded with the Japanese invaders to establish a new Nationalist ** in Nanjing.
Since then, China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has entered the complex "Three Kingdoms Era", which is led by the Nanjing National** represented by Wang Jingwei, the Chongqing National** represented by Chiang Kai-shek, and the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region**.
The three forces acted independently and restrained each other, and the most despised of them was Wang Jingwei, who became the pawn of the Japanese invaders, waving the flag and shouting for the invaders, and his wolf ambitions were clearly exposed.
After Wang Jingwei came to power, he tried his best to win over the important members of the Chongqing Nationals, intending to disintegrate the anti-Japanese forces, and the clouds were dark for a while. The background of Mai Jia's "The Sound of the Wind" is this period.
During a celebration of Wang Puppet, an important member was assassinated, and this incident caused a chain reaction, and many pro-Japanese people were guillotined, and the situation was very serious.
The Japanese attached great importance to these anti-Japanese activities, and after investigation, the head of the Japanese secret service, Takeda (Hibara in the original book), determined that these activities were planned by the old ghost, the communist leader in the Peiping area, and that the old ghost was lurking inside the anti-bandit headquarters.
In order to find out the old ghost, Takeda used a cunning strategy, forged a false information, and induced the old ghost to spread, and finally the information successfully spread, and the five people who received the information all became the target of suspicion: Wu Zhiguo, the captain of the puppet army bandit suppression brigade, Bai Xiaonian, the attendant officer of the commander-in-chief of the puppet army and bandits, Li Ningyu, the head of the translation and telegram group of the puppet army and bandit headquarters, Gu Xiaomeng, the administrative receiving and receiving commissioner of the puppet army and bandit headquarters, and Jin Shenghuo, the director of the military aircraft department of the puppet army and bandit suppression corps.
Takeda secretly took them to the closed Qiuzhuang to investigate, and brutally tortured them, leaving the old ghost with nowhere to hide ......The old ghost in the Fengsheng movie is Gu Xiaomeng, she carefully planned to approach Li Ningyu in order to obtain information from her, and finally she completed the task.
However, in the original work, Gu Xiaomeng's identity is not an old ghost, nor is it as simple as the administrative commissioner of the puppet army, but a spy sent by the Chongqing national ** to Wang Puppet.
Is Gu Xiaomeng an old ghost? If she really is, then her three identities will be extraordinary, because one person can disguise, but it is too difficult to switch between the three identities.
So in the original book, who is the old ghost? Li Ningyu, she is an arrogant team leader in the movie, she has been being used by Gu Xiaomeng, and she didn't start helping her until she was influenced by Gu Xiaomeng.
But in the original book, everything is the opposite, Li Ningyu has been using Gu Xiaomeng, and even after her identity was revealed in the end, she still tried to threaten her to pass on information for her, this kind of fearlessness is deeply admirable.
As an old ghost, Li Ningyu was fully prepared from the beginning, and the most surprising thing was that she had already found a scapegoat, Wu Zhiguo, the captain of the puppet army's bandit suppression brigade.
Li Ningyu used Wu Zhiguo's handwriting as a breakthrough to successfully guide Fei Yuan to suspect him. She knows how difficult it is to convey information by hand, and that a person's handwriting is the most difficult to change.
Although Wu Zhiguo was indeed the superior of the old ghost in the original book, Li Ningyu did not forgive him because he had key information. She knew that Wu Zhiguo's hands were stained with the blood of countless martyrs, and for the sake of justice, she decided to make Wu Zhiguo pay for his crimes.
Li Ningyu's firmness and wisdom made her choose justice without hesitation in the face of the test of life and death.
She succeeded, at the cost of her life, not only to bring Wu Zhiguo to death, but also to successfully pass on the intelligence. The leakage of information was not as depicted in the movie, Wu Zhiguo sang a play and spread it, but Li Ningyu used Gu Xiaomeng's power.
Li Ningyu understood that she could not escape, so she was ready to die, but the information had to be conveyed no matter what. So, when she realized that Gu Xiaomeng knew her identity, she made a plan.
She used Gu Xiaomeng's spy status to coerce and lure, and finally won her trust. Li Ningyu drew his information on a painting, and then asked Gu Xiaomeng to report himself to Feiyuan, and finally let Gu Xiaomeng gain Feiyuan's trust.
Although the painting was not successfully delivered, the information in Gu Xiaomeng's hand was passed out. They succeeded in their mission.
It is recommended that you read Mai Jia's original work "The Wind", follow the protagonists Gu Xiaomeng and Li Ningyu, and feel the common enemy faced by the Chongqing spies at a critical juncture of the nation-the Japanese invaders, whose party and personal interests seem insignificant at this time.
*The wonderful content in the movie cannot be fully presented, and after reading it, it is exciting. We should bear in mind the price paid by our ancestors for New China, the bright red on the five-star red flag is their blood, and the revolutionary martyrs deserve our eternal respect and remembrance.
