The first time I saw White Deer Plain was in high school. At that time, mobile phones were not popular. Schools in the town can only leave school after school. There is a small bookstore opposite the school gate. The deposit is several yuan, and you can borrow books for a whole day with fifty cents. At that time, I finished reading several contradictory literary works, including White Deer Plain. At that time, in order to hurry, I swallowed books. One of the most impressive plots in the book is the scene where Tian Xiaoe was found dead in a cave. The words described are vivid, as if they were in front of us, tragic and shocking.
Tian Xiaoe played by Qin Li in TV series and Yuqi Zhang in movie version are two styles, but both of them show some tragic features of this character in the original work.
In the novel, another female tragic image is the eldest daughter of his wife Lengjia, and the third female tragic image is Bai Xiaowen's wife.
The most prominent tragic image of men is Bai Xiaowen. Strictly speaking, Heiwa is not a tragic figure. Heiwa finally achieved a "balance" between herself and the environment. Although she was finally hurt by Bai Xiaowen, her heart was just right.
The actors in the TV series successfully created the role of Bai Xiaowen, especially when his father Bai Jiaxuan tricked him into his home and asked Lu to arrest him. "In this life, in this life ..." has been repeated several times, and this scene is particularly pitiful.
This feeling of watching movies or reading is mainly to analyze the role of Bai Xiaowen.
To analyze Bai Xiaowen, we have to talk about his "Lao Zi" Bai Jiaxuan first. There are meaningful dialogue scenes in the play.
Bai Xiaowen returned to the village after becoming an officer of the public security corps in the county. Through self-criticism and self-review, he was recognized by his father Bai Jiaxuan and allowed to enter the "ancestral hall". Later, Bai Jiaxuan took him to the cave where Tian Xiaoe died tragically. Above it stands a tower that Bai Jiaxuan specially spent money to build. The purpose is to "suppress" the dead Tian Xiaoe-just to reassure people. Bai Xiaowen fainted in front of the tower because his father told him that this woman was pregnant with his child and it was "damn". (In the novel, he dug up the mound in front of the broken cave by himself, entered the cave through the skylight, and cried beside Tian Xiaoe's bones. No one knows. Then the next day he came out alone and sealed the skylight. )
The so-called "killing people over their hearts", Bai Jiaxuan is an embodiment of feudal ethics that represents the suppression and restraint of human nature in the past society, and is a very typical character image. There are positive parts in him, but the novel also successfully shapes the complexity of this character.
The next day, Bai Xiaowen was ready to get up and go back to the county seat. At this time in the TV series, Bai Xiaowen was "heartbroken" by his father the night before, pale and with a numb smile on his face. Bai Jiaxuan stopped him and said, "You'd better go back to the village to farm. You are not cut out to be an official. " Bai Xiaowen asked his father "why", and Bai Jiaxuan replied "You are too pretentious". Bai Xiaowen said, "Big, you've been a patriarch all your life, aren't you pretending to be sick?" Officials are not pretending to be with the people above, but also with the people below. "Bai Jiaxuan and he said," I was pretending to be seen. What about you? Don't pretend that you left at last. "
This conversation actually has several meanings:
Bai Xiaowen was placed "high hopes" by his father since childhood, and was trained to be very obedient, honest and full of benevolence and morality. The novel describes a few things about the man when he was a child and some male and female plots he didn't know after he got married, which is enough to show that Bai Xiaowen was a person who really knew himself and grew up after he got married at the age of 16.
Bai Xiaowen did not follow the established direction of Bai Jiaxuan. Bai Jiaxuan believes that he is so "natural" that officials may even lose themselves and even go astray to harm the people.
Bai Xiaowen imitated his father's words and deeds from an early age and regarded his father as an example, but it was difficult to get his father's approval. Always trying to prove yourself. Eventually it developed into obsession.
