These are two people who have fallen into the dust. By the end of the film, they still could not escape the fate of being exploited. The Ma family's last "concern" for Ma Laosi was to take advantage of his extremely poor status to buy a building for their second son with 10,000 yuan. Even after he left, his house was demolished and his pigs were taken away, and he received a subsidy of 15,000 yuan. The bulldozer slowly tore down the adobe, burying the humanity along with it.
Their kindness and patience are regarded as stupid and deceitful, and they are even exploited unconditionally again and again. The disdain of family members, the disguised oppression of brothers and sisters, the "blood-drawing" exploitation of villagers who have moved into the city, and the hypocritical moral kidnapping . In the world of fission after money, material desires have eroded family affection and nostalgia. It was this rejection, use and even indifference in the world that indirectly led to their tragic fate. All the love and hate, happiness and sadness, sighs and indignation disappeared into the dust when Ma Youtie calmly faced death.
The relationship between Ma Youtie and Cao Guiying is more like two irresistible beings hugging each other for warmth in the cold winter, caring for each other, and living seriously and hard.When the lives of the two gradually improved, they began to have some fantasies about a better life in the future. When the corn harvest was good, they wanted to buy a TV set, and they wanted to find a doctor in a big city to treat Guiying. All this was like Guiying. Ying said that he had never thought about having his own home and being able to sleep on his own kang in his life. They love life as solidly and resolutely as anyone else.
But the house leaks when it rains all night , the hemp rope is specially selected for breaking at the thinnest place.
Guiying's death was the straw that broke Ma Laosi's back, the despair after his hope was aroused. From the moment he picked up Guiying's body from the pond, he must have followed him. That's why I was able to calmly handle Guiying's funeral, sell the grain, pay off the debt for buying seeds and fertilizers, and borrow 10 eggs, and release the old donkey that had been following him for many years, holding Guiying in his hand. Ying gave him a donkey made of straw after the rain that day.
