",000 miles home " is almost the only hit product in October.
But this scene is rarely mentioned:
ending, diplomat Zong Dawei fulfilled his promise and brought his compatriots back to the motherland safely, and passed by Chang'an Street on the Lantern Festival fire trees and silver flowers.
Sir remembered another "way back".
16 years ago, it was also a big hit.
A good person named Shijin passed by Chang'an Street for the first time after he was discharged from the army. The past came to his heart, and he refused to leave his military career and cried like a child.
Actors are all translations .

Soldier Assault
regular background Sir is not too long-winded.
" Soldier Assault " Douban page has become a popular wonder of Chinese drama.
Nearly 200,000 people have seen it.

classics need not be repeated. During the revisiting process,
Sir found that there were still many current questions reflected in it.
Do you need to delay gratification? How to choose
lying and volume? How to understand the meaning in the era of
when
is dissolved?
…
It may not be able to give an answer.
can resonate.
is dedicated to all those who are still anxious about the "answer".

Have goals and no goals
Before it, domestic dramas had never filmed military personnel like Xu Sanduo , and it never had it again.
is not only allowed.
There are also Chengcai, Shi Jin, Wu Liuyi , Gaocheng , Yuan Lang , Wu Zhe , Lao Ma...
In the play, you won't see too many military confrontation scenes, on the contrary it's the best The part is basically irrelevant to guns, fists and feet;
It restrains the impulse to show off its modern military force value to people. On the contrary, it can't help but repeatedly tells the blood and tears price paid to forge these iron bones;
It does not talk about victory and glory, and keeps a clear and cautious distance from violence, narcissism and bloody belligerent wars. On the contrary, it is closer, observes the high line of human nature in rules and violence, and maintains a simple and kind nature.
It does not blindly absorb the routine of genre dramas in order to please the audience, and creates the standard villains and evil villains. On the contrary, almost all characters receive transparent and fair spiritual nirvana and baptism equally in their respective destiny trajectories.
.
It does not lie flat or roll people.
It is a real, normal, and hopeful appearance in the world. Even a specific military theme does not prevent audiences of any age, gender, or occupation from resonating and healing.
people live? Why live?
Without further ado, the two newly enlisted young men and women who took the stage to battle were two newborns who had just joined the army, a "good friends" who grew up in the village:
Xu Sanduo ( Wang Baoqiang decoration) and Chengcai ( Chen Sicheng decoration).
answers the latter, a " volume ".
people are alive, and first of all, has the target .
This is the most important education that rural child Chengcai received from his father.
"Target", Chengcai has been sucking these two words repeatedly in his heart.
But in a barren mountain village, the goal is destined to be an abstract and ethereal noun for him.
There is no stage where he can show his strength. The existing opportunities have been occupied, and they cannot dig out even if they have never.
He could not find his own target, all he could find was Cucumber and Xu Sanduo (played by Wang Baoqiang) whom he could bully.
joined the army and got off the train with the recruits. A brand new world slowly unfolded in his eyes.
first joined the army, and every newcomer has nothing here, everyone has to start from scratch. In other words, the army gave everyone "newborn" once.
This new birth is different from the time we were born from the womb.
From the beginning, all the roads have been spread out in front of you. How to walk depends entirely on yourself.
And here, the chance is almost equal to for every "newborn".
Chengcai was overjoyed and felt that he had found a goal, and he could still fight for it for his whole life.
At this time, he was full of confidence and eager to try. He wanted to be a horse here, and he was the horse in the sky, and he rode out of the world.
This is his goal.
just happens, he has strong execution ability and strives for the first place in everything.
In recruit company , he is already the best in all indicators; he has entered the steel company 7th , which is unique, and he is still outstanding even if he is top in the ground.
Become a talent has accurate considerations and plans for every step you want to take.
is similar to Xu Sanduo. His main understanding of being a soldier is to shoot guns.
He wants to be the most glorious soldier among the soldiers. He soon joined the company and became a (deputy) machine gunner on the infantry chariot, majestic.
But no matter how powerful it is, it is just that sniper who can kill enemies thousands of meters away with just one shot.
The sense of purpose of becoming a talent is so strong that his choice to be a sniper can be regarded as a kind of established necessity .
Among all types of troops, who can enjoy the specific and slight sense of control over the target more than snipers?
is the second protagonist of "Soldier Assault", and he is just at the two ends of the personality balance with the first protagonist Xu Sanduo.
If "target" is just a concept for success, then Xu Sanduo didn't even have this concept in his mind, and was forced to lie flat at the starting line.
Seeing the cannon of tank , you will subconsciously raise your hand to surrender.
In addition, he is also the "turtle son" mentioned by his father Xu Baishun , Chengcai's "idiot", "figure", "kaizi" and "donkey" mentioned by his comrade Li Meng.
Facing the second "rebirth" in life, Xu Sanduo lives without any "goal".
Because he does not understand the responsibilities of the army at all, nor does he understand the meaning of being a soldier.
He chose to join the army just because his father "ordered" him to join the army, and when he entered the military camp, he could just escape from his father's punches and kicks.
At first, every step he took in the military camp was pushed, like a frog that poked and jumped.
recruit company.
He was afraid of being kicked home, but he didn't know how to deal with it. Chengcai gave him advice and asked him to plead with (temporary) platoon leader Shi Jin.
Grassland Class 5.
He has nothing to do every day except for daily affairs until the squad leader Lao Ma "ordered" him to build roads.
Steel Seventh Connection.
is a sharp knife against the enemy, a razor for training, and a bone-cutting knife for yourself.
This knife is like a sword of Damocles hanging on his head, making Xu Sanduo walking on thin ice all the time, making it even more difficult to adapt.
It was not until he realized that his performance determined the stay and going of the squad leader Shi Jin (played by Zhang Yi), that he finally knew the direction he had to work hard.
Each of his so-called goals comes from the "gift" of others, and he lacks the ability to actively find goals.
Xu Sanduo at this stage is just alive, living instinctively.
is like two metaphors of company commander Gao Cheng ( Zhang Guoqiang ) when he first joined the recruit company:
Mule and horse.
A talent with a goal is to strive for the best.
Xu Sanduo, who has no target, is a mule, who follows the flow.
2
Either volume and lying
Chengcai and Xu Sanduo were already the ultimate opposite at the beginning of the episode: lying and lying.
But most ordinary people in real life will neither know what they want like Xu Sanduo, like a headless fly, nor can they always be as confident as they want.
If we live in the drama, we are mostly supporting roles with few roles.
Specifically, we are inevitably Lao Ma, Li Meng, Bai Tiejun , Xu Er and , and Xu Baishun...
The biggest feature of us (they) group of people is that we can't help ourselves whether we are scrolling or lying.
The paradoxical thing is that no matter how complicated the process is, the results seem to be convergent.
You think you have worked hard, but others seem to have already lie down, which is not worth mentioning;
Or, you originally wanted to lie down, but the times forced you to roll, but you were so angry that you couldn't find a good place to lie down.
Anyway, lie in the roll, lie in the roll, lie in the roll, and roll.
But from the perspective of God, it looks like three words: boring.
Regarding this phenomenon, "Soldier Assault" can actually produce stories and characters.
Grassland Class 5, the most modern scene in the whole play. Class 5 of
was originally a class under the second row of the Red Third Company, but its connection with the Third Company is far less close to nature.
It takes four or five hours to drive from Class 5 to the regiment headquarters, but the grassland and desert are close at hand and are endless.
As you can see, this is an isolated island forgotten by the vast world, and the soldiers in this squad can also be regarded as the abandoned children of the army.
But it was not the company that gave up on them, they gave up on themselves. The responsibilities of
Class 5 are to guard the training ground for field army . After translation, it is basically nothing to do, and live-fire target shooting is limited to twice a year.
does not need to keep the housework, and the training is basically done. After all, no superior will come to check; even steaming buns will steam for several days, saving trouble.
When a person is in larger space, the flow of time seems to be slower in his eyes.
So in Class 5, the most time is time, it’s so much, so many people are crazy.
This is a "background land" where you can freeze in five minutes.
The only program that the TV here can play is called "Da Lang Taosha".
They had to rack their brains to find ways to fight against time, or ways to make people forget time.
Most of their time, they spent their time at the card table, enjoying the comfortable life after retirement during their service.
Therefore, on the one hand, Class 5 has no sense of existence in the 702nd Regiment, and on the other hand, everyone knows it.
Everyone knows what kind of place this is, "the grave of all squad leaders, the paradise of all bad soldiers."
No team will come here to station. For soldiers, scattered is the most deadly "virus".
The long time of isolation from the world has long forgotten their former goal: why they joined the army and why they came here.
Li Meng came to Class 5 with her dreams.
He has lofty ambitions and dreams of writing a giant novel of 2 million.
Lao Ma shoulders the mission.
Lao Ma, who was once the model squad leader of the Red Third Company (Shi Jin was the soldier he brought out), was appointed by the company to serve as the squad leader of the Grassland Squad 5. The purpose of
company is to hope that he can purify the casual style of Class 5, but he regards it as a kind of "decentralization".
In a trance, two years have passed.
Li Meng's masterpiece, she wrote a 200-word preface in a year.
The only thing Lao Ma changed was to turn himself into a "soldier" who got along with the other three.
When he said to Xu Sanduo: You should go and see what the real army looks like.
We are convinced that he gradually does not think he is a real soldier.
all dreams become fantasies.
The so-called mission disappears.
All goals, all ambitions, and all bold words. The more powerful they are, the less they can't stand a simple self-question:
Even if I persist, what's the use?
There are only grasslands, deserts, shrubs, and sky here. No matter what achievements you make, they can't give you a medal.
No matter how many times you ask, there will be no response to the question.
Finally, they concluded with peace of mind: everything is futile.
Don’t do things you shouldn’t do
Just don’t even think about
After all, they are all "smart people" .
Facing these constant and unchanging things, they foresaw their insignificant efforts in the morning and would even hear their distant laughter.
So they decided to use cynical cynical posture to try to cover up the confusion, anxiety and fear that pops up from time to time in their hearts, and wait for the final verdict.
In the current buzzword, they are "dirty internal".
Class 5 staged a military version of "Waiting for Godot" on the grassland, but they did not wait for Godot, but Xu Sanduo.
They did not look forward to redemption from chaos and disorder, but to a mirror and a mirror of "punishment for multiple sins".
Xu Sanduo, who came to Class 5, worked and completed training subjects on time every day, and did not provide guidance, supervision or supervision every day.
He "unshit" to take over the internal affairs of everyone in the class, which instead caused complaints from his roommates.
Because this is the training he received in recruit connections, what he thought was: As a soldier, he should have been like this, right?
Xu Sanduo's silly aroused as smooth as a mirror, reflecting everyone's misfortune and tearing off the fig leaf they were beside them.
also wakes them up from self-paralyze and then stings.
Li Meng has to admit that compared to Xu Sanduo's daily regular stance kick, his 200-word order is not the case.
Lao Ma finally realized that the "unity" he always called for was just an excuse to degenerate himself.
Compared with this group of smart people, "bad soldier" Xu Sanduo is naturally a complete "fool" .
Xu Sanduo's silly back is his simplicity.
so simple that I didn’t know that in the military camp, you could choose a way of living called “distant life”.
is so simple that I can't hear the sarcasm and exclusion of a smart person hiding a needle in a cotton wall.
An unknown person who is forced to lie on the starting line both in origin and in qualifications, is naturally cut off his sensitive thinking tentacles, and instead gains the talent to make a hole.
No matter what you do, you only need a correct reason.
They will not distinguish between dialect and volume.
Both are condensed into one action in their world: do.
before you can talk about it, or simply don’t say it.
16 years ago, Xu Sanduo snatched the " Mobius Ring " lying with the roll.

Meaningful and meaningless
How did Xu Sanduo do it?
Many viewers secretly claim to be surprised when watching the show: Is it meaningful to do this?
The reason why Xu Sanduo built the road was that he and the squad leader Lao Ma discussed the "meaning" (dial conversation).
After a while of "thinking hard", Xu Sanduo expressed his judgment: it was wrong to play poker.
His basis is that playing cards is meaningless.
Lao Ma couldn't refute it, so he had to say:
Actually Sometimes people spend their entire lives
Most of the time doing meaningless things
Then, Xu Sanduo said his most famous catchphrase for the first time:
The meaningful thing is to live well
Living well is to do meaningful things
This is one of the most profound philosophical propositions that accidentally touched: Existentialism .
A person's existence is the meaning of life.
But Sir has no intention of pretending to be a deep debate on this issue.
Anyway, what the audience sees is Xu Sanduo externalizing his living posture into a visual action: running a circle.
Lao Ma knew that he could not defend himself, and he planned to use facts to explain it.
A platoon leader (now the leader) who once stationed here wanted to build a road in the base because he also wanted to do meaningful things.
result, it has not been completed.
tells this story. Lao Ma has a kind intention and intends to wake up Xu Sanduo, stop when he sees good things and retreat when he sees difficulties.
But Xu Sanduo is a single-dimensional creature. Faced with these two conflicting sentences, he could only understand the previous sentence.
Road construction makes sense
Road construction makes sense
Halma was confused.
and Xu Sanduo started construction.
He first drew the edge of the road in the square, but didn't know where to carry baskets of stones, then used a sledgehammer to embed them into the ground, and finally sprinkled with a layer of stone powder.
path, gradually taking shape.
One person repaired, and four people demolished the floor and formed.
△ In the novel, Lao Ma measured the length of these roads with his feet: a total of 744 steps, which is 372 meters. It is meaningful to build a road. How could no one understand the simple truth except Xu Sanduo?
Of course, everyone understands it.
But why is no one except Xu Sanduo built the road?
In fact, what they say should be expressed in another word: benefits.
Building a road is likely to not change the current situation of yourself and Class 5, so why do you do it?
They saw through the "meaning" of Xu Sanduo's mind here at first sight, but there is nothing meaningless if there is no benefit.
But this is not how Xu Sanduo measured it.
He only focuses on the action itself. The benefits that everyone calls for are something, they should be there, they exist, just like a carrot hanging in front of the mule, which is close at hand, but can never be eaten. But the mule doesn't understand this, so it keeps walking towards the carrot.
coincidentally, Xu Sanduo first entered the military camp and used a mule to describe himself as a mule.
Therefore, for him, it is enough to have a carrot hanging there. How does the carrot taste, whether he can eat it, and when it is not something that the mule should care about.
All he has to do is move forward.
The result is that does not ask about the meaning, but he asks him about the meaning. The summoning of the leader of the group is a manifestation of this pursuit.
This is in line with traditional drama, and stupid people have good fortune.
To a certain extent, Xu Sanduo has obtained more cost-effective "benefits": respect and appreciation of experienced people.
In addition to the regiment commander, these people also have good people Shi Jin, second-generation military Gao Cheng, tough guy Yuan Lang, ruthless man Wu Liuyi, etc.
According to today's film and television routines, Xu Sanduo is also considered the "protagonist halo", and has made a counterattack all the way.

Not giving up or not giving up
The most quality of praise should come from one's own "competition". For the audience, how Chengcai views Xu Sanduo's change process and is convinced is the most exciting part of the whole play.
This is like, one person makes a big move, subverting and rewriting another person's values that go against the other.
Just imagine, who dares to say that today can convince a delicate egoist to go from seeing himself excessively to seeing sentient beings.
is difficult. But Xu Sanduo did it.
Chengcai's name is not wrong, and he eventually became a good soldier who let go of himself and dared to take on his mission.
Real actors have not completed the anti-oiling method, and they have done it in the role.
As mentioned earlier, this is a pair of wonderful people written by screenwriter Lan Xiaolong. Back then, many fans on the post bar were catching their spiritual CP, just to see whoever scrolled. The most exciting metaphor about their character in
The film comes from the mouth of success: tree and telephone pole .
tree, with many branches and vines, and its roots are twisted and large but not falling.
Just like Xu Sanduo, he has no set goals along the way, tried many things, met many people, and stumbling all the way.
road construction, hammer swing, abdomen lingering , guarding the military camp alone...
Shi Jin, Gaocheng, Wu Liuyi, Yuan Lang...
lacks any person or thing here, and he is not as good as he is now.
He also does not abandon any of any of them.
Even if the opportunity to enter A team is close, even if there is only one place left, it would be useless to memorize the injured Wu Liuyi to the end, but he still has to memorize it.
Only when you know you can't do it, you can see people's hearts.
Xu Sanduo and Wu Liuyi cannot reach the end point, and they can only reach it.
Because it is a telephone pole, with no roots or branches, straight up and down, cold and hard, hollow, and easy to fold too hard.
He is too clear about what he wants and how he can get it, so he is decisive in doing things and is good at calculating. During the
exercise, he paid special attention to his number of enemies killed, because this number determines the honors he can get. As a comparison, Xu Sanduo never does such calculations.
As soon as he joined the army, he always prepared three different levels of cigarettes on his body, waiting for an opportunity to send them to different comrades.
What cigarettes can your comrades get depends on their level, and more bluntly, on how useful they are to themselves.
He even aims his comrades who have "dead" (quit the exercise).
His strong desire to win and lose, and at this moment, he turned into a condescending arrogance in this action.
"Everything is in control", Chengcai was addicted to this sense of control, so that he does not give up any opportunity to climb upwards at .
so that all people and things that do not help this goal are abandoned by him .
so he became the first "desergeant" in the history of the 7th Steel Company (jumping to the Red Third Company).
In order to promote a non-commissioned officer, he thought it was worth it. Whether
is rewarded enough is his fundamental criterion for measuring whether something is worth doing.
So when Xu Sanduo did 333 abdominal cranes in one breath, his physical strength was almost shock .
At the door of the toilet, Chengcai stopped Xu Sanduo, who was unconscious, and asked him in confusion: Is it worth it for you to do this?
The problem with becoming a talent is that he is too self-centered and can basically not let go of anyone except himself in his heart.
actually, he is open on the surface and closed on the inside, which is the opposite of Xu Sanduo.
He couldn't understand that Xu Sanduo pushed himself to the limit on horizontal bar , just to give the squad leader Shi Jin a sigh of relief.
The more utilitarian your vision of the world, the more mysterious the world is to you.
so he couldn't figure it out. When he left the 7th Company, no one except Xu Sanduo had sent him.
Chengcai finally cried, crying that his "diplomatic strategy" failed, crying that he was like a stray dog.
Xu Sanduo cried much more than Chengcai.
But not for yourself, but for others.
cried because he couldn't fight for his father, cried because he couldn't keep Shi Jin, and cried because Wu Liuyi ran out of his ligament.
Become a talent for honor and never give up; Xu Sanduo never give up for his emotions.
The soul of the Seventh Company "don't abandon, don't give up". They each did half of it, and they were the complete Seventh Company together.
According to the current definition, Xu Sanduo and Chengcai both belong to the "King of Volumes".
but the "volume" way is the opposite.
has always looked into the distance, getting dryer and dryer under the scorching of ambition; Xu Sanduo always stared at his feet, obtaining supplies from every step he walked, and growing more and more inch and more.
became a powerful person, but he continued to consume and became a telephone pole.
Xu Sanduo stumbling, but he has been growing up in , and finally he is as tall as a cover.
If Sir wants to recall the most poetic scene in the whole play, it is probably the figure standing guard alone on the grassland.
is like a tree without companions and can be cut down at any time.
is about the only duty that Grassland Class 5 is still actually performing.
In this chapter, there is such an inconspicuous saying in the novel "Soldier Assault":
"Theoretically speaking, sentry is to warn of enemies that most of them will never appear in their lifetime. Xu Sanduo is a person who can't tell the difference between theory and practice."
The sentry here is both a microcosm of the army and a symbol of life.
Talented people believe that the result of life mainly depends on whether you can seize the key opportunity of . An opportunity like
is like an enemy guarded by the sentry, which has not been many times in his life.
so as long as it/he appears, you catch/present.
The rest of the time is just waiting.
This is called "separating theory and practice".
, and Xu Sanduo belongs to the type of people who cannot distinguish.
theory and practice are the same for him.
doesn’t matter if you catch it or wait; it doesn’t matter if you are present or leave.
People who have distinguished themselves will live tomorrow.
People who cannot tell the difference live today.
Tomorrow is full of uncertainty, so they are always anxious, afraid of losing, afraid of not getting, afraid of waiting too dull, and afraid of waiting too long.
"Glory lies in dullness, and difficulty lies in longness."
people who say this sentence themselves do not believe it.
strong sense of target, it is a good thing in combat.
But whether you are a soldier or not, battle can only account for a small part of your life.
You can’t treat all life in the way you treat battles.
Otherwise, when you pull the trigger to kill the enemy (achiev the goal), and the enemy (target) disappears, there will be a blank space in the middle of the world except you.
This is also why I can’t remember anything about my three-year military career.
And every day of it, Xu Sanduo is vivid in his mind.
Because Xu Sanduo lives today.
Countless todays constitute each day of his.
He lives every day seriously, so even if he does exactly the same thing every day, he can still find the subtle differences between heaven, so every day is unique and irreplaceable to him.
The person who lives today is a tree.
tree is very slow.
so slow that you can hardly feel it moving or growing.
It has a different time scale than that of ordinary people.
This "secret" was discovered by Zhuangzi more than two thousand years ago:
"There is a Ming Ling in the south of Chu, which is spring for five hundred years and autumn for five hundred years; in ancient times there was big chun , which is eight thousand years as spring for eight thousand years and autumn for eight thousand years, which is the big year."
For trees, all changes have occurred slowly over the years.
People who are like trees can look at their lives from a more macroscopic time scale. Most people who are worried about gains and losses are because of the small time scale.
is like Zhuangzi's writing:
"The morning bacteria do not know the new moon, cicada do not know the spring and autumn." "Summer insects cannot speak to ice, but are firm in the time."
They always overestimate what they can do in a day, but underestimate what they can do in a year.
Their favorite word is: perfect merit, reach the sky in one step.
But Yuan Lang ( Duan Yihong ) has already said the answer, there is no such thing.
People who are like trees often have "normality", are not prone to anxiety, and can endure loneliness.
can unconsciously look at everything you do on a larger time scale. This is Xu Sanduo's most amazing hidden talent.
Because he only lives today, focusing on every little thing he does.
Finally, Sir echoes the beginning.
The actor Zhang Yi, who plays the squad leader of Shi Jin, once wrote an article, "Just like Shi Jin asked Xu Sanduo to swing a sledgehammer," which is about rehearsing the drama version of "Soldier Assault" in his comrades Art Troupe in 2000, which is Yuan Lang's B-playing record, but he did not come to the stage after acting for three years.
Then another three years, a full six years, he reads novels or scripts from time to time.
is like building a road that no one thinks is meaningful in Grassland Class 5. After all, a great director once "asserted" to Zhang Yi that a male actor can take a shower and go to bed if he is over 27 years old.
result, don’t give up or give up.
"Soldier Assault" has increased significantly on Douban, and these "Xu Sanduo" have also come out of these, their smiles are warm and clear.
We always remember it.
