What are you doing during this National Day holiday?
Just now, according to Maoyan Professional Edition, the box office of the movie "
It is understood that the film is adapted from real events. The first time the Chinese diplomat evacuated the Chinese is far more thrilling and difficult than in the news reports. In the movie
, riots occurred in the Numia Republic, and the evacuation of overseas Chinese was urgent. The diplomat Zong Dawei played by Zhang Yi and the diplomat Cheng Lang played by Wang Junkai were ordered to assist in the evacuation of overseas Chinese. The mission was successfully completed, but learned that there were still a group of trapped compatriots who went to the border evacuation point under the leadership of Bai Wu, played by Yin Tao . In desperation, Zong Dawei and Cheng Lang gave up the opportunity to go home, went against the flow and went deep into the war zone, rescuing 125 trapped compatriots led by Bai Wu, played by Yin Tao, and finally went home together.
movie premiere, many diplomats cried
It is understood that at the movie premiere, a diplomat who was the director of the first-class secretary's office of the Embassy of the Republic of Congo choked and cried while sharing his experience of watching the movie, "I was trapped in the embassy for eight days and eight nights, even the last Chinese will be rescued! No Chinese scattered all over the place cannot give up."
A diplomat with coordinates Afghanistan sent his thoughts on watching the movie.
full text is as follows:
"The Way to Return" has finally been released nationwide, with a warm response, as expected. As a diplomat who has been fortunate to participate in the evacuation of overseas Chinese many times, he has always been looking forward to this video.
In my impression, this is probably the first film with contemporary Chinese diplomats as the protagonist, and it is also the first film with the theme of "Chinese-style evacuation of overseas Chinese". It is a huge challenge for Chinese filmmakers to choose such a subject. The correct grasp and reflection of foreign policy, the reasonable restoration and processing of real history, the image portrayal and display of special groups, etc., any omission or improper grasp of any link will cause unpredictable consequences. Therefore, the emergence of "Returned Overseas Chinese in Thousand Miles" is of great significance in itself.
I thought that the main creative team would work hard to shoot the film and tell the "reach of overseas Chinese evacuation", but unexpectedly, a documentary that is more likely to become a subject of a documentary with a family and country sentiment can be filmed so wonderfully and touching.
First of all, it is real. In the words of director Rao Xiaozhi, , it means "realistic restoring the story of evacuation of overseas Chinese." I personally think this is the fundamental reason for the success of the film. In fact, the scenes about the evacuation of overseas Chinese have been shown in several clips in films such as "Wolf Warrior II" and " Red Sea Operation ". The evacuation of overseas Chinese in reality is much more complicated than the scene of compatriots queuing up to board the bus on the screen of the audience. Moreover, in reality, there are no "Wolf Warrior" and " Jiaolong Commando " magic weapons falling from the sky. They rely more on the running and coordinated organization of the Chinese diplomatic team at the national level. Among them, the ones who rushed to the forefront are the "Cultural PLA" - diplomatic and consular officials, that is, many "Zong Dawei".
As depicted in the video, they need to withstand pressure, understand the situation, think calmly, be calm in the face of changes, be afraid of danger, overcome various difficulties, and deal with various emergencies. The ultimate goal is to bring "comrades home safely." Of course, they cannot do without the guidance of the superior team and the support and support of the rear, but in places where wars are raging, they have to fight alone like Zong Dawei and Cheng Lang, fighting alone, step by step. An diplomatic passport , a five-star red flag, an bulletproof vest , a telephone, and a professional skill that has been repeatedly tempered, and an iron-blooded belief of "loyalty and dedication" is their "weapons and equipment". The video shows this objectively and realistically from beginning to end.
Secondly, it is wonderful. Although the specific storyline of the film is fictional and has some artistic processing, it is not completely out of reality.Moreover, it cleverly connects all kinds of difficult scenes we have experienced in previous evacuation operations and in different countries and regions, such as missing personnel, numerous checkpoints, critical situations, difficult routes, and various sudden accidents, forming a complete, reasonable narrative, but also ups and downs and exciting story. After watching the family, who did not understand diplomacy at all, they only said it was exciting and enjoyable, "prepare to brush the second time"! "People in the circle can't see the show, but those outside the circle can't see it." Personally, I think "The Road to Return" has done this.
is more important, it is vivid, which is also the biggest highlight of the film. It should be said that the casting of "The Road to Return" is indeed very successful. Both the protagonist and the supporting role vividly portray the spirit of the diplomat. Zong Dawei's perseverance and courage, Cheng Lang's passion, "Ambassador Xue Jian"'s calmness and firmness, and the complex emotions of "wife Wan Qian"... From them, I saw the familiar figures of my colleagues, the firm and persistent things of my diplomats, and the tenderness of my family.
and the one "Zhang Ning" are very similar to a consular cadre around me in terms of position, age, tone of speech and even appearance. Looking back at the video sample with several colleagues before, every time the characters appeared, everyone pointed at each other, "Isn't this you?"
A clip I personally liked very much was that when Zong Dawei was rejected by the straightforward but very stubborn "Numia" border official again and again, he finally couldn't help but get angry outside the door (it was probably ten thousand "grass mud horses" in his heart at that time). However, when he turned around, he immediately cheered up and continued to do friendly communication work with a smile on his face. I believe many colleagues have personally experienced this kind of emotional instantaneous switching. Many times, in order to win the best interests of our compatriots, we must put aside our personal likes, dislikes, and joys, and insist on fulfilling our duties and missions without hesitation.
Cheng Lang also perfectly demonstrated the characteristics of many young diplomats around me. They are confident, free and easy, calm, upright and heroic. I respect my seniors in my heart, but I do not just welcome them in my mouth, and sometimes I even show mercy. They will humbly ask their seniors for advice, but they will think independently, never blindly follow, and dare to question and challenge. Of course, due to lack of experience, it is inevitable that sometimes it is self-righteous and has a stupid move (fortunately, there are old comrades who are checking). But it is this valuable persistence and sentiment that will lead them to become the future Zong Dawei through repeated complex challenges.
Of course, there are still many exciting details in the video. For example, Zong Dawei's ideological change, his quarrel with Cheng Lang, and the mystery in the final "roulette game", etc. are all worth savoring during the "second brush".
The last clip of the video made me cry even more. "The plane entered Chinese airspace", and thousands of lights raised the capital. Whether it is when Zong Dawei was blocked in the traffic, was startled by firecrackers, or when he walked through the dark corridor and pushed open the door of his house and saw his reunited relatives, I could truly feel the peace and calmness in his heart after experiencing disasters, and the warmth and happiness of returning to his relatives. Believe in all this, it is the softest part of the hearts of all diplomats who stick to overseas and serve their compatriots.
When the smoke of gunpowder dissipates, prosperity reappears. The hustle and bustle of the past are actually the quiet and peaceful years that we deserve to cherish, and it is also the direction of the home we are struggling to pursue even though we are thousands of miles apart.I saw many comments from viewers and fans, "Salute to the diplomats"! In fact, at this moment, I would like to pay tribute to all the main creators and cast members of "The Road to Return"! Thank you for your hard work, which vividly presents the "Chinese-style evacuation of overseas Chinese" and tells the stories of contemporary diplomats so wonderfully. On the occasion of National Day in 2022, the audience across the country once again condenses and sublimates our collective feelings for the motherland through such a warm and beautiful way!
There may be various storms and challenges overseas in the future, but for the "Zong Dawei", "the journey of our compatriots to return is our journey of thousands of miles"!
The heart belongs to you, no matter what, even if there are thousands of miles, you will eventually return!
Audience breaks defense: a whole burst of tears
"The Way Back" is officially released on September 30. As of now, Maoyan scores 9.6 points, and Taopiaopiao 9.6.
Many netizens said that the journey back thousands of miles is so beautiful, and I watched it with my heart from beginning to end. Many netizens also said that there are many details of this movie worth watching.
Part of the plot
After watching so many reviews about "The Road Back", Fund Jun couldn't help but be full of curiosity about this film.
has compiled the information from various media, learned some of the plot, and spoiled it with your friends. In 2015, war broke out in the Numia Republic in North Africa. Diplomat Zong Dawei (played by Zhang Yi) and new diplomat Cheng Lang (played by Wang Junkai) were ordered to assist in completing the evacuation of overseas Chinese. Originally, they should have returned home on a plane with the expatriates, but they gave up their two seats to their Taiwanese compatriots and stayed in Numia for the time being.
Numia in the riots, the rebels burned, killed, plundered the city, the fire of war flattened the city, the sound of bombs and gunshots everywhere, and the deaths unexpectedly... The hanging corpses, half of the body being blown up, and the crying babies in the fire of war all reminded the danger and terror of the war.
Zong Dawei originally thought he could return to China the next day, but then he learned that there were still a group of trapped compatriots waiting for rescue. To find these compatriots, we need to travel through the exhibition area occupied by the rebels. No one can guarantee that we can live in the war, after all, stray bullets do not recognize people at all.
In fact, in the face of the task of evacuating overseas Chinese through the war zone, Zong Dawei refused at the beginning. He wants to return home immediately, and he can't even wait for a moment, because his wife (played by Wan Qian) in Beijing is about to give birth. The nature of his work has caused him to lack company for a long time, and he does not want to be absent again at a critical moment when his wife gave birth.
My friend Zhang Ning can understand Zong Dawei's mood to return to China very well. He also supports Zong Dawei's return to China, so this evacuation mission was originally carried out by him and Cheng Lang. After the accident, Zong Dawei decided to complete this unfinished task for his friend.
At this time, the bare-handed diplomats can rely on their passports, which are their communication and coordination skills, as well as their beliefs, courage and courage.
In front of the gun, Zong Dawei suppressed his fear and negotiated calmly again and again; in the face of the initial "difficulty" of border officials, Zong Dawei sorted and ran away the documents again and again; under the coercion of violence, Zong Dawei dared not to compromise, and even sacrificed his life, he had to protect the dignity of the country... Crisis followed one after another, which was stunning.
The tension was stacked layer by layer, and it was not until the plane entered Chinese airspace that it was truly swept away. "Ladies and gentlemen, the plane has entered Chinese airspace, and now everyone has seen the Himalayas. Welcome back to the embrace of the motherland." Everyone was crying...
A film critic said that the most impressive scene, I would say, was the plot of Zong Dawei going home at the end of the film. At that time, the New Year was already celebrated, and the crackling fireworks in the city symbolized festiveness.
However, fireworks is not the case for Zong Dawei. He just came back and had not adapted to the sudden noise. Every time the cannon sound was frightened by him. The plot of is very simple, but it is very delicate. It has no lines, but it is better than a thousand words.
Seeing this, Fund Jun cried...
