This world is so unfair and I owe Cao Guiying too much.
The cards God dealt to Guiying were not called bad cards, but were directly shown to her.
was born with a disability, lame legs, clumsy hands, weak body, and urinary incontinence. He polluted the air wherever he went. The most important thing was that he was not able to have children, so he could not get married.
Such a woman was naturally discriminated against in the village, including at home, where she was sent by her brother and sister-in-law to live with the animals in an outhouse.
Until one day, my brother and sister-in-law were surprised to find that there was a man in the village who was a perfect match for her. Ma Laosi.
Ma Laosi's name is Ma Youtie, and he has three brothers, named Ma Youjin, Ma Yousilver, and Ma Youtong. After his parents, eldest brother and second brother passed away one after another, Ma Laosi lived with his third brother because the conditions were too poor to get a wife.
In the third brother's family, he was a long-term worker and a servant. He devoted his efforts and blood and sweat to the family. Even though he was still poor, he could not escape the fate of being kicked out in the end.
The families of Guiying and Ma Laosi hit it off and decided to get them married. In this way, the purpose of getting rid of each family's burden can be achieved.
When these two people, as insignificant as dust, got married, there couldn't be any ceremony. They just took a wedding photo.
The key is that I don’t have a house to live in yet. Fortunately, many people in the village have gone to work in Guangdong, so there are many vacant houses, so they temporarily find one as a place to stay.
But even with such a dilapidated house, we could not live in it for long. Later, it was demolished and the house was about to be knocked down.
Fortunately, Ma Laosi had a lot of strength. He made mud bricks with mud, built a wall, and covered it with wheat straw, which became the couple's new nest.
On the first night after the house was built, because there was no bed in the house, the two of them had to sleep on the roof. Ma Laosi was afraid that Guiying would roll down, so he tied her waistband with a rope, and tied the other end to his own pants. On the belt.
Ma Laosi said: Everyone said that I wish I could tie you to my belt every day. I will tie you tonight so you can’t run away.
At that moment, Guiying's face showed a happiness that had never been seen before and could not be understood by outsiders.
So, when she finally had the opportunity to lie on the bed with her fourth child in their own home, she said to her husband from the bottom of her heart: I never dreamed that I would have a home of my own.
This is the love between two specks of smoke.
They have never said a word of love in their lives, but love is everywhere.
They have never even had a physical kiss, but their hearts are closer than many couples.
Ma Laosi continued to squander his blood and sweat. What is different from the past is that this time, his blood and sweat have value: when poured into the ground, it can be turned into food, when sprinkled in the yard, one can see the chicks grow up in a day, and when dropped on Guiying, one can harvest warmth...
are all visible values.
This is the summary of the content of the dark horse domestic film " Into the Dust " which miraculously became popular only 50 days after its release. I watched it yesterday. Tencent scored 9.5 points.

I remember that this film attracted a lot of abuse when it was released, saying that Guiying played by Haiqing was vilifying farmers.
Nowadays, do we still have such poor farmers in China? Are there such backward rural areas?
People who say this probably haven’t watched the movie, only seen the poster. After watching it, I really felt that it was very original. Almost every village has a Guiying or Ma Laosi.
This drama does not vilify farmers at all, nor does it vilify the countryside. Guiying's village also has rich people, rich people who drive BMWs, and modern farming machinery.
What the director wants to show is not poverty, but disparity.
The gap between rich and poor is not only the gap between rich and poor, but also the gap between human nature.
The rich man’s name is Zhang Yongfu. His name implies that he is a filthy and permanent rich man. The land contractor in the village is a rich man who made money by squeezing the blood of the people at the bottom.
This person is sick and needs continuous blood transfusions to survive. He is also a rare " panda blood ". Only Ma Laosi's blood type matches.
Look, how ironic and cruel fate is. The most superior person sucks the "blood" of the meanest person to become rich, and even sucks the latter's blood when he is sick. This seems to be an eternal fate.
Can Ma Laosi not donate this blood? No, the whole village disagreed, because only by saving Zhang Yongfu's life with his blood could Zhang Yongfu pay the wages he owed everyone.
The meanest man, Ma Laosi, mysteriously took on the mission of saving the whole village.
At times like this, love is of course vulnerable. Every time Ma Laosi's blood was drawn, Guiying felt heartbroken and even begged the doctor to draw her blood:
But how did she know that only her husband had the "panda blood" chosen by fate? Her heartache and her obstruction , could not stop the husband from being called to the city to draw blood again and again.

Hasn’t there been any conflicts in this love hidden in the dust?
If not, then this movie cannot be considered a success or original. I am writing this article just to focus on their only conflict.
As I said before, this village also has modern machinery. A scene that many viewers may not have noticed is so dazzling to me:
Ma Laosi and Guiying are plowing the land with donkeys in their own land, while not far away, someone else is plowing the land with a tractor.
Pay attention to Ma Laosi’s eyes at this time. He is looking at the tractor. The gap between people's fates was too great. At that moment, it was impossible for his heart not to be filled with loss.
This is a foreshadowing.
Later, Ma Laosi finally broke out.
It’s still the same land, and it’s still a sharp contrast between the two pictures.
When harvesting wheat, Ma Laosi stacked the wheat straw on the donkey cart. When the wheat straw was high enough, he climbed onto the cart and asked Guiying to deliver it below. But Guiying tried several times, but couldn't hand him a small bundle of wheat. He fell into the wheat field, and the wheat grains were splashed everywhere:
But in another field, the tractor was still pulling wheat. .
There is also a couple over there. The husband is also in the car, and the wife is handing out sheaves of wheat on the ground.
The difference was that the wife easily picked up the sheaf of wheat and handed it to her husband.
Pay attention to Ma Laosi’s eyes. He is still looking over there.
are all human beings, the gap is too big. He couldn't help it, jumped out of the car, and scolded Guiying loudly...
This is in line with the real inner world of the people at the bottom.
They were also dissatisfied with the injustice of their fate, but they had nowhere to express their opinions and had no choice but to vent to the people they loved most.

Guiying remained silent. At that moment, she probably didn't feel too much grievance, but more probably just hated herself for not being able to do more for her husband.
She knows that her husband has paid too much for her!
Fortunately, Ma Laosi came to coax her soon. His eyes no longer looked at the couple over there, only the wife in front of him.
He helped her onto the donkey cart, and he also got on the cart, and they went home together.
On the way, in order to continue to make Guiying happy, Ma Laosi picked a wheat ear from local sources, took a sip in his mouth, and gave it to her:
There is no dialogue here.
Because the "gift" he gave her was too light, not to mention that no one could understand it, except themselves.
This is enough, Guiying looked at the ear of wheat in rapt attention.What does it look like? Like a flying bird?
is not important. The important thing is that as long as she is happy, it will be good if he sees her happy.
After the wheat grains were ground out, Ma Laosi gave Guiying another gift.
still uses local materials and arranges 6 wheat grains into flowers on her wrist. After pressing hard for a while and then taking off the wheat grains, a small flower will be printed on her wrist:
Ma Laosi said, give it to you. A little flower so that no matter where you go, I can find you.
The director used details such as tying the belt and pressing the little flower to imply that Guiying's ending must be tragic.
He still failed to "tie" her. One day, Guiying went to deliver boiled eggs to Ma Laosi who was working outside. She, who had difficulty moving, accidentally fell into the ditch.
The water was not deep, only half a person's height. Many villagers also saw her, but no one went into the water to save her, and no one even called Ma Laosi immediately.
After Ma Laosi finished her farm work and passed by the ditch, people told her that Guiying had fallen into the water. In this way, Guiying ended her miserable life and her miserable love.
Why didn’t the men save her? Is it the jealousy hidden deep in the corners of human nature? It's possible, because the women in the village all tell their husbands that their lives are not as good as Guiying's, and their men are not as loving as Ma Laosi.
Of course, it can also be a kind interpretation. Everyone thinks that her life is too bitter, so it is better to let her end her life early.
I choose the former interpretation.
Because the latter is unlikely to be true, the authorities gave Ma Laosi and Guiying a place to build a house, and they will soon move into a new house in the county; moreover, Ma Laosi also told Guiying that he I need to take her to see a doctor. In the long darkness, it's hard to see some light.
In the end, Ma Laosi paid off all the debts, food, and favors he owed, and went to face the unknown life alone.
What he owes to the world, he has paid off; what the world owes him, he does not want. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

Finally, let’s talk about Guiying.
My evaluation of her is: most people are not like her, and most people are not as good as her.
Guiying represents the tragic lower limit of this era. The quality of life of most people is far above hers, so it is not her, and it does not have to be her;
However, most people's sense of status with their spouses is obviously lower than hers, so they are not as good as her. she.
Take the dispute between husband and wife as an example. Whose marriage can have only one awkward moment in their life?
Who else, after making a mistake and being criticized by their partner, can receive a gentle apology from the other party in a second or two?
The women in the village are indeed right. They can look down on Guiying, but they have to admit that their importance to their husbands is far less than that of Guiying to Ma Laosi.
After watching this film, I am glad that most people are not Guiying, and I also hope that more people will get close to Guiying.
