a man with endless sorrow
When Qing dynasty struggled vainly to escape from its doom, when old China lingered on the verge of devastation, there was one person, our last emperor, Fu Yi, standing in the peak of the storm, shouldering enormous pressure, discontent and rebuke, falling to accomplish the task of reforming and reviving his country. It is a film narrating the whole life of Fu Yi, from his ascending the throng at the age of three, to the breaking out of the Great Culture Revolution, without any exaggeration, yet filled with regrets and tragedies.
Sorrow, it is the lasting feeling when I was watching the film, for Fu Yi, for his overburdening pain during his life span. He has tolerated many betrays, many strictly controls and behaved much more mature at a very young age. At 10, he missed the last glimpse to his foster mother when she was forced to leave the Forbidden City; at 15, no permission was given to him to pay a visit to his dead mother; at 40, he finally recognized that he was the just a political chess of Japan for them to reach the purpose of conquering the north-east of China. He has the ambition and dignity to be a good emperor, but the environment just doesn』t allow it happen.
It still impresses me a lot when seeing him throwing his favorite pet, a mouse, to the closed door of the Forbidden City, which directly killed that mouse for his lack of access to mourn his dead mother. It triggers me to think that how terrific pains an emperor needs to take to grow up and finally be capable to rein over the entire country. A child, deprived of right to grow up like a normal one, is required to learn classic Chinese culture, act normatively under the cruel royal etiquette. It does work in the field of teaching the prospecting emperor to manage everything regularly and making decisions fully within the requirement of biggest country and royal benefit. However, is it necessary to destroy a person’s life, well, in my prospective, to attain the purpose of ruling a country meeting the needs of classic culture and custom? Anyway, not a dynasty has lasted too long.
What’s more, such kind of education renders the emperor, Fu Yi, to consider himself the only one accessible to take charge of the whole China, as a result of which, he hasn』t even hesitated and accepted when Japan offered him a chance to be the ruler of Manchuria. Actually, before I saw this film, I didn't have much feeling about Fu Yi, the only impression he left for me was that many people rebuke him and his 「jack」 regime. Yet, now I sense much sorrow for his tragic life. This evil world takes away his happiness, his trust for others, his ability to see though himself and his wish to be a really good emperor. This merciless history turns him to be a sacrifice in his period.
To conclude, this film is likely to teach me not to evaluate a person or an incident when not having a comprehensive knowledge, or it would be a irresponsible behavior. For those who blame Fu Yi for his incapability, they focus simply on what Fu Yi did during the special period of China, yet seldom people are willing to dig deeper on why he did such things. It’s unfair to judge a person merely counting on the result, throwing away every facet, every factor influence this incident. We are not god, we share human emotions, and Fu Yi didn』t do something truly bad, he was just teased by his experience and history. Overwhelming blame would prevent us from figure what truth really is. At any time, ration is a big fortune our human beings own, and I hope I can take the best of it.
