The story of the movie "Thirteen Hairpins in Jinling" took place in Nanjing in 1937.
The buildings here are askew and only the frames are left. The streets here are dusty and littered with corpses. The air here is full of smoke and blood, and stray bullets shuttle in the smoke. There is also a church, a group of young girls, a foreign priest. Also, a group of women from Qinhuai River.
They are cursed and spurned by the world, but they stand up for the female students. I think of Cardamom who risked his life to get the strings for the little boy Pusheng. Even before he died, he still held the pipa strings tightly. I think of Cardamom's pure love for Pusheng. I think of the kindness of these women in the Qinhuai River, and I am also sad about Cardamom's striking scars left by the invaders with bayonets.
Daisuke Hasegawa asked the girls to sing for their celebration without a trace of pity. In fact, everyone knew that it was not just singing. I was worried that the girls would rather die than surrender. Nanjing City has been littered with corpses. Aren't these girls in the flower season afraid? "We will go for you. When people say that we are ruthless, sisters will do something meaningful to change this eternal curse." This is what the woman in Qinhuai River said, and also the most shocking and unforgettable words in this film.
The night before they died, they still laughed. Hiding a knife made of a mirror on his body, he said with a smile that he could earn an eye of the devil. Cut off the beautiful curly hair and come to the celebration of the devil with Chen George, the adopted son of a priest who guarded the girls.
The film "The Thirteen Hairpins in Jinling" did not explain the ending, but it was enough. These women in the Qinhuai River are so beautiful that they are looked up to.
Nanjing smoke is still floating, hovering over Nanjing, hovering in our history books, floating in our hearts, and will never dissipate. It let us see our peaceful world. It is the flesh and blood of revolutionary martyrs, and it is also the flesh and blood of humble Qinhuai River women. Little by little, brick by brick, it was built. Before death, twelve women showed their style and sang the unity and unyielding of the Chinese nation. "The Qinhuai River flows slowly. Up to now, Pangu has seen the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan and the elegant atmosphere of Jinling."
They bring noise, chaos, drunkenness and death. In the face of enemies, they have to eat, drink, play and flirt. But their noise is full of life vitality, and their teasing is mixed with human warmth. They are humble, but they saved the lives of twelve girls. They use their weak strength to build a wall for peace.
In Xi'an in 20xx, the film "Thirteen Hairpins in Jinling" made me understand why the Chinese nation has stood for five thousand years. We will remember history, remember our predecessors and cherish the present.
