Wine with turtle's blood
In the movie "Farewell My Concubine", Yuan Shiqing gave Cheng Dieyi a drink of wine with turtle's blood. This kind of wine is called Farewell My Concubine. . Yuan Shiqing gave Dieyi a drink of Farewell My Concubine. Farewell My Concubine is to use food to induce the turtle to stick out its head, cut off the turtle's head with a knife, and drop the blood into the wine to mix with the wine. The wine is called Farewell My Concubine. The effect of this wine is to make the voice tinny. Yun, it has a miraculous effect on the throat.
In fact, Dieyi is also a poor person. He just loves singing and wants to stand on the stage and shine. Why was he abandoned and betrayed? Originally, Dieyi wanted to be the overlord, but because his senior brother missed the opportunity and because of his weak character, his life was tragic.
It was because of "Farewell My Concubine" that Dieyi became known to everyone, but in the end he couldn't tell whether it was reality or a drama. He was so deeply involved in the drama that he imagined himself to be a real overlord. , he committed suicide with the sword given by Overlord so that he could live forever in the story of "Farewell My Concubine".
Some people say that the person who understands Cheng Dieyi best is not Duan Xiaolou, let alone his master, but Mr. Yuan Si, who loves listening to operas. After the two of them performed "Farewell My Concubine" on the same stage, Fourth Master Yuan found Duan Xiaolou backstage and asked him: From the time the Overlord returns to the camp until he meets Yu Ji, according to the old rules in the industry, seven Why did Duan Xiaolou only take five steps?
Didn’t he become Huang Tianba in the world? Who is Huang Tianba? Huang Tianba was a traitor who betrayed Lu Lin and joined the imperial court. This passage is obviously saying that Duan Xiaolou's acting is not that good, but secretly it is reminding Cheng Dieyi that Duan Xiaolou is not his overlord, and Cheng Dieyi himself is not Yu Ji.
But he, Fourth Master Yuan, is the one. Unfortunately, Cheng Dieyi was too involved in the drama and stubbornly believed that Duan Xiaolou was his overlord. But Duan Xiaolou didn't understand Cheng Dieyi's thoughts, he just said that he was obsessed with the play. He only regarded Cheng Dieyi as a brother.
After singing "Farewell My Concubine" for the third time, a special spectator came - Juxian. Juxian is the top star in the brothel. After watching "Farewell My Concubine", I watched Fucked Duan Xiaolou, who played the overlord. He ran back to redeem himself and threw away his shoes. I found Duan Xiaolou with bare feet, and the two got engaged immediately. Cheng Dieyi's expression was unpredictable at that time, and he threw a pair of broken shoes at Juxian's feet. With this throw, what he wanted to say was obvious. The editor here will tell you something. In the old society, the standard for brothel girls to welcome guests was to hang a pair of embroidered shoes at the door of their house. Over time, the shoes will become worn out. This is where "broken shoes" come from. The engagement between Juxian and Duan Xiaolou broke Cheng Dieyi's fantasy of being the overlord forever. After Cheng Dieyi gave Duan Xiaolou the coveted sword, the bond between Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou was also broken. From then on, Cheng Dieyi decided not to share the stage with Duan Xiaolou.
The Overlord is no longer seen, and Yu Ji is no longer seen. The only one left on the stage is Cheng Dieyi's Yang Guifei.
After that, the Japanese invaded Peiping. Duan Xiaolou angered the Japanese army because of his hot temper, so the Japanese put Duan Xiaolou in prison. In order to save Duan Xiaolou, Cheng Dieyi was asked to sing a opera for the Japanese army. After singing the opera, he could put Duan Xiaolou back.
Cheng Dieyi got up and prepared things to go to the Japanese army without thinking. When he was going out, he saw Juxian who came to ask for help. Juxian agreed to let Cheng Dieyi rescue Duan Xiaolou. If Cheng Dieyi rescues Duan Xiaolou, he will go back to the brothel, never see Duan Xiaolou again, and break off the relationship with Duan Xiaolou. Cheng Dieyi was very satisfied with Juxian's attitude, so he went to sing "The Peony Pavilion" for the Japanese army. Only then, Duan Xiaolou regained his freedom.
Although his ending was not good, it was the best for him. He died under his favorite overlord, and he understood his wish. Besides, there was someone in the play who understood him. It can be considered a good ending for people.
The reason why a person commits suicide must be because he has no love left in life. Maybe he has thought about committing suicide in his later life. However, although Peking Opera has died, Duan Xiaolou is still there, and he may have been holding on to him. He hopes to sing a show with his senior brother again, and with this opportunity after the show is over, his wish can be considered fulfilled.
Cheng Dieyi really devoted his whole life to drama, but drama didn't seem to give him much feedback. It can only be said that it was not an era suitable for Cheng Dieyi.
