Sometimes, the righteous side will win. Just like Lin Nansheng, he originally wanted to work as a spy inside, but after truly understanding it, he was infected by the atmosphere of the righteous side striving for national rejuvenation, and finally chose to stand on the righteous side.
The saying "No contrast means no harm" really fits this novel. Lin Nansheng might not have been able to see it when he was still in that place, but when he arrived in the new place, he could discover the real gap between the two. Who is, really for the people!
This novel really covers many elements, such as faith, family, country, love, etc., And finally presents us with a very complete story ending. Whether it's Lin Nansheng or anyone else, they all have their own perfect characters!
Persistence--Comments on "Rebels"
"The Rebel" includes four novellas, namely "The Rebel", "The Postman", "Cyanide" and "Rouge". The four novellas are all set in the Republic of China era, describing the helplessness and struggle of individuals trapped in that war-torn era. The novel has concise language and compact structure, with almost no special psychological description. Instead, it allows the characters to shape their images through forced choices and responses, and vividly expresses the powerlessness of individuals in the torrent of time and history. Being swept up by the torrent of the times, everyone is helpless. Everyone who appears in these four novels seems to be helplessly heading towards the end that has been arranged by fate step by step. In "Rebel", the love between Lin Nansheng and Zhu Yizhen who tolerated and encouraged each other was full of helplessness; Miss Lan's transformation from a popular dancer to a prostitute for American pleasure, and her only son's inexplicable death in the firefight of the military police was even more helpless; Gu Shenyan's suicide, Lao Pan's active exposure... Were all helpless. In "Potassium Cyanide", Jiang Yongnan, as a doctor, had to become a spy because of saving people, and used the scalpel to end the lives of assassination targets one by one; Tang Ya, as a young lady, had to be a bailiff with a gun to execute executions, and had to be taken care of for the sake of the people in her heart. Jiang Yongnan and Tang Ya could only drink a cocktail that was eventually named "Potassium Cyanide" to express their thoughts, but that cocktail was no longer the same as before. In "The Postman", Xu Zhongliang, a young man who is still in school, faces the tragic situation of his father's tragic death and his mother's departure. He reluctantly chooses to inherit his father's career and become a postman and an underground intelligence agent. Su Lina, who he is obsessed with, also has no choice but to become the mistress of two men to obtain information. Rouge in "Rouge" is even more helpless and powerless in the face of fate. Before her father died, she entrusted her to her apprentice Baosheng, but she still went to Shanghai to find the lover in her heart, only to find that he was already married and disappeared quietly after maintaining an extramarital relationship with her. She had to return to Xietang to marry Baosheng, but there were no peaceful days, Baosheng After being kidnapped, she exchanged her body for money to redeem someone, but the kidnapper took her over again. She turned into a bandit and became the leader of the bandit. When the person she first loved came to recruit him again, she decided to go alone, but the man did not show up. She scattered her family wealth to the villagers, but the villagers reported her. The manager tortured her and begged on the street, and finally returned to the place where she left. Jing Yu once said: "I think helplessness is an attitude of most people when facing reality... Because I believe that people in every group have personal feelings about helplessness, and I only selected those characters who stumbled in helplessness." These people in "Rebels" are exactly the people who "stumbled in helplessness", and their helplessness was the helplessness of everyone in that huge era. The title of this novel is "Rebel". Every character in the story seems to be a rebel, but if you look closely, you will find that they have always followed their hearts and have never rebelled. Observing the titles of Zhenyu's previous novels, it seems that there is a contrasting relationship between the title and the content. For example, the life written in "How Beautiful Our Life Is" is actually not beautiful, for example, "Romance" is actually a real anti-romance, and for example, "Pastoral" has no shadow of pastoral poetry, but is completely a scene of decadence and decadence. Among the "rebels", they may be rebels of the party-state, the central government and the military, but they have been in the huge torrent of the times, and after huge inner struggles and breaks, they still choose to listen to their inner voices. They have never been their own rebels, and the inner rebellion of not rebelling is actually just a choice. Although this choice is sometimes difficult and has to pay a heavy price, this is not true rebellion, but another kind of persistence.
Faith - a beacon pointing the way
What is faith? Everyone has their own opinions and beliefs. Faith can be said to be the goal of striving for life, or it can also be said to be the beacon pointing the way during navigation. For Lin Nansheng, faith has gone through many times of tempering and sublimation. When Lin Nansheng was a student, he believed that he was a teacher at a normal college who taught and educated people. He could convey the latest knowledge and ideas to every student, letting them know that their country needs their efforts to become stronger and stronger. But as time goes by, this belief becomes ethereal for Lin Nansheng. Only when there is a country, there is a home. If the country declines, how can students have a quiet environment to pursue knowledge? This created the sublimation of Lin Nansheng's faith. Lin Nansheng, who went to the special training class, believed in becoming an agent who contributes to the country. During this period, he was not afraid of hardships, trained hard, and made a qualitative leap from mental to physical fitness. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. It is this firm belief that prompted Lin Nansheng to become better and better, and thus joined the Shanghai Secret Service. But with the enrichment of experience, this belief caused Lin Nansheng to doubt. Is the belief he pursues correct? As a Chinese, don't we need to unite as one to deal with the outside world? This completely changed Lin Nansheng's beliefs. Lin Nansheng, who has infiltrated the enemy, believes in the liberation of China and that in order for the people to no longer be bullied by the invaders, he must fight to the end at any cost! During this period, in order to protect the revolutionary comrades, he concealed his identity, dealt with the enemy, fought wits and courage, and made many contributions. In the end, he played a vital role in the victory of the revolution. Therefore, in Lin Nansheng's life, her faith has been sublimated and strengthened time and time again, and it is also a beacon pointing the direction. It is precisely because millions of Chinese people have such faith that the revolution can achieve final victory!
Looking forward to the release of the TV series "Rebel", it is unimaginable that actors with different styles such as Zhu Yilong and Tong Yao will play a spy movie together.
