Look at Yesenia again.

Look at Yesenia again.

The first time I saw the Mexican film Yesenia was in the early 1970s. I never thought that a country full of cactus could make such a good film. I knew for the first time that there was a gypsy people in the world. I was impressed by the gypsy girl's ability to sing and dance, to be a fortune teller, and to be a gentleman on the beam. At that time, my attention was focused on the heroine Yesenia, her wild enthusiasm and liveliness, her persistence, bravery and bohemian, her thick black hair like a waterfall, her red skirt like rose petals, her hot eyes with charming and stubborn eyes. In short, her frown and smile intoxicated my imprisoned heart and easily touched my heartstrings.

I still remember the classic dialogue in the movie:

Yesenia: as a soldier, you don't keep your word. You're not waiting for me?

Oswaldo: I've been waiting for three days!

I watched Yesenia again not long ago, of course, on the Internet. This time, I found another character worth paying attention to, Louisa.

Louisa is a spoiled girl, she is knowledgeable, cultured, warm and quiet, but she can unconditionally and unwarily accept another unknown girl as her sister, and when she learned that Oswaldo agreed to marry only because of her serious illness, she gave up her love and decided to travel to Europe with her grandfather for medical treatment, resolutely returning happiness to her strange sister. What perseverance and courage it takes!

At home, Louisa not only gets the love of the whole family, but also cares for every member of the family. Louisa's mother and grandfather could not get along well because of their early abandonment of Yesenia, and Louisa's grandfather and grandfather often quarreled because of different political views. Louisa, gentle and kind, became the family's pistachio and lubricant. Her eyes are pure, and there is no bullying, betrayal and discrimination in her world. She treats everyone in her family kindly, resolves their conflicts and treats everything optimistically.

Louisa probably doesn't understand Chinese culture, but her words and deeds inadvertently fit the essence of Chinese culture. The greatness of Chinese culture is that it often enables all parties to conflict to co-exist and coexist.

We often say that family and everything are prosperous. This old saying is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese people. Home is a sky of love for us in supporting each other; home is a warm harbor that people seek in the midst of difficulties and setbacks. And, is the intimate unity; and, is the close cohesion, centripetal force and strong tolerance.

Tolerance is not only a virtue, but also a kind of self-cultivation. Tolerance produces not only harmony but also cohesion. The premise of tolerance is a broad mind. The so-called sea accepts all kinds of rivers, first of all, it is with the mind of the sea that all rivers can be stored together. In life, everyone needs to tolerate this valuable character.

At home, it is impossible to tell the difference between right and wrong in many things like black and white. What really hurts people in daily life is our stubbornness. We should learn to let go of those parts that are beyond our reach, don't let confusion haunt our hearts, break our stubbornness, face life with kindness, sincerity and frankness, interpret life, and welcome every brand-new morning. let life break out of the cocoon in the freshness of life.

Therefore, Louisa's state of mind, wisdom and philosophy, is a family classic, is a real understanding and respect for life.

Yesenia is also a classic, which is only related to the memories of our generation and the youth experience of our generation. These old movies are no longer bright and fashionable, but in the depths of memory, they make us feel comforted and warm.
