春去冬来 Winter is gone and spring has come
It is 3:06am Beijing Time. Having Finished watching 春去冬来, a South Korean film, which beyond description, I couldn’t help writing something.
Tks is not enough to say to you, my dear student and friend 马永汉！This movie is the most touched movie I have ever watched up till now. “人生庵”（Temple of Life) taught a big lesson to me. And it is the lesson we learn from life. Life long lesson! For my almost past 30 years, me, like the leading actor, make mistakes and also learn from the life. Only the life, bitter and sweet life can teach us and make us to learn from it.
The little monk grows up to a adult man, winter is gone and spring has come.
SPRING
Innocent boy watching by his master shifu grows up, fish, frog and snake are his toys, but shifu just quietly watched him while he was playing with his toys. A heavy stone was tied on his body as he wakes up, master shifu’s words are as heavy as the stone. If one of the animals is dead, then you’ll feel a pressure of a huge stone in your heart. Fish and snake died, boy cries and cries as he is a guilty child.
SUMMER
The boy turns to be young guy. As common young people, he is curious about sex. To be a monk, he has no chance to live together with young girls. Things change when one day a mum accompanies her sick daughter to the temple to cure the illness. Mum left and the girl lives together with he and his master shifu. The chemicals between the boy and girl are like burning flame. With the herbal medicine and love from the young monk, the girl has recovered quickly. And this non-stop fire inflams the love, desire and fury.
AUTUMN
The fury pushed the young man to kill his beloved wife. He is back to his master shifu when he has no way to go. Shifu knew what had happened before his back, but pretend as nothing was wrong. Shouting to his shifu who more likes his fathter or torturing himself, the man loses his peaceful heart. Policemen come. They are asked to wait to handcuff the murder until the young guy finishs carving of the Buddasim script ordered by his mater shifu. The scene is dramatic in this movie. The policemen help the murder to fulfill the the last lesson with the master shifu. Shifu burns himself to end his life after the leaving of his prentice and son.
WINTER
Having pushed the door, the whole lake was frozen solidly and the tranquility is broken by the arrival of a middle age man. He was the young boy, the murder, but now he is the prentice of his master shifu. Mistakes and experiences make him become mature and wise. After years of wind and rain, a little boy grows up to be a real man. Painful, but worthy. Movie needs climax. Ironic scenes in the movie, but actually the real life is even much more ironic. His wife wasn’t killed by him. The day when she brings their son to his temple, the same day she drops into the water and dies because of the hole his husband digged for daily washing. Life is ironic! His son becomes his prentice. He looks the same as his father and does the same things as his fathter did in the childhood. Fish, frog and sake, they are toys again, only the life itself is the teacher everybody can learn from. This is life!
