In Japan, there is a well-known Akita inu. After the owner died of a sudden heart attack, it still came to the station every day, obsessively waiting for the owner to return home, spring, summer, autumn and winter, ten years without interruption. It is known as "Loyal Dog Hachiko".
In 2009, American director Lesse Holstrom, after hearing this story, used this as a prototype to create the movie "The Story of Hachiko the Loyal Dog", which has ranked high on the Douban movie list for 11 years. Hachiko obsessively waited for the scene of his master to return home, and countless people wept for it.
In 2017, there was also such a movie released in China, it is "Loyal Love Without Words", known as the "Chinese version of loyal dog Hachiko".
Although the film cannot be compared with Hollywood movies in terms of shooting methods and story expression, this sincere work by a non-famous director is simple and grounded, full of strong local atmosphere. Many small partners who have lived in the countryside can't help but sigh: it's so real, just like the little dirt dog they have raised at home!
The story begins with a dog named Erzhu ...
< h1 class = "pgc-h-center-line" >01 With "two goods", the elderly paralyzed in bed have a companion</h1>
In a remote village in the north, there is an ordinary farmer. There are two brothers in the family, and the elder brother is a disabled person. When he was young, in order to earn more money, he fought to be strong and strong, and went to the river to cut reeds in the winter. That year, the weather was unusually cold, and the cold river water made the old Yu's legs lose consciousness.
When he was rescued, his legs could no longer walk on the ground. Since then, I can only lie on the bed, and I can't take care of myself, and I rely on others to take care of it.
After the death of his mother, the burden of caring for Lao Yu fell on his sister-in-law Qiu Hong. Qiu Hong is also reasonable, but after a long time, who can stand it? Coupled with the fact that he was bedridden for many years and could not go out, he accumulated a lot of depression in his heart and had nowhere to vent. If you catch the opportunity, you will rush to the autumn red hair with an evil fire.
On the surface, He said that he was a wasted man, and others hated him, hanging a bitter face all day. In fact, to whom can he tell the bitterness in his heart? Alas, maybe in this life, you can only use this way but the rest of your life!
The arrival of the second cargo changed his life.
Erzhu is a Labrador dog who "escaped" from a dog meat shop and accidentally hid in his brother's van and escaped. Old YuCai didn't care if it pulled more or less, looked at its stupid appearance, and gave it a name, called Erzhu. In its name, it is good to feed.
At first, Lao Yu hated the two goods very much. I think that the two goods are blindly calling all day long, and there is no use. From the poor erzhu he thought of his own tragic fate. Helplessly said to the second goods, people have lives, dogs have dog lives, no one listens to you, you have to admit your fate.
Lao Yu likes to tinker with repairs; he has a grand goal, to personally design a board car and see the outside world. When he was building a blueprint for his dreams, he often dropped his pen on the ground. Because of his physical disability, he could not reach it, and could only look at the pen and sigh. At this time, the clever two goods immediately helped him to tie up. As we get along for a long time, we are getting older and more inseparable from the second goods.
More importantly, the grievances that are old in the heart have a person to talk to. In the dead of night, Lao Yu often talked to Erzhu about his courage when he was young. Yes, he used to be a handsome guy with a lot of spirits! Erzhu seems to be able to understand, and often screams twice, responding to Lao Yu. Older than listening, happier.
Old Yu and Erzhu are like the coachmen and old horses in Chekhov's short story "Distress". No one wanted to listen to his distress and sorrow, and the poor coachman could only sit on the ground and pour bitter water on the emaciated old horse, expressing his dissatisfaction with the indifference of the people.
This behavior, known in psychology as the Hawthorne effect, stems from a 1924 experimental study by Mayo, a psychologist at Harvard University.
Professor Mayo spent two years interviewing tens of thousands of workers and talking about their views on the company. Workers spoke freely and vented their negative emotions, resulting in a significant increase in productivity.
Emotional catharsis is an important way to balance psychology and is an important way to maintain and increase mental health. Just like the old Yu in the movie, the bitterness accumulated in the bottom of the heart for many years is all vented, and the whole person instantly becomes relaxed, there is no longer a strong anger on the face, and the family is happy and harmonious.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" >02 "Two goods" for the elderly to pull the car for 11 years, after being sold back to the owner</h1>
After having his own "special car", he decided to go to the market to repair home appliances. Erzhu saw that Lao Yu was going out, and he wanted to go with him. As a result, he was driven back by the old man.
Once, Erzhu sneaked out, lurked carefully, and followed Lao Yu all the way to the market. Just when Lao Yu was disgusted by the shop owner and scolded him for stinking for food, the second goods appeared. A howl at the shop owner frightened the other party into flashing. With the help of the two goods, no one dares to bully the old Yu anymore.
Although the old one-handed design of the car is good, it will stop as soon as it encounters an uphill slope. After all, he is a disabled person, where is so much strength! The second cargo, with his mouth, bit the rope hanging on the car and pulled forward.
Since then, the neighbors in the nearby villages have been able to see Lao Yu and his two goods every day, one after the other, running continuously on the road. After earning money in the market, they are old enough to buy a piece of burnt bread, and they also have to share half of it for two goods; they are like a pair of close comrades-in-arms, no one can do without anyone.
The good times are not long, and the old family stall is in trouble. The younger brother was in a car accident while driving out, and the operation cost money; the niece was admitted to college and needed a large amount of tuition.
Qiu Hong encourages Lao Yu to sell the second goods. Because a few days ago, a big boss took a fancy to the second goods and was willing to pay four thousand yuan to buy it.
Where would the old man agree? In his eyes, Erzhu was like his own child. Seeing that the old Yu hesitated, Qiu Hong was extremely angry: Human life is not as valuable as dog life?
Old Yu listened, and his heart was very uncomfortable. Finally, he gritted his teeth and sold the second goods.
The two goods were pulled to the big villa in the city, with a luxurious configuration, and the food was also high-grade dog food, and the new owner treated it very favorably.
But all this is not what the two goods want. Lao Yu once said: The dog will never abandon the owner, you are to give him half a steamed bun, it can accompany you to wander for a lifetime. At this moment, the second goods missed the stubborn and stubborn old man.
So it fled desperately. The two goods crossed the long rail line, waded across the river, and even fought with other dogs...
After much painstaking effort, when he appeared in front of Lao Yu again, the two goods were injured, and the fur was dirty and pitiful. Old Yu stroked erzhu's injured leg, and he was distressed and regretful: Erzhu, you pulled me a car for 10 years, this time, I will pull you! It was extremely sad to hear, and it was already in tears.
In the quiet of the night, the two goods died quietly in their sleep.
Ignoring the opposition of his relatives in the clan, He was determined to move the second goods to the ancestral tomb. He said affectionately: In addition to not being able to speak, where is the inferior to people?
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" >03 The movie is based on a true story, and the dog's loyalty is priceless</h1>
In 2007, a video of a disabled elderly and a dog living together attracted attention on the Internet. This "Loyalty and Love Without Words" is based on real people and real events.
The old man's name is Yu Xueshu, and he is a native of Dawangzhai Township, Liaocheng, Shandong. When he was young, he cut reeds in the cold lake water, froze unconscious, unfortunately suffered from sepsis sepsis, and was paraplegic.
He was lonely all his life, played a lifetime of bare sticks, and his family was even more dilapidated. After the director Tan Yizhi visited the old man's home, he looked at the open roof, such a simple environment, and he was shocked that he could not speak.
Although the elderly have physical disabilities, they do not complain about others. He fended for himself and supported himself with a little skill in repairing electrical appliances.
Later, he had a dog named Kuroko, which was the prototype of Nichiren. Kuroko pulls him to the market every day. The nearby market is five or six miles, and the far one is more than a dozen miles away, and it is all Kuroko who takes the old man to walk the streets and alleys.
This pull is ten years. You know, Kuroko lived for 11 years, but pulled a car for the old man for 10 years. In the video, when the old man is besieged by stray dogs, Kuroko will unceremoniously show his fangs to scare off the "enemy" and protect the old man from being injured.
Later, Kuroko fell ill and did not survive. With tears in his eyes, the old man buried the sunspot here with a few stones and a handful of yellow earth. When thinking about it, the old man would come here silently and say a few words to the stone, as if the sunspot was in front of him.
Whether it is the American version of "Loyal Dog Hachigong" or the Chinese version of "Loyal Love Without Words", the loyalty and dedication of dogs to humans have touched us.
I remember reading a scientific explanation many years ago that dog loyalty is brought from genes. I have no doubt about that. Dogs are born knowing how to love others, and sometimes people live for a long time and do not know how to love others.
Just like in "The Little Prince", the little prince from an alien planet domesticated a fox. One day the fox said to him, "To you, I am just a fox, no different from thousands of other foxes." But if you tame me, we'll need each other. To me, you are unique in my world.
If you have a dog, please treat it well; for you there can be many cherished people in your life; but for a dog, you are its life.
