Watching the movie "Lychee in Chang'an" is actually a Chinese horror film. The most shocking and devastating scene is when a jar of lychees is brought in with the nation's effort, resulting in the death of a large number of people, hundreds of horses dying from exhaustion, countless wealth being spent, and the mobilization of a vast labor force, as well as relay stations and plans. In the end, the lychees are placed on the fruit platter for the Empress's birthday banquet, and just as her hand is about to touch the lychee, it is interrupted by the sound of the gong, and she gently withdraws her hand. These lychees that traveled a thousand miles are just sitting there, untouched by her. Do you feel disappointed? Ironical? Unable to accept? Throughout this process, you keep wondering how the lychees would taste, how stunning the expression on the Empress's face would be after tasting them, how pleased the sage would be, and how the little people would change their fate because of the perfection of the lychees. But in fact, the lychee remains untasted, which is the entire core of this movie.
Let me give you an example and you'll understand. When I was in middle school, the school notified us that the school leaders would come for an inspection next week, so everyone was mobilized to clean up a week in advance, especially the dead corners of the campus. The hallways and green belts, which are usually neglected, had to be spotless, and even the old trash cans had to be replaced with new ones to avoid looking unsightly. Moreover, the students were informed that they could not take leave or be late on the day of the inspection, and they also could not wander around the campus freely. Some teaching buildings and laboratories were even temporarily closed off. As a result, when the school leaders arrived, they didn’t even get out of the car; they just took a glance and went to the next location.
Its essence is actually the nonchalance of the will to power. Whether the process is absurd, whether the outcome is reasonable, whether the flavor has been tested—none of this matters. What matters is that a single thought can rush thousands of miles, and that this thought is not even a direct command but something inferred by those below. Why is the moment when the favored concubine wants to eat lychees the climax of the entire tragedy? He does not refuse, nor does he express dissatisfaction; he is simply unaware that behind that lychee lies a cost in human lives, national strength, and a system operating madly. What power has always cared about is not whether the process and outcome are absurd or reasonable; what it cares about is whether its will is executed.
So, the lychee coming to Beijing is not just for eating, but to symbolize a kind of ability to coordinate the world. Is it really the rare and exotic fruits that are truly luxurious? If you are still discussing whether the concubine really loved lychees in history, or pondering whether the death on the Mawei Slope was unjust, or if beautiful women bring disaster to the country, then you haven't truly understood. #BTCÐ Launchpool收益超3%# #成长值抽奖12期开启# #白宫加密报告发布#
