Fan xiao (2019)
A must-see movie for those who want to learn about Taiwan's contemporary history
The movie perfectly illustrated White Terror martial law period. As a mainlander who hardly know Taiwan's history and politics, I learned how tough Taiwanese people experience so much in decades to call for precious freedom. "Remember the history and never forget", is what we should to avoid a terrible foreboding of history repeating itself.
In a misfortune of era, not a single person is innocent. Sometimes democracy, freedom and human rights sound abstract to us normal people. You can't just say compared with food and drink; freedom is useless. But that's many people in China think, despite how ridiculous the idea is. Like Taiwan, we experienced Cultural Revolution and 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. Unfortunately, many who are brainwashed think stability of a nation is more prior than anything and happy to live under repressive rules. What a shame! The fact is, limited freedom will be deprived little by little just as boiling frog in warm water. I am really confused, if one day stepped backwards to the terrible time as in the 60s, will people really stand up and revolt for their freedom or give up and live as zombies?
