Watch "Yesenia" again
The first time I watched the Mexican film "Yesenia" was in the early 1970s. I never thought that a country full of cacti could make such a good film. For the first time, I knew that there is such a nation as Gypsies in the world.

I was deeply impressed by the gypsy girl's ability to sing and dance, good at fortune-telling, and good at the means of the gentleman on the beam. At that time, my attention was all on the heroine Yesenia, her wild enthusiasm and vigor, her persistence, bravery and bohemian, her thick black hair curly like a waterfall, her gorgeous The rose petal-like red dress, her hot eyes with coquettish and stubborn eyes... In short, her every frown and smile intoxicated my imprisoned heart and easily touched my heartstrings.
I still remember the classic dialogue in the movie:
Yesenia: Soldier, you don't keep your word. You are not waiting for me?
Osvaldo: I've been waiting for three days!...
Not long ago, I watched "Yesenia" again, of course, I watched it on the Internet. This time, I found another character worthy of attention-Luisa.
Luisa is a pampered girl. She is knowledgeable, cultivated, enthusiastic and quiet, but she can unconditionally and unsuspectingly accept another girl she has never met as her sister, and when she learns that Osvaldo is only because of her When she was seriously ill and agreed to get married, she gave up her love and decided to travel to Europe with her grandfather and get medical treatment. She resolutely returned happiness to her strange sister. How much perseverance and courage was needed!
At home, Louisa cared for every family member while receiving love from the whole family. Luisa's mother and grandfather couldn't get along well because of the abandonment of Yesenia in the early years, and Luisa's grandfather and grandfather often had quarrels because of their different political views. At this time, the gentle and kind Louisa became Pistachios and lube for the family. Her eyes are pure, and there is no bullying, betrayal and discrimination in her world. She treats everyone in the family kindly, resolves their conflicts, and treats everything optimistically.
Louisa may not understand Chinese culture, but her words and deeds unintentionally fit the essence of Chinese culture. The greatness of Chinese culture is that it can often make all parties in conflict compatible and coexist.
We often say that home and everything prosper. This common saying is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese people. Home is a sky of love propped up for us in mutual support; home is a warm harbor that people seek in the midst of difficulties and setbacks. And, it is an intimate unity; and, it is a close cohesion, centripetal force and strong tolerance.
Tolerance is not only a virtue, but also a kind of cultivation. Inclusion produces not only harmony but also cohesion. The premise of tolerance is a broad mind. The so-called sea is tolerant to all rivers, first of all, it has a mind like the sea, so that it can accommodate all rivers. In life, everyone needs to tolerate this precious character.
At home, the right and wrong of many things cannot be as clear as black and white. In everyday life, it is our stubbornness that really hurts. We must learn to let go of those parts that are beyond our reach, don't let confusion entangle our heart, break our stubbornness, face life with kindness, sincerity and frankness, interpret life, and welcome every new morning. Life breaks out of the cocoon in the freshness of life.
Therefore, Luisa's mentality, wisdom and philosophy of life are a family classic and a real understanding and respect for life.
"Yesenia" is also a classic, it is only related to the memory of our generation, and it is connected to the youth experience of our generation. These old movies are no longer bright and trendy, but deep in our memory, they make us feel comforted and warm.
