Traveling through thousands of years, listening to camel bells - Thoughts after watching "Legend of Camel Bells"
With awe and curiosity about history, I walked into the theater and watched the shocking "Legend of Camel Bells". When the curtain opened, a journey across time and space on the Silk Road began, bringing me a double feast of sight, hearing and soul.
"Legend of Camel Bells" takes "One Belt, One Road" as the main line. Through seven scenes, it tells the story of a camel caravan heading west from Chang'an, going through natural obstacles such as volcanoes, avalanches, sandstorms, and deserts, encountering a wolf pack raid, and arriving at the Roman Empire after a narrow escape, and then returning with a full load of goods, encountering holy water from the sky, and finally returning to Chang'an safely in the expectation of relatives. Every scene is gripping, showing the hardships and glory of the Silk Road vividly.
In the prologue "Years Reappear", the lights dimmed, the music sounded, and an ancient picture of the Silk Road slowly unfolded, instantly pulling me back to that distant era. The camel caravan moved slowly in the yellow sand, and the sound of camel bells seemed to tell the vicissitudes of history. At that moment, I felt the weight of time, as if I had witnessed the hard work of our ancestors to open up the Silk Road.
In "Sending You A Thousand Miles Away", the reluctant farewell of the newlyweds was touching. The wife packed her husband's luggage with tears in her eyes, and thousands of words turned into an affectionate hug and a sentence "You must return safely". The camel caravan moved slowly forward, and the relatives waved goodbye behind them. The reluctance and concern made my eyes wet. This scene made me deeply realize that the Silk Road is not only a trade road, but also an emotional road full of family affection, love and separation.
The one that made my heart beat faster was "Wolf Road in Danger". On the stage, a volcano erupted and fiery magma gushed out; the wolves roared and rushed through the audience, and the camel workers waved their weapons and fought a desperate battle with the wolves. The tense music and realistic special effects made me feel as if I was in that thrilling battle, and I was worried about the fate of the camel team. In this scene, I saw the bravery and tenacity of the camel workers. They were not afraid of the test of life and death, and they were willing to sacrifice their lives to protect their companions and goods. This kind of friendship and fearless courage of life and death deeply moved me.
As the plot progressed, the camel team came to the Roman Empire, and the scene of "Exotic Customs" showed a rich exotic culture. The Roman market was bustling, with silk, porcelain, and various goods; the Roman girls in gorgeous costumes danced gracefully, and the exquisite Chinese kung fu and acrobatics of the camel workers complemented each other, building a bridge for cultural exchanges between the East and the West. This scene made me appreciate the charm of different cultures, and also deeply felt the important role played by the Silk Road in promoting cultural exchanges and integration.
In "Xiangyu Xichen", the camel team encountered the Tang Monk's team and prayed in front of the Bamiyan Buddha. Thousands of tons of holy water poured down from a height of 30 meters, forming a spectacular waterfall, washing away the dust on the camel caravan that had gone through hardships. At that moment, the Buddha's light shone on the stage, and the peaceful atmosphere infected every audience member. This was not only a blessing for the camel caravan, but also a prayer for peace and beauty, which made me feel the power of faith.
