1987年，大伯回到西安，和弟弟在隔绝了40年之后重新见面，可惜他的母亲已经等不了，于几年前去世。大伯带着一家给母亲上坟，快80岁的老人，跪在坟前，哭倒在尘埃里。“家里人让我看上坟时的录像，谁看谁掉泪。”张艺谋说。

In 1987,,Uncle back to xi 'an,And brother in isolation for 40 years later to meet again,But his mother had been can't wait,Died in a few years ago.Uncle took a chenjiayuan to mother,Almost 80 - year - old man,Kneel down in front of the grave,Tears fell in the dust."When the family let me see chenjiayuan video,Who see who cry."Zhang yimou said.

　　张艺谋去台湾看望大伯，父亲特地到荣宝斋买了几只毛笔，他记得大哥爱写字。又把张艺谋叫到一边，神秘地拿出一个纸包。里面是一张印在石头上的黑白底片，是张艺谋大伯的戎装照。

Zhang to visit uncle in Taiwan,Father to a: rongbaozhai bought some inkbrushes,He remembered eldest brother love writing.Also called zhang to one side,Mysterious to take out a paper bag.There is a seal on the stone of the black and white film,Zhang's uncle is promise.

　　母亲大惊，“文革”中家里经历过多次抄家，这么危险的东西父亲到底藏在什么地方，连母亲也不知道。不要说像他们这样历史背景复杂的家庭，就算普通家庭中搜出这么个东西，也可能会带来很大麻烦。

Mother frightened,"The cultural revolution"The experienced a ChaoGu many times at home,So dangerous things father what hidden in what place,Even the mother don't know.Don't say like their complicated historical background of the family,Even ordinary families confiscated such a thing,May also bring a lot of trouble.

　　张艺谋到了台湾大伯家，台北小巷里很普通的一家人。张艺谋拿出父亲给的纸包，里三层外三层拆开，露出里面的石头底片。大伯一看生气了：“他留着这个干什么？这有用吗？不就是一张照片吗……”他责怪弟弟。

Zhang yimou to uncle's home in Taiwan,Alley in Taipei is very ordinary family.Zhang is out of paper from her father,Three layers in the three layer apart,Show the inside of the stone plate.Uncle looked angry:"He keep doing this?This useful??Is not a photo……"He blamed his brother.

　　军人表达感情的方式是不同的。藏着一方哥哥的照片，瞒着世界上所有人，包括自己的母亲、妻子、孩子。冒天大的风险，张艺谋的父亲也许并没有什么奢望，就为有了它，他就不是一个人撑着，至少还有个兄长。

Soldiers to express the feelings of the way is different.Hide a brother's photos,Keep it from all the people in the world,Including their own mother/His wife/The child.The biggest risk,Zhang yimou's father may not entertain wild hope,Is it,He is not a person with,At least one brother.

　　哥哥当然知道，但他更后怕。

The elder brother of course know,But he might be more.

　　张艺谋问起大伯1948年是怎么到的台湾，大伯讲的故事更为传奇。

Zhang asked uncle is how to get to Taiwan in 1948,Brother-in-law more legendary story.

　　国民党撤离大陆前夕，大伯接受了一项命令，留在大陆打游击，他需要找白崇禧要50挺机枪。当时一片大乱，白崇禧也不大听蒋介石的命令。大伯老实，在白崇禧那里待下来，不知道下一步怎么办。正在此时，遇见了黄埔同学，同学告诉他，先别忙这些，学着别人把家眷送到台湾去。大伯这才找关系带着家眷到了台湾。

The kuomintang mainland evacuation eve,Uncle took a command,To stay in China to fight a guerrilla war,He needs to find pai to 50 machineguns.When a piece of chaos,Pai also don't listen to the command of Chiang kai-shek.Uncle, honest,In pai stay down there,Don't know what to do next.Is this time,Meet the huangpu,Classmate to tell him,Don't busy these,Learn to others the dependents to Taiwan.Brother-in-law just looking for relationship with dependents to Taiwan.

　　安置完家眷，他觉得自己的任务没有完成，又返回大陆。人到了上海，白崇禧找不到了，他也感受到了国民党政权的彻底土崩瓦解，正发愁怎么办，遇见了他的另一位黄埔的同学，是炮舰的舰长。那同学说，别想着完成什么任务了，搭我的炮舰回台湾去。

For the family,He felt that he hadn't finished the task,And return to the mainland.They arrived in Shanghai,Pai can't find it,He also felt the kuomintang regime collapse completely,Are worried about what to do,Met him another huangpu classmate,Is the captain of the gunboat.The students said,Don't think about what the task,Take my gunboats returned to Taiwan.

　　炮舰到了基隆港，几天靠不了岸。当时的台湾警备总司令陈诚，负责对撤台的所有军人集中管训。岸上布满了宪兵，大喇叭里滚动播着：“来台的军人们，请将随身携带的枪支武器交给上船的宪兵，然后依次下船接受安排。”上岸官兵必须先缴械，按照规划重新编队，港口拥堵非常严重。

The gunboat to keelung harbor,A few days on shore.Then Taiwan police commander in chief cheng ji,Responsible for withdrawal of all troops concentrated reformation training.The shore was full of police,Big rolling on the loudspeaker:"The soldiers come to Taiwan,Please give carry gun weapon to ship the military police,And then in turn the boat accept arrangement."Ashore officers and soldiers must disarm,In accordance with the planning and regroup,Port congestion is very serious.

　　舰长见老同学着急，想了个办法。那时候只有厨师和采购可以上岸采办，舰长建议大伯换身衣裳，冒充采购。临走，舰长不放心，自己也换了身衣裳，护送老同学上岸，“送佛送到西”，上了岸他才能放心。

Captain to me classmates try so hard,Think of a way.At that time only cook can shore procurement and purchasing,Captain Suggestions brother-in-law change clothes,Pretend to be purchasing.left,The captain don't rest assured,Oneself also changed clothes,Escort old classmates,"Send the Buddha to the west",On the shore before he can be at ease.

　　上岸不久，身后一声巨响，火光冲天，接着发生了连环爆炸，正是同学那艘舰的弹药库发生事故引发的。一个舰的人全完了。两个人痴痴呆呆看了半天，恍惚不知身之所至。

Ashore soon,A loud noise behind me,flaming,Then the serial explosions occurred,Is the students of the ship accident caused by the church.A ship of the people all over.Two stupid dull looked at half a day,Trance do not know the body moves.

　　大伯说，后来舰长扑通一声给他跪下：“老同学，你救了我。”

Brother-in-law said,Then the captain plop 1 kneeling down to him:"Old classmates,You saved me."

　　张艺谋说：“后来我看齐邦媛的《巨流河》，有很多感触。故事不一样，感受是相似的。战争、历史、天各一方、生离死别，对每个家庭带来的长久的痛苦，长久的压抑和悲伤，都是共同的。”

Zhang yimou said:"Later I gratefully emulate nations[Review the river],There are a lot of feeling.The story is not the same,Feeling is the same.The war/history/Live far apart/A bereavement,The pain of every family for a long time,For a long time of depression and sadness,It is common."
