Chapter 2167： hope

The story of Lao Bu made all the audience in the theater feel a little heavy, and it was enough to make people think too much.

Perhaps everyone lives in a cage, a cage that seems to be free.

The movie continues.

After Andy, Rhett and others learned of Lao Bu's death, they all looked sad, Rhett sighed, "He might as well die in jail."

In order to expand the prison library, Andy insisted on writing a letter to the State Senate every week, asking the State Senate to allocate some funds.

After six years of writing, the State Senate finally responded, not only allocated a small amount of money, but also gifted a batch of books to Andy.

Andy found a record in the book he presented. It was the Italian opera "The Wedding of Figaro", a work by Mozart.

Andy chose one of the songs "The Wind Blew Through the Maple Leaf Forest That Night". This song is about people in the maple leaf forest, feeling the warmth and coolness of the evening breeze. At this moment, the body and mind are extremely relaxed. Embrace nature freely and gain freedom.

Andy closed all the doors and windows of the studio, and then broadcast the record through the prison broadcast.

Suddenly, an ethereal singing sounded all around the prison.

The prisoners who were working in the prison all stopped working and slowly raised their heads to look at the position of the loudspeaker of the radio station, as if they were on a pilgrimage, very intoxicated.

In fact, all the prisoners did not understand what the lyrics were singing? Because the language is different, all people are intoxicated.

Because although they don't understand what the lyrics are singing, they can feel the unfettered freedom of singing.

At this moment, the prisoners in the prison could feel their hearts flying above the prison, escaped the shackles of the stone walls around the prison, and regained their freedom.

And this is obviously the reason why Andy played this piece of music to the entire prison. He wanted all the prisoners to feel free at this moment.

Of course, in order to make himself feel free at this moment, his desire for freedom has never faded.

When this piece of music was playing, Andy lay reclining on a wicker chair with his hands behind his head, and his face once again showed a smile that was already very familiar to all the audience in the theater.

Andy smiled again.

This smile was the same as the smile on the roof of the building when the inmates were invited to drink beer in the sun.

At that time, Andy gave the inmates a feeling of freedom, and he also felt freedom. It was the same this time, and it also gave the inmates a feeling of freedom, and freedom also felt freedom.

Only at such a moment, Andy would laugh like this, smile so knowingly.

Andy smiled, and all the audience in the theater also laughed. The atmosphere in the entire theater finally dissipated some of the pain caused by the death of Lao Bo.

However, Andy paid a price for this operation.

The warden Norton and the prison guard came to the broadcasting room and ordered Andy to turn off the music immediately.

Because Andy had already locked the door in advance, the warden Norton and the captain of the prison guard could only pass through the glass door to issue a serious warning to Andy.

Andy saw and heard it. He knew that if he didn't turn off the music immediately, he would be punished very severely.

But Andy did not turn off the music, but laughed at the warden Norton and the prison guard.

In the end, the prison guard smashed the glass door and broke in. Andy's music finally stopped.

Andy was severely punished for this and was imprisoned for two weeks.

Two weeks later, the inmates asked Andy, is it worth two weeks? Andy said that it was a very wonderful two weeks, because Mozart's music accompanied him, and Mozart's music was in his heart and in his mind.

All the audience in the theater sighed softly again, and once again they felt Andy's strong desire for freedom.

Unfortunately, Andy's freedom is still far away.

Andy asked the inmates, have you ever felt the mystery of music?

Reid said that he played the harmonica when he was young, but now he has no interest and has no meaning in prison.

However, Andy said that it is only here that it makes sense, and music will not forget it.

Rhett asked what forgotten?

Andy said to forget that in this world, there are some places in the world that these towering prison stone walls can't close, and there are some things in your heart that you can't touch and take away from this prison, and are completely yours. .

Rhett asked what was it again?

Andy said it was hope.

"Hope?" When all the audience in the theater heard these two words, they all felt a tremor in their hearts.

Hope, yes, hope, if there is hope in my heart, it must belong to me completely, this gloomy prison cannot be taken away anyway.

It turns out that although Andy wants to regain freedom, it is so far away, but there is always hope in his heart.

All the audience in the theater felt both gratified and sad.

Because in prison, is hope really useful?

As Reid said to Andy next, hope is a very dangerous thing, hope to make people crazy, hope that it is useless in prison, so that Andy's better to accept his life.

What Reid said is indeed reasonable. If you always have hope in your heart, but you still fail to see hope, ten or twenty years, hope has not yet come.

Then, you may really go crazy, in prison, hope may really be a dangerous thing.

It is better not to have hope in your heart. If there is no hope, you will not be anxious, irritable, and eventually go crazy because hope is delayed.

Rhett is a wise man. He is right. The audience in the theater can't help but feel a faint worry in their hearts.

Worrying about Andy, Andy always has hope in his heart, will it be a good thing?

Because at this time, Andy has been in Shawshank prison for a full ten years.

Ten years are too long, and there is no hope in ten years. Can we really continue to hope?

However, the audience is more willing to believe that even for a long time, Andy's hope will not make him irritable, let alone make him crazy.

It was Andy's unwavering eyes that told them.

Hope, it is really a very beautiful thing.

Next, Reid's parole application was rejected again, and he has been here for thirty years.

As a gift of rejection of parole, Andy gave Rhett a harmonica.

Since then, there will often be a melodious and slight harmonica, echoing in the prison.

That's Rhett playing.

I don’t know when Reid plays the harmonica, will he also ignite expectations in his heart through the sound of the harmonica he plays?

The desire for freedom, the hope that never ceases.
