A very important background that foreigners might miss is that "the building" is not just talking about a whole world to a man, but also a huge solid structure of the country. Yes only as a Chinese can you intuitively feel this. The "medicine factory" is a symbolization that actually represents all the state-owned businesses, which once fed so many people and even became a faith saying "the business would live steadily forever" / "our country would live steadily and hopefully forever". But in the 90s' society, some changes happened, and many many of these state-owned businesses were forced to change their strategy. They had to tighten their expense, they had to cut down low-profit manufacturers. A lot of people lost their jobs, and even worse, their faith was smashed. And when all these shocks and muddles flood into mind, "ten thousand horses" run. This is somehow similar to Detroit's sufferings in the economic crisis starting in 2009, but even sadder, it described the sorrow of those bound to the fate of the whole nation, "collapse" together with the mother country. ----- 有个很容易被外国人忽略（误解）的背景是 「将倾」的 「大厦」 不仅只主人公的世界，还指代了整个国家原有的、固有的结构。是的只有中国人才会直觉性地迅速理解这一点。「药厂」其实是一种象征，它代表的是所有曾经辉煌的那些国营企业。它们曾经养活了亿万的工人，甚至教给人们一种信念：「国企是稳如泰山万年不倒的」，乃至「我们的国家也将稳如泰山千秋万世」。 但 90 年代的一些社会变动迫使许许多多这些国营企业转型，削减开支、取消非营利性（通常是过去的战略性）业务，许多人因此失业。然而失业仅仅是表象，更深厚的影响是那种对国企（国家）前途坚定憧憬的向往和信念被彻底粉碎了。 当所有这些如同乱麻的思绪涌入脑海，我们就听到了歌词里写的「一万匹马奔跑」起来。其实这场变故有点像底特律在 2009 经济危机中的遭遇，但更悲剧，它描绘的是所有那些把自身命运与国家命运绑在一起的人，一起「collapse」的可悲图景。
It's rare for people to understand the social environment of a musician before commenting on a song, and thank you for that. This gives us a more complete perspective on the song, rather than just a musical technical point of view.

among all the foreigner reaction to this song, u guys understand. 🎉
The most profound place in this song is not the melody, but the lyrics and the story behind the 40 years of reform and opening up
非常感谢分享！！！谢谢你们！！！
amazing
最开始的这首歌的展示的视频是一部电影《天注定》，剪的是这个电影的片段。
是好几部电影，而不是一部
Hahahaha 看来MV给他俩影响好大哈哈哈哈
MV 看起來是電影天註定
they thought it is the mv and comment on the instruments appearing in the video...
咋变成生活哲学视频了
这老歌什么时候火的
一盆说不清多少种颜色已经没有了纯粹的鸡尾酒，麻痹了我们的神经，似乎，让我们忘记了，至今仍在滴血的伤口...
有人相信关于歌曲背景，从80年代开始中国社会的的变迁是能从这个老外嘴里剖析和理解出来的么？不是说说的不对而是匪夷所思
歌曲评论区有国人英文介绍过背景
他俩在b站的视频怎么不在油管发呢
版权之类的
我超級喜歡你們對音樂的評論，很重又中肯的評論音樂我很喜歡，加油
社会发展的必经之路……只要有变革 就会有底层人民的躁动与不安
不是躁動不安，是不應該被遺忘
獨裁從來都是習慣把犧牲當必要，要求所有人忘記生命就是生命
一將功成萬骨枯不能成為理由，要記得，一萬個人死去不是一件事，而是死了一個人這件事發生了一萬次。
人性不完美，我們也不是神但記住我們不能是畜生。
@Eternal199709我可以这样讲吗 特朗普的上台是不是说明因为美国工业海外迁移那波下岗人的支持？但是你忽略一件事新中国才不过75年 它连制度都没完善 你就说独裁者的选择忽略（我只能说大陆很多地方再搞实验政策 比如20-30年前的医疗制度 农村人体验不到‘你可以说忽略’城里人赖在医院里 但是那个时候改革先在江西九江还有一个哪 我忘了 实验了多久我也忘了 反正奠定了大陆现在医疗结构 这肯定都是慢慢尝试着来的好吗？） wtf 大家都知道无论世界各地吐槽自己的政府是常态 但你这个……
中国人那种深深的绝望和无助，很可惜的是这种情绪又更强烈的影响了这一代以及下一代中国人
这段电影混剪真的不喜欢，sorry，完全脱离了当年下岗时，那种绝望和迷茫，由其是还在用人们的手足无措，国家还像吃人血馒头一样出现了各种鼓吹“奉献”“重生”的作品...比如刘欢的《从头再来》f**king shit，还有春晚婊子黄宏的“我不下岗谁下岗”。当年，还真就觉着自己挺伟大的，为国家做出了牺牲，现在看来...我们只是一群卑微的尘埃，一堆被计划作为沉重而丢掉的包袱，当年，大厦也真的崩塌了，至今没有清理干净...一切的繁华，都是海市蜃楼。谢谢，一首伟大的音乐，祭奠我们的时代。
如果国家不时不改革，会有现在这种局面？人人铁饭碗，混吃等死，国家经济怎么发展？这是历史的必然。
你不能够用一个正确的大方向就掩盖掉大方向下那些错误痛苦甚至罪恶的选择和行为…因为我们每个人都可能会是大方向下的牺牲品
