But I want to be nostalgic for the sound of the night clock, grandma's thoughts all day long, and run counter to the fashion of young people and the freedom of modern times.

      Avalon

      Years ago I have lived in Baltimore for a while, and as a habit, I usually try to understand the history and the character of the city better through books and movies besides the day-to-day life, so I watched the Baltimore series by Barry Levinson.

      Life is a casino! Elijah took the initiative to apologize, hhh, it's too good, you can even find all family conflicts in this drama, it's amazing! I still have a lot of headaches now, but my family is my family, even if...even my grandma and his language do not understand, but they are still closely connected! The family at around 1:14 is really wonderful. Is it...
