      love is action

      The biggest feeling this movie gave me is that the child is not just born, it is not just a matter of material satisfaction, and it is not just about talking about love, the most important thing is action and dedication. Many parents think that I gave birth to the child and that I gave life to the child, so I can do whatever I want with the child, but have these parents ever thought that this is their own will , It's not the children's, they are the ones who forcibly brought the children...

      the cost of raising a child

      You either have no money to have kids, or have the money but too busy to actually care about your kids.

      Since i just broke up with my ex a couple months ago after our discussions on marriage and child-rearing, I felt so much when I was watching the movie. The major conflict of our argument: how much money do you plan to make before you feel ready to have kids, 100k a year? 250k a year? or more? My ex came from a very wealthy family, and he wants to give his kids the kind of...

      Don't Ignore Your Children and Lovers

      If you're going to have a child, be sure to figure out what you can and should do for him. For a child, the greatest happiness is to have a complete and harmonious family, if you can't give him, at least give him more love in action, not just pledge eachother how much you love him all day long. If you love your lover deeply, please love your children deeply; if you love your own children deeply, please cherish your lover. You must know that when a person has a child, it is equivalent to...

      Actually I know everything

      In fact, I personally strongly urge those who want to get married, who are planning to have children, and who are already parents to take the time to watch this movie...

      When the song "Feeling of being" sounded at the end, I couldn't hold back my tears. Because my own family is like that.

      It seems that I have developed a strange habit because of this. When friends around me are talking about getting married, I always start personal indoctrination. Do you really think about...

      my two stories

      The first time I wrote a movie review, I just saw a few sentences written by Douyou, which touched my heart inexplicably, so I wanted to write something, my thoughts were very chaotic, and I only wrote to myself that

      this is a very slow movie. After watching the movie, I also want to tell two stories.

      Very independent at a young age. My mother went out to work since I was in elementary school, because she was dissatisfied with my father's mentality of "not seeking progress"....

      It's only because the child is sensible and cute that the two young people love the child more than the parent's love. The sense of responsibility is so easily aroused. In the end, there is no inversion to say that all this is planned by the child. In fact, this child is a genius mentally ill This kind of ending made me a little disappointed. The film succeeded in meeting a cow director who likes to make subconscious comparisons in a bad...
