      A Brief Comment on "Never Back Down"

      Zi said: There is no kind of education. But for more than two thousand years, this ideal has never been realized, both in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad.

      A little empathy

      Watching this movie, my heart is still very moved.

      Probably because I am not a smart person on the way to school; this movie will evoke a lot of past events.
