Chaplin is really a great comedy master who can put the reality of the world in front of everyone in a comedy way

At first I watched this movie because Sanmao Sanmao mentioned it in the Sahara Desert. After watching this movie, I don't know why I was deeply shaken and moved by the persistent and simple love of the homeless for the flower girl.

This flower symbolizes beauty and sadness. The pure love reality of the flower girl is what will the flower girl who knows the truth do to her savior in the end? This ending Chaplin didn't tell us is left to our own imagination

The most impressive thing is that the homeless set foot on the road of boxing in order to collect the rent for the flower girl The flower girl promises to hand over the rent and the money for eye care to the flower girl

Kindness is precious in this city, and it is because of this kindness that the homeless rescued the rich man who wanted to commit suicide. The drunk rich man said you were my friend in this life, but when the rich man sobered up, he became a different person and became snobbish and snobby. hypocritical
