Back then we had dreams

First I listened to "500 miles", and then I accidentally discovered that this was the theme song of the movie "Drunken Country Ballads". So I made up for the movie.

The movie tells nothing more than the story of a loser, chasing the dream of music, but at the end of the circle, it still returns to the original point. Perhaps this is also the epitome of most dream chasers.

There is a sentence in Bei Dao's "Visitors from Poland" that impressed me deeply: "At that time we had dreams, about literature, about love, and about traveling across the world. Now we drink late at night, and the cups meet, and the dreams are broken. The voice." This sentence and the film interpret the same theme.

Maybe all the unwillingness has turned into a compromise in the end, so why not? From the moment the protagonist left, he was already different from the one who stayed where he was. At least he tried for the dream. (suddenly chicken soup)
