When I learned that the film was adapted from a true event, I was still shocked. Because with my 30 years of life experience, I can't believe this is true at all, just like the North Korean people don't believe that Chinese people can eat meat every day. Can a private person buy a zoo? Can a widowed father make so many sacrifices for his children and encourage his 14-year-old son to pursue true love? I watched the film like an alien watching a fairy tale, and felt that my three views were constantly being subverted and brainwashed. It would be great if I were an American. Finally, when I saw the re-interpretation of the moment I met my wife, I was moved. There are such good girls in the world. A boy said, "I don't believe that a beautiful girl like you would talk to a diaosi like me?" The opposite reply was "Why not?" Finally got married. The amazing thing is that it was really Diaosi, and the goddess even predicted that his investment would fail, leaving behind the "circus fund". After reading it, a lot of unrealistic and harmful fantasies arose in my mind, and I had to swipe on Weibo for a while to bring myself back to reality.
