There are still many people living miserably

Yesterday, I took my children to see the stage play "The Last Station of Market Street". There is a line in it: "When you are in the dust, you can better understand what is beautiful." On the vast African continent, Plagues, wars and crimes ruthlessly ravaged the refugee camp. The filthy living environment, the life that was regarded as a mustard and the gorgeous natural scenery, and the innocent smiles of the children were in stark contrast.

The hero and heroine have a lightning-like and beautiful love, and they are sent to Africa together as husband and wife without knowing each other. Tess is passionate about helping people with AIDS. However, during the rescue process, it was discovered that a pharmaceutical manufacturer was providing free drugs under the guise of aid, but in fact it used the newly produced tuberculosis drugs for clinical testing to make huge profits, but caused a large number of innocent people to die due to side effects, and no cases could be investigated. . The brave and righteous Tess was determined to expose the incident, but she was hindered by layers and finally killed. The male protagonist, Justin, has always been an ordinary diplomat who is indifferent to the world, loves gardening, and takes good care of his own garden. He is unwilling to participate in public affairs that have nothing to do with his own life.

Justin found clues from a box of relics left by his wife and pursued them all the way. He learned about Tess's unforgettable love for him, he saw the ugly faces around him, and he saw the bright smiles on the faces of African children. The scene where Abu jumped out of the plane but ran after the plane made him sigh, and he truly felt the powerlessness of a person to fight against the world. In the end, he understood Tess, and truly fell in love with this flash-married wife, and chose the same road of no return as his wife. Their audacity inspires more conscientious people...

This is a movie that tries to awaken the conscience that life is equal. Don't trample on others at will, and use any means to obtain the interests of your own so-called civilization.

People who live comfortably always remember that there are many people on the other side of the earth who are unbearable to live. Maybe they can't do what they can do for them, live their own lives, and share conscience movies is a small effort.
