Fate is impermanent

Destiny is a very wonderful thing. It is like walking, sometimes accidentally crossing the road or falling into a pit. Sometimes I just sing a song slowly, I thought I was going to sing like this, but I didn't expect it to stop abruptly. Life is actually full of too many unexpected things, sometimes it feels like an accident, but if you think about it carefully, it is actually a necessity. Facing death, what kind of attitude is, sometimes more or less determines all kinds of life. But fate is always so impermanent sometimes that it makes you feel the presence of God.

The footage and scenery of the film are wonderful. The music is also great.
