high-spirited gesture in the dark

Many movies make people feel pain while intoxicated, but this one makes you sober and painful. The free singing and dancing in the first paragraph is a cooling agent before the pain, which makes people's mind become pure and unfettered in an instant. Such a subject matter coupled with such a presentation technique is absolutely amazing. The personal charm of the female lead has contributed a lot, making the film infinitely attractive.

Hope for a better life is her dancing shoes, and neither poverty nor disease can stop her from dancing.
But in the end, dancing still couldn't save her life, another sigh.
The cruelty of real life constantly kills the beautiful parts of us, how to protect ourselves and others, and how to heal ourselves in desperate situations. Instead of telling us the actual method, the film depicts a high-spirited gesture in the dark.
