little Prince

Want to get in touch? Between parent and child? between lovers?
Want to say miracle? between interests? Between talents?
Neither, maybe, but none of them attracted me to the film. In the farmland in the countryside, in the farmland in rural Guizhou, there is not so much breadth, not so much music, when standing there breathing, there is only a simple feeling. I love music, I'm obsessed with music, but I can't play music, and I don't have any talent to create music, I can only listen, and the musicians who listen to music from all things, write this. A child, sweet smile, squeezed dimples, no sorrow and hatred, either heavy with determination, or with a shy smile, or a hearty smile. This reminds me of the little prince, the little prince in Saint-Exupéry's writings, who is self-sufficient and happy.
Wandering everywhere, and all kinds of people are available, and slowly spread the good and evil, but in exchange is the same as always, the slight smile is like the sunshine on the canopy, far away and indicates warmth. And love, what others are to him, I don't know, the complexity and sweetness of the world, the pain and frailty are as huge and moving as always, but a simple power of belief, with music, slowly opening up, he wants to find his relatives , he wants to sing for them, using his talent to find. Maybe he doesn't understand parent-child and love, it's just simplicity, but he still cried at the beginning of the film, and sometimes the crystal-like tears in some despair, stabbed me in pain. His eyes and smile were just like the little prince, light and innocent.
I don't want to metaphor anything, but I am moved by his smile.
