run to heaven

Time starts slowly in the process of repairing shoes by a shoemaker. Every stitch and thread is so careful and skilled.
That's how the story began...
A pair of broken sneakers, the two brothers and sisters took turns wearing them, just to go to school. If there are no shoes... As the saying goes, "without shoes, you are half poor", perhaps in other respects, it is basically impossible to walk without shoes. In Iran in 1999, a country that was not rich, a pair of shoes was a big expense for a poor family. This reminds me of me in 1999. When I was in elementary school, I was not very particular about what I wore, but I could at least have a few pairs of shoes to change.
Think about it, childhood should be carefree, playing with a few children all day long, it was a good time full of laughter and laughter. However, our little protagonist is "running" for a pair of shoes...
The pressure of the younger sister gives the elder brother a headache, and the understanding and understanding of the parents slowly turns the child's innocence into an obsession. It is this kind of simple obsession that changes Here comes hope.
The camera suddenly slowed down, and Ali's blue sweatshirt swayed and swung in the wind. His face was slightly deformed due to tension, his head swayed from side to side unconsciously following his footsteps, and sweat fell unconsciously down his temples. In the silence, only the sound of footsteps falling and the sound of their heavy and rapid breathing due to lack of oxygen could be heard. When he was about to lose his strength, some words began to echo in his mind, "How can I go to school without shoes?" It was his sister's voice. The words were so clear at such a tense moment, and they kept echoing in Ali's ears. "Come on, Sarah, come on." "I'll win third place for you, I will." That voice was so firm and powerful, it wasn't a joke, it was a promise, it was a man on his little shoulders great responsibility. So I watched him take a very tense step, step by step over the person in front. Step by step, she ran desperately, tears falling down in large drops.
This is one of my most unforgettable shots. The 5K marathon is a big challenge for a 9-year-old child, and he is not on the school sports team, just to get a third place, but he fought hard Desperately rushing to death...
At this time, it seems to me that his consideration for his parents and his consideration for his sister have turned into endless love. That love is so great and beautiful, and it is this love that makes little Ali run to the end. It is heaven, a place of happiness.
Remember all the setbacks little Ali encountered? Remember the goldfish in the small pond?
It seems that the groups of goldfish are like angels sent by God to observe little Ali, his suffering, his love, God knows clearly.
God is fair, little Ali used his needless and meticulous love to break through poverty and run to heaven.
After watching this movie, I feel a little sour in my heart. When we grew up, our thoughts have been corroded by reality, we have lost too many things, our desires have become dirty, and our meanings have become more and more material. And the simple desire has disappeared, because love has become no longer simple.
Childhood is flawless, a small sense of responsibility, but let a child have a big love, that kind of power will not be wiped out in a lifetime.
Regret the past and look forward to the future. Wish I could go to heaven too. Actually, we can all do it.
