It is the work of Hirokazu Kore-eda in 2004. Although it is said to be based on real events, it is only borrowed from a frame. It is more about the society, life, and society from the perspective of children developed by him with the help of the lives of the four children abandoned by his mother. The understanding of money, family affection, etc., as well as in the process of gradually accepting the reality of being abandoned by his mother, focuses on the psychological changes of the eldest son, subtle emotional changes and maturation, and narrates a depressing tragic story with the director's good warmth. At the end of the film, the eldest son Ming and the heroine peacefully buried the little sister Xue, and walked back home with a tired face and a sullen face. The reflection was behind the rising dawn, and the song that sounded was the apex of the whole story, like a gentle hand brushing across Wet cheeks, life still has to go on, time makes them know how to cherish each other more. There are many possibilities in life, and sometimes there is no choice. In a situation that no one knows about, there is a precious inner peace, and family love is the best and the only destination.
