"Life is your own and has nothing to do with others"

"no one knows"

Every time I comfort someone, the routine I use is to be miserable, citing a lot of living examples such as serious illness, suicide, murder, etc., and try everything.

Based on true events no one knows, a single mother who had four children with different men, then moved to meet a new man, told them her mother was going on a business trip for a while.

My mother had instructed that, in order not to be discovered by the neighbors, the three younger children without registered permanent residence could only spend time in the house every day. In fact, they also want to be able to eat well, to wear clean and warm clothes, and not to sleep together; they also want to go to school, make friends, and play games with other children; Together, they are very happy.

Days go by, from autumn to winter, from winter to summer, the poverty of life, the scarcity of material, the loneliness of the soul, the cruelty of the reality is only part of it. For a child, nothing is more painful than waiting for a long time, but even so, they are still waiting with hope.

In fact, mother will not come back, she has abandoned them for her own happiness.

One day, the little girl fell from the chair and couldn't contact her mother. Without money for treatment, they could only watch the little girl die. After burying their little sister, they still survive as before, eating food that is about to expire when they have no money to eat, going to the park to pick up when there is no water at home, and sleeping without electricity at night...

The rhythm of the whole movie is very slow, and the way of telling the story is also very life-like, that is, moving forward slowly in the plain running water.

One day in the future, will they go to the orphanage? Will there be good people who know their stories and help them? Will the mother they have been waiting for suddenly come back one day? They leave this world one by one because of illness, what will happen to their future, no one knows...

Watching this movie reminds me of "Summer of Kikujiro", a child who was also abandoned by her mother; thinks of the movie "What is Home", who only gave birth but not raised; thinks of a missing girl in Hangzhou, how I hope you can grow up safely.

I especially like children, and I used to dream of opening a kindergarten with them every day, but I feel more and more afraid of getting married and even more afraid of having children. Pessimistically speaking, I am afraid of taking responsibility for her, and I am afraid that I have no ability. I'm afraid that I can't protect her well, I'm afraid that I can't give her a good education, I'm afraid that I will start prenatal education while she is still in my womb, and then start a lifelong competition.

However, if I finally prepare her to come into the world, I will also tell her that life is her own, and that it has nothing to do with others, and I just want her to be healthy and happy.

So, I am thinking that every time we are unhappy, most of it is when we encounter setbacks in the pursuit of fame and fortune. The most important thing is to wake us up through a miserable way, to have good health, family happiness, and inner peace. Don't get lost in the quagmire of fame and fortune. Look at these children, they have nothing, but they are also living a positive and hopeful life.
