Sorry we missed you To Ourselves

I don’t watch many British movies. The narrative style of the film is very realistic. The story is that the male protagonist strives to make progress and wants to improve the living conditions of the whole family. The express delivery is delivered 14 hours a day, which leads to conflicts within the family.

sorry we missed you is a note that was not delivered to the customer on the courier bill, and it is also a sigh for not being able to accompany your family.

Even if there is a wife who can share, and there is no elderly person to support, a middle-aged man is still not as good as a dog, but he can at least expect to spend 2 years to buy a house and support 2 children to grow up.

I saw that most of the film critics sympathized with the decline of Britain and the hardship of the capitalist people.

What I have in my head is what the same story will look like in China. The courier brother is open all year round, and the annual income is 300,000 yuan. As for whether he can reconcile with his family's life and accompany his children to grow up, sorry we missed you too Our society has not considered this at all, I have seen too many couples living apart for work, and children being fostered by elders. Don't tell me that chicken babies are common, they are just a group of people at the top of the pyramid, with a huge base similar to the post of the courier brother, they can only be the energetic little brother forever? They will also have families and children. Even if we work more than ten hours a day, as fathers, we do not want to miss the growth of our children. In the end, I just want to say that China is developing very fast. This is all earned by the time and sacrifice of the grassroots workers. The evil old capitalist Britain, it is also very hard to be a courier there, but the same situation is the same as ours. Benchmarking, I think our early days may be more difficult.

After all, if you deliver 14 hours of courier every day, you can buy a house in a big city in 2 years, and at the same time support 2 children to go to school and live, and you can go home every day with your wife and children. Oh, by the way, our middle-aged men may still have 4 elderly people to support.
