Although developed countries in the United Kingdom and the United States have a liberal and democratic social system and a generally developed economy, the lower classes are struggling just like the lower classes in Chinese society. Ricky asked his son to study hard and have a stable, decent and high-paying job in the future. He doesn't have to work as unstable and work hard as he can without earning money. This is very similar to the thinking of Chinese parents. The people of each country have to face the special problems of their country and society. There is no one-and-done solution. They can only face the real social problems. improve. Otherwise, what else can be done? Expect a violent revolution to completely transform society; the possibility of revolution is too small, and the price of violent revolution is too great; after the revolution, will society take on a new look? I find this idea too naive and utopian. If the revolution does not come, and the society cannot change its face at once, can we not do it? The vast majority of people have to live, and we all have to go on with life, so my current thinking is, for specific problems in real life, put aside those grand idealistic fantasies and vain talk, and gradually in practice. Continuous improvement.

The movie title is not translated properly, it would be better to translate it as "I'm sorry, we blamed you wrong".
