Grandma Meizi, reminds me of Yu Xiuhua, is it always necessary to have a frustrated life to brew a moving poem. I think yes, happiness is always a momentary pleasure, only pain and sorrow are eternal. But it is in a tragic life that a poetic flower can bloom, a belief in beauty.
Grandma Meizi always dresses herself up beautifully. Even if she is living in poverty, she has her own perseverance. That is the real belief. She lives with her grandson all the year round, and her daughter went to Seoul. When she learned that she was suffering from Alzheimer's disease, her correspondence with her daughter was also good news instead of bad news. Sun Tzu is a mediocre person, living a life of eating and waiting to die every day, until he committed a crime with several classmates, gang-raped a female classmate and made her commit suicide, but he was insensitive. This touched Meizi's heart, she was in pain, she wanted her grandson to respond, but in exchange she was indeed indifferent.
In the end, she painfully chose to pay tribute to the girl with a poem, and handed over her grandson to the police. The film also revealed the darkness of society. The teacher concealed the girl's death, fearing that it would affect the school's reputation. Although the girl's parents are suffering, their family is poor, and they have a younger brother who is going to school. They are also willing not to appeal for the expensive compensation. This reminds me of the parents in Carnival again. Seemingly the most economical option, survivors will receive generous compensation but lose their human dignity.
Life has been unsatisfactory recently, all kinds of problems have emerged one after another, and we have dealt with all kinds of troubles with anxiety. Often resentful, cynical, and lamenting social injustice, but we also know that life is the process of solving problems, and it will always go on helplessly. The world will not change, only the human heart can adjust. In the face of those tragedies, we must also bravely pursue the good.
In such a life, Grandma Miko chose to use poetry to redeem her. She will cry because she can't write poetry, she will feel nature, she will record her feelings, and she will find hope in pain. In despair, it is fortunate that there is art as beautiful as poetry, giving people consolation. Life is really difficult, and it is rare to maintain innocence in a difficult life and believe in beauty.
