The soul is upward, never dusty

Life is dressed in a warm coat, and Xiaoqiu, who is earning tuition, uses the most primitive capital, and people in the joking and scolding tavern are drunk for their desires. On the brightly lit Tokyo streets, that old and thin figure touched my heart.

One after another, the voicemail was playing, the driver turned his head frequently, and Xiao Qiu stared out the window with empty eyes. In this city, the closest person is not someone who can talk. At first, Xiaoqiu resisted and refused. She wanted to see her grandmother, but in the end she gave up. Why? Maybe she is still afraid of offending the boss, maybe she is afraid to see her grandma, as long as she doesn't see her, then she can still be as beautiful and pure as her grandma imagined. This was the first time she was deceiving herself.

Once you tell a lie, in order to make a lie, you must keep lying. At the beginning of the film, Xiaoqiu's boyfriend Xianming suspects her. Xianming cared about Xiaoqiu, but they were not from the same world. He didn't enter Xiaoqiu's world at all. Even so, he still wanted to marry Xiaoqiu. He thought that marriage was the way to enter her heart, and he said that she would not refuse. No, oh, what a powerful word, how sad, even in today's society, some people think that women are inferior to men. Xiaoqiu found out that the old teacher and her boyfriend had met, and she was more and more worried that her boyfriend would find out her secret. The old teacher comforted her by saying that her two grandfathers, one was a fisherman and the other was a teacher. She listened, and this was the second time she had deceived herself.

In the end, her boyfriend discovered Xiaoqiu's secret. The beaten Xiaoqiu asked the old teacher for help. The old teacher took Xiaoqiu back to where she lived. During this period, an old woman thought she was the granddaughter of the old teacher, and she recognized it. Perhaps she now thinks the old teacher can protect her. Until the furious Xianming shattered everything. The reality also emerges in the audience's mind little by little...

Xiaoqiu tried her best to cover up her other identity, she longed to live like other students, but she should have known from the beginning that everything would not be the same as before, starting from the choice of exchanging her body for money How can everything be the same?

After watching the movie, I just feel very sad for Xiaoqiu. She is already a college student, why didn't she choose to use her knowledge and ability? If people are single-minded, they can definitely be higher than the previous starting point. Maybe not so much money, but at least it won't let life be covered with dust and miss those love and beauty.
