Even as poor as a squirrel in winter, you can be so happy that you don't feel it at all.

I used to be proud of my life in the "modern". I used to laugh at the backwardness of ancient people's lives. I used to be proud that I could enjoy TV movies and high-rise buildings, cars and subways. The pace of my life is high-speed. Phone calls and emails can deliver information quickly, while cars, trains, airplanes, and ships can save time. Can save a lot of "unnecessary" journey time.
However, this kind of life makes us more and more tired. In the boring work of going to get off work every day, we feel confused from time to time. I fill up my time, work, study, and read. I keep improving my ability and I want to make more money.

But I found that I am more and more envious of the people in the movies who lived in the past and were "backward". Although they are poor and busy all day, they are not tired, they are not at a loss, and they have sustenance in their hearts. Have faith. If you have a question, you can ask the pastor to answer it. You can ask the priest for enlightenment.
The poor Tevey family is happy and harmonious, so they are spiritually wealthy.
The butcher of the rich has no worries about food and clothing, but is lonely and spiritually poor.

Of course, the poor will complain from time to time and look forward to becoming rich. There is nothing wrong with pursuing a better life. So, Tweet said to the sky, "God, you have made many poor people poor. I know that being poor is not shameful. But it is not honourable. Would it be that bad for me to have a little money? If I With a little money, I can hang around all day long. If I have a little money, I don’t have to work hard.”
He said to God,
“You always hear me complaining, but like us poor people, I can still Who complains."
"They work very hard. Although they are as poor as squirrels in the winter, they are so happy that they don't feel it. Moport kept saying that he wants to get a sewing machine. Can you help him get a sewing machine? Like. You shouldn’t be looking for such trivial matters. You have been very busy. Wars, plagues, big and small things are looking for you. "

Society is developing vertically, but people are not evolving. Every generation lives what they think is reasonable. Of course, everyone has the right to pursue happiness.
Just like Tvey expects to become rich,
Although Tevey's daughter does not have a dowry, she hopes that the matchmaker can help her find the Prince Charming in her mind.
Although the butcher is as old as
Tvey, he hopes to marry Tvey ’s daughter, Mobot, the poor tailor, and he wants to marry his love-loving Saiduo and Saiduo, and he
also hopes to marry Mopot

when Mopot is finally inspiring Courage, proposed to Terra's father, Saiduo also expressed to his father that he only wanted to marry Moport.
The second daughter, Eve, also wants to marry Federa, the tutor who she loves.
The third daughter even wants to marry someone who has a different religion from her.
These are all challenging taboos, but the enlightened Tvey ultimately respected the happiness of several daughters. Because he knows that, most importantly, Saiduo loves him. What can we do, times have changed. It's different. "
Although Tvey has also gone through complicated ideological struggles. He loves his daughter, but he must insist on his belief, tradition!
He said, "How can I accept them, how can I deny my belief? "
Speaking of which, how can I deny my daughter?" "
How can I betray my faith?" My compatriot? "

Seduo and Moport, the poor tailor, have a happy relationship. The carnival of everyone at the wedding. It pushed the film to a climax.
People who love life. Dance can express their enthusiasm.
Although there are various taboos, people’s hearts There is enthusiasm in it, and it needs to be released. Eve bravely grabbed Feide’s stretched hand at the time. Everyone said to Tweed in surprise: "She is dancing with a man!"
Tweed It was messy, and he fought back excitedly:
"No need to say, I can see, she is dancing with a man! And I am going to dance with my wife."
But he also has enthusiasm in his heart, so he took his wife to join him.
Later, the authority of their faith, the pastor, also joined them.
Later, everyone joined in.
But there is no way, because they are Jews. In that era, they were destined to suffer cold eyes and be expelled. Therefore, during this carnival feast, the sound of the officer smashing the bottle with sticks was completely disturbed.
The duvet that the bride's parents gave to her daughter for her wedding, feathers flying all over the sky, telling their sad fate.
This is fate, and conscientious officers are also helpless.

Faith allows them to question their lives, but they are still full of confidence. So a young man said: "We have waited for the Savior for a lifetime. Isn't it a good time for him to save us?" The
pastor replied, "We have to wait for him elsewhere."

Yes, life must always be conceived. hope.
