The protagonist is famous for building this windmill. When the host asked the protagonist, he said that he also wanted to build a windmill with more power for irrigation.
Why not fetch water for irrigation? Because the amount of water is limited, crops will definitely be given priority after the problem of drinking is solved, otherwise it will be difficult to get a harvest by the sky in that case.
It is absolutely discrimination to say that Africans starve to death because of laziness. The father in the film also tried his best to rescue crops under the flood, but in such an environment where there is no electricity and extremely lack of knowledge and material, people can only rely on what they can. Everything to rely on.
I live in a rural area, and I heard from my grandfather that it has only been a few years (it's probably more than 30 years) to have enough food and clothing. The previous generation would suffer from hunger in their childhood.
When reading Mo Yan Luyao's novels, I can also appreciate the sadness of that era. It is normal to starve people to death. In order not to starve to death, the grass roots on the entire land can be uprooted, and the bark and stalks can be used to make buns. When the body can't get energy, standing, sitting, or even just raising the head is a kind of torment. The torment of hunger to people is a hundred times more painful than any poison.
The director acted his father very real, and in that environment, the protagonist's parents seemed so open-minded. I am very grateful for this film, which shows the state of people facing hunger. Such an environment is simply unimaginable for modern people. Even though the film is already very realistic, the director has made his own discretion and even gave the most popular film. The successful ending of the criticism.
I haven't found the film source yet. I only watched the up and TED videos of station b. If anything is wrong, please correct me.
