Destiny is like a river

It is about as a volunteer, in various poor and war-torn places in the world, what they saw, what they did, their experience, and their emotions. This film gave me an insight into the lives of people in another corner of the world. State. They live in war, hunger, disease, and natural disasters. They can't see the hope of life. They live in the shadow of death at any time. Learn more about these conditions, which is for us now living in a peaceful age. People at least will cherish life more and love life more.

The heroine in the film is a person with a very good life, the family is rich and happy, the husband is rich, handsome and humorous, the father-in-law is still a big official, and she has a pair of lovely children; but she still resolutely gives up these, She rushed to the front line in person, where she found what she wanted in her heart and had been searching for it. Of course, the price was high. His husband had an affair, and she fell in love with another volunteer.

Life is inherently strange and full of choices. You can make yourself materially strong, but you live in an empty, degenerate life every day. You can fight hard for something trivial, and your face is red; of course you can also choose another one. Although the road is uneasy and life-threatening at all times, your mentality is enriched, and your spirit is satisfied in the process of helping people. The roads are different, but the ending is the same. There are gains and losses, but it lies between your thoughts. That's it.

I still admire the volunteers in the film. They are great. The reason why they are great is that they can live in a comfortable and safe environment. They also know that the cause they are engaged in is dangerous, and they also know that they are They rescued very few people, but they never gave up their efforts and sometimes gave up some of their principles.

I went to watch this film at Angelina, but after watching it, I was thinking about how to change this tragic situation in the film. Take a stand to change the number of deaths or reduce some suffering. The African side alone is a bottomless pit. If they do not practice self-production and save themselves, no matter how you help, no matter how you fill it, it will be difficult to fill it. It is better to teach people and fish than people and fish. This is the right way.

I think the root cause of poverty in some parts of Africa, Cambodia, the Middle East, Chechnya, etc., is the war. Only ending the war and forming a peaceful, stable and strong government is the root cause. I think many people have this problem. They are all understood or clear, but why are they too late to figure it out? I think this is the result of political struggles. The governments of every country are not good people. They have their own interests and ideologies. They are not charities. In their eyes, their own interests are the fundamental. For them, the life and death of others or the life and death of the country is just a pawn, and only use value. It's a good thing.

Another point I want to return to the cultural level. Culture is a country, the root of a nation, the existence and accumulation of culture, it is easy to develop human intelligence, popularize people's knowledge and people's knowledge, it strengthens and consolidates people's existence of a nation Sense and identification. my country has also experienced wars, many of which are foreign invasions. my country may be the country with the most wars in world history, but we have not perished. History has always continued. This is also the only one in world history. We are merging and we are moving forward. This cannot but be attributed to the continual change of culture. It is full of vitality and supports the giant of the Chinese nation to move forward. But it is a pity that the countries mentioned above, such as Africa, are in this respect. Very weak. They do not have enough advanced culture to support their integration, provide them with enough talents, and spread the wisdom of the people to all people.

Sometimes these topics are too heavy to talk about, and they will only add endless sighs. But this is not what the strong should do. The world is originally a place where hell and heaven coexist, and we have seen imperfections. , We have seen the unfairness, we need to do it, like Nuwa patching the sky, bit by bit, although this is trivial, but we do our best, the process is more important, and the ending is not within our grasp.

    If you have been in Ethiopia, if you don't have so many stealing chickens and dogs, you will be speculative...

    The topic selection is quite fresh, and it is about international rescue organizations. Ethiopia, Cambodia and Chechnya in different eras have left traces of the love and work of the male and female protagonists. The political connotation is quite strong. Over a period of 20 years, any place that has been swept by communism needs rescue organizations to act... The plot also involves a little description of the rescue organization's involvement in espionage work, and the attitude is frank. The three different locations have obvious differences in the main color tone, but the difference in color tone does not match the mood of the male and female protagonists. The first two paragraphs also focus on the rescue work, and the third paragraph completely becomes the male and female protagonists. The life and death are separated, so this film is quite strange, it is still a big story background, and then tells an old-fashioned romance story. An unhappy combination~ This is nothing, the key is that the two just met, and the stinky Owen found an opportunity to talk to Julie, and Julie was moved by this simple statement, and became more and more convinced in the years to come. My marriage is ruined... This script makes the characters unattractive

Beyond Borders quotes

  • Sarah Jordan: Perhaps we are all refugees from something, but I see now there is nothing to fear, that the world we hold onto, the lives we cherish, are a part of something greater, something more. When I look at my children I see it so clearly, that hope, that chance of life, and I know it's worth fighting for.

  • [first lines]

    Sarah Jordan: I wonder, do we all know where we belong? And if we do, in our hearts, why do we so often do nothing about it? There must be more to this life, a purpose for us all, a place to belong. You were my home. I knew from the moment I met you, that night, so many years ago.
