Situation
Malawi, a place I have never heard of. This movie was shot by Britain and Malawi, which was supposed to be a British colony before. The stigma of poverty and backwardness is deeply embedded in this ancient and primitive land. Today, when the theory of progress is rampant, it is easy for us to think about why we were not born in a "second-generation" family, but we rarely think about Malawi. Many people live in such a country, and many lives are born here.
Before the spring breeze of reform and opening up to my hometown, I was also very young. My grandparents planted the land for my whole life. When I was young, I used ox pears to cultivate on the hillside. My mother's main method of work was also farming. Only my father worked outside and touched the edge of industry and commerce. Although the poverty at the time was not the same as in the movies, my tuition fees were always paid late. When I was in elementary school, my teacher said on Friday that if I couldn’t pay the tuition next Monday, I wouldn’t use it to go to school. I relayed this information to my parents, but by Monday I still didn't get the tuition. There really was no money at home, maybe it was more than 60 yuan. I didn't go to school that day, fortunately I didn't drop out of school.
hunger
In my impression, there is no hunger, there is always plenty of food, but the developmental diet is very scarce. When I was young, I didn’t have milk powder, but in order to satisfy my desire to drink milk powder, my mother gave me starch to drink with water. Yes, it is the starch used for cooking. In my impression, it tastes sweet and delicious. My grandma’s hen lays eggs, I will rush into the henhouse, open the warm eggs, and drink them directly. Now that I think about it, this behavior is almost crazy, but the growth of my body at that time made me need to eat everything crazy. Nutrition. I don’t have lean meat at home. I buy thick pork fat to make lard and fat residue. I use a spoon to dig a bowl. Sprinkle the white pork and a few pieces of fat residue with a little salt and mix it. I eat it directly. Now I don’t eat fat.
obstacle
In such a situation, it is difficult for a person to break through. Because what supports his survival and hinders his development may be the same thing, just like the father in the movie. Everyone who comes out of a predicament is like a fish that climbs ashore from the water and grows feet and lungs. You have not experienced it. It is hard to imagine what kind of imprisonment is placed in front of you. It is not that hard work can change your destiny. Sometimes the harder you work, the worse your situation will be. You have to jump out, have the courage to take an axe and chop the tail of a fish into two feet for yourself, and endure the pressure of being unable to breathe out of the water in the environment. In this respect, I’m still a lucky one, because my parents are all those who are unwilling to escape from failure. They hope that I can try again. On the contrary, I have been under too much pressure. The resistance is relatively large.
path
Applying what I have learned is undoubtedly the road before everyone, but the starting point is getting higher and higher. I grew up with the gradual increase in the requirements of the society for academic qualifications. In elementary school, secondary school enrollment is allocated; in middle school, college students are still a rarity; in high school, 985/211 is guaranteed; in college, employment of college students has become a social problem. You want to stand out, you need higher and higher platforms, and your efforts are diluted in the tide of development. The boy in the movie wants to build a generator by himself, but he cannot be supported in terms of material conditions or knowledge reserves. The key to his success is the small generator removed from the teacher's bicycle. The rest of the idea is relatively simple, and practice can help him solve difficulties. And we have lost this primitive advantage in the development. You must build your own generators, or you are already surrounded by generators. In short, the path you want to break through and change is either crowded or rugged. At this time, instead, I was a little envious of the "Wind Harnessing Boy", and the environment he was in still left him a little room for him to perform.
Feel
People’s experience and perception of this world are always constantly changing. Seeing this movie reminds me of the difficulties I have faced over the years and the struggle along the way. There are also political and cultural aspects in the movie. It's reminiscent, but he doesn't want to go into it. I was poor when I was young, and I was full of illusions and hopes for the future. I have received a lot of love and support along the way, and I have overcome countless difficulties and setbacks. It is not easy to think about a movie now, and I will continue to do well in Japan. Prepare for everything. I hope that the children will no longer experience these sufferings, and that the world can leave everyone with hope and the opportunity to become a "good person".
