After watching "The Children of Yellowstone", the change in the hero Hogg's mind made me ponder a question: under what circumstances can things be done?

Hogg is a top student at Oxford University. As a reporter, he used someone else's pass to risk his life to the front line of the war - Nanjing. As a journalist, he stayed true to his ideal - to capture that precious moment with his camera and show it to the world. But as Jack Chen said, this is a "Luxury Dream", he chose to do a lot of work that should not belong to him, such as mechanical work, teaching and farming, etc., and even took on the role of guardian of more than 60 children. , in the colorful war, they were safely transferred to the place of Shandan. He succeeded, overcame his own psychological barriers, stayed to help these children, and chose to persevere in the midst of countless setbacks, which was especially touching to me.

In the movie, it was said that it was an unsafe time. A woman who did not even have a professional qualification as a nurse was sent to the front line to protect the lives of countless soldiers and acted as a surgeon and other roles; a top student at Oxford University became a nanny for more than 60 children; a West Point Military Academy student Students, became part of the guerrillas. The fate of the three people is intertwined because of the war, which is interpreted and sublimated. They did a lot of meaningful things in those unsafe times.

Today, we often lament the unfavorable times and the poor environment, just like the two male protagonists in the film "have a dream of luxury". However, we often lack the courage and determination to overcome all odds and persevere. Maybe it shed some light on us by watching "The Children of Yellowstone."
