"No One Can Be Missed" is another masterpiece of realism by Zhang Yimou after "The Case of Qiu Ju". The film uses a bland and documentary approach to reflect the education problems in rural China, showing the backwardness of education in impoverished mountainous areas, and calling on the whole society to pay attention to the "Hope Project". Almost in the way of a documentary film, it presents a touching story to the audience with a real and simple performance style.

Simple and true touching Wei Minzhi sang a song "Our Motherland is a Garden" when she showed her "talent". Her clumsy, ridiculous but not timid personality was well displayed through body language, making the audience A knowing smile. And when she taught the students to sing, she kept forgetting the words, interrupted, and even taught a sentence. When pronouncing, the flat tongue and the tongue are not distinguished, which is particularly true. Authentic details are always particularly moving.

For 50 yuan and becoming a teacher, Wei Minzhi felt that from the beginning, Wei Minzhi took the class for 50 yuan. When Wei saw that the classmates were so united and helped them, he bought two bottles of Coca-Cola with the six yuan he earned from moving bricks, and then he took one sip per person. When taking turns tasting... Finally, Zhang Huike wrote "Mr. Wei" on the blackboard. Maybe Wei Minzhi felt the feeling of teaching and educating people, being a teacher, and the holiness of the title of teacher and great self-satisfaction.

Purpose of Compulsory Education Compulsory education is universal, compulsory, and free school education implemented uniformly for all school-age children and adolescents in accordance with the law. It is the basis for improving national quality and the starting point for realizing social equity. Accepting compulsory education is a basic right of citizens, implementing compulsory education is an important responsibility of the government, and supporting compulsory education is a common task of the whole society. Through the method of documentaries, the film makes everyone pay more attention to the education problems in poverty-stricken areas, which is plain, real, and touching.
