The director's foreshadowing is worth thinking about

Watching "No One Less", a movie from eleven years ago, is still thought-provoking. I have to sigh Zhang Yimou's feelings.
After being reported by the TV station, Mr. Wei's search attracted attention. Some people donated money and materials to the school. Zhang Huike was brought back to the school to teach. At the end, the children wrote on the blackboard with the donated colored chalk. Doubt, is this the end? Didn't solve any problem. Zhang Huike's family is still struggling. His mother is sick and has no money for medical treatment, and he cannot pay his debts. He may eventually have to drop out of school. The fate of the future is still worrying. There are still so few teachers in the school, the quality of teaching is still not high, and the educational environment of those children has not fundamentally changed. The director's foreshadowing is really good.
If you think about it carefully, the reality may be like this, how else can you take it? Who will be convinced if you want to take a beautiful picture? The problem has always been there. The poverty in the mountainous area and the backwardness of local education exist objectively. The director wants to tell everyone that this problem is not a column report. If it attracts attention for a while, donating money and materials can fundamentally change the reality of the backwardness of education in the mountainous area. This requires great efforts from the national government and every member of our society to change the reality.
bring some improvements to their lives. First of all, if you have money, donate money and help in material things, so that the living and education environment in the mountainous area will be better. Then there must be someone willing to go to the mountains to teach children to be teachers and improve the education level of local children. Of course, the most fundamental solution to the problem is for the state to help the mountainous areas get rid of poverty economically. This is what attracts people to stay for a long time. We can't imagine that every mountain teacher is as selfless as Luanke, because most people have concerns in real life. Only by guaranteeing the lives of teachers and solving their practical difficulties can they stay at ease.
I fantasize about a magical power that can make young people run to the mountains with courage and dreams just like running to a big city. What is this mysterious power? It may be the real power of the country, the generous treatment and institutional guarantees it can provide. Of course, there is also the sympathy, sense of responsibility and lofty ideals that are far away but should not disappear in the hearts of the young people of this nation
