I was a bit messy after reading it, but in retrospect, the structure is very good. The child’s birth mother is also the setting of a strong woman. From the dialogue between her and Glory, it seems that she is really a friend of Glory, not just a part of the cover of Glory’s life. Li has a reason not to leave the child casually; in addition, there is also the human nature that Glory retains, which allows her to put down her cat and take the child away in a critical moment. (Being company with cats and hating children is one of the manifestations of Gloria’s distrust of others and lack of security.) But a stable life is also difficult to give up. This is the first half of Gloria’s resistance and behavioral contradictions. , The reason for the delay. Glory was not sure whether she wanted to fight forever from now on, and she had been desperately desperate for this child, so she didn't buy a train ticket for the time being, but stayed again. After discussing whether to defeat the organization and whether to confront the organization, she made the decision to fight forever, and finally used face-to-face negotiations and personal relationships as the ultimate means.

The problem of the attitude and level of the gangster, I feel that it corresponds to the problem of Groli's attitude. At first, it was light and wanting to move the mouth. Later, the band of thugs who had been experiencing the suppression by Groli began to wait strictly, but the above Not only didn't the people know, but they were also bewildered by Glory's role that women usually play in the mafia. The absence of the police may feel like abandonment of the script, or it may be the fact that this is the same thing as the internal affairs of the mafia, and the reasonable setting is that the police are absent. Lack of knowledge(

In fact, I feel that there are some bad reviews and "confusion" because I don't know 1. For Glory, it is the child to save, and the notebook is only a tool; 2. The organization not only needs the notebook, but also "requires" the child; 3. The Mafia's view of Glory is very condescending, slow and rigid.

Acting skills are also very good. Needless to say for adults, children can be said to be reluctant or just right. All the places where he feels maddening and blunt constitute his image. He is a somewhat smart but far from precocious child. He didn't realize what was happening for the first time. When he realized that he Panic, he wants to pretend to be an adult to calm himself down, he wants to make his own decisions, he also wants to continue to rely on, he doesn't believe in himself.

ps really like the title! I really like passersby! The soundtrack that escapes through the back kitchen is amazing!

The ending is not "once and forever", but they will always struggle between life and death, they will always struggle.
