God made. It's almost like seeing my hometown. The countryside in Guizhou is like this. There is a snake in the house. Everyone said it was the old master. After the old man died, he was buried on the mountain. It was called Shangshan. The name was exactly the same as in the movie. I happened to have an elder who was also a bachelor, and everyone looked down on him at that time. Every year if the crops are not so good, they will worry about eating. One family just can't eat enough, so they go to find someone to borrow food. My uncle's family gave birth to more than ten daughters just to have a boy. No one likes her daughter very much. When I was young, my parents often told us how wicked other people’s homes are, how eccentric grandparents are. After grandparents die, I won’t be sad at all, just like someone else. I remember that in the mourning hall at that time, my sadness was all pretended to be. But my dad is really sad. I may be abnormal and feel nothing at all. Maybe it's never been taken by grandparents, no feelings. Since I was little, I have only been hugged by my grandpa a few times, and I was scared when I saw my grandma. She was always stern, never hugged by her, and rarely talked to them. The family is as poor as in the movie. The house is a wooden house, muddy ground, and it often leaks on rainy days. Some people occasionally have snakes running in, and then everyone will say that the old master has returned. What makes me happiest when I eat is when I have white rice. I usually eat rice only when there are guests and Chinese New Year. I like to carry a bowl of rice and eat it dry. The more I chew, the sweeter it gets. Seeing this movie is like seeing my small village, the same isolation, the same cruelty with warmth. Those who are unacceptable and feel uncomfortable looking at them, your life is so good
