In World War II, the signalman Alyosha accidentally destroyed two German tanks, and the generals received him. The nineteenth Alyosha said shyly: "Actually, I was very scared at the time." The general said boldly: "How good it is for our soldiers to be as scared as you."

The general wanted to report to Alyosha to apply for the medal, but Alyosha suggested that he did not need the medal, but could give him family leave to allow him to return to his hometown. He said: "Mom wrote a letter saying that the roof of the house is leaking." In the end, the soldier got a special six-day leave, so that he could go home and help his mother repair the leaking roof.

From here on, the movie is all about Alyosha’s journey home. In fact, we can also say that this is a road movie defined in the movie textbook. All the stories are on the way, but Alyosha’s story happened in On the train.

Alyosha has the innocence and bravery unique to young people, as well as optimism and helpfulness. He helps veterans who have never met with disabilities to regain their confidence and send them back to their hometown. When the soldiers hug their lover affectionately on the platform, Looking back, Alyosha hurried to his next train, too late to say goodbye to the soldiers.

Alyosha passed the token of love to the comrades who met by the water. It was two pieces of soap saved by a company. But when he found the hostess who was receiving soap, he found that the hostess had changed her heart. Alyosha, who had left and went downstairs, ran back to the hostess's residence, knocked on the door vigorously, and retrieved the soap. The hostess leaned on the door and said to him: "Please don't look at me with such eyes, you are too young." Yes, Alyosha is young, and the simplicity and persistence of such youth make people embarrassed.

Like Lei Feng in China, he helps everyone he meets, and he does not hesitate to waste his precious time on the road again and again, but he is different from the image of Lei Feng in China, he is childish, he smokes, He argued loudly with the veterans who didn't believe that he could destroy two tanks. He was like every child next door we could see, or he was like us once.

Our Lei Feng has no love story. What a pity this is a hero, but Alyosha does. What is more wonderful than meeting love on the road? Alyosha and a girl met in a closed military vehicle. From misunderstanding to understanding, from friendship to love, it sounds a bit clichéd, but the psychological changes of the two people are portrayed in detail in the film, although it only takes a short time. But it made me believe, yes, this is love.

Along the train, there are houses destroyed by war. Accompanied by the rumble of the train, the soundtrack of the movie ranges from the intense movement when the two met, to the slow relief, to the melancholy when the two finally parted. When the breakup came, the train ran faster and faster. The girl ran along with the train. In the end, Alyosha still did not hear the address of the girl. Under the long lens, the girl walked away alone on the long platform with her head down. Alyosha stared out the window blankly, and in the murmur of the violin, something broke to the ground.

Alyosha continued his journey alone. The train was bombed by German planes. He rescued many people from the burning train. Seeing this, I already think this is a very common thing, because for Alyosha, This is quite normal. And for everyone, it should be normal to help others. In Dustin Hoffman's "Heroes of a Big Story", the hero said after saving someone: "At the time, I didn't think about anything, because everyone would do it back then."

The time left for young soldiers to visit relatives has become less and less. He once promised to the general that he would return to the army on time, so when he returned to his hometown, he had no time to repair the roof of the house, so he could only give it to his mother. In just a few minutes, then we will re-enter the road to the army.

The mother working in the farmland heard that her son had gone home and rushed on the way back to the village. At this time, the scene of the film running with her mother was moving to the extreme, and emotions accumulated little by little with the shaking scenes. The mother finally rushed to her son's side, and the two hugged tightly. All the music and background sound were gone, only the mum's choking sound of joy, she stroked her son's face lightly.

"You have a beard? Alyosha."

"Yes, mother."

"Have you learned to smoke? Alyosha".

"Sorry, mom, I have to go now."

"Alyosha, you will definitely come back, I did not wait until your father comes back, I must wait until you come back."

"Yes mom, I will definitely come back"

Alyosha deeply kissed his mother's cheek, under the sun, The young boy's eyelashes are so long and long.

The soldier who destroyed two tanks alone, the soldier who helped many people, the soldier whose mother waited day and night, never returned.
