I give 5 points

I grew up in a small town in the north. When I was a child, my mother taught in a nearby rural area. I often ran to play. There were not many students. There were only dozens of students in 5 grades. Multi-class classes. All the children were in the same classroom. Here, first give lectures and leave homework to several children of the same grade. Then I will tell the other few that parents have a simple respect for knowledge. Every time they know that the teacher’s children come, they will hold apricots, duck eggs, hazelnuts and other things to send me to school.

I saw the loess house in the movie, the bulky and crude table, the mottled blackboard painted with a layer of ink, the flagpole, and the jagged but sloppy legs of the children standing at attention. I laughed, knowingly, warmly, sadly.

Later, the country changed its policy. All elementary schools in small villages were merged into the town, and many of them became my classmates. It should be said that most of my classmates are children from farmers, and now, with a decent and stable identity, they can take root in less than ten miles in better cities.

Most of them work hard and are very sensible.

However, God-given conditions and vision kept them at the foot of Yanshan Mountain and continued their hard life in monochrome.

As I moved and grew up, I gradually got used to the hypocrisy and brilliance of the city. When I went back to the town last year, the elementary school has changed. Siemens and the Japanese donated money together to build a school that is as good as a city model in terms of hardware. It stands out abruptly in the low bungalows around it.

I sat under the brand-new marble statue and watched the poorly-dressed children still reading the text aloud in the classroom, lying on the ergonomic desk and chair.

I don't know what will happen to them in the future, but I hope this material change can help them more or less, even though this change is only superficial.

I saw in the comments that some people said that this film had affected the image of China, some said it was Zhang Yimou's inferior sensationalism, and some said that they were not interested in rural movies. Well, I shouldn't have said anything rationally, because everyone has their own thoughts, and we can't control other people's affairs. Moreover, this is reality.

However, when I experienced all this, saw all the inherent inequality, innocence and hypocrisy, when this film touched my memory so terribly and cutely, I couldn't remain indifferent. Even though I can't change, I still want to yell at these people: fcuk u!
