Change may not be for them. Incomplete care and help, for the weak, sometimes hurts. There are people around me who help the children in the mountains. When they use the ability of money to take those children out of the mountains and come to the city, the children get a strong short-term happiness after giving up their inferiority complex. The relentless stimulation makes many people not want to go home. Most of them will flee to the city because of the lightning bolt of happiness in childhood. It is difficult for them to become city people when they are unarmed. Living on the fringes of the city is more painful than the countryside, especially mentally. The huge drop made them suffocate. There are many people who become devils because of more people.
Good documentaries point to the light. Even in the dark. Life in the red light district is not overly rendered. The vague expressions on the children's faces, their prophecy and restless performance, all indicate their dissatisfaction with the environment. But I was happy for those kids when I watched this movie. No one used them as experimental instruments. Photographers want to change their fate, not interfere with theirs. Their pictures are proof that they can be helpful, they have yearning, sadness, insight and need. The experimentation of photography first ignites their inherent dream ability and power, and it is with the support of such power that they become the masters of beautiful photos and the shining part of the documentary.
