I doubt how many migrant workers will go to the cinema to see this film

Just looking at it makes my spine go cold. If there were no pirated copies, how many people like Zhou's father could see this movie?
The film's concern for disadvantaged groups is touching. A wealthy person like Xing Ye, who has a successful career and lives an exquisite life, can make such a film that cares about the suffering of the people at the bottom, which makes people feel embarrassed to pick on them.
But although this film tells the story of migrant workers, it is not for migrant workers. This is for children, for the people who are becoming increasingly numb under the tide of consumerism.
In reality, how many children of migrant workers go to aristocratic schools? In reality, how many people survived a serious industrial accident? How many people got timely and effective treatment? How many people have successfully received the corresponding compensation? !
Reality is not a movie, and there will be no kind and cute alien superpower dogs who will do their best to resurrect migrant workers (often the mainstay of their families) who died in accidents, protect and support vulnerable groups, and it is a living person who needs to pay bit by bit. A work of hard work and hard work. Who has such a big motive to do something that doesn't necessarily have direct and rich rewards? ?
I hate more and more the smug rhetoric that "labor resources are abundant and cheap" as China's advantage! How many blood and tears of migrant workers are hidden behind these relaxed words!

    Dicky: Good morning, sir.

    Mr. Cao: Dicky Chow! Just look at yourself. You're covered in dirt.

    Dicky: [stepping forward] I just...

    Mr. Cao: [stepping back] Don't move. And don't give me the usual routine. Why are you always so untidy?

    Miss Yuen: What's the matter, Mr. Cao?

    Mr. Cao: [to Dicky] Explain yourself!

    Miss Yuen: Let me talk to him. Where did the dirt come from, Dicky?

    Dicky: Well, on my way to school, I slipped and fell over.

    Miss Yuen: Don't your mom or dad bring you to school?

    Dicky: My mom died a long time ago, and my dad's very busy.

    Miss Yuen: What does you dad do?

    Dicky: He's a coolie.

    Miss Yuen: I'd like to meet him one day. Would that be possible?

    Dicky: I don't think he has the time.

    Miss Yuen: When he's available, then. Will you let me know? Go clean up before class starts.

    Dicky: Thanks Miss Yuen.
