May the world be at peace? May the dead rest in peace?

Faced with the word war, I seem to have never felt the depth of it since I was born, and sometimes even feel that some of my misfortunes are caused by socialist peace. The demand is getting higher and higher, and the dissatisfaction with the current status of life is more and more caused by peace. When I was a child, I hated studying, and even naively thought that if one day there was a war in my own country, I would not need to study. However today I think I was terribly wrong...

This hyper-realistic war documentary records the struggle between the Syrian government and the anti-government people. Although I was deeply in peace in China, I did not understand these issues. From my own personal point of view, where there is oppression, there is resistance. , everything is opposites, but at the same time it is unity, I believe that one day, the whole world will be at peace, no wars, no air strikes, no bombs, no gunshots, no refugees...

In fact, as human beings, we are just a tiny speck of dust in the vast universe. But even a tiny speck of dust will have its meaning.

Rousseau once said: "All men are created equal", but this equality is based on peace. Where can there be equality without peace?

The scenes in the movie that impress me the most are almost all related to family and maternal love.

The first picture is that the mother who lost her child said to the child who was killed: "Mom brought you milk, wake up soon", a carton of milk may mean nothing to me, but to this mother , but it can be used as a medicine to save children.

The second picture is of a nine-month-pregnant mother who was hit by a bomb, and the child in her belly had to prepare for birth in advance, and the process was extremely dangerous. Through the doctor's constant battle with death, and the blessing of God they believed in, they heard the baby cry from the once breathless child, and finally the mother and child were safe. It really made me feel the smallness of life at this time...

The third picture is of adults taking their children to graffiti on the dilapidated bus in the war-torn city, so that their children have a unique color in such a war-torn and gray childhood , the children are very happy, with smiles on their faces, imagining how good it would be if it was like this all the time...

In the fourth image, a group of young lads gathered around the wreckage of a bomb dropped on them by government forces, instead of crying or frustrated, they smiled and said: "We can use it to keep warm, the president uses I bombed us, but he still hurts." This optimism makes people look distressed.

The documentary filmmaker is called Akatib, a journalist, her husband is a doctor, and they had their child during the war, named Sama, which means sky in their place, and the child is Akatib's hope, she said everything she did was also for the children. She hopes for a future where there is no air force, no bombs, sun and clouds and birds... but no one seems to understand their group of people who are fighting against the government.

I was thinking about why the situation in the Middle East has always been unstable, so I checked some materials on the Internet and got a preliminary understanding of some relevant information. Since 2011, the civil war in Syria has never stopped. The government troops are supported by Russia, while the anti-government organizations are supported by the United States. This also reflects the antagonistic relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union, but as a bystander, I am also true I think that my motherland, China, has done well enough to provide medical supplies, living supplies...a full combination of humanitarianism.

I can't help but remember that the first Opium War, the beginning of modern Chinese history, began in 1840, and China's society began to undergo earth-shaking changes. Opium, war, poverty, death... these are all things that China has experienced. In the long river of history, no country can go smoothly. Only when we treat the world with kindness and gratitude, and face the hardships in life with optimism, positivity, and hard work, can we live in a short life. Make yourself beautiful. Finally, may the world be at peace, and may the dead rest in peace!
