I see

My father, who is over 50, has been a leader in a business organization for many years, but he has only one dream in his heart: he retires, opens a small restaurant, sets up a small wok, and cooks for the people of the world. This is his circus plan. My mother and I always thought that he would rent a small door face in a corner of the city and open a small shop. No one thought that he would take my mother and me back to our hometown resolutely, drew the drawings by himself, built a restaurant of 300 to 400 square meters, and greeted them every day, selling fish in the Qingjiang River next to the restaurant.
For Dad’s dream, both my mother and I sacrificed. My mother had to abandon her life in the city, she couldn't go to the square to dance after work, and she couldn't party with her old friends often. The hands of playing cards and doing SPA are now more of carrying plates, pressing calculators, counting money, and finding money. As for me, I could have a good night's sleep and be a eldest lady on the basis of my father’s previous business. Now I have to leave my hometown and go out to work. I only know how warm and cold I am.
Didn't my mother and I blame Dad, both overtly and secretly. We don't understand why Dad has worked so hard to start a business at this age. For this career, he almost took his life.
After watching this movie today, I seem to be able to understand my father. There is a fire in his heart, and life is a huge adventure for him. And what we need is 20 seconds of courage. It’s a bit difficult to grit your teeth, and a little bit more courage, it’s sunny to survive. The protagonist in the movie has ushered in his sunny day, and my parents and I are still fighting desperately at the bottom of the valley. My hope is that in the future, I can walk out of the trough and usher in a sunny day of my own, just like the movie said.

  • Benjamin Mee: It is what it is.

    Mr. Stevens: It is what it is. Sometimes you don't know what it is until you see what it is, you know? Once you see what it is then you can figure out what it is. You understand?

    Benjamin Mee: No, but we can move on.
