The first half of the film is a poetic pastoral life, with picturesque scenery, towering mountains, gurgling water, and rolling wheat waves; the love here is sweet, the couple from acquaintance to marriage, full of chance encounters, enjoying The sweetness of love; the life here is quiet, the small village is like a paradise, everyone helps and loves each other, and lives a simple life.
Sometimes, I think, this is the paradise of my dreams, or this is the rural childhood I have always missed. My hometown is also a hill in front of the village and a small river in the back of the village. The neighborhood is harmonious and everyone lives peacefully.
What makes us lose these beauty, sometimes not only war, but sometimes our minds, our desires, war is a predatory violence that brings endless disasters.
However, now that there is no war, we still give up this poetic beauty. Even if there is no war, we publicize and forget some things, and we still have desires, so we abandon the beauty of our hometown and come to a strange city to work hard.
Do you miss the feeling of waking up in the sun when you are busy and have no time to sleep? Do you think of the tranquility of the country road when you are in a traffic jam on your way to get off work?
