After watching this movie, I want to say what I have to say, it is really heart-wrenching. To be honest I really understand the difference between hearing impaired and normal people, normal people can never really understand the world of hearing impaired. Sometimes I feel unfortunate, I am the only one in my family with hearing loss, I don’t even have anyone who can talk to my heart about hearing loss, and sometimes I feel very lucky because I am not deaf and mute because I am not affected by acquired hearing loss and language. It is only mild to moderate hearing loss, so when you do not wear hearing aids, you experience the world of hearing impairment, and when you wear hearing aids, you experience the world of normal people. My situation is somewhat similar to Ruby's. In the eyes of normal people, I have poor hearing and suffered discrimination, impatience, and unfair treatment. Similar to Ruby who was born in a deaf-mute family, she would be bullied at school even if she was normal. Deaf and dumb people will feel that they are neither inaudible nor unable to speak. Indeed, I still think that even my parents couldn't feel my pain, just as I was crying to get the parents' consent to wear hearing aids, because I couldn't feel it, so I didn't understand why I had to wear hearing aids. Those sufferings include but are not limited to being unable to communicate at a distance, occasionally needing others to repeat several times or raising their voices but still inaudible, enduring unwarranted discrimination from normal people, being misunderstood and being cold because of not listening and ignoring people, Qing affects work and study and so on. From the low self-esteem that the Ruby family often shows, not willing to communicate with normal people, etc., I also have reactions. I was pleasantly surprised by the point of view of this film, I thought it would be the conflict caused by the discrimination of the deaf and dumb by the outside world. I didn’t expect the director to understand the psychology of the disabled so well. It is not the attitude of others that can really overwhelm the disabled ( The attitude of others will definitely have an impact), the real obstacle is the panic and low self-esteem from the heart.
As a hearing-impaired girl, things in the film often make me feel deja vu. I can understand when other classmates laugh at Ruby at school, I vaguely remember that some of my classmates were reluctant to communicate with me when I was in school because I couldn’t hear the whispers; Ruby’s family always relies on Ruby to do business well, I can understand, I want to stay after college My parents in Xiamen kidnapped me and brought me back just because they needed it. I can understand the inability to choose the life they want. I can understand the inferiority and sensitivity of the Ruby family. Strangers communicate because they are afraid of being inaudible and embarrassed. They are more afraid of being troublesome. They have to endure the impatient tone and strange eyes of others. There have been great changes, and I finally put my past suspicions behind me. Let’s do my best to take care of my mother. My family has more understanding and tolerance; Ruby is angry because she knows that Miles, who she trusts, has made the “ugly thing” about her deaf-mute parents known to the school. I can understand, just as I was angry when I learned that my ex broke up with me and explained to others that I was deaf and dumb, so I broke up; the Ruby family went to the Ruby concert to know whether it sounded good or not through the reactions of other people. I can understand the silent world. When I take off my hearing aids, I can only hear a faint sound, but I can't tell whether it is pleasant or not, and I can't know the information it conveys.
I really hope that the society will show more care and understanding to the hearing-impaired people, and that there will be less discrimination and rejection. All have strong self-esteem. It is a pity that I did not meet a kind boy and his family who are willing to treat my hearing loss equally and give me more tolerance and warmth before today. I don’t think I will meet in the future; Hearing loss met a group of brothers and sisters with the same hearing loss. We often chat with each other in the group, encourage each other and comfort each other. The most difficult thing for the hearing-impaired may be social acceptance and self-confidence redemption. Finally, I sincerely hope that medicine can make breakthroughs as soon as possible, and help more and more hearing-impaired people enjoy all the moving voices in the world as soon as possible.
