    The plot is good, but the details in some places are not handled well, overall it is okay

    The details are a bit bad, and there are also problems with the explanation. However, I still like the story. The pattern is gradually expanding. It is about a person's spiritual recovery and redemption, which is also the redemption of a family. A larger point can reflect the redemption of the entire nation.
