Every day, I go to school with my schoolbag on my back.
In Suzhou at that time, the school was often not far away, just through one or two alleys, and there was no need to take a school bus; the social atmosphere was not so bad that parents did not need to pick up and drop off. In Suzhou at that time, there were still alleys made of stone eggs. Stepping on the angular stones, the soles of my feet hurt. I always carefully avoid these stones and try my best to settle along the sand and mud on the side of the stone road. On rainy days, I really couldn't walk in the muddy ground, so I had to endure the pain in the soles of my feet to go to school.
During recess every day, I was firmly pinned to my seat, not moving. The children were running and laughing from the playground, and I was the only one sitting alone in the classroom. Everyone is accustomed to my quirky classmates, and they don't take it offense. They don't come to ask questions. What would a child be like without a playmate? A monster like me.
I never run or run, and I suppress my urge to jump and jump all day; I count my steps every day, the bigger the better, the less the better, so as to delay the fate of the soles being worn out.
Yep, I'm wearing a pair of open-soled shoes with only two thin layers of fabric left!
My shoes are all stitched by Mommy herself. With ten fingers, she is not good at doing this kind of work, and her hands are often tied up with thick wax-soaked sole threads. And no matter how hard she tried to raise the cloth on the soles and tighten the threads of the soles, the cloth shoes and cotton shoes she made would wear out within half a month of wearing them. I didn't say a word, and walked carefully counting my steps over and over again, giving up playing on the playground between classes, because as soon as I told Mom that my soles were gone, she broke blood again.
So, when I saw the Iranian movie "Little Shoes", how shocking was it? !
Tell someone: I am that little sister. He said he was so sensible at such a young age? Don't tell the adults?
Will do. I say.

Without my experience, I may not feel the same way, a pair of shoes, now we wear shoes for granted, how important it is for an active child!
I was once detained in a hyperactive body because of a pair of shoes with soles. By the time I have a lot of shoes, I have already missed the age of jumping and jumping.
The little sister stared wide-eyed, stood on the playground, looked over with a pair of shoes, that kind of helplessness and envy, I have also experienced such a scene.
At that time, some students would wear cloth shoes with plastic soles bought in the store. The students with good conditions also put on leather shoes and black pigskin. I always silently looked at those shoes, buckled, T-shaped, butterfly-shaped...
Sometimes, with good luck, Dad will find some rubber tires and nail them to the soles of my shoes, so that the shoes can last longer.
But most of the time, I didn't have such luck. My childhood was spent in situations where I couldn't run or walk, but the soles of my feet were empty.

"Little Shoes" is a tender movie. Except for the owner of the food stall who scolded his brother away because his brother was looking for shoes to bring down his stall, and the landlord who disciplined the owner to scold him for leaving school because his brother was repeatedly late, and came to collect rent all day long, there was no bad person to be found. All are upright, kind, and hardworking.
My sister made tea for my dad who was beating sugar. My dad said you didn't give me any sugar. Sister, you have so much candy on your hands. Dad said: This is from the mosque, you can't eat it privately.
Teaching by words and deeds, the younger sister took her brother to the door to "settle accounts", and asked the little girl who took her shoes to "settle accounts", but unexpectedly found that they were more difficult than them, and her father was blind. The two swallowed hard and went back.
The surrounding neighbors are also friendly and friendly. My mother cooked the soup and asked my brother to bring a bowl to the old neighbor couple. The old couple gave back a handful of snacks. They are not valuable things, but they are very human.
The most humane, sensible, and lovely are the protagonists' brother and sister. The classmates kept asking my brother to play, but my brother always shied away on the grounds that his mother was sick. When my sister is at home, I have a few words with my brother, and whenever my little brother is crying, I will rush over to hug him.
The movie compares the crying of the elder brother with the laughing of the younger sister: the father blamed the elder brother for patronizing and not doing housework, and the elder brother cried when he was aggrieved; when he was kicked out of school, he cried; when he did not sign up for running, he cried; As for my sister, my brother gave her a round pen, and she smiled; the blind daughter still gave her a round pen, my sister thought about it for a long time, smiled sweetly, and cleared up her suspicions; my brother was sure to win running shoes back, and my sister smiled, Smile wide.

Although this is a good film with a strong human touch, we can’t help but ask (someone contributed to this sentence, he often quoted it from Mark Twain. But I also quoted it, and he searched for a long time. Also said that I can't find Mark Twain who said this.): Why should such a group of kind-hearted people live in such a poor living environment? Why are you so stretched that you don't even have a pair of children's shoes? Or just one pair? If you lose it, you can't wear it? Want to borrow money to buy?
Iran is a big oil country. The oil-producing country is not as extravagant as Dubai, but the people are struggling, why? The film was shot in 1997, nearly ten years after the ceasefire of the Iran-Iraq war. Although the Iran-Iraq war has dragged Iraq to the limit, it has damaged one thousand enemies and eight hundred, and Iran has also damaged its hands and feet.
The war is indeed unjust, but it is more worth reflecting on, what brought the country into the war?
Although Iran's political system is a combination of politics and religion, with religion as the top priority, it is a relatively sensitive system among the surrounding Islamic countries.
For example, in the film, the father blames the mother for her poor health but she does housework. This is a very normal and warm family. It is not my preconceived religious society, and women have extremely low status. My sister was able to go to school and receive education, which was a big surprise to me. Of course they have male and female branches, but in Hong Kong, most prestigious schools have male and female branches.
Even the media in Iran is considered to be relatively open in a supervised system. "Little Shoes" can be filmed, but "Blue Kite" cannot be played. In this move, "Blue Kite" is not similar to "Blue Kite" and "Little Shoes". "Little Shoes" is a warm film, and there is absolutely no meaning of "Blue Kite" to expose, criticize or condemn. I'm just saying, it's unbelievable that a certain dynasty's harshness towards the media is even more severe than that of Iran, which is a religious country. At least Iranian films have recently been attracting attention in the international film circle.
After reading "Little Shoes", I was moved, but I still thought of the digression, that the common people should not and have no need to live in such a poor life.
But there are always some people who may have benefited in the old days; or they may simply be ignorant children born in the 1990s; or people with amnesia, who forget the pain when they heal their scars; or extreme experience lovers... It is always said that the present is corrupt, dark and indifferent, and it is not as good as it used to be, and I wish I could go back to the Maoist era. For such a person, I think they should say nothing, pack them all up, and throw them to North Korea, or Iran. Let them enjoy a "warm and beautiful" social environment, while their children have no shoes to wear, and run around for a pair of shoes. This is the happy life in their hearts, and it cannot prevent them from pursuing happiness.
As for me, I really enjoy the days when I have a headache every day about choosing which shoes to match.
