AGU in the African land and Sansang under the grass house

I just finished reading Cao Wenxuan's work "The Grass House" before watching "Beast Without Borders", and then watched the movie version in 1998. Two children of the same age, with a teaching father, mother and sister, living in a peaceful (or relatively peaceful) village...however, these are two very different stories.
When reading "The Grass House", along with Sang Sang's joys and sorrows, I recalled my childhood life. There were also small twists and turns, but it was full of happiness. Those happy, sad, angry or It's a shameful past, almost everything I've ever experienced. And in "Beasts Without Borders", AGU, the African boy who played tricks with his friends in the title, I can't imagine him going through all this, I really can't imagine it, but I know it's all It's true, there are really tens of millions of AGUs, sleeping in the African jungle with bullets in their arms, only in the night when everything is quiet, looking at a small piece of starry sky in the gap between the treetops, remembering that I once had my parents, There is a group of friends, and there is a home that can shelter from the wind and rain.
We are on the same earth, and we seem to be living in two worlds.
