The gist of the movie is: a French talk TV host George receives several boxes of videotapes of his family's life, which reminds the host of the bad things he did in his childhood - the Algerian long-term worker of his parents' farm, who disappeared because he participated in the French parade in the 1960s. The Lord adopted the long-term worker’s son Ji De. George was afraid that Ji De would take away his parents’ love for him, so he told his parents that Ji De was often coughing up blood and frightened himself with an axe. For the opportunity to receive a good education, he can't find a good job when he grows up, is poor, and the next generation does not have a good education, while George received a good education since he was a child and grew up to become a social elite, Gide felt very unfair, So Gide's son took revenge...
Here, the long-term worker on the farm is a metaphor for immigrants in French society; the farmer hires long-term workers to work, and the analogy is the demand for colonial labor in France's post-war reconstruction, so a large number of foreign immigrants were introduced. The farmer's son is worried that the long-term worker's son will take away the love of his parents, which symbolizes that the local young people in France are worried that their immigrant descendants will take away their job opportunities; the farmer's son uses unfair means to frame the long-term worker's son who was adopted by his parents. That is, the unjust rejection of second-generation immigrants by French society; and the lies, anger, hatred, and suspicion pervading the entire film are also a common reality in French society...
This film was shot in 2005, in France in 2017. Even the entire European and American society, because of the unemployment wave caused by the financial and economic crisis, the conflict between the mainstream white society and the descendants of immigrants has become more intense.
Does China have this problem? In fact, there are, but it is not the conflict between foreign immigrants and natives, but the conflict between locals and foreigners, the conflict between the original residents of the city and the migrant workers and the second generation of farmers. This is also the ant tribe. , Diaosi, and the deep-seated reasons for grassroots culture.
Local people in cities like Beijing and Shanghai are prejudiced, discriminated against and excluded from foreigners everywhere.
Urban development requires a lot of labor.

But most migrant workers cannot obtain urban hukou, and cannot enjoy the public resources such as medical care, education, pension, and provident fund bound to their hukou. Now, the descendants of farmers have grown up and want to gain a foothold in the city. , settled down, but found that they could not afford housing in the city even after two generations’ lifetime efforts, while the original residents of the city generally owned two or three sets of housing, and the farmers in the urban villages could be demolished to get rich and get something for nothing...
If there is a serious accident in China The economic crisis has led to large-scale unemployment. Unemployment affects farmers first and foremost because of lack of good education opportunities, lack of local social connections, lack of good jobs, lack of five insurances and one housing fund, the need to rent or repay mortgages, and farmers who do not have long-term contracts. Workers (temporary workers), second-generation farmers, all kinds of unemployed outsiders, migrant workers, theft and robbery cases will increase sharply.
