Simple happiness

Chickens become goose when they grow up, gooses become sheep when they grow up, sheep become cows when they grow up... After the cows, the steamed buns will grow up. Airplanes... Then, ah, the days are getting better and better. The above two paragraphs were spoken by Fugui (Ge You) to his son and grandson (mantou). The first paragraph was for his son and the second paragraph was for his grandson. They are full of hope. I have read a lot of them. Everyone compares Yu Hua's original novel with the movie, saying that the novel is more shocking, because the people around Fugui in the novel eventually left Fugui one by one. I haven't read the novel, and I don't want to read it in the future. Why do you have to be so cold-blooded What. I like happy endings, even if the happy endings are a bit fake. What's more, the ending of the movie is still very real, just the rest of the family eat together, simple happiness.
