The Abandoned Baby Incident of Sugamo (from the Internet) A woman and a man gave birth to a son, and the three lived together. The man told the woman that he had gone to register their marriage and children, so everything was legal. When the child was six years old but had not received a notice calling the child to go to primary school, the woman ran to the relevant unit to ask, only to find out that the man had lied to her.. Neither the marriage nor the birth of the child is registered, they are not married at all, and the child is not naturalized. At this time, the man also ran away from home for another woman and never came back. So a woman's life took a dramatic turn. In the following eight years, she continued to give birth to another boy (age unknown) and three girls (ages seven, three, and two at the time) with different men, and none of the five children reported their hukou; When I go to work in a department store, my eldest son takes care of my younger siblings at home. One day in 1988, she left the children to her eldest son, who was 14 at the time, and went to live with another man. During the six months when the child was taking care of the child, the woman would occasionally call home and ask the eldest son to come out to meet. In addition to asking about the situation at home, she also gave the child a small amount of money by the way. About six months later, the landlord found out that there were no adults in the house and reported the incident to the police, which brought the incident to light. The police found the body of a little boy in the closet of the child's house. It should have been sick and died before, but the mother didn't deal with it, just stuffed the dead child into the closet (you can imagine how smelly this house used to be) . At the same time, the police found that the youngest sister was missing, and as a result, the body of a two-year-old girl was dug up somewhere in the mountain. How it happened, the details are not very clear, but most of the sayings are that the little girl stole the instant noodles that the eldest son's friend A left at their house because she was hungry, and friend A was very angry. Decided to punish the little girl; A kicked the little girl to death like a ball on the spot (the eldest son was also at home at the time, some say that he also participated in beating his sister, but he just ran off to watch TV after playing for a while), so the eldest son was at home at the time. Son and friend B took the little girl to the mountain and buried it. In the end, the mother seemed to have seen the whole incident on TV and thought it might be her children, so she came forward. She was sentenced to three years in prison (but suspended for four years), and her eldest son, 14, was convicted of causing death by wounding and abandoning his body, and was sent to a juvenile correctional institution. Friends A and B were also sent to different places. training institutions. When the other two little girls were found by the police, they were extremely weak and had poor growth and nutrition. They were taken back by their mothers afterwards. In 1988, in a house in Nishi Sugamo, Tokyo, people found a rotting child's body and three dirty children who had been hungry for many days. Duck abandonment incident. Shi Yuka, who had just graduated from Waseda University that year, also saw the news, so he began to write the script based on this incident, which was completed that year. Fifteen years later, however, the filming of the film began. In the middle is Zhi Yuhe, who once made a documentary on the TV station, made three movies, and changed his life several times, but the Xi Sugao incident has never been erased from his memory. So there is today's "Who Knows the Heart of a Child". Although the style of the video is so beautiful and the smiling faces of the 4 children are so cute, the hopelessness brought by the story is deeply soaked in every minute and every second, plus the protagonist is a child, where is a "plastic bag in the wind" style. My family, where is my future depressing, it took me 3 periods of time to slowly digest this piece. Japanese movies have always liked to shoot the face towards the light, and the fluff on the face can clearly see the hazy and beauty brought by it. In this movie, it seems to try to write the good side of it. But no one knows that it is for the indifference of the society. This kind of indifference does not need the help of style. Just watching the step-by-step development of the story is enough to make people feel the same. The beautiful style, on the contrary, brings some deceit, "Is it really like this?" It's not just talking about things, but halfway through the film, the older girl who joins is about a middle school student. On the one hand, the family seems to be good, but she skips classes and sits in the park all day to do nothing, and on the other hand, to help a few children , to make money by himself. "I just sang karaoke with me." Compared with the mothers of these children, the problems of young Japanese society, such as deep valleys and deep pools, cannot be bottomed out. At the end, it is hope and hopelessness, the light notes of reminiscing, the re-formed family of 4 people, and what kind of society will face, it is hard to forget things easily.
