Forgive your parents for hurting you

This movie impressed me the most: it tells the story of a girl who goes from admiring her parents to despising her parents, running away from home to live independently, but gradually realizing the indelible influence of her parents on herself, and finally accepting her parents and her true self.

Parents are not perfect. I want to use this film to help myself find a deep inner balance, forgive my parents for hurting me inadvertently when I was a child, and find a way to admit my natural flaws. But found all in vain. Without time and experience accumulation, I can't jump out of my subjective consciousness, judge my parents and know myself from a third-party perspective.

What's more, at the end of the film, the heroine suddenly dared to admit her identity, which seems a bit abrupt to me. I think the heroine's psychological change came a bit suddenly. In reality, it will take many decades to understand this transformation.

    Growth and departure are equally unstoppable. Those loves, those pains, only we know.

    This is when the last person to be a parent turns out to be a parent. The bohemians in the metropolis, the marginalized people and the migrants in modern society. There is nothing wrong with being content with or sticking to this kind of life, but it is selfish and harmful to force a child to accept a life of inadequate food and fear. Several children later fled. It is not unreasonable to yearn for life. Poor people really can't claim happiness. However, the family is indeed very in love and deeply bound.
