The poor people are used to suffering and find that struggling will only make themselves more miserable, so they have mastered the skill of having fun in the midst of hardship. Judging from the pictures shown on the camera, they have their own families and live happily.
An article by Shen Congwen, "Husband", is similar to this documentary. The place where they live is so poor that there is no way out at all, so the simple farmers have to start "drilling".
In the film, the journalist plays the role of a facilitator. She tells the children that their future is full of possibilities; she teaches them photography and takes them to school for education.
However, in this harsh living environment, most of the children have changed very little. The influence of the family on them is too great, and I see the helplessness in the eyes of the journalists. All she can do is that it doesn't stop there. She was very frustrated. After several years of hard work, she only changed the fate of individual people, but I think this is great. Teachers do not have to be knowledgeable, but they must pass on the correct three views to children.
It's been a quarter of a century in my life, and I cherish the people who gave me a hand every time I hit rock bottom. Be it friends, family, or teachers. A single spark can start a prairie prairie, maybe your little heart-warming move has already changed the fate of others.
Education may show you another way, telling you that you have another way of living, but whether you can go on or not depends on your destiny and your disposition.
If you have a heart unwilling to give in, as long as someone reaches out to you, you can also get up from the quagmire.
If you can, please continue to be a kind person in the future. There are too many people struggling in the quagmire in this world.
Finally, I recommend an autobiography "My Sufferings My University". What rescued Zhao Meiping from her boring life was the book, and the book was her best teacher. "What you spend is what she asks for."
