In extreme poverty, all morality and decency are gone, only the desire to survive. One is to feed the stomach, and the other is to reproduce.
There are three scenes in the movie that made a deep impression. First, A Ling knocked off her teeth and showed off to everyone. In this environment, aliens could not survive. Second, Chen Ping carried A Ling up the mountain. When Chen Ping turned around, her mother was gone, and she was greatly relieved. Tone, why must the close relatives die by their own hands; and the mother's "ignorance" and "uncivilized" (I don't know how to describe it, I respect her, only a mother like a person maintains the continuation of the village, but I can't go to Praise her, all her thoughts are that this family can continue, so she must go up the mountain, and the girl who stole can only be buried alive.); It is a reluctance to intimidate Chenping, stubbornness to these customs, and more There is a lot of love left behind, but this kind of love is only expressed through her coldness; the third is that it snowed again at the end, and Chen Ping ran back to the mountain again: "Mom, it's snowing", "Mom, are you cold?" , "Mom, it's so lucky to have snow." You see, it is all reluctance and helplessness. Chen Ping carried his mother up the mountain; his son would carry Chen Ping up the mountain, and his grandson would carry his son up the mountain... For generations, as long as poverty is not eliminated and the mind is not enlightened, it will be an endless cycle of death.
