When I was studying, I was fortunate enough to visit the international market in Busan. But I didn't know there were so many sad stories there. I remember seeing Busan in the early days of the armistice at the Busan Municipal Museum. In the black and white photos, the place is devastated, the people are naked, and the whole city is in ruins.

The Dexiu in the film condenses the stories of everyone in that era, because the war family was broken and his wife was separated. The film mentioned finding relatives who have been separated for many years in the south. In fact, there are more people separated from the north and south, and these people can only bring The nostalgia for the homeland and the attachment to finding relatives gradually grow old. When I saw this, I suddenly remembered "Treasure Island One Village". When I can't make a choice about the surrounding environment, but I have to survive, I can be homeless everywhere, and my heart is my hometown. When the parting came suddenly, Dexiu's father told him that if his father is gone, you, as the eldest son, are the backbone of the family, and you must support the family. From the urchin who shines shoes to support his family and rushes to eat chocolate on the street, to the white-haired old man full of children and grandchildren, Dexiu has fulfilled his promise to his father.

The country was poor, and men volunteered to work in Germany. After a simple check, it is said that the selection criteria at that time were very harsh, and even 20% of Paide staff were college students. It was these people who earned a lot of foreign exchange for South Korea at that time. Those who had experienced the hardships of war not only supported their small family, but also supported the poor and weak motherland.

In Vietnam, the boy grabbing chocolate on the street and the Vietnamese villagers begging for Dexiu's rescue may remind Dexiu of what he was like twenty years ago, when he was forced to leave his hometown and when he first arrived in Busan. So after the child fell into the river, he remembered that the reason why his sister was separated from his mother and siblings was because he didn't hold his sister's hand tightly, but this time he didn't let go.

Fleeing because of the war, separated because of refugees, gave up the opportunity to study for his younger siblings to go to school, went to Germany to work as a miner because of family finances, and died in Vietnam on the battlefield. Dexiu is also the owner of that era, and even the epitome of the country's half-century history. Dexiu tried his best to protect this family under the torrent of the times. In a twinkling of an eye, there are many children and grandchildren, and in a twinkling of an eye, it is an old age. Dexiu cried while holding the coat given by his father. He carried all the hardships given by history and left all the tenderness to his family. He has long been worthy of his father's. entrust.

    The fate of the little people is to radiate all kinds of changes in a country, and many key points are deliberately added, so it also has more social significance. In fact, the film was not as exciting as expected, but the confession at the end was really tear-jerking, and the tears couldn't be stopped at all. Korean movies are really scary when it comes to sensationalism. In addition, the elderly makeup is actually not very good
