This movie is the national memory of South Korea, from Xingnan to the Busan International Market,
A small piece of chocolate from the US military in the market attracts many children to chase and fight.
At the same time, a national industry is sprouting, and the modern boss, President Jeong (born in North Gangwon Province, central Korea), wants to build ships and cars.
When I went to West Germany to work as a miner, it was hard to see the mining scene. However, when recruiting miners, the male protagonist moved the interviewer by singing patriotic songs. This scene was very touching.
I went to Vietnam to work as a technician for the U.S. military. Before I went to Vietnam, the radio sound of national struggle was played and everyone stood up. This was more powerful than the religious power during prayer.
In Vietnam he gave the child a piece of chocolate, and the child reminded him of a suicide bomb. In addition, he was shot in the leg while trying to save a girl who had accidentally fallen into the water while fleeing to South Korea.
Then go to the north and south to find relatives.
I really saw the search for relatives in the north and south in the 1980s. There was no Internet. Only the two sides searched for each other with the notice board of the information of the lost relatives. Really looking for a needle in a haystack.
Then go to the TV station to help seek the kind of touching picture.
My sister was adopted by the Americans, which is also a national memory.
This is a nation striving for self-improvement.
The male protagonist lost his father when he was young and was forced to be a father. He went through hardships and sacrificed his ideals to make money and raise his younger siblings.
In fact, there are many memories in China, so I can empathize with them. For example, the eldest son dropped out of school to work and earn money just for the younger brother to go to school. People who were pushed to Taiwan during the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party returned to the mainland to seek after 40 years. After the child was separated, the parents searched for a needle in a haystack for ten years to find someone. More and more Chinese babies have been adopted by Americans in recent years.
