mother is child's world

The first time I saw it, I didn't have children or even married, but I just thought it was a good idea.

Watching this movie again, as a first-time mother, my son just turned six months old, so many new feelings.

Imprisoned in an impossibly small room, the mother lived with her son for five years. Sunshine, air, water, electricity, space and daily necessities are all lacking, only each other and only time.

In this cramped room, the mother tries her best to create freedom and space for the child. Light and shadow is a stage play. Outside the skylight is space. The width of the room is the sports field. Buyers, they even have an invisible dog named "Fu".

He has never seen the real world, but he has a mother, and her mother is his whole world. This world is free, boundless, and like a paradise forever.

Under such a bad and abnormal living environment, the child grows up healthy and happy because the mother swallows the shadow like the sun.

Later, the reporter asked the mother if she had considered giving the child to someone else to raise, so that he could grow up in a normal environment, implying that the mother was too selfish, and the mother committed suicide because of self-blame.

In fact, any mother will do this. Materials and the environment are not necessary for the healthy growth of children. Love is, and the purest provider of love can only be mothers.
