Actually watching Q while chatting, it's not really hard. But for me, wrestling is really without aesthetics and no viewing...The protagonist’s struggle in the path of life is still very touching. The desolate situation can not help but make people embarrass the hero’s twilight, but it is indeed his own clumsy. He smashed everything he tried to fight for, and sighed...struggling for a lifetime without regrets

Darren is the audio-visual guarantee. The extensive use of the scene makes the characters seem weak and lonely + the realism brought by the handheld. When the "20 years later" subtitles were released, I probably knew that this was an old and unreliable story, and it was not only about the old unreliable of the wrestling king, but also the old unreliable of the dancers in the ballroom. The most important thing is the unreliability of the 80s after the 90s. according to. The plot arrangement of the daughter's line is too rough, and the family may not want to talk about it.
