The changes of a family show the changes of the times, and the small sees the big, but it is a pity that the narrative is too bland, and it is easy to lose its profound influence. Maybe I did not fully sink my heart to see...

All friendships break down when one of them gets rich. People can share hardships because they have no choice but rarely share joys. Time is so ruthless. Eventually every one of us will fade away and no one will even remember...

Meet on a narrow road in my own time, and then grow old
We, calm and stubborn, meet the narrow road of our own time. But I want to be nostalgic for the sound of the night clock, grandma's thoughts all day long, and run counter to the fashion of young people and the freedom of modern times.

Sam Krichinsky: I came to America in 1914 - by way of Philadelphia. That's where I got off the boat. And then I came to Baltimore. It was the most beautiful place you ever seen in your life. There were lights everywhere! What lights they had! It was a celebration of lights! I thought they were for me, Sam, who was in America. Sam was in America! I didn't know what holiday it was, but there were lights. And I walked under them. The sky exploded, people cheered, there were fireworks! What a welcome it was, what a welcome!

Sam Krichinsky: Who's this? Who's this Jules Kaye?
Jules Kaye: That's me, Dad. I changed my name.
Izzy Kirk: Me too, I changed mine to Kirk. It's easier to say that Krichinsky. Kirk, it's better.
Sam Krichinsky: Who said names are supposed to be easy to say? What are you, a candy bar? You got a name! Krichinsky! It's a name! Kaye. Kirk. Two cousins, different names. How can this be? How can this be a family? When the father's called Sam Krichinsky, his son is called Jules Kaye and his first cousin is called Izzy Kirk. This is a family, God damn it! Krichinsky is the name of the family!
