We are all rolling on the wheel of history.

In the year of 911, I was in my second year of junior high school. When the plane hit it, it was after 1:00 am (approximately) Beijing time, and my father and I were in the living room and bedroom with two TVs, one large and one small, on. At that time, I first saw that the bottom of DTV started to roll the subtitles, saying that a plane crashed into the World Trade Center in the United States. After a while, the news of DTV or DTV reported the scene in real time. In my impression, my father and I saw the moment when the building collapsed on the news for the first time. In addition to being shocked, we were still shocked.

So maybe this is the reason. I was quite surprised to see that many people in the brief comment disapprove of this history and have no emotion for this movie. Because 911 left a very deep impression on me, even if I really want to say, 911 should be the first time that I really feel like I am experiencing history. But at that time, including before today, 10 years later, my emotions were nothing more than that. I just felt good about the number of more than 2,700 victims. Many people died. It is difficult for me to understand how much the number of more than 2,700 carries. I believe that it is difficult for the vast majority of people who grew up in China, where people are worthless, to have an image concept.

At the beginning of this film, I also chose it for the purpose of being curious and greedy for audio-visual effects. Wanted to see the plane hit the building, wanted to see the whole process of the building collapse, so yes I was disappointed. 2/3 of the whole film is shrouded in darkness, in the ruins. But just because of the opening sentence "based on the real experience of the survivors", every episode in this film can't help but move me, because the collapse, the ruins, and the reinforced concrete slabs were pressed under the reinforced concrete and watched the fire ball fly. Throwing over but unable to move, finally approaching the victims who were hysterically praying to God, the faces that collapsed, or the faces that were anxious, patient, numb, and finally collapsed, and even the joy of hearing the sound of rescue when they were on the verge of despair. Ruo Kuang, the joy and praise of life who was relayed to the end of the light in a sound of encouragement and blessing, the feeling of surviving and being able to get together in the end with the thoughts of the dearest loved ones-because of all these Everything has actually happened. I am fortunate to have not personally experienced that catastrophe, and I am fortunate to be able to witness the greatness of this life and humanity!

Thank you to the director for having the courage to shoot America's Mourning. No matter which side of justice history is on, it needs to be remembered.
