If you can't age gracefully, choose to leave gracefully

Facing the grandson who committed a serious crime but has no remorse, Yang Meizi seemed calm on the outside. Consciousness, she was completely disappointed in the end, and she made a major decision calmly. Either the mother-in-law would not make a move, and if she made a move, it would be a ruthless move - directly hand the grandson to the police. To deal with such a stubborn and stupid young man, I am afraid that only this trick can wake him up, so that he will not continue to harm others in the future, but how many grandmothers in the world can make such a decision? I am afraid that only an alternative woman like Yang Meizi can do it.
One day, I will also get old and have Alzheimer's disease like Yang Meizi. I think I will also hope to choose an appropriate time and a place to yearn for when my will is still clear, and end my life gracefully. Do not bring unnecessary torture and drag to yourself or your family. However, if there is a day, will I have the same courage and determination as Yang Meizi?
I admire Yang Meizi's two major decisions about her beloved grandson and her own life.

    I'm so partial to movies like this so I got five stars. In the face of embarrassing reality, the naive pursuit of truth, kindness and beauty for this old woman suffering from Alzheimer's appears weak and absurd in society. In the powerlessness and absurdity, it appears more pure. I always think that the beauty of older women is incomparable. The director's skill in preaching without revealing a trace is convincing. You can only experience this kind of transparent and fierce appeal, and you don't need to discuss it with anyone.

    Japanese-style aesthetics, quasi-Japanese-style lenses, failed thematic opposition but was saved by a middle-aged woman, or so. Li Changdong understands what is ugly, but he does not understand poetry, just like our audience. Poetry cannot bear the responsibility of the opposite, because poetry itself is indifferent to beauty and ugliness.
