This is very Chinese

It's suffocatingly real. The characters are very complex and three-dimensional, and the pictures show people's troubles and pains in real life. There are no good people or bad people, only forced people and untrusted people. In the end, everyone is embarrassed. We live in the system and only have to be changed. Children who are educated to be honest and trustworthy have unknowingly learned to use the compassion of others and fail to be fair and just. People who are educated and capable of change have all gone abroad to develop, and only those who are deeply involved cannot change. This is simply a copy of my hometown. Every year, the children with the best grades go abroad and go to first-tier cities. No matter what they do in their hometowns, they can’t do anything. Go to school, see a doctor, do errands, and get a job. . . . . . It doesn't matter that almost nothing can be done by strength alone. When taking a train, you have to stuff money for the flight attendants in order to get a good seat, let alone life-threatening events.
The father who understands all of this can't change it. Only by using relationships can he live better. Romania is chaotic because of corruption, and even more corrupt because of chaos. All you can see is the vicious circle. We know that the other party won't stop doing things because they don't accept the gift, and we will try to give it away with peace of mind. Giving gifts seems to enhance the relationship, but in fact it just turns into a cold amount of money. Feelings have also become frivolous, and it seems that only transactions can make people feel at ease. The trust between people has also disappeared, and only the world is left. If no one follows the rules, there will be no rules to protect our due rights.
I think that the reason why the father always makes decisions for his daughter and refuses to let go is because he believes that his daughter does not understand the world and is a child in a greenhouse. He should live in a civilized country and stay away from this corrupt country. But by doing so, it is precisely to deprive the child of the right to live. There is no improvement in such corruption. If children are not allowed to recognize this ugliness, they will naturally not be able to distinguish right from wrong. Nor will they think independently, and will only be easier to be changed by the system in the end.

Romania can make such a film, I don't know when our country can also make and release such a film.

Graduation quotes

  • Romeo: Eliza, you have to do your best. It'd be a pity to miss this chance. Some important steps in life depend on small things. And some chances shouldn't be wasted. You know, in '91, your Mum and I decided to move back. It was a bad decision. We thought things would change, we thought we'd move mountains. We didn't move anything. I have no regrets, though. At least we tried...
