    "Are you friends? Five years later, he will be promoted to university, and you can only work as a toilet cleaner. Ten years later he enters Dad’s company and you are still a toilet cleaner. Fifteen years later, he will be promoted step by step. You are still a toilet cleaner. He will never remember who you are by then." The details are handled perfectly, and the original sound is also very good~

    For a country, this is a period of turbulent regime change; for this child, the righteous priest, the innocent friendship, the scenes of riots, all these will affect his value judgments and choices. After watching too many so-called anti-left movies, this movie seems to have the effect of setting things right. It doesn't matter left or right, what matters is the elimination of violent totalitarianism.
