    We will never understand the tenderness of pioneers. Close to a square retro lens, the milk that the cow squeezes out is also human and gentle. This world is becoming more and more magical. Only in the literary and artistic films can the people of China and the United States not break their heads...

    Literary and artistic youths survive in the wilderness, dying of laughter, especially helplessly warm their hearts. Being adored by Margaro, his patience with animals, respect for life, and kindness in human nature all make him look like someone he knows. That kind of "naivety" seems a bit ridiculous under such harsh living conditions, but it is more valuable, and it also makes the story more colorful. Jing Lu also performed well. He is neither humble nor arrogant. He is very much like people in contemporary society who are trying to integrate into the times. It's really two unworthy young people. This kind of friendship is as old and fragile as this forest. It's such a small daughter-in-law to clean the room, wash and cook. The film really captures the forest beautifully. I have never been to such a forest before, and I am especially yearning for it.
