Counting down the more than 100 screen names I have changed since last year, this "UMA" has been used the longest.

Friends who have a Leo always jokingly call me "Wu Ma", "Wu Ma, go and call the eldest wife to dinner", "Wu Ma, see if the young master is back?" Shocked

by Leo's leadership temperament, perhaps because of Gemini He has no personality, I will always accompany him to perform, "Master, the eldest wife can't come back after working overtime. She asked me to tell the master that the young master will go to school tonight and won't come back for dinner" and so on. These tricks, we all have a lot of fun. When I meet a new friend by chance, I have to explain for a long time, I really am not surnamed Wu, and I am really not his housekeeper and nanny.
In fact, nicknames with English letters are the most difficult to catch fire, difficult to recognize and pronounce, and the Chinese will block them if they don't want to. But I love the name, even if it's misunderstood as being Mongolian.

I stole the name from the Spanish movie "After All About My Mother". It originally belonged to a middle-aged female star, the face of a foreigner, placed on a billboard, with the beauty of a man. I like the long pronunciation of U, and when I read it, there is a sense of confusion and loneliness as the years pass by. With the dust and tobacco, through many lights, there are many stories in the eyes, not crying but also sad.

Later, I kept watching this and that director's play, and found that my favorite was this story. A single mother witnessed her son being hit and killed by a car on his 18th birthday.
After the son's death, the mother cried aloud. This episode was criticized by many netizens as shallow. But I felt it was appropriate. Perhaps the Chinese people have implicit emotions, and the peak of sadness is to hold back silently after the extreme sadness. But such a piercing pain, even so much crying, cannot be fully vented. Only those who have truly lost their loved ones can understand that kind of pain.
At the beginning, the protagonist is half dead. How can you play in the future?
This is a movie about pain. After the traumatized mother donated her son's organs, she returned to her hometown alone. The taxi rides through the tunnel, and she returns to the history she wanted to escape. She was going to tell the son's father herself that you had a son, but he was dead.
Who the father is is a mystery that the son does not know until he dies.
"Your father was a woman." No, he was just a male prostitute with fake tits.
The director revealed the mystery in the cleanest way. Leave a huge shock to the audience. It's risky because it irritates the audience too easily. Especially those who are unusually rigid about gender.
The woman who lost her child is facing an unforgettable past. Transgender and change-hearted husband. Not only that, he cheated, extorted, beaten, promiscuous. When he was in trouble, he also destroyed the angel-like Cruz, passed AIDS to Cruz, and made the nun pregnant with a child.
Can anyone be worse than this man? Could there be a worse love? However, even if the man puts on fake breasts, it is still fatally attractive. If you don't understand this truth, then please look at the women around you who have delayed their lives for the prodigal son. Is it still feelings that can't cause harm?
Simply we still see the less cruel side. My mother worked hard to live, even though it was painful, she was looking for joy in life. So we see that there are a lot of transgender people who are surrounded by people, but they can still face it humorously. A nun who wants to give birth to a child even though she is too big. The lover is addicted to drugs and still loves the female star who can't extricate herself.
So behind the pain is love. How do we face the huge unstoppable love, there is only one way out - "believe"!
