Written in the rainy season of parting Nanjing

I watched this movie in two nights. After listening to R&B for two nights, my ears were overwhelmed by black music. In fact, it's not just my ears, but even my heart jumps with blue music. RAY has pursued the highest realm of music all his life. What we see is talent and talent, and we also feel the ups and downs of his life. Leaving a single mother, suffering from an eye disease, and coming to the city alone, I am afraid that I relied on the words of my mother in my heart. On the road of life, he is a lonely traveler, so he will rely on drugs and female companions to cope with the terrible loneliness. Even in the final scene of the film, he is still held high by his mother.
