I have experienced it before I know how painful it is

The timeline of "Tangshan Earthquake" spanned 32 years from the Tangshan Earthquake in 1976 to the Wenchuan Earthquake in 2008. Let Fang Deng, who was still a child, have also grown into a mother.

In fact, I have seen earthquakes in textbooks and programs before, but at that time, in my eyes and in my heart, earthquakes were just an earthquake disaster. It wasn't until I experienced it myself in 2008 that I didn't know what an earthquake is, what it means to shake the earth, and what it means to instantly destroy your family.

So when the movie "Tangshan Earthquake" was released, I watched it with awe. It is undeniable that all the main creators of this movie have worked very hard to restore it to us as much as possible. I went to the earthquake scene and just watched the whole movie. I don't think the movie is suitable for this name, because it does not focus on the Tangshan earthquake.

    First of all, I don't think Feng Tao is using the earthquake to make money. There are always special times when he needs to use artistic means to remember that day for those who have never experienced it. On the contrary, I think this kind of subject matter and content is still worth seeing, not just earthquakes, but more of the blood and water affection. Secondly, the acting skills of the actors are remarkable, they are very devoted and passionate, and in some parts of the scene, I even feel so sad that I almost cried. ~

    People are helpless in the face of disaster. This film successfully moved me, especially when the mother and child were separated.
