It can be viewed as a family film + historical film

The world is big, but love is found around the corner! After the male protagonist's grandson lost his memory in a car accident, his grandfather took his grandson to ride a bike to retrieve his lost memory and the male protagonist's grandson's childhood growth experience intertwined with the rich plot. The decision to ride is crazy, but the scenery along the way is very good. Most of this drama is about family love, but only a small part of love. This is not a pure romance film, right? There is also a reflection of the social background at that time. Refugees who fled to other countries are as black as crows in the world. I feel that the plot is a bit hard. The two parts can be read separately, and some parts are not explained very clearly.

Some introductions to chess in the film: Backgammon (liù), an ancient gaming utensil is also a board game. It consists of a backgammon board and thirty backgammon pieces. Each long side has a row of twelve "beam" signs, six on the left and right, because of the name Shuanglu. Backgammon is a board game for two players. The movement of the pieces is determined by the number of dice rolls. The first player to remove all pieces from the board wins. The game has evolved into multiple versions in various parts of the world, but retains some common basic elements. During the game, each player tries his best to move his pieces to and from the board. Each time the dice are rolled, the player chooses the best move from a variety of options.
