A story of dog loyalty and heartwarming hearts.
The professor's daughter wanted to raise another dog after the dog died at home. Although the mother did not agree, the father did not object. A friend just sent an Akita dog, it lived in the professor's house, and the professor gave it to him. Named Aba. After his daughter got married, the professor's love for Ba was even more intense. He caught lice for him, took him to bathe, and even brought him home on a stormy night to spend the night, which also caused the hostess's dissatisfaction. Ah Ba goes to the station where the professor rides to pick up the master every day, rain or shine. Unfortunately, the professor collapsed in class one day and never woke up. Ah Ba witnesses his master's funeral, and he screams in pain, breaking the chain and chasing after his master's hearse. Even though he knew that his master would never come back, he still went to the station every day to wait for his master. Although the hostess gave Ah Ba to others several times, Ah Ba would run out and return to the professor's original residence, waiting for him to return from get off work every day until Ah Ba froze to death in the winter station.
Based on true events, a dog is a friend of man, and its loyalty is beyond human understanding.
Ah Ba's barking in the mourning hall, and several scenes of Ah Ba chasing the hearse, could not help but burst into tears. Humans would be ashamed if they were so sincere. At least many of the people in the film don't have the temperament and loyalty of Ah Ba. It's a pity that Ah Ba just got a little fame by being published in the newspaper, but he still freezes to death outside the station in the end, which is extremely sad.
I've also seen the American version, but I'm not impressed. It is said that that one more highlights the loyalty of dogs, while the indifference of humans is rare, so I have to review it when I find time.
