The film "Nobody Knows", based on a true case, tells the story of a single-parent family in Tokyo, Japan, where four young children are abandoned by their mothers and depend on each other.

A single mother named Keiko Fukushima raises four children alone, namely Akira, Kyoko, Shigeru, and Yuki, but in addition to Akira, the other three children are "black children" because the four children have different fathers. They stayed at home and couldn't go to school. Suddenly, one day, my mother disappeared, leaving only 200,000 yen in cash and a short note, and ran away from home.

Without relatives and no reason, no one knows, these four children will begin to face a new life.

The biggest attraction of this movie is to use the form of a semi-documentary to record the real life of this family, and to show the life of the "black child" at the bottom in front of us, without the heart-wrenching and exaggerated performance, everything seems to be so real, as if it happens in front of us, which resonates with us while making us feel so powerless.

In fact, today's Xiaobian introduced this movie, what I want to say is that there are many such "black children" in the world.

In the Philippines, where child abandonment is a very serious social problem, in the north of the Philippines, there is a small city named after the red light district - "Angeles City Angel City", which is a "paradise" for Europeans and Americans to have fun, and is the center of the sex trade. Originally a military base for the U.S. military, after the eruption of the Pinatubo volcano in 1991, U.S. troops withdrew from the area, where women were banned from abortion due to religious reasons ("can't fight and fight, bored to death"), leaving tens of thousands of mixed-race children, and their fathers from the United States and Europe did not want to have anything to do with them.

On the streets of the Philippines, there are many such street children, most of whom have never met their father and were born in slums. If you can get alms, you may still be able to maintain a state of "starvation and not death", which is very pitiful, and as the child adoption policy becomes more and more stringent, it is difficult for a child to be adopted.

Here, children, like adults, need to face the test of survival. Born as human beings, because of their birth, they have to face countless diseases and abandonments alone at the beginning, they cannot escape from reality, should their lives be like this?

Speaking of which, will anyone think that it is understandable for a celebrity to abandon him?

As a father and mother, since they have given birth to children and given new life to their children, they should assume the responsibility of taking care of them, and they should be more responsible for their own actions, and if they do not have the ability to take care of children, they should not have children, otherwise it is really sad that children have come to this world.

Finally, I hope that all children can be treated gently by the world.
