"I used to think that when we grew up, we would become good people, respected and loved. But God doesn't want us to be like that, he wants us to be carpets for people to step on. ”
"How to Be Home" is a film based on real social conditions, the global box office is as high as three billion, and our protagonist Zane is also selected from the slums by the crew, after watching it, you will find that it is not good acting, but the protagonist's experience is painful.
1. Prosecution
Judge: Do you know why you went to court?
Zane: I know
JUDGE: Why
Zane: Because I'm going to sue my parents
Judge: Why sue your parents
Zane: Because they gave birth to me
At the beginning of the story, Zane, as a juvenile offender, is taken to court, but he is thin and says a shocking sentence, I want to sue my parents, because they brought me into this world, and why did he become a juvenile delinquent?
What makes a teenager as young as 12 years old have such a strong denial of his parents, and what his parents have done to attract such resentment from his own flesh and blood.
At the scene of the trial, Zane recounted his tragic experience. His parents had many children, but none of them had ever read, and his parents always treated their education in a non-verbal manner.
2. Family
Zane is the eldest child in the family, and his parents revere natural reproduction, so he has countless siblings. The narrow room was full of children, and the youngest was still sitting on the ground crying. Their family was very poor, so poor that they slept without distinction between men and women, and everyone slept together at night.
Zane grew up in this environment, with almost no smile on his face, and he had the best relationship with his sister Saha, who was a year younger than himself.
One day, Zane found that his sister had come to menstrual leave, and in the eyes of his parents, his daughter's menstrual leave meant that she had grown up and could be sold for a price, but Zane was unwilling.
He secretly washed his sister's bloody pants and then took off his clothes to cushion his sister, trying in a clumsy way to hide the fact that his sister had menarche. Unfortunately, I can't hide my sharp-eyed mother.
One day, Zane returns home to find several men in the house, including Assad, who wants to buy his sister. The parents want to sell their sister for money, Zane and them desperately resist, only to be beaten by their parents, and finally the sister is taken on a motorcycle.
3. Away from home
Watching his sister leave, Zane was very broken inside, he vented his emotions on the road, and the desperate Zane chose to run away from home alone. After a few days of wandering and running out of instant noodles, Zane wanted to find a job as a dishwasher at a restaurant. However, because he was too young, he was rejected.
Here a poor single mother, Tagis, took him in, working several jobs a day to survive, and all she did was scrape together fifteen hundred dollars for a disguised ID.
Behind the life at the bottom, there is unimaginable sadness. From the moment of turmoil, from birth, from the moment they left their homeland, they were doomed to death as duckweed, without roots, without a home, not even a human being, and the most basic rights that an ordinary person possessed were so luxurious in their eyes.
During the day, Tygis went out to work, and Zane stayed in the slum to take care of his son Jonah. Because of his family, he has mastered the skills of carrying children, whether it is coaxing children to sleep or feeding them, which he has done a lot.
Tygis worked so hard that she couldn't scrape together enough money, and her documents were about to expire, so she couldn't do anything about it. So the man who helped Tygis get the fake certificate encouraged her to sell the child to him so that she would not have to pay for the certificate. At that time, Tagis did not agree, but the paper could not contain the fire after all, because of illegal labor, so Tegis was arrested by the immigration department.
Because Tagis wasn't there, Jonah had no food and was so hungry that he licked the ice himself. Looking at poor Jonah, Zane is forced to steal food from the mouths of other people's children and bring it back to feed Jonah.
Zane couldn't wait for Tagis to return, so he decided to look for Tagis. He snatched the skateboards of the other children, then tied a pot, and did so into a simple stroller. Zane dragged Jonah alone through the hustle and bustle of the city, but eventually did not find her.
However, Zane found the person who gave Tagis a false certificate, and learned from him that as long as he had the documents, he could emigrate to other places, and Zane had no choice but to sell Jonah to him. Because he really had no way to do it, so that at least Jonah wouldn't starve to death.
4. Go home
Zane returns to his house to find his papers, and what he is greeted with is not the concern of his parents, but a round of insults. In the end, he could not find a document to prove his identity, and at the same time, he found a thing that made him feel very painful, and his favorite sister Saha had died because of a pregnancy miscarriage.
An enraged Zane took a dagger from a drawer and went to Assad's house to avenge himself, his parents chasing after him, and the people on the road watched in amazement. Zane is arrested and meets Tagis in prison, who cries and asks him where my child is, and Zane gives the police everything that happened.
His mother came to see Zane in prison and brought him some snacks, but Zane asked his mother what she was going to use to make up for Saha's time. Instead of answering positively, his mother told him that he was going to be a brother again, and Zane angrily threw the snack in the trash.
The poorer they are, the more they have to be born, and being born and raised is labor, and they don't care whether their children can receive education, whether they can live with dignity, they only care about whether they can reduce the burden on the family.
However, the result is often more and more poor, they grew up in uncivilized families, encountering conflict will only use violence to solve problems, language violence and physical violence, so that they can not carry out in-depth thinking, even more unable to win in society, can only retract their own circle of life to continue to be refugees.
5. Complaints
In the evening, he learned about a program on unfair treatment of children on television, so he called the television station and said he was going to sue his parents. The phone call was broadcast on television, and Zane said he hoped that adults who could not afford children would not have children.
About his childhood, his memories are only insults, violence, beatings, chains, water pipes, belts... The mildest words he'd ever heard were "gun open, asshole"! He felt like he was just a rotten piece of meat living in torment.
The judge in court asked Zane what he had to say to his parents, and he said out loud, I hope you don't have any more children, or you'll be like me. On the other side, the police found the man who was trafficking in the children, and found Jonah in the corner of the room, and Tygis held the child and cried loudly, and maybe after this time, she would never leave the child again.
At the end of the film, Zane finally qualifies as an immigrant through a TV show, and he takes a photo of his ID with a smile, which is the only time he smiles in the entire film
In reality, Zane is lucky, he was sent abroad to receive education, started a new life, and really hope that every brave child in this world can be gentle, if there is no love, how to be home.
6 Prayers
Just like a news seen yesterday, Liu Xuezhou, a boy looking for relatives in Hebei Province, committed suicide, after leaving a suicide note saying that he was sold by his parents when he was born, and was abandoned for the second time because of the "buying a house" incident after recognizing his relatives. It should have an infinite future, but it has experienced countless pains and hardships.
At a young age, he found his parents in less than a month, experienced joy, reunion, disillusionment, blackout, Internet violence, and the development of things finally left the world with a huge question mark: How did the tragedy happen? Who is legally responsible for Liu Xuezhou's death?
Words of praise can be blurted out, but if you are slanderous, think twice, because a sentence can make a person or destroy a person.
Being born without nurturing is the greatest evil of parenthood! From the moment of its advent, a living being already enjoys the protection conferred by law. Parents who are born without support are not only losing their ethical morality, but also violating basic laws.
Born without raising, raising without teaching, how can it be home? As a parent, you should give your child a bed to dream about, a window for children to look out. If you are not capable of giving your child a complete love, you should not bring him into this world. ---- Tang Leiheng
May every child who comes into this world be treated with tenderness!
