In "A Better Life", the father deserves to be loved regardless of whether he is rich or poor.
He took off his father's shoes, put his father's feet on the sofa, and covered his father with a quilt like a real son. After doing all this, he fell into memories. Every time he thinks of his past mistakes and his father's current situation, he feels endless self-blame and remorse. From this moment on, Louis decided to help his father in any way he could.
The next morning, he made breakfast for his father and offered to join him in the search for car thieves. This was the first step in the beginning of the restoration of his relationship with his father.
With the help of other illegal workers, they soon found the hiding place of the car thief. To find the car thief, they needed a laborer to lead the way, with a promise to pay fifty dollars for leading the way. Led by laborers, they came to a simple residential building. They don't know which house the car thieves live in. Just when they were helpless, Louis came up with an idea and called his father on his cell phone. Based on the ringing of their phones, they found a house on the second floor. It is home to a group of illegal immigrants who are poorer than they are. What they didn't expect was that the car thieves had moved out and sold their phones to one of the refugees.
After listening to what happened to Carlos, the man not only returned the mobile phone, but also told him the work address of the car thief. Even though the situation was difficult, Carlos wanted to take out his wallet to thank the refugee and keep the phone for the time being. Even if the other party refuses, Carlos' real intention is to teach his son to be kind to others.
When he came out, he wanted to give the promised fifty dollars to the laborer, but his son strongly objected. Louis thought that since he hadn't taken them to find the car thief, he shouldn't have paid the fifty dollars. But Carlos still gave the money to the laborers, while teaching his son that honesty and trustworthiness are the foundation of being human.
Then father and son took the bus to the restaurant where the car thief worked. But the restaurant was only open at night, so they decided to stay there. When they turned around, they found a horse riding field not far away. This reminded Carlos of the past.
When Louis was a child, Carlos took him to the riding field to watch an equestrian competition. Louis also loves the sport, as if in their hearts, this traditional culture of the nation makes them nostalgic for the memory of their hometown. However, the homeland cannot accommodate the body, and the soul cannot be accommodated in other places.
