In the arid and water-scarce northwest region, a bottle of mineral water is especially precious. The film "Jug" tells such a story. In this water-scarce region, a bowl of oil cannot be exchanged for a bowl of water, and people have to go to distant puddles to fetch water. Although the water there is muddy, it is the only drinking water in Shiliba Village. In order to get water, the villagers did not hesitate to drive more than ten kilometers.
However, the mother unfortunately fell and injured herself while fetching water. In order to reduce the burden on the family, girls take on the burden of household chores and livelihoods. She went to her classmates to peel almonds and earned only two cents per catty. Despite the hardships of life, the girl still maintains the traditional Chinese quality of hard work. She wanted to buy a new jug for her family, but she couldn't save enough money to buy it. One day, the girl found that there were many more gifts at home. It turned out that people from my uncle's village came to the door and said that they kissed, but the girl was not willing to marry. Her mother persuaded her that she could live a better life if she married off.
It turns out that in this water-scarce area, the good day in people's hearts is to be able to drink water. When the younger brother learned that his sister was going to marry, he applauded. He finally didn't have to be disciplined by his sister anymore. Despite knowing that she was about to get married, the girl wanted to buy a jug for her brother. She finally saved enough money to buy a jug, but the seller told her that there was no more for today. In order to be able to buy the jug as soon as possible, the girl had to pay for the goods in advance.
After returning home, the girl saw the female classmate sitting in front of the door in distress, it turned out that her grandmother was sick and there was no money for medicine at home. After the girl listened, she returned the money for the jug to the seller and handed the money to the female classmate. She believes that everyone will encounter difficulties and that poverty cannot hide the brilliance of human nature. The girl finally waited for her mother's recovery.
However, her uncle told her that her grandfather was sick and needed to be taken care of for a few days. The mother was going to take care of her grandfather, so she asked the girl to take care of her younger brother. The younger brother did not want to be taken care of by his sister, so he skipped school and went to the back mountain. The girl looked around for her brother and accidentally fell off the dirt cliff, crying out in pain. After a day and a night of searching, the girl finally found her brother. The younger brother knew that he was wrong and obeyed his sister from then on.
The film "Jug" makes people realize that people can maintain the qualities of kindness and hard work even in difficult circumstances. The kindness and hard work of the girls infect those around them and also show the importance of traditional Chinese virtues.
