On September 15, the film "The Determination to Runaway", adapted from a true story, was released. The prototype of the film is Su Min, an aunt from Zhengzhou who has attracted a lot of attention before. In 2020, at the age of 56, she decided to "run away" and start a self-driving journey alone.
After 4 years of "running away", what kind of life did Su Min live? "The Story of an Ordinary 50-Year-Old Aunt", Does It Deserve to Be Presented on the Screen?
How happened to Su Min after she ran away?
On September 24, 2020, Su Min left her home in Zhengzhou and drove all the way south. At first, I only planned to go to Chengdu and Chongqing to visit my old classmates, but then I really started the "let me go" mode, and traveled to most provinces and more than 200 cities across the country.
As described in "The Determination to Runaway", the situation of the protagonist Li Hong, 56-year-old Su Min relied on his retirement salary of more than 2,000 yuan to pay for fuel and travel, cut down on food and clothing, and slept in a tent tied to the roof of the car. Su Min also began to insist on filming her self-driving life, on the one hand, she recorded, and on the other hand, she saw that some people on the platform made money by making short videos, and she also hoped to make some money to subsidize travel expenses.
There was a video that suddenly went viral. That's why Su Min told why she traveled by car, told that she and her husband have been married for 34 years, and they have been in the AA system for 34 years, and they are still being picked every day as a free nanny. The video was transferred to the Douyin platform by netizens and exploded. Su Min's daughter reacted quickly, and immediately registered a Douyin account for Su Min, and successively opened accounts on other platforms, and changed her name to "50-year-old aunt self-driving tour." ”
After discussion, the family formed a small team, the son-in-law was responsible for business docking, the daughter was responsible for video editing and account operation, and Su Min was responsible for providing self-driving materials. In the video, Su Min "shoots as much as she wants", she learned to operate a drone, and she can also shoot with two GoPro cameras at the same time.
In March 2022, through her own efforts, Su Min took out a loan to buy an RV, and in the video she released, she choked up at the camera: "I finally have my own RV, and I finally have my own home, a home that belongs to my name......"
It was also the Mid-Autumn Festival of this year, and Su Min, who had been away from home for two years, returned home. And in the video posted by Su Min, the first thing her husband said when he came in the door and saw her was, "Do you still know to come back?" Can't get mixed up, can it? Su Min decided to divorce.
In mid-July 2024, Su Min released the progress of the divorce, "After analyzing with the lawyer, if you go to court, all the property of me and him will be divided in half." No matter what grievances I have been subjected to before. The biggest problem is not that the money is half of him, but that the ownership of my account is also half of him. This is unacceptable to me...... This account is the proudest thing in my life. After negotiation, the man has been paid 160,000 yuan and signed a divorce agreement, "160,000 yuan, it is indeed a lot, I am nothing more than working hard, but I am free, I no longer have to worry about him kidnapping me with morality in the future." ”
△ Su Min posted comments from netizens under the divorce dynamics
"Does the story of an ordinary 50-year-old aunt deserve to be made into a movie?"
"That's what it feels like to be seen."
On August 20, 2024, "The Determination to Run Away" was officially announced.
On September 15, on the day of the movie's release, Su Min released a new news about a self-driving trip to Yangpi Cave in Guizhou, telling about his 4-hour hike to see the waterfall, "If I had never stepped out of the house, then I would have thought that the street in front of my house was the world." In the first half of my life, I saw thousands of lights, and in the second half of my life, I had a long world. ”
In the comment area of the video, many netizens shared their feelings about how they and their families just finished watching the movie:
"Auntie, today I went to the movies, I like it very much, I feel very deeply, I am very glad that I came out of the besieged city, even if the days of coming out are very hard, but compared to the previous days, I prefer the present, although it is fortunate and stressful: but peace of mind, the moment I came out with the child, I have never been afraid."
"Eldest sister, I watched "The Determination to Run Away"! I cried, and I was relieved! You're so good! Take care of yourself, it's really good to be good yourself! ”
