I don't know if you have ever experienced such a time.
When I fell very painfully and wanted my mother to comfort me, I found that my mother was not around. At the parent-teacher meeting, other parents came as promised, and their seats went up empty.
The happiest time of the week is when you keep your phone on the weekend. The voice of the parents came from the other end of the phone, asking, "Are you at home this week?" ”
Outside the room came the aroma of steamed rice, and the cries of grandparents: Eat!
This is the life of left-behind children.
Parents come back less than twice a year, live with the elderly, eager for their parents' care, but always understand and comfort: parents work in the city to earn money for themselves, to understand.
So what exactly is the life of a left-behind child? Will they always be sensible and mature, and will they be unable to control their thoughts about their parents?
The 7.6 high-score domestic film "Liu Xia" that I want to recommend to you today can tell you the answer.
The story happened to left-behind children Zhang Hanxiang and grandma. The two live together in the countryside. The house is small, life is light, and there is a taste of dependence.
Every day before dawn, Grandma would get up and farm. The sun rises in the summer and the wind in the winter. Harvested crops are exchanged for money to sustain daily living expenses.
Like all naughty little boys, hansho's things are all things that give the adults in the family a headache: go to the neighbor's field to steal watermelons, crawl on the dirt, play marbles until dark, and if Grandma doesn't go out to shout for dinner, she will never go home.
Han Xiang has a very good friend named Zi le. The two are always inseparable. When Zi Le played with marbles, he lost very thoroughly, and when there was not a single marble left, Han Xiang was willing to exchange his precious jade pendant for Zi Le for marbles.
There was a boy in the village named Xiao Fat, who always showed off the delicious snacks brought to him by relatives in the city in front of Han Xiang and Zi Le.
In just a few shots, the obvious material difference between the city and the countryside is presented, rendering a sad mood...
In the form of "Liu Xia", all the stories in the film are the personal experiences of children, and they really happen in a certain corner of the world. Because there is no deductive experience, the children speak lines like endorsements, which seem to be some drama, which affects the perception of the film.
But even so, the story still gets a good score of 7.6 points on Douban. For a niche domestic film, this is a supreme encouragement. At the same time, it also confirms the audience's concern for the group of "left-behind children" and the social reality of the film.
There are many scenes of children playing carefree in the film: with the arrival of the girls, the boys begin to have a comparison mentality. I don't like it, but I just want to prove that I am the best one in front of girls. To this end, Han Xiang and Xiao Fat officially stood on the "opposite side" and competed with each other without a word. Although Han Xiang always loses to Xiao Fat, he can't stop his desire to show his desire in front of girls.
The carefree lives of children are in stark contrast to the bitterness of adults.
During a play, Han Xiang really fought with Xiao Fat, and also injured Xiao Fat. To apologize, Grandma gave away all the only eggs in the house and took out bits and pieces of money from the tightly wrapped bristle.
Almost instantaneously, the dots in front of the screen were red in the eyes, and they were distressed by Grandma's poor life.
From these two details, the audience can understand that financial constraints are the most important reason for the emergence of left-behind children. Parents must leave their hometowns and go to the cities to work hard, only in this way can it be possible to pull their children out of the quagmire of poverty and go to a wider world.
"Staying in Summer" carries the happy play of children and the poor life of the elderly in the same picture, and the contrast is extremely strong.
The final ending of the story is not revealed.
The only thing I can tell you is: please be sure, bring your own tissues.
Looking at the picture of Han Xiang talking to his grandmother, he cried himself into a pig's head a little bit. He didn't want Han Xiang to become mature overnight and become a little adult who was alone. But there is no way, this is the only way for left-behind children to grow up, and only after experiencing this event can they have the opportunity to meet a brighter future.
Finally, I would like to talk to you about the title of this movie. There are many meanings of "Staying in Summer", which can be to keep the summer, or it can be that the children want their parents to stay, and rural life forces the elderly to stay. Not on any level, it is heartbreaking.
It is recommended that you read this story, perceive the difficulty of the left-behind group in the story, and present the difficulty of "raising children".
If you can't give your child a good life, it is recommended not to have children. Whether it's the quality of life a child should have or the impact on the lives of elderly parents, it's an absolutely unfair thing.
