When re-brushing "Wind and Rain Harvard Road", I found that some people on the bullet screen said that Harvard could not be admitted by hard work.
Some people also say that Liz can get a Harvard offer because of her high IQ, and it is definitely not possible to try it for an ordinary person.
Indeed, Liz's father was a very intelligent person himself, and Liz may really inherit her father's high IQ in talent.
But is it just because of high IQ that leads to success?
I don't think so!
I also saw in her that more important than talent was her unconditional love for her parents and the belief that she would succeed.
1.
At the beginning of the film, the mother and sister are robbing money, and the mother wants to grab the money to take drugs, but the sister does not give it.
Because they only have this little living expense left, they will starve next.
The father who was sitting on the sidelines was watching TV as if it had nothing to do with him.
In the final tugging, Liz still couldn't bear to see her mother in so much pain, and gave her the money.
Mom responded with a big smile from her, and After seeing the smile, Liz said, I need that smile, how much I need that smile.
In fact, that smile should have healed Liz a lot. So many times later, she did not give up their home, and I think that smile should have given her a lot of strength at that time.
The second time was that her mother was going to be caught in the drug rehabilitation center, and Liz was even more reluctant, desperately grabbing the car door, not letting go, not letting her mother leave.
In that case, she was still excusing her mother: it wasn't that she didn't want to be a good mom, it was just that she had nothing to give.
Without her mother's care, Liz was dirty, her clothes were not washed or changed, and she was called a "smelly" child by her classmates at school.
But it didn't matter to her.
The important thing is that Mom can come back and we can go back to the way we were before.
But when her mother returned, she did not bring her hope, but told her that they were moving to grandpa's side.
But Liz didn't want her parents to be separated, because she always thought that if she insisted on staying, all the situation would return to the way it used to be.
She had been desperate for their love, so she refused her mother's request and begged her to stay with her.
Mom finally did not agree and left with her sister.

In the film, the father plot is obviously much less than that of the mother, but in Liz's heart, the father and mother are just as important.
Because of the time when Liz was forcibly taken to the shelter by school, Dad was indifferent to the whole time.
But Liz didn't complain half a point about him, she had been waiting for them to get better, for them to come back, to go back to their home on College Street.
The second time Dad was acting as a guardian to prove her arrival at school, Liz and Dad had a conversation:
Dad: I'm not a normal person, if you understand.
Liz: But you came over today. I love you, Dad.
Dad: Don't love me, it's a waste of energy.
From this conversation, it can still be seen that Liz still loves her father deeply, and no matter what her father looks like, she has not changed at all.
It is precisely because her heart is full of love, and her heart is full and plump, that she can have extra love for others.
It is precisely because of this love that she has the strength to face the various difficulties of life and face the difficulties.

The most moving thing in the film is that Liz's mother died, and she jumped on the coffin to feel the tenderness of her mother for the last time.
She recalled the bits and pieces with her mother, and remembered her mother's warm embrace.
At the same time, that moment was also the most critical turning point in her life, and she understood that the beautiful world she was looking forward to could never be realized again.
She suddenly realized that only by working hard to break through could she live the life she wanted to live.
I remember the conversation between Liz and her teacher, David: I knew I could succeed, and I just needed a chance, a chance to climb out of the environment I was born into.
Everyone I know is angry, tired, and they just struggle to survive.
But I know there's a world, a better world, a better life, and I want to live there.
That's the upward belief in her heart, like the one she firmly said to her friend Chris: No, I am, I belong there, Harvard.
It is precisely because of this belief that she will mobilize all the cells in her body, move closer to it, and do her best to complete it.
Here is a quote from Teacher Zhou Fan's book:
Every doubt and denial of ourselves is a split and consumption of the inner self, which greatly reduces our sense of strength.
On the contrary, without doubt and denial, we can have more power to achieve it.

Imagine if we are in such an environment in life, will we look at ourselves and feel self-pity and break the jar?
And then add that it is because of you that I have become so bad.
Blame your parents for not being able to give yourself the life you want to use. Living in complaining every day.
However, what is the probability of having a father like Ma Yun?
Complaining doesn't change the facts, it just makes you look more embarrassed. Strive upwards, and when people live, they must fight against fate.
In the face of repeated adversities and despair, only by continuous efforts can we succeed. Instead of being scared away by yourself before you encounter difficulties.
With faith, hard work, and bravely rush forward! Only in this way can your life have infinite possibilities.
