"Blanca, to be honest with me, are you trying to buy a mom?" Are you stealing because of this, so that you can buy yourself a mother? ”
"Why, I've ever seen adults buy themselves children, just because I'm a child, I can't buy a mother for myself?"
If you've seen this girl's story, you'll be just like me. This is probably the most heartbreaking thing I've ever heard.
Blanca was a little girl of about ten years old, who had never met her father, and whose mother had been an alcoholic for a long time and had simply left her missing. Since then, Blanca has been sleeping on the streets and making a living by begging.
Whenever she sees her mother and children together on the street, her eyes can't be removed, how much she wants her mother, she wants a home!
One day, she saw a news report on TV about a woman adopting a child, and seemed to have the motivation and goal of life at once.
She began to save money, but a beggar who slept on the street could only steal what money she could earn. So she hid all the stolen money in a small box. However, a group of children were jealous of her uneven distribution and actually demolished her shack. At that moment, the strong girl broke down and cried.
Just then, he saw a blind old man selling street art and was warned to leave here. So she went up and begged the old man to leave with him and go to the big city.
So the two came to a new town and collaborated in the square to sell art to earn money. The old man played the violin, and she begged with a bowl. The harvest can at least barely survive. But the two still sleep on the street.
One day, the girl found the poster on the wall, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, decided to go to someone to write a revelation, and took a lot of copies, and then pasted it street by street. The content of the paper is that she wants to spend 30,000 yuan to buy a mother.
On a certain street, she met two boys, the eldest boy of fourteen or fifteen years old angrily chased her away, because this was their territory.
Looking at the children who have mothers, the girls are getting depressed, because the posters are useless.
The old man noticed her displeasure and suggested that he sing with him, because singing would make people happy. So, driven by the old man, the girl sang with him.
This scene happened to be seen by a bar owner who admired the girls' singing voices and invited them to his bar to sing, not only to make money, but also to provide accommodation.
The two were overjoyed, bought new clothes and went to sing, and sure enough, their singing was very popular. A week later, the bar was packed.
Not only did the two get paid, but they also enjoyed the good food and a place to sleep. Life seems to have ushered in a new beginning.
Unfortunately, one of the bar's helpers, jealous of them and occupying his previous room, framed the girl for stealing the boss's money.
The boss found a box of money for the girl, convinced she had stolen him, and threw them out overnight.
In this way, the girl not only lost the job, but also, the money she had accumulated for several years to buy her mother, all gone.
While she was frustrated, a nun with a poster approached the old man and said that the girl wanted to pay for her mother. The old man was shocked to hear this, and finally understood why she had been stealing money before. The two then discussed letting the girl go to the orphanage.
The girl was very angry after knowing it, quarreled with the old man, and left in a negative mood.
The little boy who had seen her and had been following her advised her to be with them. She went to the dilapidated house where they lived and cooperated with them to steal money at their instigation.
But a few days later, she decided not to do it again. He returned to the square and looked for the old man. But by this time the old man had already left to look for her.
Just then a woman came, saying that she had seen the old man and offered to take her to him.
As it turned out, the woman was a trafficker who took the girl to a ji courtyard in an attempt to sell her. The girl finally noticed something was wrong and immediately rushed out. Running back to the place where she lived with the two boys, she was about to take the money she had stored there, but was discovered by the big boy who had been following her, locked her up, and planned to help the traffickers sell her so that they could make a lot of money. And told the little boy to keep an eye on her.
The little boy immediately ran to find someone to help, and finally the old man happened to be led to the neighborhood by a kind showgirl. He found the old man and brought him to save the girl.
The big boy arrived, and the little boy kept pleading to let the girl go because he wanted a home, and the big boy was like his brother and Blanca was like his sister. Poor child, he was only four or five years old, skinny and skinny, and he couldn't protect himself.
Blanca, who sees the old man again, bursts into tears and agrees to go to the orphanage with him.
Yes, after a series of changes, she understood that the world was dangerous, and she could not cope with it alone.
However, she was very worried about the old man, because he could not see, worked hard to get some change, and was often stolen by some bad boys. The old man was reluctant to her, but there was no way, and the two had to cling to each other.
However, Blanca, who went to the orphanage, was a bit out of place and had been left behind.
Finally, one night a few days later, while everyone was sleeping, she ran out of the orphanage and ran wildly into the square in the dark of night.
At that time, just after dawn, she heard the old man's piano in the distance, and when she got closer, she saw the old man sitting there playing the piano. Beside him, there was a boy who was selling tobacco, and it was the little boy who called her sister.
In the morning light, the perceived old man looked at the girl and smiled.
Before, someone always asked what kind of person the old man was, and she said it was her father every time.
At this point, Blanca looked at her father, cried, and laughed again.
Finally, she didn't have to buy mom anymore, because she had a dad.
The Philippine film Blanca.
The story of a wandering little girl. This is the most poignant and moving story I have ever seen.
Looking at the street pair after pair of ordinary mothers and sons or mothers and daughters, the girl's envious eyes are sad; she tries her best to save money and wants to buy a mother's idea, which is even more heartbreaking.
The social heart is sinister, and it is not something that a 10-year-old girl can run alone.
The jealous helpers in the bar, the ill-intentioned traffickers on the street, and the big boys who are jealous of society all make the girls suffer irreparable pain;
But good people who are kind also warm the world.
The blind old man who treats his own child, the owner of the bar, the kind nun, the little boy who is unable to protect himself, the entertainer who helps the old man...
It is also these most ordinary people hidden in the corners of life that give us the most extraordinary warmth and love.
Some people asked that the orphanage was at least safe, some ate, some drank, some slept, and had fun partners. No need to sleep on the street, no need to beg three or four times, and you may be favored by adoptive families.
Why did Blanca choose to leave in the end?
Yeah, why did she choose to leave?
Because what she longs for more than material stability is affection, warmth, and love.
And all of this, she got in the blind old man.
This blind old man who had inadvertently met on the street and had experienced all kinds of things with him; this old man who was unable to protect himself, even his own life was poor and broken, but he did his best to care for and guard her.
And Blanca, why doesn't she want to use her small posture, with her infinite desire and precious warmth and love, to help and protect the elderly?
Things are difficult, life is not easy, however, because of love, they still have pure enthusiasm and courage for life.
The confrontation in the last scene, their mutual understanding of each other's intentions, makes people tear up.
May there be as little humiliation, framing and abduction as possible in the world; may every goodness not be betrayed; may every child receive warmth and love.
