What exactly is a child for a parent? Elderly care tools? Poverty alleviation aid? The crystallization of love?
How should parents treat their children? Or how should children be treated by their parents?
In the movie "Little Shoes", the story begins with a pair of small shoes. After retrieving his sister's shoes from the repair shop, ali, the little boy, bought a large bag of scones, and then went to buy vegetables, and he conveniently placed the small shoes and scones in front of the vegetable shop. When Ali was picking potatoes, a waste collector passed by the vegetable shop and took away the black bag containing his sister's small shoes as waste...
Ali, who lost his little shoes, ran all the way home, and under the pressure of his sister, Ali had to tell the truth and begged his sister not to tell his mother. Then he rushed out of the house to find shoes.
The shoes could not be retrieved, and the sister was worried about going to school without shoes. In order not to be beaten by their father, the brothers and sisters decided after consultation that their sister would change shoes with Ali after returning from school, and each of them would wear it for half a day.
Since then, the brothers and sisters have opened the crazy running mode. As soon as the sister ran home after school, changing shoes with Ali who had been waiting for him near home, ali ran crazy to school.
As long as there is a slight displeasure, Ali will be late, and the sister will pay attention to the time in order that her brother is not late, and even hand in the papers in advance. My sister also accidentally dropped a shoe into the river because she ran too fast, and watched the shoe follow the river, and she chased it all the way.
Their journey to and from school becomes extremely bumpy, but until the end of the film, neither brother nor sister tells their parents about the loss of their shoes, because they know that their parents have no money to buy them shoes and will only be beaten.
It is inevitable that the child will do something wrong, but even if he accidentally loses his shoes, Ali does not dare to let his parents know, because he has the fear of being beaten in his heart.
Hitting a child is just an irrational outburst of his own, does it solve any problem? It will only make the child afraid of himself.
Throughout the film, Ali is sad most of the time.
When he went to find the missing shoes, he passed by a large group of his peers, and the other children played happily, but Ali did not care at all, even a little boy asked him to play with him, he could not answer.
And when he was in the mood to reply to the invitation of his friends, his answer was not to go, and his mother was sick.
At a young age, he knew that his family was poor, that his mother was sick, and that he needed to help with housework, so he even played this instinct to be invisibly killed.
A little boy of this age should have played carefree, but he lived like an adult, and he always felt heavy.
Once, when Ali learned that the prize for winning the third place in the long-distance running competition was a pair of shoes, Ali, who missed the registration time, begged the school teacher to let him participate in the competition, and promised that he would be able to run fast.
Ali, who qualified for the race, ran desperately on the day of the race, and his mind was full of the embarrassment of his sister and his shoes changing every day at school. He used his strength to reach the end of the line, and the most concerned question was whether he won the third place.
The only pair of shoes was worn out by running, and there were several blood blisters on both feet, but unfortunately, Ali did not get the new shoes as he wished, because he won the first place. At the reception, Ali always bowed his head in frustration, full of tears and full of sorrow. He may be the first person in the world who doesn't want to get first place, and the only one who gets first place and feels so sad.
After watching the film, the biggest puzzle in my heart: why is it that I am so poor, I already have two children and yet have a child?
Young Ali and his sister, who were supposed to need their parents' care and love, had to help their parents with housework and take care of the baby, and they would rather suffer than tell their parents when they lost their shoes.
Is such a child used to work for his parents?
Children should not be tools for the elderly and poverty alleviation assistants, and their growth should be easy and happy, not full of pain and sorrow.
