You may have these kinds of troubles every day:
Girlfriend is too bad, boyfriend is not good for you, earn money is not enough to spend, position is not high enough, the house is not big enough, the car is not cool enough, the children's grades are not satisfied...
When we complain about the unsatisfactory nature of life, in parallel worlds, there is another group of people experiencing a more tragic fate.
In "One Seat," Anna, a doctor who went abroad to support war-torn countries, talks about one of the most impressive patients:
In a small family in Somaliland, because of poverty and lack of fertility knowledge, a mother gives birth at home and then suffers heavy bleeding after childbirth. The family, who lacked medical knowledge, really couldn't stand it, so she went to the hospital hundreds of kilometers away. She waited for a long time on the road and finally met the kind driver who promised to take her to the hospital by the way, but unfortunately, the car broke down halfway. She walked on the desert for 2 days, against the big sun, without eating or drinking to the hospital. When Dr. Anna saw her, she looked at her face and thought she needed first aid. After examination, it was found that his hemoglobin was only 1.96 grams. What is the concept of 1.96 grams? In Beijing, if your hemoglobin is 6 grams, the doctor will immediately pull you to the emergency room for rescue, because you may have been in shock at that time.
On January 23, 2020, In order to prevent the large-scale spread of the epidemic, Wuhan had to be locked down. The first time such a major black swan event was encountered, it led to medical paralysis in many parts of Hubei Province.
Do you know how many people are critically ill without getting timely checks and treatment? How many seriously ill patients who are not the cause of the epidemic cannot receive timely treatment because of the epidemic?
Some Hubei people have helped us bear the fate that should not have belonged to them.
In March, more than 200,000 people were infected in the United States, and one photo is still fresh: because the morgue cannot be put down, the rows of corpses can only be temporarily placed in refrigerated trucks.
What would you do if you lived in a family of five or six children: taking care of your brother and sister every month; constantly going to odd jobs, constantly starving and being beaten by your parents?
This is the male protagonist in "What a Home": a teenage boy. The film is based on the real life of Syrian refugees.
Tips: Spoilers below
"What a Home" mainly tells the story of a young boy accusing his parents of giving birth to him. In fact, he is not only accusing his parents, but also of feudal social systems and systems, because his parents are also victims of society.
After watching this movie, you will most likely feel like this: despair, disappointment, helplessness, powerlessness, depression.
Zane, a teenage boy, lives with his siblings in the slums of Lebanon. His father did not allow him to go to school, and he and his sister had to work odd jobs every day to help the family make ends meet. Although life is hard, Zane and his sister can still live happily together.
Not long after the good times, the parents, forced by the pressure of rent, forcibly sold their sister to the landlord's house as a wife.
The difficulties of life are tolerable, but Zane cannot bear the tragic fate of his sister being sold. He angrily boarded the general bus and ran away from home.
He lives on the streets and can't find a job to support himself, but is taken in by a well-meaning Ethiopian female worker, Rahir. Raheel takes care of Zane like he would take care of his own 1-year-old. He also wants to take care of his 1-year-old baby like a loved one.
But Rahir's situation is equally difficult, she does not have the legal resident status of Lebanon and has been working by borrowing a fake identity. Until one day, detained by the police, Rahil never returned home. Zane could only bring sugar and water frozen into ice cubes and a 1-year-old child to fill his hunger and began a life of going out to beg for food.
In the end, Zane, who could not solve the problem of food and clothing, could only sell his 1-year-old baby to the traffickers in exchange for a little money to realize the dream of immigration.
Zane, who went home to get his identity certificate, learned that his sister was pregnant and bleeding heavily, because she did not have an identity certificate, and even died before the door of the hospital was entered. He rushed into the landlord's house with a knife, stabbed his "brother-in-law" and was sentenced to five years in prison.
Zane's mother came to visit him and told him that his sister was gone, and he was sad, but she was pregnant again and could have another sister. This brought Zane's anger to the extreme, and Zane called the TV station to accuse his parents. In court, Zane said: "I hope those who can't take care of the children don't have children. ”
The most heart-wrenching thing about this movie is that Zane plays his own real-life experiences. Zane has been a newspaper delivery man since he was 10 years old, his 11-year-old sister sells gum on the streets, and the female cleaner is the biological parent of an Ethiopian laborer (cheap laborer) who was over 1 year old and was deported during the filming of the film.
The director said: They are not acting, they are showing their own real life.
After the film was released, the response was overwhelming, and the UN REFUGEE agency helped Zane's family move to Norway. In fact, less than 1 per cent of refugees worldwide can be resettled. Today, Zane and his siblings go to school in Norway, and the family lives in a Norwegian seaside town where they can see the sea through the window. "It's all as beautiful as a fairy tale." Labaki said. That's also the power of cinema.
Have you ever experienced the pain of losing a loved one? Have you ever tasted the hunger of not having food? Have you ever experienced homeless despair?
When we live in a materially rich, war-free, relatively safe environment, and if we do not see and hear the people and things that are happening in parallel worlds, it is difficult for us to feel that there is such a life in the world.
But we can at least think about the following two points: First, when you feel that life is not satisfactory, you may wish to look more, listen to the parallel world, the tribulations they encounter, and compare them, our troubles are really not called things. Second, as human beings, in addition to pursuing a better material and spiritual life, we can do our part to provide a little help to the kind of people struggling at the poverty line.
The eyes become clearer because of the more tears, and the heart becomes warmer because of the troubles.
May all brave children be treated with tenderness.
