Director‘s Statement:
Money is a heavy word, especially when life is full of borrowing money and debt repayment, its heaviness even exceeds itself. Some people use mineral water to wash their faces and rinse their mouths to quench their thirst, some people use their picked bottles to sell money to fill their stomachs, just as some people can easily go to university while others need to change their properties to ensure they complete their studies.
Han Peiyin went to work in the city with hope: because his son Han Shengli was in college. This is why Lao Han can live optimistically with debts. Lao Han firmly believes that victory will have a different future. Longing is a kind of behavior that will happen to everyone who has hope. When you feel that you are getting closer to the vision you are looking for, all difficulties are not called difficulties because you feel that there is something ahead. A good one, you don't believe it may be worse than you think, and you can't accept that it is actually just a mirage-like phantom. When Shengli whispered in his mouth while looking at the sky in the distance on the top of the teaching building, I thought I could stay here, it could even give people the illusion that all of this was a matter of course.
Living a better life is everyone’s wish, unless you feel that your current life is good enough. The victory of going to university in the city led to a difficult and embarrassing study life. At the same time, he deeply realized the superior conditions of the city compared to the countryside. Staying in the city was his greatest wish and his father's wish.
"Before 2013, at that time, we all had money. We have to go to Beijing to have a few days, and we must have a few days of fun..." When Han Peiyin looked forward to the future, victory was exhausted and desperate. To this scene he confided the words that he could not directly explain to his father: "If he can't accept it, he has to accept it. He also has to face the reality. The reality is like this."
In a prosperous dream, you think it’s within reach but you are actually out of it. When a belief that you have always believed in since childhood suddenly fails at a certain moment, you suddenly realize that things are not like this. What attitude would you choose?
Father Han Peiyin accepted this unacceptable reality! We should pay tribute to this brave father!
