Chapter 699: Understanding Others' Difficulties Is Kindness

On the big screen, the little sister was not very willing, but she still agreed to the boy's request.

My sister wore the boy's worn-out sneakers, which neither fit her feet nor looked good. They were nothing like her own pair of pink shoes with butterflies that had been repaired many times. My sister felt a little inferior, and only dared to sneak into school after making sure there was no one else on the street.

When school was over at noon, the sister tried her best to rush back, but when the boy changed his shoes and rushed to school, he was still late.

On the third day, the younger sister had to take an exam, but in order to prevent the boy from being late again, the younger sister handed in her paper early. However, on the way, her shoes fell into the ditch because they did not fit. The anxious younger sister chased after the boy desperately along the ditch. Fortunately, with the help of kind passers-by, she finally picked up the shoes.

The boy, who was waiting anxiously, couldn't help but have a quarrel with his sister.

Seeing the little sister's tears rolling down, the audience felt very distressed. What was even more distressing was what the boy said: "You can tell dad that I'm not afraid of being beaten, but he doesn't have money to buy you new shoes. He has to borrow money to buy them!"

The boy is only nine years old, but he can already understand his parents' difficulties and how difficult it is for the family to maintain its current situation. Perhaps just the money for a new pair of shoes is enough to make the barely balanced income and expenditure become overwhelmed.

So the boy would rather let his life be controlled by a pair of shoes: as soon as his sister got out of class, she would rush back home; while he would have changed into that pair of worn-out sneakers at the end of the alley and would run hard to school.

The two children had to endure disrupted lives and constant misunderstandings. In order to take turns wearing shoes to go to school, every day of life turned into a relay race.

A poor family, two sensible and sympathetic children, the meticulous care and love between the siblings, and the child actor's pitiful and sincere face, and slightly hoarse and aggrieved voice, made all the audience feel extremely distressed.

In the dimly lit cinema, sparse sobbing sounds were heard from every corner, and Lin Fan could even hear Hui Qiaodan's deliberately suppressed deep breathing.

Xia Yan heard the same thing, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she silently stuffed a pack of tissues into Hui Qiaodan's hand.

Hui Qiaodan held the pack of tissues tightly, and endured it again and again. Finally, two lines of tears slid silently down her cheeks.

The movie goes on.

Sure enough, the boy was late again and was caught by the school principal, who said that if the boy was late again next time, he would be expelled from school.

Fortunately, the teacher announced the test results that day, and the boy was rewarded with a new pen because he got first place. The boy ran home happily and happily gave his prize to his sister.

The sister happily accepted it and told the boy that she did not tell her father about the lost shoes. The brother and sister officially reconciled, and the boy's long-suppressed mood was also relieved a little.

However, one day, the younger sister accidentally saw her pair of pink shoes on another girl's feet at school. After school, the younger sister followed the little girl all the way, which made the boy late for school again.

Even more unfortunate, the boy was caught by the principal again. Fortunately, the teacher pleaded with the principal and the boy was not expelled from school.

After school, the boy and his sister excitedly went to the little girl's home to get their shoes back, only to discover that the girl's father was a blind man and her family's financial situation might be even worse than their own.

Faced with this situation, the boy and his sister thought of their father who was also working hard to make a living, and they couldn't bear to ask for their shoes back.

The audience watched the boy and his sister turn around silently and walk through the long alley with their heads down, and only then did they realize what Lin Fan wanted to express in this movie.

Maybe at the beginning, the audience saw such a poor family that couldn't even afford a pair of shoes, and thought that Lin Fan wanted to sell sympathy and make the audience feel pity, and then attract more people to pay attention to charity and help the disadvantaged groups.

But gradually, everyone felt something was wrong.

If Lin Fan really wanted to sell sympathy, he should have portrayed the lives of the brother and sister in a darker light, exposing the misery, depravity, and despair of life at the bottom of society.

But Lin Fan didn't.

An hour has passed since the whole movie started. Although the brother and sister have to shuttle through the streets every day for a pair of shoes, they have to sweat in the fertile soil of their dreams and race against time to go to school on time every day.

Like fireflies chasing the light, a light called "hope" flickers on their faces.

In particular, on the night the boy lost his sister's shoes, his mother asked his sister to pour a glass of sweet water for his father. When his sister brought the water to his father, his father asked his sister, "Why didn't you put sugar in the water?"

At this time, my father was using a hammer to break the candy into small pieces, so my sister said, "Isn't there candy here?"

But the father told his sister: "This is someone else's candy. It is just temporarily with me."

And now, the boy and his sister have clearly seen the lost pair of shoes. They can get them back by just asking. As long as they get the shoes back, they will no longer have to wear one pair of shoes to go to school.

But seeing the little girl's blind father, the boy and his sister fell silent.

Not taking other people’s things is honesty, and understanding other people’s difficulties is kindness.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

What Lin Fan wants to convey to the audience through this movie is definitely not just something as superficial as pity.

Instead, I want to raise this question to all the audience through the movie: What is the inevitable connection between poverty and wealth and simplicity, innocence, kindness and happiness?

No, isn't it? Just like the boy and sister in the movie, although they live in poverty, they never complain about their fate, but through their own efforts, they help and understand their parents' difficulties.

They run on the way to school every day, and no matter how difficult the life is, they never say, "I won't go to school without shoes."

Because they know that studying is the best way for them to change their poor lives. Although they are young, they are kind, considerate of their parents, respect their promises to each other, and are strong and sensible, which makes people feel both distressed and relieved.

Children like this will definitely live a good life when they grow up.

Isn't the most effective charity to enable them to have the quality and ability to change their lives? Hui Qiaodan suddenly understood why Huaxia Charity approved Lin Fan's script without changing a word.

More importantly: "Brother Fan."

"Hmm?" Lin Fan turned to look at Hui Qiaodan.

There were still traces of tears on Hui Qiaodan's cheeks, but her smile was extremely bright: "Brother Fan, this is the best movie I have ever seen."

No doubt about it.
