Introduction: Throughout the ages, ethics and morality are often the same. Ethics emphasizes the relationship between people and the rules for handling these relationships; while morality focuses on the rules and norms of people's behavioral relationships, which is a sociological concept. When family ethics and emotions are confronted and conflicted, the general public opinion is to accuse the parties and their behaviors that violate family ethics. However, in real life, there have been real cases of two families saving a child, which involved the three-party entanglement about maternal love, family ethics, and marriage. The family movie "Left and Right", released in the Mainland on April 1, 2008, tells a touching story about a pair of divorced parents saving a daughter suffering from leukemia. An anxious mother, with deep maternal love, uses her paranoia and madness to break through the shackles of secular prejudices and family ethics, just to allow an unfortunate little life to continue. While touching, it also makes people reflect on right and wrong between family affection and ethics. Faced with the choice of love, is it a dilemma, or go all the way and believe in the power of love. The movie

Judging from the score of 6.5 points on Douban, it is indeed not high, and it has divided into two factions with mixed praise and criticism. Although the film has problems such as lengthy plots and flawed details, the theme of conveying love is the most fundamental of the film.
How to let the power of love make people out of the dilemma of reality and morality, behind the seemingly absurd story is more about the choice of family affection, family ethics, and marriage emotion. In the depressed atmosphere, the arrangement of fate and family responsibilities, love and trust gave the two families the most primitive strength to relieve themselves.

Two reorganized families that are swayed by destiny, the grand theme of "we believe in love" is embodied in relation to family, family, and marriage, making love decisions in moral dilemmas. In the film, everyone seems to be in a dilemma under the real lens. In order to save the lives of their children, parents can do their best to give selflessly, even if they have their own families. The maturity of a man often starts from assuming responsibility; while the maturity of a woman starts from the transformation of the role of a mother. Every mother can become a strong person in life, for the sake of her children, and for the mother to be strong.

Chinese traditional moral concepts have become an important factor that influences the audience’s psychology in the process of watching the film. Perhaps, many people are not ashamed of this extraordinary behavior. From the perspective of moral dilemma, saving her daughter's life is a matter of course, but the heroine's overly selfish approach undermined the happiness of the three people, which seems unfair. Whether it is impulse or maternal love, what she did is only for one purpose, saving her own children and exploring the essential meaning of life. She resolutely took this step. Regardless of the strange vision and prejudice of others towards her, she unhesitatingly believed in the miracle of fate. The
family is jointly run by the husband and wife. On the basis of mutual trust and deep emotion, they have experienced wind and rain and faced difficulties. The establishment of a happy family requires not only believing in love, but also understanding the meaning of life, and making progress together in a mutually inclusive and considerate life. Family affection is pure, without any selfish thoughts and betrayal. It needs more understanding and tolerance.
With regard to family, affection, and marriage, under the shackles of Chinese traditional moral thinking, some behaviors are difficult for people to accept in a short time. It is enough to have the courage to sacrifice for love, not to care about the worldly vision, to have a clear heart, and to gain understanding and tolerance from others. The practical significance of the film
: the middle-aged crisis encounters a major illness, the ethical farce caused by the confusion of the family, the right and the wrong, the definition of family ethics under the power of maternal love
natural disasters and man-made disasters not only make a family in desperation, but also make a family in peace Family relations become unbalanced. Especially when a child suffers a serious illness, the maternal love and the selflessness of the father's love are the responsibility of caring for a weak life and being a parent. People in middle age are unavoidable to face various pressures, and some pressures are unavoidable, and they can only accept helpless and embarrassed destiny arrangements.
A woman born out of the most primitive instinct allows her child to come out of the torture of illness and to continue her life. She herself is under tremendous psychological pressure and is eager to save her., The ethical farce staged makes it difficult for many people to accept. From the perspective of modern people, she can be infamous in the name of violating family ethics and morals, but please don’t forget that she is also a desperate mother, letting go of her dignity and breaking the chains of marriage and morality. This kind of courage is not for everyone. Yes, they deserve respect. The
movie "Left and Right" has made a comprehensive interpretation of the absurd behavior of breaking family ethics with the attitude of moral observation, and brought out an ethical topic that everyone would like to understand from a human perspective. What is right and what is wrong, everyone has their own answers, and we cannot judge the rationality and legitimacy of people's behavior in extreme situations. In the dilemma between the two families, we probably saw the kindness of human nature.
