seem a little unbelievable, but in fact the movie has another title "Dream Shadow Childhood", so the plot of the film also has some fantasy fairy tales, which is exactly this imaginative The plot triggered the audience's nostalgia and sorrow for the past.
Send a small reunion, regain family affection. These plots can be met in real life. The innocence is fleeting. The simple and beautiful days of childhood can only be relived in the dream factory of movies. Director
cleverly inserted a number of old domestic films into the film, and every important life transition of the characters was transitioned by a domestic film. "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", "Railway Guerrilla", "I would rather die than surrender", "Small Street", "Angel on the Road", these old movies also hint at the fate of the protagonists.
Jiang Xuehua once dreamed of becoming a movie actor, but because of unmarried and first pregnancy, she suffered constant discrimination and criticism. After many failed struggles, she succumbed to reality and ended up being an ordinary woman.
