Life is nothing but death.
Author: Insight
On June 24, 2022, a funeral-themed movie entered our field of vision, making us re-recognize the unfamiliar profession of morticians.
He is the producer of Han Yan , and Liu Jiangjiang wrote and directed " Life Events ".
People learned from this movie:
's death is no longer cold and terrifying, but a calm and objective existence.
is something each of us will learn to face one day, and we have to face it. The male protagonist Mo Sanmei in the
movie is a mortician with a grumpy temper and a stubborn personality.
He has been in prison, abandoned by his girlfriend, and lived a poor and difficult life.
Although he is poor, he is clean and does not steal from people. Although
is tough, he is kind, adopted and takes good care of Xiaowen. The heroine in the
movie is a little girl - Xiaowen.
Xiaowen has not been cared for by her parents since she was a child. She lives with her grandmother, who passed away due to illness and was rejected by her uncle's family.
But she has the courage to face hardships, always loves life, and has created an impressive character for us.
Mo Sanmei made Xiaowen feel the father's love, and Xiaowen also made Mo Sanmei gradually mature and full of sense of responsibility. The storyline of the
movie has its ups and downs, which has made us re-acquainted with the profession of mortician, and has also taught us many life principles.
01
· Cherish the people around you, you never know when they will leave you.
The story takes place in a city alley. The male protagonist is named Mo Sanmei, who runs a funeral shop with two friends - Shangtian. The hostess of
is Xiaowen, a lively little girl who was an orphan since childhood. She was adopted by her uncle's family and brought up by her grandmother.
"There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and disasters and good fortune in people's lives", you never know which will come first tomorrow or the accident.
On this day, when my grandmother couldn't wake up, Xiaowen lost her closest person, and as a little girl, she didn't know what death meant.
His uncle called the undertaker, Sanmei Mo, to arrange makeup for Xiaowen's grandmother, and took the body to the cremation ground for cremation.
Xiaowen didn't believe that her grandmother had left her. She always thought it was Sanmei Mo and the others who hid her grandmother and secretly came to their residence to find her.
Xiaowen made trouble for Sanmei Mo in order to find her grandmother.
"I thought grandma was in that big box".
"Your grandmother was burned, turned into smoke, floated into the sky, and you will never see her again".
's short one-minute conversation made countless people's tears roll in the corners of their eyes.
In real life, I don't know how many children are like Xiaowen, who have no parents and live a difficult life.

· In front of family, many things seem less important. The death of the strange girl in the
video is also difficult for many people.
For parents, the biggest pain is "white-haired people send black-haired people".
The biggest wish of parents in the world is to hope that their children can grow up healthily.
It is very unfortunate that Mo Sanmei and Xiaowen met a middle-aged couple in the hospital, and their daughter left them due to illness.
Mo Sanmei offered to help the middle-aged couple deal with their child's funeral, and the middle-aged couple gladly accepted.
But Xiaowen painted colorful colors on the custom-made urn for the little girl.
Mo Sanmei originally thought that the middle-aged couple would be angry, but what she didn't expect was that the little girl's mother said in tears:
"Our daughter is her, she likes to draw".
middle-aged husbandThe wife bowed deeply to Mo Sanmei and expressed her heartfelt thanks.
"A loving mother is on the line, and a wandering child is on top." Family is everyone's weakness.
The love of parents is great, " thinks about family every time during the festive season", when we are away, we must remember to go home often, leave time to our family, and listen to the nagging from our parents.

·Home is a place that carries love, and there is love and there is home.
The most infuriating character in Life Events is Aunt Xiaowen. Especially what she said to the crowd:
"My mother didn't leave me a penny, why should I keep this oil bottle?"
framed Mo Sanmei for stealing, and now she dislikes Xiaowen and wants to chase her out of the house. The words
, cold-blooded and ruthless, are vividly reflected in her.
At the same time, we also saw the weakness of Uncle Xiaowen and the rigidity of Brother Xiaowen. The
family is everyone's safe haven, but for Xiaowen, the family he lives in is like a five-finger mountain to her, which often overwhelms her.
This is also the main reason why Xiaowen chose to leave his uncle's house and live with Mo Sanmei in the middle of the plot. The main reason why
is called home is the presence and company of family members.
does not have the oppressive atmosphere of power struggle and intrigue.
has only laughter and happy scenes.
There is a small detail in Mo Sanmei's adoption of Xiaowen. In the past, he adopted Xiaowen because of money, but when he adopted Xiaowen later, he rejected the money given by Xiaowen's uncle. On the one hand,
is an uncle's family who have lived together for more than ten years, and on the other hand is Mo Sanmei, who has just gotten along with each other. The two form a great contrast and are extremely ironic.
A family who is unwilling to open the door for themselves will not have feelings for them no matter how long they live.
Xiaowen was very fortunate to meet the three of them Mo Sanmei, and felt the care of their family from the three of them.
But other left-behind children in real life may not be so lucky.
According to the statistical analysis of data on left-behind children in China in 2022, at present, the number of rural left-behind children under the age of 16 in my country is 9.02 million. Among them, 8.05 million people are under the guardianship of (foreign) grandparents, accounting for 89.3%; 300,000 people are under the guardianship of relatives and friends, accounting for 3.3%; 310,000 people are migrant workers and the other party has no guardianship ability, accounting for 3.4%; 360,000 people Left-behind children in rural areas are unsupervised, accounting for 4%. They need more care. It is the responsibility of the whole society to support left-behind children with love.

·Honoring parents is the foundation of "benevolence" and the foundation of life. Another impressive scene in the
film is that of a living grandfather trying to give himself a funeral.
It sounds incredible that a living person would like to do a funeral for himself.
Mo Sanmei and the others met the absurd request of the grandfather because of "300,000" and held a grand funeral for him.
But the funeral ended the farce when the grandfather's family disturbed him. The grandfather behind
also explained why he wanted to hold a funeral for himself.
On the one hand, because Mo Sanmei encountered difficulties, Xiaowen took the initiative to find the old grandfather and wanted to give the third brother the money that her grandmother had saved during her lifetime.
On the other hand, the old grandfather has a demolition fund in his hand, but the family is in a lot of trouble because of the money. The grandfather is very disappointed with the family. He would rather use the money to help Xiaowen and Mo Sanmei, but he is not willing to give it own children.
"I don't care about the world anymore".
expresses the sadness and pain of the old man over the years. Grandpa
obviously has sons and daughters, but he is not happy. The family only cares about the money in his hand, and never really cares about himself. Grandpa
wants to help Xiaowen because he and Xiaowen have the sameExperience:
"Obviously I have a home, but I don't feel at home".
In real life, there are many people like grandpa, who are not understood by their family members, and even excluded.
Honoring the elderly is a traditional virtue of our Chinese nation. They have been busy for most of their lives and should enjoy the warmth from society and family.

· People can be unsuccessful, but they cannot be unkind.
Mo Sanmei's ex-girlfriend abandoned him and found a rich man to marry, but the man died in a drunk driving accident.
Mo Sanmei put down her past resentment and helped her ex-girlfriend's husband stitch up the body for free.
Xiaowen's watch was accidentally damaged, and the watch contained the voice of her grandmother.
Mo Sanmei tried every means to repair Xiaowen's watch.
Xiaowen has reached the age to go to kindergarten.
Mo Sanmei took on the responsibility of a father, picking Xiaowen to and from school every day.
Xiaowen's mother found Mo Sanmei and wanted Xiaowen to go back.
Mo Sanmei would also rather return his favorite Xiaowen to her mother.
Zhou Guoping once said: "The meaning of kindness lies in kindness itself."
A person who does not know kindness all his life, his heart is cold and desolate. I have lived in the cold and darkness all my life, and I have never felt the warmth.
Because of their kindness, Xiaowen and Mo Sanmei felt warmth in each other.
Xiaowen regarded Mo Sanmei as her father, and Mo Sanmei also gave Xiaowen the missing fatherly love.
In the end, Xiaowen quietly left her mother and returned to Mo Sanmei and the others. Because of Xiaowen's sake, her mother also followed Mo Sanmei to work as an undertaker. At the end of the
video, Xiaowen has a new home and parents who love her.
Mo Sanmei has also become mature, with her own life goals and plans, and his world has changed from darkness to light.
Those who are still willing to believe in kindness after the hardships are always followed and illuminated by the light.
Romain Rolland once said:
There is only one kind of heroism in the world, that is, after seeing the truth of life and still loving life.

There are no obstacles in life that cannot be overcome. We must dare to face difficulties and believe that everything will be better, and everything is the best arrangement. At the end of the
movie, everyone gets together, eating apples and watching the stars.
Because everyone knows:
"Every star in the sky is a person who has loved us and is guarding us".
The last sentence of the movie is for everyone:
Life is like a book, it will turn to the last page.
Some people end with a period, some people end with a ellipsis ,
fame and fortune are fleeting, life is nothing but death!
Like it and share it with your friends.
